If anyone has the document that lists the information for FE group one could you post a link so I can see If we are on that list and start preparing. I have seen the comprehensive list for all FE participants and the list for group number 2 but cannot seem to find the list for group one.

Hi Everyone!

We booked last April and I'm just getting around to planning and looking into flights now. I'm traveling with my DD (3 yrs), DS (5 yrs), my sister's family (they have a 2 yr old DD) and my parents. We would love to participate in the FE. I am going to read through the rest of this thread when I get a chance but just wanted to say hello and how excited we are to be sailing on the Fantasy.
This isn't our first cruise but our first Disney one!

Hey Everyone!

Joining the meet thread! My family is booked on our third Disney cruise to celebrate my twin sisters' graduation from college.

Can't believe the number of disers on this cruise. Our group includes me (23), my twin sisters (21), their boyfriends (22 and 23), my youngest sister (20), and my parents. Can't wait! Only 4 1/2 months to go!

 

[dencord7]

wanted to stop by and share that I have been very busy.

I booked air fare for the 11 in my group.
I am trying to book a 4 bed at Bonnet Creek for my group for 5 days. Right now we have 2 two bedrooms but hoping they can move us to a 4 bed we need to wait and see.

I reserved a rental van, it only hold 7 so two trips from airport to Bonnet Creek and from Bonnet creek to the port. We are dropping van off at the port so not to bad I got it for the five days for $295.43 using offer code/number BCD X474200.

I wanted to do the Yes program but individual enrollment is not offered for my dates. Only way is you are a church group or youth group leader.
Since the older kids in my group want to go to US I may be taken the two
little er to Disney World my self.

I will now start looking at things to do on the Islands we stop at during the cruise. I will be checking out zip lining and the beaches, shoping and Bernard s tours .
Can anyone offer up some suggestions as places to go or things to do.

 

[4boons]

I've got some good news and some bad news.

The bad news is that we will not be going on the Fantasy with y'all in 2012.
The good news is we will be on the Magic in 2013.

This is a great group and we will miss not getting to cruise with you.

Congrats on your Magic 2013 cruise, but we will miss you, especially since y'all are fellow Texans!

Hope you have fun!

Brenda,

We have our tickets booked for our trip to Orlando, but haven't booked the return flight yet. Perhaps we'll get stuck there.

With respect to your rental car, the price seems a bit high. We were in Orlando for 10 nights last year and were able to rent a minivan for about $280. About this far out, the price was over $500. At about two months out, the price dropped to about $350 and about a month out it dropped to under $300 including all taxes and fees.

Just keep watching and the prices should go down. I monitored the Transportation Board for the best codes and tips. I need to start this process as we plan to do two one-way rentals.

Good luck with Bonnet Creek. We are staying at the Port the night before, but are staying a couple of extra nights after the cruise at the Beach Club Villas. The kids can't wait to do Star Wars Weekends again.

We are starting to look at excursions too. We plan to do a Catamaran with snorkeling. We also want to visit the French side of St. Maarten. I loved ziplining at PV on our PC cruise, but June will never do that again!

Only 21 more days until we can book excursions and check-in!

Why two groups again? We had about 125 people in the FE gruop on our cruise.

Where in Missouri are you? I grew up in the middle of MO.

For our family (KSDisneyDad and Junesgoofy) you can also add my parents to the first page.

Sorry you're missing out on the Fantasy, but I envy your trip to Europe. We considered doing the Med in 2013, but I think we're going to wait until 2014 and do it as a graduation present for our oldest. We'd also like to make a trip to Paris and DLP.

Hello June I would love to meet your in-laws and also introduce my MIL Hope to your parents in case she and them want to do some grown folks stuff.

June I would love to have my Grandsons Marco 12 and Dominic 10 meet your boys before the cruise. Maybe over a weekend we could meet at the Thornton indoor pool.

Thanks Christoper I will keep watching car rentals to see if I can get a better deal. My hope would be to get two cars so we don't have to make double trips.

We booked our Air through Air Tran maybe you could take a look for your return flight. I got group travel for $341.20 per person I know it is running $311.00 right now round trip but I have already booked.

 

[madisonann2002]

They started a second fe group bc they had already 21 rooms in the 1st group and they thought that was enough so since im n the 2nd group i thought I would help out! We stay in St. Louis!!

Getting together would be a lot of fun. I'll PM you with my phone number.

Hi! Was hoping my mom (Jean, 80) and her friend could be added to FE group #1 with us pls since I will be in charge of all gifts?!

Also, does anyone know how the FE groups are working? Are we giving gifts to all on the list on a specified nite, all nites, one gift/ cabin or does it matter? Any info would be really helpful since we are getting close to our date!

Are we having a DIS meet too? So excited for thus cruise!!!
