Hello all. I would love to join the private FB page. It was very active for our Nov. 2013 Fantasy cruise with so many tips and so much helpful info. Someone even had lanyards made up and sold them at cost which was great because we were able to spot and meet others from our FB group. Another member organized a private cocktail tasting. DH really enjoyed that.
I'm not sure exactly how it was done, but I do know that last time whoever was in charge of the private FB group contacted each person who wanted to join individually. I can't remember if it was through the DIS private message or something else, but that way we didn't have to write our full name here on the DIS where anyone can read of our travel plans. We just responded to the person who added us to the group. Am I being overly-cautious? I hope that doesn't sound obnoxious or anything, I guess I'm just old-school. We've had our credit card compromised twice (once at WDW) so I'm a little bit jaded. Eventually, the DISboards group kind of faded but the FB group was active right up to the time of the cruise and even now it's still going.
Also, I would to join in on the fish extender exchange. That was very popular this past trip as well, with about 60 cabins participating. Maria (the one in charge) broke it into three separate groups so that it was much more manageable. It was lots of fun!
We rebooked the same cruise because we really liked the three days at sea, much more relaxing than many other cruises we've been on. This will be our 4th
Disney cruise, once on the Wonder and this will make 3 times on the Fantasy. It sure is a gorgeous ship.
