"Double Dipping Castaways" September 26, 2014, 5 nights on the Wonder

[DVC Mouse House]

Can't wait for this cruise! Was so excited to learn that this cruise is included in Halloween on the High Seas --- what a surprise to us, I thought it was going to be too early. This will be our 3rd Disney Cruise and have never participated in a Fish Extender group. Is it too late? Can someone send information on how to sign up? Cruising with husband and 5 year old daughter.

Welcome! Search for the group on fb "Disney Wonder Sept 26, 2014" pretty sure there's still room, I think we're on group 6. Most of the chatter regarding the cruise in general is on their as well.

We will also be on this cruise. This will be our third Cruise. First two time were on the Dream. Interested in the FE. Is it to late to join? What all do I have to do? Also new to this forum.

PS it will be me, my husband and teenage son. He is special needs. He always looks at the doors of others and ask why they all look so nice. I would love to get in on the excitement if it's not to late. Thanks!

I am not sure if the FE groups are closed yet or not, but I think there are a couple spots open in group #5! If you'll scroll back through posts here, you'll see posts about the FE by Sporty. I think she is the one in charge of the groups. If you can't join a group, I am at least willing to do a one-on-one cabin exchange, since I have a few extra gifts. Just let me know!

Thank you so much! This will be our first FE so I'm still unsure how this all works. If someone could please fill me in on the details. I know each one is different so I don't want to not do it correct. Please let me know if I even have time to get in on one at this point or how I can go about getting the door hanger and just doing it myself. Even if I can only swap with one or two families. I would be happy.

Thanks!

You can use a cute bag for your FE hanger, or you could make one. I've seen people make them from pencil bags hooked together with key rings, or duct tape ones, or modified hanging organizers from Ikea or the baby department of Walmart! If you want one that looks more "professional" you could order one online. Just do an internet search for "fish extender" to find lots of options. Really, it doesn't have to be perfect.

There is another group forming on fb Look up disney wonder september 26, 2014. I'm in the last group and there aren't many people yet. I think she is still adding people as they come in. Go to the page and sign up.

We just booked our cruise. We are so excited to enjoy 2 days at Castaway Kay. I'm traveling with my husband our two children and my in laws. We would love to join a FE group. My kids thought it was so much fun on our last cruise. I went on Facebook to sign up. (Believe it or not this was my first time on Facebook). Still waiting to join the Facebook group. HELP!!! Since I've never done this before I'm not sure what I'm doing.

Hello Everyone! I'm completely new to the DCL forum, so please bear with me My husband and I have been on two Carnival cruises in the past and never did excursions (1st cruise we just didn't know what to do; 2nd cruise I was pregnant). With this cruise, our 4yo daughter is coming and we wanted to do some sort of Dolphin encounter... But they're only available in Nassau and we (oddly enough) have some specific places to go, so there just won't be enough time. Now to my question what types of activities are worth doing in Castaway Cay for a 4yo... We can't decide at all and are disappointed that dolphins aren't an option there. Thanks!

Hi every one. I would like to join group 6 for the fish extender exchange. I sent a request to join the Facebook page but have still not seen any acceptance to the group. My fear is that it is going to be to late. Is there any one in group 6 that can help me sign up? Like I said earlier this is my first time on Facebook and I used my husbands account that he rarely uses. I may be doing something wrong. The last time I participated in the FE it was all done through DISboard.

This will be my second cruise with my children. My boys are 3 and 10. They love Castaway Cay!!!! My 10 yr. old went snorkeling and enjoyed many tris down the slide. My 3 year old spent his day visiting with characters, exploring, and playing in the water and on the beach. That was all he needed and did not want to leave. Actually neither of my boys wanted to leave. That is why we choose to go on this cruise. If your little girl loves the beach she will LOVE Castaway Cay! It is wonderful!!!

Welcome! Send a PM to "Sporty" here on Disboards, she's the one in charge of all the groups. I'll say something on fb as well to make sure she knows. As far as I know the groups are still open.

I'm in group 6. It should still be open. As of right now we only have 4 cabins. Don't know if she has any new people. Good Luck! I would love to have more than just 4 cabins.

Also according to alot of fb posts. Some people don't use the dis boards anymore so you have to really sign up via fb to make sure people see your post.
