ALUMISH - Welcome! I saw your comment on the FE, it is still open until the 10th! Glad you are joining us!

Hey! I found the perfect pockets to decorate for my FE but at their largest width it is 11.5". Is that too wide? I've heard the Magic has extra room under the fish than some of the other ships but wasn't sure. Any advice?

I'm having trouble finding a pocket decoration. Please help

I have not done FEs on the Magic yet, but I have done it on the Wonder. I just measured our FE and it is 8 inches wide. I remember having some room to spare, but I think 11.5" may be too wide. Maybe someone with experience on the Magic will have more specific information.

I just looked at a picture from the Dream and 11.5" would definitely be too wide for that ship.

Are you looking for the pockets or decorations to go on the pockets? I was trying to find the pockets because I'm gonna decorate with some felt materials. I've been looking on Amazon but not much luck. I found one thing at Ikea but it is always sold out...probably because of FE...lol. I also found some magnetic pockets that I thought about just placing on the door but afraid they'd get stolen...lol. Decisions, decisions!

Thank you so much....this is our first chance/opportunity with the FE and can't wait to share some "FROZEN" treats from Pittsburgh with our group #3!!! One problem for us though...we do not have room numbers to give out since we are a last minute GTY w/ our verandah rooms!!! Is that a problem? When will we know our room numbers??? Just an FYI....have an awesome weekend everyone!!! Jen Lumish

 

[houseofduck]

Jen,

There are others in the same position as you (even in the second FE group!). It shouldn't be a problem. You should get your room assignment at least a week or two before we cruise. Then, you can update the google doc with the information.

 

[jkatzz]

Hey guys in group 3, I will be updating the spreadsheet tonight to lock down that group.

Also for GTY, I will have a place on my door to note any changes to room numbers. Feel free to come to the meet and greet on day 1 to let everyone know your room number change. If not, by 5pm on sail day please post on my door 6015. And everyone should check my door first before they deliver for any that may have changed.

Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning Fishes! The final Fish extender group has been posted in the google doc below. Please check to make sure your information is correct. You have a individualized list on the second tab of your rooms.
For GTY individuals, please note, I have changed your GTY to GTY and a #. When you have your room number please update the sign up sheet and it will flow to the second page.
For my other Fishes, please note there has been a drop out for some of you, plus one room has added a person if you are able to include them that is great!
With this we currently are close on FE. If there is interest a 4th group of last minute individuals can be added.
See ya all soon!

Hi. I've got my room assignment. I looked at the spreadsheet and then couldn't see the groups as before. Are we all one group? This is the first time I've done this so didn't know if we get gifts for everyone on the list or just our group. Thank you!

 

[houseofduck]

If you look at the second tab ("Individual Groups"), you will see the rooms in your group. You have to scroll down to your room number (or GTY number, in your case). Then, you should see the other rooms in your group.

When you change your GTY number to your room assignment on the first tab (with everyone), it should get changed in the "Individual Groups" tab.

 

[jkatzz]

You are known at gty 8. If you change that on the main sheet it will adjust each of the individual rooms on the second sheet.

Hi!! I am just learning about the fe....sounds super fun!! Is it too late???? It is me, DH, DD9 & DD7

 

[jkatzz]

Hi We currently dont have any open groups. But I can start another group that will have a late cut off if you are interested. I wouldn't know how many people would be involved though untill about 1 week out. But I can start it if interested

 

[jkatzz]

Hi Fishes! So I am hearing there maybe interest in a late FE group. I will add the Bar to the sign up. HOW THIS GROUP WILL WORK: This group will work like a traditional FE, no sign up for # of rooms, you will be expected to exchange with all rooms in the list. Note, if you already are signed up for the other FE's that we have done, and you sign up for this group you only have to provide gifts for the rooms once if they are on both of your lists. Example: I am in Room 6015, and I have 6007 on my list. We both sign up for the late FE, I only need to do the gifts once for room 6007 not twice. CUTOFF DATE:10/31/2014

Hello!!

I'm squeezing in here at the last minute, just booked this morning!
I'm Rhiannon. Sailing solo for the first time, but this will be my 5th Disney cruise. Is there a first-day meet-up planned? I had a skim through the thread but didn't see anything confirmed.

Excited to sail with you all very soon!

 

[jkatzz]

Meet and Greet all set! Confirmed with Disney Magic. 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm in Fathoms! Looking forward to meeting you all!

 

[jkatzz]

Just checking to see if any more GTy's have been updated that are in the FE. Please let me know. Thanks! I will be posting maps and instructions on the 31st.

Hi,

This is my third Disney Cruise (first one with kids, went with family the other times) and I've never done a FE, so I am completely new to this.

I'd love to join the late group. What do I need to do and can you give any instruction on how the google doc works?

Thank you!
