You can remove the extra children listed after Catrina 10. Those children belong to our friends who are traveling with us. I can't get them to jump on this board.

Done!

thanks annette

Go to this page http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=33184281&postcount=2 and scroll down to Fish Extenders for links to info on what it is and how it works.

The Secret Mickey is like a Secret Santa exchange

Here's the rules:
3 gifts (including the final gift) through the cruise left in the stateroom via the stateroom attendant
Final gift is given at the reveal where All SMs will meet. (will be scheduled for the final day of the cruise)
Cost: $15-20 total

If you are interested in the Secret Mickey exchange, PM me your name, stateroom, likes, dislikes, interests, favorite character and any other info your SM might find helpful. You may sign up as a family or an individual. Most people have been signing up as individuals.

Hi all! I haven't seen any updates on the FE for a bit. It looks like it was decided to split it up? This is our first time, so I don't know what to expect. If it's split to a group of 25 and their are 4 pp/room, that means we'll need 100 items? I also want to make sure we were added to the list, as I am not able to PM yet. Maybe I'll keep posting, until I can...

Welcome Jennah and family! My daughter Rachel will also be 14 and on this cruise. Only, she won't know about it until we get there since it's a SURPRISE! But she made great friends on our last Magic cruise so I know she'll be glad to meet other DIS kids again.

I have an idea we did on our Magic cruise- we got wristbands (think Livestrong style) so we could easily identify each other on the ship. We had our cruise motto on it. We got them in kids' sizes as well as adults so everyone could have a size that fit. It was fun. The person who coordinated them preordered about 2 months ahead so we'd have a final count, and mailed them to each participating family so we could wear them right away onboard. If anyone is interested, I can ask her about the website she used.

I like the bracelet idea, or maybe lanyards?

 

[ohmimiley]

The bracelet idea actually is pretty amazing. We did it on our last cruise! I actually know a couple websites where you make bracelets. I could check 'em out & put a link here . If thats okay with you guys ?​

Hi Jennah, welcome to the thread. I'll be bringing my nine year old grandson Andre'. I'm sure he'd like to meet your brothers. I also like the wrist band idea.

Hi everyone Me, my DH, DD 9 and DD 7 will be joining on this cruise. I can't wait. This would be our first DC. Is it too late to join Fish Extender?

 

[toescat]

I have been away from the boards for two months! I can't believe it. I have been so busy with work, work and work. I get home at night and all I want to do is veg, no computer, no talking no nothing. Weekends have been busy with sporting events and then cleanning house.

Our Brentwood group has not had their Fish Extenders Dinner yet, they are all afraid they will get to excited for the cruise to start it now. Well that is not me, I have to be more than prepared or I can't sleep. I have been buying a few things here and there. I got a pirate costume from the Spirit Store for $4.98 yesterday and I am hoping to find more like that for the rest of the family.

We have made our reservations for the hotel the night before the cruise and that was a huge relief. I had been trying for six months but they would not take the reservation more than six months out. Some of our group will be at Disneyland Hotel and will take a cab from there to the ship. I like seeing the ship come into the chanel early in the morning so I turned down staying at Disneyland. No I am not crazy, I just like watching Saturday cruises leave as I sip a Marguarita and eat Chips and Salsa at the Acapulco Resturant right at the pier. Both Princess and RCL leave port on Saturdays.

See ya real soon

Hi Cruisindisney! I can't decide on the FE or the Secret Mickey Exchange. I have done the FE exchange before. It is fun and my DD really gets a kick out of getting a gift everyday. But we ended up filling a whole DCL tote with gifts for the trip home, which was way too much. Secret Mickey Sounds like fun too. But if I know my DD, she will be looking for a gift everyday. Once you do the FE Exchange, you do get spoiled. It's like Santa Claus comes and visits you everyday. Sometimes two and three times a day!

Maybe I should sign her up for the Secret Mickey and then supplement with my own gifts for her in our FE. She won't know the difference.

I can't wait to meet you all. I know this is premature, but is anyone considering doing a Fantasy Cruise? I was thinking about booking Eastern Carribean for summer 2012.

2Princessa, we are practically neighbors since we live an hour away from each other. Are you planning on driving or flying. We always drive as we do not have to worry about rushing to the airport to hurry up and wait, plus we do not have the added stress of getting to the airport when the cruise returns. The shipped got fogged out one year and we missed our 3:00 PM flight as the coast guard held the ship at sea until 1:45 PM. By the time we got off of the ship it was 3:00.

We have a group of 28 including kids going on this cruise from Brentwood. All the kids are on the same football, baseball, basketball and swim team so they are excited to meet new friends.

 

[2princessa]

Hi neighbor, we are planning to drive. We were thinking of going to San Diego Zoo before the cruise or after the cruise since we are in So. Cali already.You have a big group sounds fun.This is our first DC i'm sooo excited. I haven't told my kids yet i'm trying to surprise them(not sure for how long). We went to Target earlier and i bought pirate costumes for my DD''s for $3.45 only..good deal.

 

[2princessa]

toescat how would i know if i'm part of the FE exchange. I can't pm anyone right now, i have to have 10 post before i can pm someone argggh!!

 

[toescat]

2Princessa, I just pm'd ethanash to confirm with her that you want to be added to FE.

This will be our first Disney cruise too, however we are not new to cruising. We are very excited about the cruise and it will be a lot of fun. Our group all went to school together so they have a long history of be friends so they are all looking forward to the cruise. A few couples have cruised before and the rest of them this will be their first cruise ever. I still remember the day I went on my first cruise and how shocked I was at how large the ship was. I can't wait for the first time cruisers to see the ship and its size.

 

[2princessa]

Thank you toescat, i can't wait to start making our FE..(lol wish me luck)...this would be my 2nd cruise, we went on a cruise to MR on our honeymoon in 1999, the place probably look so diff now..we can't wait to cruise with our kids...i am sooo excited for them...i can't wait to see their reaction

 

[toescat]

we went on a cruise to MR on our honeymoon in 1999, the place probably look so diff now..[/QUOTe

PV and Cabo have changed alot in the respect that there are a lot of new hotels, 1999 they were still building the mall in Cabo and it has now been done for 9 years and it is a beautiful part of the marina with some high end stores in it. Matz, looks the same as it did 20 years ago. There has been a lot of home building in Matz, but that is not where any of the tourist go.

 

[MamaKate]

Just a quick hello from me . It's been a little slow around here .

I'm not doing the FE because I'm sure I'll be so frazzled before the trip that I won't be able to put together anything nice for everyone. I'd love to do it, but I think it's in everyone's best interest if I don't .

I am going to do the Secret Mickey exchange, because it will be easier for me to handle gifts for just one person .

So has anyone started making any plans for port days?? I can start booking excursions on Dec. 20th and I keep flip flopping what I want to do. I'm also going to book Palo for brunch and a few hours of Flounders for the little one.

I wanted to do Palo for dinner, but I thought I might feel odd dining by myself (It will just be me and my 3 kids).

Well I hope everyone is doing well.

,
Katie
