Hey there all FE participants. End of sign up will be Saturday (5/10) at 6PM. I will be on a flight and will be breaking up the group into groups of about 10 rooms (we currently have 21 rooms signed up). If you would like to be in multiple groups, please indicate that on the signup sheet. If you are undecided no worries there will be another date for another group. This will allow the early birds who have signed up the chance to get started. I will be confirming your information for those of you who have signed up to make sure it is correct! Thanks so much!

Welcome. You can add yourself to the FE list https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vNeK-1hIp-TQCLhZpe764s96AzfWqJbp3hEyHIZKTY8/edit?usp=sharing

I think we are doing groups of 10 or so cabins and you can participate in 1 or more groups.

I am working with the list as of 5/10 for my FE cabins, but I am sure many more will be joining and many will want to be in all lists.

Just booked our cruise. We would like to join FE if that's ok. Saw the link for the spreadsheet and tried to add our info. Let me know if it's too late. This is our second Disney Cruise. Did the same itinerary 3 years ago on the Magic and loved it, so excited to do it again

Not too late, I will begin on breaking up the group today based on # of groups preferences. Welcome to the cruise!

Good morning happy cruisers! Just FYI, I will be beginning to break up the Fish extenders groups today. I will be contacting each of you individually, and add a new section to the signup sheet for Round 2 for any others who join after this point!

We are booked on this cruise as well. Can't wait! Cruising with my DH, DS, DD and mother in law, as well as some close friends. We did the same itinerary at the same time last year but we were on the Fantasy. This will be our 4th cruise. I'm looking forward to being back on the smaller ship.

It has been a while since I have been on the boards. Super busy. I am so excited to cruise with all of you. This will be our first time on the magic. I have been trying to read some trip reports to get ready. I have no idea what excurrsions to do. I would really like to just tour the island. Is anyone considering doing a tour on their own?? I normally only trust Disney tours but I am not really liking what is offered

Hey Everyone, Sorry I didn't post here. The spreadsheet has been completed and the FE groups have been divided out. Please let me know if you see any issues.

Also as a note to those who are new, you are still able to sign up for the FE, that will be group #2 and the deadline will be much closer to the sail date.

I have already joined the FE group, but don't know if I signed up for the meet. It will be the first one for us..... do we need to do anything ?
Just me, turning 65 on the ship and DH who is 71.
Kids at heart.

What dinner is everyone doing and why?is it better to do the early one cause I live in Cali and the time difference?its just me and my four year old

 

[wfgamble]

We like late seating. We feel less rushed to get showered and ready for the show and dinner. It works for us

 

[wajones2]

We have done both late (with almost 2 yo) and early (with 3 yo). It worked out well both cruises. The late seating was on a 5 night and they had open house during early seating each night so we had club all to ourselves. This was nice because DD was too young for clubs alone. The early seating was an 8 night. DD loved having other kids nearby her age. There were very few kids at the late seating.

We have picked early seating for this cruise, but it will be a rush the day we r in St. Marteen to make it back, but we are also concierge this cruise and able to order MDR meals for delivery to cabin.

 

[wajones2]

Tomorrow we are officially 5 days away from 120 day mark & booking port adventures. DD is 4 and I honestly haven't seen any that have me too excited another than on Castaway.

We have done the late seating and have had pretty good luck with it. Our first cruise was a bit of a challenge when our youngest daughter was 7 months. Dinner pretty tough for her with it being that late. We ended up booking babysitting during for her for the rest of the cruise. The last two when she was 19 and 31 months, she was pretty good for the late seating.
