May 25th, 2013 Fantasy Western!

[akennedy4]

We are voting on how we'd like to split the list up, but you have total control of your gift(s). I know a lot of us are doing a cabin gift but you can chose to do per person if you'd like. Also, I'm pretty sure it's just a one time gift whenever you chose to give it, as it's too time consuming to go around the ship multiple days! John keeps the FE list updated so he'll add you!!

We are traveling with another family. I emailed them to see if they might be interested in joining the FE's also.
If so, who should I contact?

I've been doing a lot of research re fish extender gifts. I know it's going to be so much fun to come "home" and finds lots of surprises. I'm sure ill enjoy it just as much, if not more than my daughter.

I'd love to see some of your pics.

FINALLY getting caught up here! Sort of took the weekend off and just stayed away from the computer.

Hi! This is our first Disney cruise and it will be just me and my daughter. We wanted to get in on the fish extender group, I have been reading up and it sounds really fun!
Krystal (me)
Makenzie (daughter)
stateroom 10034
no allergies
I'm not sure if I put all the correct info or if I did this right, just let me know

Welcome Krystal - got you and Makenzie on the list!

Hi John..... I'll voluntEAR to order the wristbands. Just need a consensus on color and an idea of how many of each size we'll need (Adult/Youth). I can order 100 each, since the promo is buy 100 get 100 free. I'll just need to call the company to make sure they get the sizes correct.
Also, do we want the debossed (imprinted with name, but no color), or printed name with color? If printed with color, what color font? Black? So the front do we want (Fantasia Amigos) and the back (May 25, 2013)?

I'll be waiting to hear back from everyone, but don't want to wait too long before ordering.

Diana - you rock!
Debossed is fine as others have said, nothing to wear off. Neon green is my vote as yellow gets confused with LIVEStrong bracelets.

I need 1 adult and 1 youth (Pam's wrist is pretty small, the adult kept falling off! ) I'm keeping track on the spreadsheet, but double check (or just keep your own list and ignore mine )

Two things... I asked my DS Brandon if he and his friend would like to participate in the FE and he said yes. 2nd I like the bracelet idea and would like to request 4 adult size an 1 child size. On our last cruise, one DISBoarder made up "badges" that could be put into your lanyard pouch with your DIS name on it and your real name. Was very cute but since your pouch was not always facing forward, it was hard to see it. The bracelet idea is very good improvement on that idea.

Anne: Got Brandon and Jeremy on the list

Hi Ashley! Got you and the other family on the list. Give it a quick look to make sure I didn't mess things up.

I also vote on the neon green bracelet. Please put me down for 2 adults just in case my DH decides he wants to wear one which is not very likely since he likes to be incognito. He is not as involved as I am in any kind of planning whatsoever. Also how are we going to get them? Are we going to have a Dismeet the first day maybe on Deck 3 by the statue or 11 somewhere? I vote for right after the sail away party so everyone will have time to do what they need to before then. John, how did you guys do this on your last cruise?
I am very excited to get going on vacation. It was -16 this morning. Yep that's right MINUS 16.

I totally agree, my husband thinks I'm absolutely nuts. I'm not very outgoing either, but my daughter loves to meet friends. Great point about the Live Strong bracelets, John!

Looks good!! Let me know the details as soon as you guys decide.
Thanks!!

120 something days before we fly out! Yay!

Just want to post it here again (will be posting on the regular Pontoon boat sharing thread outside of DCL as well), that we have a Pontoon boat booked for Illuminations on Monday, May 20. So far I have 6 adults on the boat, and the boat is good for 10 people. PM me if you're interested in sharing.

Standardgirl (me!) - 4 adults
Lauralooneyfordisney - 2 adults

still spaces for 4

We met at 3:00 next to the family pool. It was a little crowded and hectic, but most of us had our bracelets for the sail away party. So we did have a little DISmeet. It was fun, and you can see a bunch of us on the webcam (that's me, second from the aft end of the ship along the rail at 8:43). Easier to see in the photos though. All the folks in that picture were from the DISboards.

 

[disneywonderfun]

Admittedly, it is getting exciting watching the uptick in posts on this board. It just means we are getting close to departure!

See ya soon,

DWF

Neon green is fine with us also. We need 4 adults and 1 child.

 

[standardgirl]

Can we get neon green as well? 4 adults

 

[critagirl]

Yes! Just post names, ages, staterooms, any allergies, if this is your first cruise and any celebrations (I think I got it all).

We are also getting a number of people who want bright green bracelets so we can identify other disers. If you'd like bracelets, we need to know how many adult sizes and how many kid sizes. John and Diane will add you to the lists.

HI i just posted a thread about the FE for the May 25th cruise on the fantasy, i hope to get a list of people going.

Ok crazy question is there a list on the forum to look at?

I'm hoping we'll have a Dis meet shortly after boarding the ship. I've only done this once before on the Wonder. We met prior to the muster at the Promanade Lounge. Since I haven't been on the Fantasy, I don't know where the best place would be. I'm sure there are some (or many) of you that have had a Dis meet on the Fantasy. That would be the best time to give out the wristbands since we'll all be together. Anyone can chime in with ideas. I'll be ordering the wristbands next week. Since its buy 100, get 100 free, ill just do that and we'll have plenty for anyone else that will join in. I'll let you all know what the total $$ amt will be when I place the order.
