Dustermom - there's a lot of discussion about the arrival time and boarding numbers. Not sure if there's a connection or not.

Hi everyone. I'm new and just wanted to introduce myself. We are sailing on 7/19 as well. I've been on several cruises but this is our maiden Disney voyage. So very excited! We will be sailing with my parents, my DH, DS (6) and DD (5)I'm looking into the FE tradition. We are on deck 9 on the back of the ship.

Has anyone done the dolphin encounters? There are 2 listed, one at Atlantis (not with the aquadventure) and one that you take a boat to. Is one better than the other?

Can't wait to set sail!! any tips are welcome. Thank you!

-Katie

Please add my family to the FE for July 19th after reading about them, I can't wait to participate. We are from Texas and will be on Deck 5.

Mom--44
Dad--38
Son--8
Daughter--11

Welcome from another Texas family! & I think we're on deck 5 too!

I just filled out our on-line check in forms and discovered they are now accepting check in times. When did that start? The 10:30-11 slot is already full so I picked the 11-11:30am time slot. We love to arrive early and never had a scheduled time to arrive before. Does anyone know if and how they're enforcing that? It could get interesting since my sister isn't paid in full yet so I couldn't check her in with the rest of our group and we're all arriving in the same van.

All my in-laws will probably be traveling to Florida and the port together or we'll meet them for breakfast & then head over so, we'll just have to see how it all pans out. My MIL & FIL were able to select our boarding time. My SIL & BIL can't check in until May - Worst case, we'll ask to board together and be told "sorry" & then We'll just meet onboard...

I just added our information to the FE list so count us in! I think the kids will love this. Now to think of good gifts!

I'd love to join the FB group as well if possible. How do I do that?

Not sure what activities we may participate in yet, we've just started to focus in on this trip!

Hi Everyone!! We are going to be sailing on this cruise also. We have had this trip planned for the past year and are about to bust out with excitement. We would love to join your fish extender group! We are a family of 4 - Scott (50), my DW Sandra (49), DS Spencer (11) DS Stuart(8). I went ahead and added our names to your fish extender spreadsheet. Thanks so much for putting this together for all of us, I am really impressed with your organization.
Will talk again soon

Hi 5by5, we are on the same cruise! Not sure which activities we will be participating in either, but so nice to see another 13 yr old boy.

I have lost track of the count of kids on this meet thread..anyone know how many 13 yr olds?

A quick scan of the "who's cruising" on post #80 and came up with around 8 13 year olds. Not sure when the last update on it was done though. Could be more by now!

We are all getting excited DH (42) DS (8) and DS (6) I am seeing quite a few eight year olds and not so many 6 year olds. Still trying to think of a good gift for FE.

 

[JennyJ]

I have 2 6yo girls. And we are CRAZY excited!!!

 

[kgray18]

we have a 6 yr. old boy and a 5yr. old girl. super excited and working on my FE gifts...and my door decorations. My DH thinks I'm nuts.

 

[noahsmom]

It's getting so exciting! This morning I was reviewing our dinning plans for WDW and looking at our cruise plans also. Can't wait - only 51 more days.

Heidi - Don't worry about door decorations, I've got a few for you. Forgot to mention that to you...

 

[noahsmom]

Dustermom - could you add your names to the FE list?

Dustermom - could you add your names to the FE list?

Sorry - work is absolutely crazy busy and I just got back from a trip with 190 kids to Williamsburg VA, (that I planned), and I haven't been on in over a month. I tried to update the spreadsheet but I don't know if it worked. Please let me know if you can/can't see it.

I cannot wait for this cruise-I think I've really earned this vacation!

 

[noahsmom]

Thanks dustermom!

I was reading on the main board that you should close your FE group 1 to 2 months prior yo your cruise. Do we have a final list yet? I;m getting so excited. Just ordered stateroom gifts for my mom's birthday.

 

[lwilliam]

Here's the link to our FE list. Please go and add yourself to it, there is a spot for names (some people make personalized items). There is also a facebook group that's been created. Just post if you'd like to be invited to join that group too.

unfortunately i'm going to withdraw my name from FE list.....i DO want to meet with the group.....i love meeting new people...but it is too much gathering FE gifts. Don't give up on it - it is SO much fun...i've gotten so many neat gifts in recent cruises, especially from a family that lives in Africa! Our trip includes a whole week before the cruise, with friends, at WDW. If anyone is at BLT the week before the cruise and would like to meet for a few minutes, please, please let me know. Lucy
