[mom+3girls]

Hello! This will be our first cruise and first Disney cruise! It will be my sister(29) and I(25) who come from Japan.

I'd like to know what should I do before our FE. I'm choosing the presents but I don't know well how does it work.

Welcome aboard!

Hi! We are excited to be onboard as our first ever cruise and family vacation! Our boys (13 & 9) would love to meet some new friends to hang with!

Welcome Aboard!

We are booked and so excited!! We will be at Disney World for a few days before for our younger daughters all star cheer competition and then will head to the cruise for some fun It will be my husband and I and our two daughters one who will be 18 and the other who will be 13. I will be celebrating my 40th on Castaway Cay and I am praying I will be able to snag a cabana. This will be cruise number 5 but I do realize it is still a very slim chance. We are going on our 4th Disney cruise in January and we could not get a cabana...I look everyday and will continue to (ok several times a day) I won't give up. Look forward to sailing with all of you.

We just moved to this cruise from the April 25th one. We were going to cruise before our daughter's D2 Summit all star cheer competition in Tampa, but coach says she is having practice that week so we moved it to after the competition. Our daughter is 11 so maybe she will meet your 13 year old.

We just moved our reservation to this cruise instead of the one the week before. This is our first Disney cruise. We have sailed with other lines before, but looking forward to Disney. It will be my husband and I, our 9 year old son and 11 year old daughter. I was signed up with a fish extender group for the cruise we had to cancel and it sounded like fun, but I haven't found one for this cruise yet. Hope there will be one.

We just booked on May 2nd 4N Dream and are very excited! We used to live in Florida and have had annual passes in the past but have never done a Disney Cruise! My husband and I have our 8 yr old and 5 yr old girls going. Interested in the Fish Extenders, but not quite sure how you get involved in that. Is there another private group site for the Fish Extenders? Looking forward to it! Jaime

Welcome aboard! there is FE on another site for this cruise date, I don't think one has been set up here.

 

[JaimeGB]

Do you know what the other site is so I can get involved? You can pm me if you like.

I don't think you have enough post to receive PMs

I'm so confused. I thought DIS Boards was where you join a FE group. I see several people interested in it in the thread. Is there anyone that can explain to me how to participate? It's my first cruise and I've heard about it, I just thought it would be a fun thing for my kids. :-(

People use disboards as well as other sites to set up the FE. I just did a B2B cruise a couple weeks ago and we had one group put together on here and the other on a different site. It is hard when you can't help others out more....I am in the dark as well. I have searched for the group other places with no luck. If you find anything out let me know. Hopefully people find it or there won't be many participating

 

[JaimeGB]

I did find it eventually. ;-)

so we got a cabana.....not the one we would have liked. We have the family cabana and there is just 4 of us so i am hoping some more cheer families book and show an interest in them and we can share. And in the meantime i will be looking everyday to see if one of the other ones opens up

Which cabana did you get?

Which cabana did you get?

I checked in right at midnight and the grand family cabana #21 was the only cabana left. It is about double the size of the others and almost double the price. 10 are included in the price but can pay the extra per person up to 16. There are only 4 of us so it is a bit large for us but Castaway day is May, 4th and my 40th B-day so we took it. We just sailed a couple weeks ago B2B on the magic and had a cabana both castaway days and I think they are worth every penny. It would be ideal if I found someone who wanted and needed the grand cabana that had a regular one reserved and was willing to call disney and do the switch (probably a slim chance) The other options are to find others who may be interested in going in on it with us or just keeping it for the 4 of us....just not sure if I can stomach the almost $1,000 for the day. Sorry for the long response to your small question
