An FE is a Fish Extender. Families hang their FE off their fish (your room number). Your FE will have pockets to collect goodies from other families who have signed up to participate. During the cruise, your family will distribute treats at least one time. The ideas are endless. The following link will probably explain it a lot better and it also has pictures of FE's as well as treats!

Hope this helps! Let me know if you want to sign up!

I get it now! Thank you! It's just me, so I think I'll pass. I am looking forward to seeing how everyone decorates, though!

We aked at the Front Desk/Guest Services and they hooked us up!

Cool! So you just told them you needed an in-room sitter and they gave you a name? Did it take a lot of explaining? DCL keeps saying everywhere that they do not offer in-room sitting, so it never even occured to me to ask.

This is great news though! I'll have to make sure that final payment gets in early so we can try for a Palo brunch!!

Please remember this was back in 1999, so things could have changed, I hope not but you never know.

It is very quiet but hoping with reservation booking opening up soon, we will see more "action"!

We have only 7 more days and we will be able to start making our reservations for the first leg of our trip.

What is everyone looking most forward to on the cruise?

I am most excited for the AquaDuck and Palo of course!!!!

It's all new to me, so I'm excited about everything! Looking forward to exploring the ship, seeing the shows, meeting new people! Can't wait to see the AquaDuck and Remy!
Is anyone planning on scoring reservations to Remy?

Everything! The AquaDuck probably tops our list. The children are really looking forward to the Oceanear's Lab and Club. One of them is totally into 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and was really happy to see a rendition of it in one of the pictures. Our older daughter LOVES Tink and the Fairies, so the forest area is right up her alley, and the three year old is the world's biggest Toy Story fan and just can't wait to get into Andy's room. The baby, well....we're keeping our fingers crossed she'll like the nursery for an hour a day or so.

Getting excited! In some ways, I think the cruise is really close, but in others, I think of all the things that happen between now and the cruise....Halloween, Christmas, two birthdays in January....and it seems like its really far away. I know its going to creep up on us though, and then BAM! it will be less than two weeks away!!

I'm going to start planning and gathering stuff for the FE gifts, and probably start working on those now, otherwise, I'll be trying to finish them the night before we leave for WDW before the cruise! I'm also going to make our traditional CM Treat Bags now. Getting some of the little stuff done helps get me more excited and thinking vacation! Plus, with all the activities coming up during the holidays, I'll run out of time.

We'll try for a Palo brunch, but will pass on Remy this time.

I'm also excited for the restaurants....especially the one that changes from day to evening during the meal. What the heck is it called?? Enchanted something?? Off to DCL to find out.

A few minutes later....Enchanted Garden! Looks really cool!

Not sure about Remy, I read on the boards there is $75 charge per person, can anyone verify this? We do LOVE Palo and for $10 - $20 per person, it is extremely worth it!

I also read on the boards that there will now be three show times (5, 7 or 9) and then two dinner times (Main at 5 Late at 9). It's nice that you can have two options for show times depending on which dining you have.

On our two previous cruises, we went with late dining by choice. This time, they defaulted us to main dining. I think we'll end up changing though once on board. We'll see.

I like that there might be three shows....if we keep early dining, I'd love to do the show at 7, keeping the nights open for adult time while the children play!

My husband really likes the late dining, but I'm not sure, I think I would like to try the main.

Enchanted Garden does sound like it will be fun! They had me at 'gardens of Versailles'.
My niece has been trying to talk me into trying Palo, but I'm just staying with the normal rotation because I want to try those 3 restaurants before I move into the 'sedate adult' realm. Won't even try for Remy for that reason, plus I know that many Castaway Club folks will probably be lining up for it.

I also recall seeing prices for Remy that raised my eyebrows... I wonder if I can at least take a stroll by during the day to see what the restaurant looks like? I like the Paris bistro idea.

My TA requested the main seating for me, not sure if I'll get it.

I'm sorry that I fall behind on these posts, for some reason I'm not getting notifications that there have been responses to the thread.

Hi Everyone

We'll be on the 2/10 Dream Cruise -- YYEEEAAAHHHH

Our info is below and would love to join the FE group. We cruised the Magic on May of 2009. We are so looking forward to seeing the Dream. We had a great time with the FE on our cruise. This is a surprise for our kids (we're planning on telling them for Christmas) -- SSShhhh. We'll be celebrating our birthdays (mine on the 11 and my dd on the 13) during our cruise. We live close enough to Disney to go whenever our schedule allows.

Can't wait for the fun to begin. I have to start planning. Our first cruise we booked nearly a year out and planned out everything. I feel like behind the eight ball already with this one. My husband and I want to do Palo this time. We didn't have a chance last time to do this and it was already booked when we boarded.

So excited to cruise in Feb on the new Dream!

Welcome

What a great surprise for the kids! And most importantly, how nice to live so close to the World!!

I have your information in the FE sheet, so glad your joining the group!

Did everyone get their dinner and show times?

We have Main Dining at 6:00 with the 5:00 show for the first leg of the cruise and are wait listed for the same on this cruise. I'm not to keen on the idea of having the show before dinner at 5:00, that seems so early, but then again, we will have the whole night open for the smaller shows etc.

We hit double digits on our trip countdown!!!! 99 days and we begin our 2 week trip....soooo excited!

We have the same as you. We've always had late, but this time we'll try early. I'm excited to have the evenings open for us time! Before, with late dining, it just seemed like the whole evening was gone because we won't even out of dinner until 9:45ish.

Yay!! Double digits!!!

Welcome!!! Great to have you a part of our group!

The kids are going to be so excited! We suprised ours at Christmas 2009 too with our Feb 2010 cruise. They were so happy! A very cool lady on the cruise graphics board make up a Mickey Santa cruise graphic, and personalized it with each of the kids names. We put it in an envelope, and had them open it on Christmas afternoon. I didn't want to lose the excitement over Santa's gifts by giving it to them in the morning, so we just waited. It was very, very cool!

We have our Palo dinner reservation made, sooooo excited! Now on the Thursday we can make our Palo reservations for our second leg of the trip.
