It is a bit of a runaround! At the top of the
Disney Cruise Line Forum there is a
Disney Cruise Meets link. Then you have to Click on the Fantasy 2018 post and the list of those meets are in there. I just pinned this page to my bookmarks to avoid clicking a hundred times to get here. Although, when there are a bunch of people posting, it's easy to get to the thread through your Alerts on the right side of the screen.
I like DIS for the personal feel as well! It feels more like a group conversation instead of random questions and responses. My last DIS group was awesome and we really got to know each other before we cruised. I hope this board will be active like that for this cruise as well! And there is plenty of time to decide about joining an FE.
