March 30, 2014, Wonder 5-Night Western Caribbean

[Disney WorldTraveler]

Hi guys and welcome to the cruise.
Unfortunately, the FE signup closed on 1/31 and I know some cabins have finalized their gift plans and budgets. With that being said, we did have 1 cabin that dropped after the cutoff and there is the possibility you could take their place. I'll need the OK from the other cabins in the 2nd FEE group to make sure they are OK with this. Stay tuned.
The FE roster list is in a link in the very first post of this thread.

If the cabins is FEE 2 want to PM me to let me know if adding another cabin will be an issue, please do so or just reply in the thread.
Thanks
Jeff

I don't know how to PM so I will reply. I am in Group 2 and I don't mind the substitution. However, I do have a favor to ask. I don't get on these Boards that often and I believe there are others who are the same. If you do allow the change would you please post it on the FB page? I would appreciate it.

We just booked our trip so only about 45 days until we are cruising. We have been on two before (wonder and dream) but have not participated in the fish extender and what to this time. Few questions:

1) Anyone want to let me know how the FE works as far as signing up?

2) Does anyone have a daughter around the age of 9 that would like to hang out with a 9 year old from Ohio? Our daughter is so much happier when she meets a friend on the ship and they go explore on their own. She has two 7 year old twin brothers and a 4 year old sister so she is kind of on her own and does not like the clubs without a friend.

3) Is there a FB Page? I can't find mention of it.

FEE UPDATE

I've added Bill and Lisa to FEE Group 2. That brings us back to 11 cabins in each group as they will be replacing the cabin that dropped out. The spreadsheet is updated. I will cross post this to the FB page.

Wristbands came in today - see post 312 for how to collect them on embartion day.
They are for everyone!!

Hello everyone! My husband and I just booked a VGT for this cruise! We are super excited as we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary and this is our first cruise with no kids! We have never sailed on any of the classic ships so we are looking forward to exploring. Our previous experience is a three night on the Dream. I can't wait. I just wanted to say hello to everyone.

 

[FSU88]

Welcome to the cruise. We have another member of our group celebrating their anniversary too. Read back through some of the posts to get caught up. There is a FB page set up too.

See a few posts back by RHS TigerMom

3) The FB group is a closed group called "A WONDERful Spring Break". Just request to join and I'll add you.

45 days and counting!!

We have had a few in the FEE that asked for last names for everyone participating so they can incorporate it into their gifts. I believe I have them all correct on the sheet except for Princess Runner and her other cabin.

Elcka - if you don't mind, let me know your last names and I will add them to the spreadsheet.
Thanks
Jeff

Hey there! Our last name is Rangel Thank you for taking the time to do this extra special. Xoxo

I'm up for a meet. I suggested it in post 290 but no one responded. I will have wristbands for everyone on here or on the facebook page. I was just going to get them for our FEE, but there was a special where I got 200 free. I should have plenty for anyone that wants one. It's a Green, glow in the dark band with the cruise date and the facebook title page on it. I suggested meeting quickly on embarkation day to pass them out and just for a quick hello. A more relaxed meet was suggested for the 2nd day, near lunch. I will let someone else organize the 2nd day meet, but I will be at the Promenade lounge on deck 3 on embarkation day to give the bands to all. It's midship and indoor and will hopefully not be too crazy busy. I will be there from 2:45 or so up until Muster drill. I'm 6'6", so look for the tall guy wearing an orange Castaway Cay Visor.

Also - if anyone is interested in decorating their cabin door, check out these cool magnets. We made a pirate and a Captain Mickey. I plan for a few new ones this cruise.

Hi Everyone, Just curious if anyone has a child who would like to be a pen pal with my DS. Perhaps they could PM each other through our accounts. DS will be 12 next month so if your child is around his age (boy or girl) and would like to "talk" pre-cruise, just PM me and we can get things started. I also have a DD who will be 9 this month, but I don't think she is interested in having a pen pal (at least not today). I am not on the Facebook page so I apologize if this was already discussed.

I have a DD who is 8. She won't be cruising with us this time, but she would probably love a pen pal if your DD decides she wants one. Just let me know and we can exchange information. : )

Hi mrslaney, Thanks for your reply. I am going to send you a PM about setting something up.

Hi Everyone,
My DS11 is having a nice time being a pen pal to another DS on this board. If anyone else has a child around that age (boy or girl) who would like to join, please send me a PM.

Also, my DD is now interested in penpals as well. She would prefer girls for her penpals. She will be 9 next week. If you have a DD around her age who would be interested, please PM me. (this would be done in a safe manner, such as PMs through our DIS accounts)

Have a great weekend!

 

[rentayenta]

Suzi, PM sent.

I went and combined all the info I could find from here and on the Facebook page and made a new cruise roster. Anyone with the link should be able to edit. Feel free to add or change info. I know many are looking for others with the same age kids, hopefully this document will help out. For me it was something I wanted for our meet on embarkation.

Thanks for doing this.
And thanks for including us--even though we are not participating in the fish extenders--we still wanted to be part of the DIS meet on embarkation.

I put the link in the OP, replacing the original roster. I added columns to list where cruisers are from and what they're celebrating.

 

[dis ms.]

I put together a kids roster to help the younger cruisers connect with those in their age range. It includes everyone under 18 according to the cruise roster, excluding those whose names weren't listed. (Link is below and in the OP)

If your child isn't on the roster, and you'd like them to be, feel free to edit the spreadsheet, or post their name(s) and age(s) here so I can add them. And please correct any errors you may find.

My hubby and I have cabana #19 (Serenity Bay) booked for our Castaway day. Since there are only two of us, we thought it might be nice to offer to share it and split the costs if there is another couple who is interested. I know how they can be highly sought after so we just thought we would be friendly and put it out there. If you are interested, just pm me. : )

Thank you! This is a great idea. It'd be fun if some of them could *meet* before the cruise via email or Facebook or whatever.
