ALL FISH EXTENDER PARTICIPANTS:
Please double check the main list on page one. I reordered the last two groups to be in order by floor to hopefully make things easier. Please check that I have your cabin number, family details and any allergies correct on the list as well. I know we have some families who signed up for FE some time ago and havent been back posting and I just want to make sure everything is still correct. Could you all take a moment to look and then come back and either post all is good in the thread or simply like this post so I know you have seen things and are good with it all? Thanks much!

A few details... if for some reason DCL changes your cabin number or you upgrade at port, please let other group members know ASAP by either leaving messages on cabin phones or by dropping a note in their fish extenders. I will also print a list of the groups and post it on my door in case someone forgets or if someone has a change they can update the list on our door (7514).

I'm still in and finishing the FE GIFTS THIS WEEKEND!

Decided to not do a planned excursion for Tortola but I would like to make sure we spend some time on the island. Anyone been there before? Is there much within walking distance? Is it easy to take a taxi to some local places? Beaches, rum factories, etc? Any advice? Might still do one of the short beach trips.

Go over to "Cruise Critic" and check out the shore excursion forum, and look for Tortola. It's always a good source for specific shore excursion info.

We are just gonna do our own thing as well getting off the ship and just walking around. Tortola has a new pier park, not totally completed from what I've read but it dies have shops and restaurants right there walking distance from where the ship docks.

Here are the list of movies that are listed for the Disney Fantasy... subject to change, but I would say the most recent movies (from Zootopia on) have the best bet of being in rotation while we are on the ship:
Inside Out
Good Dinosaur
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Zootopia
Jungle Book (Live Action)
Captain America: Civil War
Alice Through the Looking Glass
Finding Dory
BFG

Also, Captain Tom Forberg is scheduled to be our Captain on this cruise. This is cool, because he was the first Disney Captain to sail all four Disney cruise ships, and he is the first "Commodore" of Disney Cruise Line. I know I'll be standing in line during one of the Captain Signings to get our Minnie statue autographed by him! And Pirate Night is scheduled to be on our Tortola day, so don't forget to bring your pirate gear!

Can't wait - only 1.5 days of work left to go!!

LOVE the Pina Colava drink... This is my target... No laundry, no dishes, no housecleaning, no work... Just me, a good book, a warm breeze and one of those tasty frosty adult beverages!!

SDrunner and crew still in for the fish extenders. My daughter is so excited, she has been planning for months!!

 

[CruisingEve]

Thank you for organizing FE groups!!!

 

[CruisingEve]

Our Pixie dust info is correct!

We land in Orlando Friday at 2pm. Any recommendations on where to stay? Not really enough time to do much but also dont want to stay at airport. Maybe someplace with a fun pool? Yacht club? Or maybe near Disney Springs? Havent arranged transportation yet since not sure where we are staying.

Hi,new disney springs is cool, but it's mainly stores, however they have small train for the kids and lego store, where kids can build race cars. Any Disney hotel has pool and most of them have slides in the pool. p.s. we have a DS6 too, hope they can meet and make friends on the boat

What a hectic week! I took my 15yr old son to a Flight of the Conchords show last night for his birthday, it was awesome! Today is hubby's last day at work. I haven't packed anything except for my FE stuff which fits it's own case lol!
My fish extender is hanging up, I must NOT forget to pack it! That would be typical me! In fact I'm going to grab it right now.....
