Fantasy Western Caribbean Jan 7th 2017

[Gaga3]

Although my husband and I are seasoned cruise guests, this is our first Disney, too. The most important thing that I found to be different is the Fish Extender program. If you look for information on the web you can find out all about the program. I think your girls would be interested in that. It sounds like so much fun for the kids! Just look at previous postings for information as to how to join in.

My fiancee and I will be on board (first time cruise for us!) for our delayed honeymoon after getting married October 29th. We are huge Disney and Star Wars fans, and couldn't think of anything that could be more fitting. We've done DL 12x and WDW 2x, and I ran the Star Wars Marathon Rebel Challenge in January. I look forward to meeting some of you great people.

Here is the information for Fish Extenders on our January 7th Disney Fantasy! Welcome!

If you would like to join this FE group, then simply register your interest by replying to this thread. You can include the information requested in your reply to this thread (keep in mind this will be public).

How will the FE list work?
As each family signs up to the thread, their details will be entered into a spreadsheet. A finalised version of the spreadsheet will be released once we reach the cut-off/confirmation date (see below for explanations). We will attempt to keep all participants on one list. However, sometimes, there are just so many cruisers wanting to partake in this magical experience that participants may be divided between two or more lists. In the event of needing two or more lists, we will try to distribute participating cabins and people as evenly as possible.

FE Registration Cut-Off Date
All families must register their interest to join the FE group, by posting a reply with the above mentioned details, by November 25, 2016. This is to allow people ample time to make/purchase their FE gifts, and ensure they can deliver to all those registered on the list.

FE Participation Re-Confirmation Date
ALL registered families must CONFIRM their participation by December 1, 2016. This is so the FE list(s) can be finalized. Of course, your situation regarding cruising may change at the last minute and that cannot be helped, but re-confirmation just ensures no one has changed their minds or cancelled their sailing and forgot to say so.

Latecomers/Non-Confirmation
The Latecomers list is for those who have booked their cruise at the last minute, missed our FE group cut-off date, but still want to participate in FEs. Anyone who does not confirm in time will also be moved to this list. Participants on this list will provide FE gifts for each other, and are welcome to supply FE gifts for other cruisers, but should not expect to receive anything in return. Regular list participants are free to deliver FE gifts to those on this list, but are not obliged to.

FE Gifts
Please remember that this is not a competition to produce the biggest or most expensive gift; it is about sharing the Disney magic. You can do gifts for every individual or each family on your list, the choice is yours. Some people like to personalise gifts, so you may find additional information is requested as we get closer to the cruise – for example: first names, favourite Disney characters, etc.

However, please be mindful that not all cruisers are from the USA. This means your fellow cruisers may have to consider customs, quarantine and luggage allowance regulations on their return journeys home. Also, for overseas cruisers, please make sure that the gifts you are bringing are acceptable imports to the USA; we wouldn’t want you to have them seized at immigration/quarantine/customs!

Delivering Your FE Gifts
It is great not to have a specific time to deliver FE gifts, as it means they start to trickle in all day, every day, as the cruise progresses! However, you should attempt to deliver your FE gifts by 5pm on the last full day, so that families have time to remove their FE, pack, and have luggage ready to go for the disembarkation luggage service.

Hey guys! I just got back from the $1 store where I found wonderful Friend and Family, 5x7 picture frames to decorate our stateroom doors. Just thought that I would pass this on for those crazy people (yes, me!!) to help with cabin door decoration.

[unimog]

We will be on this cruise with you next year - Family of 4 plus Grampa and Grandma. Me and my 9YO daughter have been on a Disney cruise before and done the fish extender thing before. We will probably do it again once I talk to my wife about it and figure out the lay of the land. Do most people here join the Facebook group and this one or just do one or the other? Look forward to cruising with you all!

Disney Fantasy Cruise - January 7-14, 2017.

Hi everyone. We just booked for the Jan 7-14 cruise. So excited. I requested to join your FB group but have not been accepted. Hoping someone could email me if possible at mkbbb5@comcast.net. Thanks!!!

 

[CLBACH]

This is our first cruise as well! We are going to be at Animal Kingdom Lodge for 2 nights before the cruise. My soon to be 12 yr old is helping to plan our trip. She's really excited and told me to look into the FE. We're a family of 3 from Wisconsin

 

[EvangiiLambchop]

Hi guys! I just wanted to see what I did was actually joining the FE group or not. I just wrote out the info (name, favorite character, room number, etc.) on a previous post. I'm not sure if that's actually joining the group. I also tried looking for the group on Facebook and I couldn't find it... If anyone has more info on that, that'll be great!

We would like to join the fish extender group. This is our first family Disney Cruise. We have 2 sons. Our son Will is 25. He has had brain cancer several times.

He is a big Ohio State fan and loves Disney. His favorite character(s) CHIP and DALE. He is developmentally 8-10 years old.

[Gaga3]

I am with you regarding being a bit confused by this. I, too, just placed my information on this discussion group hoping that it will sign my grandchildren up for the FE program. Does anyone know if there is anything additional that I must do to be included other than a confirmation after November 25th? I do not have a FB account due to work related reasons but want to keep abreast of all that is offered on the cruise. Any bit of assistance with this would be most appreciated.

 

[edingeal]

I believe, if someone has accepted the responsibility of being in charge fish extenders, there will be a spreadsheet created with all of the information everyone has provided. I'd like to sign up our family too, but I think I'll wait to see if a spreadsheet is created first
