DisneyHonu,
WOW! The website looks great! Love it. Does it appear above or below our DIS cruise meet on the DIS page? I agree with penguinaddict (Lori), that putting our cruisers list and the FE list on it would be great!
Good job!

Hello everyone! My sister and her family are taking all of us on our first Disney Cruise! We want to get involved in the fish extender - Oma is pretty creative (she's a florist at Disney World!) and we think it will be lots of fun. Who should I talk to? There's 4 adults and 5 children in our group.

Thank you!

I've never built one through Google either. I just copied what they did from the Jan 23rd thread.

I just put up the listing.

And thank you for getting us motivated!

Mahalo!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about above or below on the DIS page.

Hi Omasgirls!
Nice to meet you, and see more of our cruisers on here! I'm Becky, and we are excited! Glad to see there are more FE'rs! What are the ages/names of the children/adults in your group? We have teens and a 6 year old, so our kids will be excited to meet new friends, and although we are Annual Disneyland Passholders, this will be their first Disney cruise!

Lori (Penguinaddict),
You have teens too, yay! Mine will enjoy meeting yours. Do you have a specific date in mind for cutoff for joining the Fish Extenders (FE) group? Then I'll know exactly how many & what ages to buy for, & get it all ready to go!

Lawrence (DisneyHonu),
I was thinking of when you first get on DIS, and go to DIS cruise meets, then you go to "2011 Wonder cruises", it pulls up each date, some have 2 links under their date. Could the webpage have it's link right there? If not, not a biggie. I love the page you designed! I'm excited for our cruise! (Our neighbors/good friends just got back today from a week in Hawaii. Said it was wonderful & warm! Maybe one day, Disney will figure out the ways to get the Laws to work in their favor, & will do a Disney Hawaii cruise! I'll be there.)

Month & a half to go guys, yes!!!!

 

[penguinaddict]

Disney Honu, thanks for building the website! Looks great!

If anyone wants to facebook "friend" before the cruise, send me a private message and I'll send you my facebook link.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

 

[DisneyHonu]

CalDisfans,
I guess I could PM IrishCowboy since he's the thread owner. The worst he could say is NAH. Please thank your neighbors for supporting our local economy. If anybody needs any Hawaii vacation tips, feel free to ask.

CalDisfans and penguinaddict,
Honestly, it was nothing. Doing those few pages was more fun than work. It was my turn to do Helpdesk... I just told each caller to reboot their computer.

 

[Omasgirls]

thanks for the welcome, everyone! We have quite a group, not sure of our cabin#s off hand. Our children are (Daniel 10, Hendrikje 8, Anneke 5, Annalise 4, and James, my son, turns 2 at sea!).

CalDisFans, to answer your question about the FE, DisneyHonu has graciously taken over the project.... I would say a month or so out so everyone can begin focusing on packing, etc. What do you think???

 

[Omasgirls]

what do the dd, DGS, DS... stand for?

 

[penguinaddict]

Hi,

The best I've ever figured out without searching the forums is:

DH - Disney Husband
DM - Disney Mom
DD - Disney Daughter
DS - Disney Son
DGS - Disney Grandson
DGD - Disney Granddaughter

Goodness knows if I'm on the right path... if not, I like my idea!

 

[CalDisfans]

Haha! I know, it took me a while to figure out all the codes too. You're right Penguinaddict, except also is "DW", which is Disney wife. The idea of closing the FE a month before our cruise sounds great. Our 13 year old DD will be happy there will be a girl near her age! She just turned 13 a couple months ago. I've read on here that they have opened "The Edge" onboard the Wonder! That is the club for 11-13 yr olds.

Thanks DisneyHonu! Let me know how we can help. PM me (personal message) with any things we can work together with you on the FE.

Ok group, who else is in for the Fish Extender (FE)? It will be alot of fun and simple. Not sure about it? Ask questions.

First time DCL cruisers? REMINDER:

Jan 11th at midnite EST, is our day to book Port Adventures/Spa treatments/Palo!

I thought you were in charge and I was assisting you!
I guess I'll step up to plate if you'll still help out and stay motivated.

 

[Omasgirls]

What kinds of things have people found for port adventures? Are you booking through the cruise?

Hi DisneyHonu! Sorry, guess I'm just being floopie (that's what Bryce calls me when I don't have all my ducks in a row). I'd be glad to head the FE! We need to get the word out! I'll PM everyone on the list and check in....

Thanks! Lori

Anyone interested in my Facebook Group (it's set to "secret" so I don't think it's searchable), just do a friend request and I'll add you to the group page and we can add stuff there too!

77 days!!!

 

[CalDisfans]

Omasgirls,
We booked online, through DCL (Disney Cruise Line). Did you book through them, or a TA (travel Agent)? If you are a first time DCLer, you can log onto DCL on Jan 11 (2 days!), and start booking your "port adventures", and make reservations for the Spa, and Palo (the adult only restaurant for a dinner, brunch, or High Tea/desserts.), or contact your TA if you used one, to start booking/making "ressies" (reservations). On the DCL website, you can see a list of all the Port Adventures for our 3 port stops, and the prices for each.
I see you are doing the FE (fish Extender).h extender? If not, you can search them here on the site, or look on Ebay , put in search for Fish extender, and purchase there, or make one on your own. If you're traveling in a big group with multiple rooms, you can put one on each door with the names of who's in each room.
Hope that helps! Can't wait!

Right path, but the "D" usually stands for "dear.". So, Dear Son, Dear Wife, etc. You will see this on non-Disney sites too. I guess it can double for "Disney" too.

Oh, not a problem. I just think you make a better thread leader and I make a better thread secretary.

I have been holding back from getting a Facebook account, but maybe I should reconsider...

 

[Omasgirls]

I doubt I will book any excursions through the cruise. My son is too young for most them, and I'd rather just pack a beach bag and a little soft cooler and hit a public bus to a public beach (our crew of 9 is too big for a taxi!). I'm going to pack my own mask and snorkle, inflatable floaties from the 99c store, and some plastic buckets.

I've never been to the Mexican Riviera, though, so if anyone has any good insights - terrific!
