Did you find anything about the taxi? I'm flying into FLL so am taking a shuttle from there. The nice thing with Disney transfers they'll take care of the luggage.

Thank you but no. I can't decide. I probably will go with the shuttle so the boys have the experience!

Welcome! I would gladly share our cabana with you but it is on Serenity Bay. Keep checking and maybe one on the family beach will open up last minute. : ) I have a four year old daughter as well, but she will be at home for this cruise. You guys are going to have a great time!

Thanks Mrslaney! A cruise without a 4 year old, now that sounds like a Fantasy & a Dream

Thanks for the warm welcome Pam, we've heard the same thing about DCL so I'm afraid we're going to be spoiled for all other cruises after this.

The one thing I'm really bummed about is being too late to do a FEE. I should have done my homework earlier to figure out what that is. I was thinking of getting some little gifts anyway & just randomly & anonymously putting them in people's FE. Would that be okay, or is it against FEE rules?

Hi Jenny
Welcome aboard. There is certainly nothing stopping you from putting trinkets in anyone's FEs. It's always cool to get a mysterious gift. The FE roster along with the entire cruise roster from folks here and on the FB page are posted in the OP (opening post) Just go to the first page. There will also be an informal cruise meet on embarkation day. See post 312 and 323 for info. I have wristbands for the first 300.
Less than 4 weeks now!!

Is it too late to join Fish Extender? My DS will be so sad if so. Please let me know. We are new to this and had no idea until recently about the FE.

How do we sign up. I tried and could not add our names, etc...

Thanks!

 

[curlicue]

After reading through the posts it looks like we have a few late-comers to the FE groupings since they have been closed.

I would be willing to participate in a FE group even if it is just a few cabins.

Anyone up for that?

 

[curlicue]

We have people who are interested in a Late-Comers FE per facebook. Can we add another group?

There is a 3rd FE group being formed by all the newer cabins that have joined the cruise. There is also a post on the FB page about it. I need all the pertinent info sent to me ASAP so I can update the list. Looks like we need to close that soon so anyone joining that group can get all their goodies together. Let's say Monday, March 10. Look at the roster in the OP to get an idea of the info I need.
Thanks
Jeff

This has been posted on Facebook as well:

Ladies, we are trying to set up a private mixology class. The fee is $15pp. We need a minimum of 25 participants. DCL needs everyone's names and reservation numbers to book the class. We currently have 22 ladies who've expressed interest, so just 3 more and we are good to go.

Here's the list of participants so far. I've included a stateroom number column as an FYI. Please add yours. If anyone is uncomfortable listing your reservation number, you can inbox it to me and I'll add it in the email to DCL.

To all FE participants. Please look over the document to make sure your info is correct. I found that the cabin for SCJenn in FE1 was transposed. I corrected it, but I want to make sure there are no other errors.
Thanks
Jeff

We are first time Disney Cruisers too and are just figuring out the FE fun. I see the newest small group of FE participants. Can we still join? I'm not able to edit the Google spreadsheet except to add comments.

Welcome to the cruise. Unfortunately, the FE has closed. We had a flurry of late activity, and a 3rd group was started but that too closed this last weekend. There are other fun things we plan on doing. There will be a meet on embarkation day at 2:45 in the Promenade lounge on deck 3. I will be handing out wristbands to the first 300 that show up. There is also a Facebook page, where the ladies are setting up a private mixology class and I see they are trying to get some to run the Castaway Cay 5K. Try this link
https://www.facebook.com/groups/553370164725305/
It's a closed group and I'm not into FB, so I do not know how to invite anyone, but I'm sure someone else can help. There is more activity on the FB page than on here.

Cheers
Jeff

Some were asking for a printable version of the Wonder Deck Plans to fin the staterooms for FEE. Here is a link. You can put up to 5 on a PDF. I did 3 per page. Decks 1, 2, and 5. Decks 6, 7, and 8. Those are the decks with our members on them! Enjoy!

Welcome!

Sorry you missed out on the FE exchange. But as Jeff mentioned, we have a few fun meet-ups planned. Several of us ladies are doing a girls' private mixology class on March 31 (sea day). We are still firming up the time, but it will be in the afternoon. The fee is $15pp. If you're interested in joining us, visit this link to sign up. If you're uncomfortable listing your reservation number, you can inbox it to me.

This is a call out to PrincessRunner (Elcka)
It seems you left a PM for another member of the FE telling of cabin changes, but you did not let me know. I really need to know the status of the 2 cabins we have you down for. I sent you a PM also, but I know the PM notification can get lost.

To all FE participants
I've not changed the FE yet, and I will note the change when I do, but look for new cabin numbers for both her and her family's cabin. They may be right next to each other now.

Sorry for the confusion so late in the process.
Jeff

I still have not personally heard from PrincessRunner but I went ahead and changed the FE info based on what was forwarded to me. It seems they have changed cabins. The older son that was traveling with them cannot make is, so I removed his name. I also have a last name for their family traveling with them. I apologize is anyone has made a personalized gift that this affects, but she never let me know this info directly. I highlighted the changed info in orange/

Also - I have moved the cabins in FE3, with a cabin number, into numerical order now. Once the last few cabins get assigned, I will add them in and move them up.

Just a note on a useful item we brought on the last cruise. We bought a magnetic small whiteboard, that came with markers with small magnets on them, and put that on our cabin door. That way if anyone wanted to leave a message for us, they could write it on the whiteboard.

2 weeks and counting!!
