May 4, 2013 Fantasy 7 Night Eastern Caribbean

[Salma]

I have been working on one part of our FE gifts and I am so excited! They are turning out so cool!
So happy that I heard about this and get to join y'all in it.

I'm excited too!!! Just finished one part of my FE's, don't wanna spoil it but one hint is ok *gold coins*

Thank you for the Facebook add! Sorry I'm late in joining but we weren't sure if we would change our cruise date. We decided to keep it and are very excited! I put our names on the FE list, but since we are so late in joining, if this is a problem please let me know. I will completely understand.
There are only 2 of us this time. We are leaving our incredibly unhappy children at home! This is our 3rd cruise ( all Disney! ) but the first time on the Fantasy. This is also the first time for a FE group and I'm really looking forward to it!

We are Jeff & Laura from Seneca, SC
Room # 8572 Late Dining

Looking forward to having fun with all of you!

OMG!! We are from Seneca, SC also!

It really is a small world! Imagine, having to go to the Caribbean to meet your neighbors!

Hmmmmm....you could be the lady behind me at Bi-lo yesterday,...or the lady sitting beside me at Chick-fil-a!!! Seneca is not that big, so I wonder if we have crossed paths before?!

Well, if you see someone hanging out at the Disney ribbons at wally world, that might be me! Just don't try to peek in my buggy or you could ruin the FE surprise!

I look forward to meeting you!

Well, better late than never I say! I just booked this cruise last week. Looks like I have a thread to catch up on.

It's just myself (33) and DW(33)
Hometown: Roanoke, VA
Stateroom: GTY (whatever the heck that means, we booked 5E though so I imagine will be on the aft part of the ship somewhere)

Looking forward to sailing with you all very soon, 68 days to be exact

Welcome to the cruise!! GTY means guarantee--you are guaranteed at least a stateroom in the category that you booked-you may end up with a higher level category (being upgraded).

We're glad you and your wife are joining us on the cruise! If you are interested in disboards lanyards (free) just add your info to the list by clicking the link in my signature.

Welcome to the cruise and thread. Best wishes booking the port and on-ship activities you desire.

 

[Tom and Denise]

Denise and I just booked last week. It will be our 3rd Disney cruise. (I won the first one at Who Wants to be a Millionaire in Hollywood Studios). We took the Disney/Pixar cruise last Fall.

We are in our 50's.
Just us.
From Northwest Indiana (about 40 miles from Chicago)
Late seating (as of now)

I had a question for the group. What is the cancellation policy for Remy? I want to book a reservation but would like to be able to cancel if it conflicts with Animator's Palette.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey welcome to the DIS, the thread, and the cruise! Glad to see other 50somethingers joining the group.

As for Remy, the DCL page says 2pm day of dinner. I don't know what the policy would be for a champagne brunch though.

Enjoy!

**FE Update**
I have updated the FE list. When you have a chance please visit the spreadsheet and update/check your information. Be careful not to delete others information. We would like everyone to list (f)female or (m) male. Also, for kids please put the age in () as well. This helps for those making personalized gifts (don't fret its not a requirement). Also, please note whether you would have a preference for a small participation listing (10-20 rooms) or a large participation list (currently at 36 rooms). If at least 10 rooms want to be on a smaller list I will split those rooms out. If anyone from the larger list would like to gift to the smaller list they can. If less than 10 rooms ask to be on a smaller list I will leave it as one big listing and leave it up to everyone if they want to give to everyone or not. Trust me we won't judge (or even keep track) if we don't get gifts from everyone. Please remember you can sign up through April 4th.

On another note, we get to visit the mouse in six days for a quick day visit. Heading to the Magic Kingdom to go see the new Fantasyland. CAN'T WAIT!!! Will help to get us in the spirit for the cruise.

Thanks for the update Anji!! Enjoy your visit with the Mouse!

 

[lorenni]

Thanks for updating the FE list! My exciting news for this week - after returning from a family trip to POFQ last weekend I convinced my parents to join us on a southern Caribbean cruise in 2014 so I have a two bedroom suite booked on the magic! Woohoo!!

Now I just need to completely forget about it, since its a year and a half away.

 

[calker]

Our info has all been updated.

Again thank you for coordinating this for all of us.

Is it time to start packing yet? I wrote our packing lists today..I'm going to try to keep it lighter than in the past.

I started packing my clothes over the weekend! Didn't put them in suitcase but started to make piles. I also started my list of what else we have to bring. Since this is our first cruise I just know I am going to pack too much!

This are our 9th & 10th cruises and I still tend to over pack!
