Disney Fantasy May 7, 2016 Eastern Itinerary

[Hunclemarco]

We are counting down. . . This will be our first Disney cruise (I have been on maybe 6-7 other cruises before) and the twins first cruise. I think I booked the day it went online and can't wait. Dawn (turning 45 on the cruise) & Darrell (48), the twins Abigail & Nathan (will almost be 6 when we cruise), and my brother Shane (almost 40 when we cruise). We will be in one of the concierge suites (12514). Are they able to participate in the FE? (I don't know that much about them, but it sounds like fun. I did read we can't do the door magnets so not sure about the FE.) If we are not too late and can do the FE, here is our information:

Yes for alcohol
No allergies
My favorite characters are Belle, Ewoks, Dopey
Darrell's favorite are SuperHero's, Grumpy
Shane's are IronMan, Yoda, and Captain Jack Sparrow
Nathan's are SuperHero's, Star Wars bad guys, Captain Hook & Smee
Abby's are Mickey and Gang, Captain Hook (NOT the princesses)

Hello, your information has been entered into the FE chart.

 

[Hunclemarco]

Hello, my family will also be on this cruise - DH, myself, our son who turns 3 during the cruise, and our baby girl who will be 9.5 months at the time of the cruise. My ILs will also be joining us. We are looking forward to it!

Did I know you will be on this cruise?? My son turns 3 a month later. We followed you on your cruise last year- (we cruised just after you then as well!) and then your Disney trip while prego. (Apparently I'm a stalker!) We are doing a last Disney trip before my son's 3 right before this cruise My mom will be joining us as well- maybe we can get together for a adult beverage some evening while the grandparents sit the kiddos.

Hi! Yes, I think that I had mentioned this cruise in my last TR and you said that you had booked it but weren't sure if you might switch dates. We should definitely get together some evening! We should also get the boys together to play at some point. Rory is so excited about the cruise and always talks about his birthday and going on the cruise ship with Mickey!

[Matsu Family]

Great, thank you. We are totally excited.

 

[AnnaS]

I did not realize there was been activity on here. I have not received any emails or any indication of new posts here when I sign on - Since they changed the board format, not sure if I am supposed to do anything. I thought I was/am subscribed to all threads that I respond too.

Hello! I'm trying to find out some information on how my family can join the FE group for the 5/7 Eastern Caribbean Sailing on the Fantasy. We are a family of 5 in stateroom 8644.

There is information in previous posts about what information is needed. You then post that information and it gets added to the FE sheet that is later uploaded here. We can't put outside links here.

 

[Lori_C]

Thank you PackYourPixieDust! I've never been on a board before so I am totally new to this experience . I've read through some of the previous posts and I found this "Hello! Can you give me your names, ages, stateroom number, favorite characters, allergies, special occasions, and if you would allow alcohol as a gift? Thanks "
This is my 4th Disney Cruise but only the second for my kids. The last cruise we were on we saw the FE's and we are so very excited about joining a group this time. Hopefully there is enough space. So here is our information if we can get added:

Stateroom Number - 8644
Names
Mom
Dad
Mimi
Jaxson - 7 (Really into Pirates)
Lilly - 3 (will be 4 a week after we sail) - All the princess (although Favorites are Ariel, Tinkerbell, Anna)
There are no allergies and yes alcohol would be fine. We are celebrating both of the kids Birthday's. Jaxson's is in April and Lilly's in May so we try to take the cruise between the both of them

 

[DisneyGirlSB]

We are so excited for this cruise! We are celebrating my daughter turning 7 (her birthday is in June, but we wanted to cruise before summer). We are an odd mix, 2 mother/daughter groups and a family friend. Can't wait to participate in the FE and hopefully meet some of you!

 

[schmass]

For those of you with little ones that are too young for most of the excursions and still need to be in car seats, what do you plan on doing on the port days?

ou then post that information and it gets added to the FE sheet that is later uploaded here.

I'm not sure whether there is a DISboards FE group. The only one I found for your cruise meet group (started by grad201182) hasn't really been mentioned lately (most likely because it's actually being handled on another site). Last visit to this thread by grad201182 was March 2015.

If you want a FE group here on DISboards you may have to start your own:
Setting up FE group

It appears there are a number of you who are interested in a Fish Extender group. There isn't one currently set up here on DISboards. Here's a little write up on how FE groups are set up:

There really are no "rules" as to how a FE program runs. Basically someone maintains the list of those who wish to participate. The group can decide on what information is necessary to produce FE gifts. A basic list may only have DISname/room number/number of people in the room. A more involved list could be first & last names/ages/room number/favorite character/favorite color/allergies/whatever is deemed necessary to know. Also a decision can be made as to size of FE. Some groups break out the list(s) at 10-15 rooms max, so that there are multiple lists (and some people will participate in more than one list). Other groups just make one big list (upwards of 20-30 rooms).

At some point the list will "close". Typically this happens 30-45 days out from the cruise, so that everyone participating has time to organize/prepare their gifts. Shortly before this time (about 2-3 weeks prior) the organizer will either post the list (usually via a conversation is best, as that's more private), or directly on the Cruise Meet thread, to confirm everyone on it is still participating. It’s important to make a statement about"anyone not confirming by XX date will be dropped"at this time. A little harsh, yes, but often there are people who will post on the cruise meet thread as soon as the reserve the cruise and say “I want to participate”, and are never heard from again.

Once the list closes, the organizer will post the final list. Also, a decision must be made as to whether to allow late additions. Sometimes there is a "pixie dust" list. That is, basically, a latecomers list that gets posted about a week out from the cruise that others may or may not add to their "final" list. Be sure the "pixie dust" list participants realize they may or may not get gifts from others, but are expected to provide gifts for the other FE participants anyway.
The other "biggie" is no other social media sites are allowed to be linked or search directions posted as to how find that other site here on DISboards. Please read this:
http://www.disboards.com/threads/im...uise-meet-and-fish-extender-programs.3353477/

As it seems there are a few here on your cruise meet thread who would be interested in doing this, who’s going to step up and volunteer to maintain the list?

I will also note, to participate in conversations, everyone needs to have at least 10 posts. For those who wish to use this option for private conversations and don't have 10 posts yet, head over to the Test board to post and up your post count.http://www.disboards.com/forums/test-board.88/

Up to 20 people can participate in any given conversation.

Good luck.
