Jammin' to Jamaica - Aug 30 2014 ~ Fantasy ~ 7-Night Western

Wow!!

 

[sweetlovin']

We are doing the FE.

That is very interesting

If others want to close off list #1 - I don't see what the issue is. We're at 24 or 25 cabins. I honestly wouldn't want to visit much more than that as this is a cruise for relaxation not spending hours visitings everyone. I also don't want that huge of an excess expense.

I don't care about the name but I won't be purchasing a shirt.

Sweetlovin - you are doing the FE just fine I just haven't picked out gifts as I've been really busy as well (3 Disney World trips this past fall, a work trip to Canada, we're going at the end of this month for my husband's birthday, and we have 3 WDW trips & San Diego) I have an idea on gifts because of doing something special from Naples but I'll wait until after Season is over so things are less expensive again.

FE List Status

I have the FE spreadsheet up-to-date. Those who've joined the FE need to provide your missing info ASAP. Currently I have DISname, most individuals names and ages, most cabin numbers, some family names. No favorite characters.

Please check out the first post and you can see what I currently have for you. If you don't want you cabin # publiclly listed please send it to me in a PM and I will add it to the spreadsheet. (A few of you have already done this, thank you)

Email addresses - I will have the spreadsheet available in excel and PDF format. Please post or PM me your email address.

Thank You,

Lise

Everything you said. If a second (or third or fourth) group wasn't made, I would probably have to back out of FE.

I'm confused about who is keeping the FE list....I sent a pm to LiseG to update my info. Is that right?

Hi All!

As we are finalizing the first FE list, I got to thinking we never officially named our cruise. Some folks like to include the DIS cruise name, ship name, year, dates and/or ports of call on FE gifts, door magnets and other momentos.

Here are some names that have been "floated" so far:

[*]Jamaican Junket
[*]Cool Runnings
[*]Jamin' to Jamaica
[*]Floatin' the Fantasy to Jamaica
[*]Jamacian Fantasy
[*]Dis is our Jamaican Fantasy
[*]It's A Disney Fantasy...Maaan!
[*]Jamaican Me Happy
[*]Dis is Jamaican Me Happy
[*]Laborin' our way to Jamaica

Or maybe you have some even better ideas

Let's share them, then we can vote

Wow so good, I love all of them. Ill ask my family

That is correct.

I saw all of your trip planned and was so excited for you!! VGF twice is awesome

Its why I love my DVC even with being a 'local' and doing more shorter weekend trips rather than long ones. We have 283 points but it doesn't feel like its enough. We will be buying more points once the Polynesian begins sale (we got married there) but there was no way I was going to pass on buying in at VGF as thats the hotel my annual trips were growing up plus the place we had our wedding dinner. Next year is going to be busy for us even without considering work travels. 4 Nights at AKV in Feb, 3 Nights at VGF in early May, San Diego in middle May, 2 nights at BWV last weekend in May, this cruise, 5 nights at AKV in early October, 3 Nights back at VGF in late October.

We've decided we are going to do a cruise in Feb 2015 as well but I need to get through this spring before I even start to figure that out. We will probably book while on this cruise to get the on board credit and booking discount as we aren't really set on which boat we go on as by that point, we've visited everywhere they are going on any of the 4 boats.

I went back and forth on buying in for a long time. I would have loved a Disney Wedding How romantic

I think 2015 I am doing the Panama Canal, Med Cruise or if they come out with the Baltic I'll book that. I'll book as soon as it comes out because Thanksgiving 2015 I would like to go to the Amazon, Ecuador, Peru, and Galapagos Islands. I haven't gotten there yet and my baby (ok she is 9, but she is my baby) loves animals. I swear she will grow up to be a vet. So the Galapagos Islands would be one of her favorite trips.

I want to do the Eastern Jan 11 2014, but not VGT rates thus far. They changed the ports for Eastern Caribbean later 2014 so I want to do the ports they have now.

This is a great group of people, and it's growing all the time. Are you first time Disney cruisers? Celebrating any birthdays or anniversaries?

If you have kids joining you, there is a KIDS ONLY thread where they can meet and talk to the other kids on our cruise.

As Bernadette (Sweetlovin') said, for the FE just let us know your info: Cabin #, names for adults, names and ages for the kids.

We can't wait to meet you

 

[LiseG]

We doing the FE

Hi John,

Yes, I have you on the FE list. You were #17 to sign up, so you're good. I have you and DD14 Leeann listed. Will other family be joining you on this cruise? I still need your cabin number, if you have it.

I've added that you'll be celebrating your Birthday.

You're right the holidays have been crazy. Can't wait to see the t-shirt design.

We used to live in SoCal. We would go to DL from time to time, but that was before we had Sabrina in our life. We were married 9-3-94 and included a day at DL as part of our Labor Day 3-Day weekend wedding celebration. A few year later we moved to Oregon with me commuting to a project in FL for about 6 months. That really kicked in the Disney-gene. It would be awesome to be a local... especially in FL. But I do love Oregon. No humidity and really green
