May 25th, 2013 Fantasy Western!

[connellr]

On the 5/25/13 fantasy cruise. Contemplating doing fish extender. We don't want to be part of a large group. Is there a smaller group out there?

Hi,
I believe the list is going to be cut in half so that you would only need to exchange with 20 rooms. Not sure if this is the size you were looking for?

It is. What do I need to do to get our cabins signed up? We would prefer to do gifts only once, not every day. When would we know the complete list? Thanks!

Pirates costumes are easy to create. On our cruise last June, I decided at the last minute to dress up a little more. I layered my husband's dress shirt and a wide belt over a black dress. We packed eye patches and pirate swords from home. http://www.flickr.com/photos/11228214@N00/7441344900/sizes/m/in/set-72157630283662644/


92 more days!!!!!

Hi everyone! I've sort of been out of the loop here and am trying to catch up. DH and I got back from our mission trip to Nicaragua last week and now I feel like I can focus and get excited for our cruise. Our family will be dressing up for Pirate night if I can find clothes for myself and my girls. DH already has a costume from Halloween.

We can't book anything until March since this is our first cruise. I don't think we are going to do a lot. Does anyone have any good recommendations of excursions for us with children ages 10, 11, 13 at the time of cruise?

JohnPA is doing the list for the FE. He will need your names/age and cabin number. Look back a few messages and you can see the updated list that he is keeping, here is the link. http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo... Spreadsheet&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13611535918352

I believe he plans to send the lists the first week in April. I know that some of us have already started buying!! It is too fun. I will also be doing a one time cabin gift for the cruise, I believe this is up to each member to decide what they would like to do. Please correct me if I am wrong!
Looking forward to the fun!!!

Thanks for the info. If we only do gifts for one day, are we assigned a specific day?

Hey there. How do we get on the list for bracelets?

Hi, I'm in charge of ordering the bracelets. Just let me know how many adult and youth sizes. There will be a minimal charge for each. Won't know exactly how much yet since I'm still gathering info from everyone.

 

[elliemilo]

Our family would love to join the fish extender group. Who do I need to sign up with?

Paid our balance today. Getting excited now that we ar so close to the 90 day mark! Who else is staying up to book at 12 am? We don't really want anything except a Remy dinner and palo brunch or dinner. Maybe a few spa things. Not sure. Guess I better decide this week.

 

[ktb2002]

Well as of today there was plenty of Palo Brunch availability and all PAT still open. When I did mine almost 2 weeks ago I had a list in order of importance lol.

Is this your first time to the ports we are visiting or have you been there before? Do your kids like beach days, cultural activities, adventure, or shopping more? This info could help people better recommend excursions for your group. There ages are perfect for almost anything. We plan to rent a jeep on Cozumel which we have done on four other occasions. We love driving around the island and visiting the "wild" side. The kids love Paradise beach because of the water inflatables and kayaks. Me and hubby will probably dive either at Cozumel or grand cayman. Not sure about costa maya. May be a short trip to town an back to the boat as we have been there before. One highlight of costa maya is the $20 one hour beach massages available all along the beach in town. Town is a $2 per person taxi ride there and back. Let me know if you want other options.

This will be our first time to the ports. The kids like the beach but DH and I aren't really "sit on the beach type of people." I'd say cultural activities would be the best since some of us in our family aren't too adventerous. Thanks for the info!

I think I have pirate costumes lined up for everyone!

I'm getting so excited, our cruise will finally be paid off today!!!: I was on the DCL site and when I put my reservation number in, on the header it said Disney Fantasy Eastern ! I was wondering why it said that, because looking at the site a couple days ago, it said Western. Anyway, I went to DCL site and seached the date and it did say WESTERN. Wondering if anyone else has seen the same thing.....

Looking at the itinerary it would be nice..... Stops in San Juan and St Thomas.... but ive been trying to plan excursions, so of course, I'm looking at the Western stops and planning for those.

 

[kirkaliciasmom]

Just a reminder for you all...... I'll be placing the order for bracelets soon, so if anyone else wants to be included, please state how many adult/youth sizes you'd like. I will order a few extra too. The price will be minimal and you can pay when you receive them.

John, I haven't looked at the spreadsheet lately, but doing my count I have approx 42 adult and 10youth.... Are you up to date on the spreadsheet as far as the bracelets go?

 

[traugottmom]

Bracelets sound great, put our family down for 6 total: adult sizes and 2 youth sizes. We are looking forward to the FE too! This is our 3rd Disney cruise but 1st time participating in the FE fun! My Kids have been helping with our gifts and I know my Mother in law is making something cool too! My hubby said I need to be sure to make a few extra for us to keep also, should be so much fun!!! Thanks for organizing these groups!! The Traugott Family ( 8094 and 8096)

 

[akennedy4]

John,
Since we are traveling with the Tidwell family & the Traugott family, can we all be in the same FE group when you split it up? I know our kids will want to exchange with their buddies!
Thanks,
Ashley

Also sign us up for 4 adult bracelets please.

Ok lol, um yea mine is now saying Eastern, Port days say different ports, but when you click on the add activity it still brings up the Western Port Adventures. LOL I would be fine either way, but it took me forever to decide on what to do and what could be done with a 2 year old.

Mine is doing the EXACT same thing. However, as a TA when I go in to reserve through the TA site its still showing Western. I'm calling Disney and will let you know what they tell me.
