I'd be up for sharing...we are at the second seating..and we could celebrate all of their Birthdays My boys are turning 8th on the 11th and would love having a friend to eat with. Heather. We're in 8154. I think I messed up my room number in the original.

Great! I'll contact DCL to set it up!

Sounds good. Let me know if I need to do anything from my side.

Hello! We just booked our cruise yesterday. My father is a retired cast member and they just released rooms to them this week, so any stragglers to the group would be this week and next, I think. We've sailed the Dream twice and love doing FEs if it's not too late. This is our first time on Fantasy. Because we booked GTY, we won't have our actual cabin number until just before the cruise, though, which hasn't been a problem in the past.
Cabin: GTY/TBD - Macfarlane
DH (47) - Keith
DD (7) - Kate
Myself (43) - Stefanie
We drink and don't have allergies. My DD is obsessed with Descendants, especially Evie. She loves Alice in Wonderland, Inside Out and Big Hero 6. She's growing out of the princess phase (sniff, sniff), but loves classic characters.

We haven't cruised since 2013 and I'm wondering where all my fun icons and pictures have gone. Guess I have some personalizing to do after work today!

We have done the Dream three times and this is also our first time on the Fantasy. Our daughter, Emaleah, is turning 8 on Sept. 19th and is also a big fan of The Descendants & Inside Out! If we can get a meet and greet together the first day, it would be great to meet since our daughters are close in age! See you all soon!

Alcohol is ok for us, no allergies Daughter is OBSESSED with frozen We are still waiting on our cabin number (we booked a restricted fare), but should get it any day now

 

[TheShurtleffs]

Are we going to sign up for days? The last time we did this, it was a bit of a mess because no one knew when to give their stuff to people and we got 90% on day 1 then a few things at the end. Thanks!

 

[NCHolbrook]

one more update to room number and some other little tidbits

 

[NCHolbrook]

I was just wondering, is there anything else we would like to share on our list? like what time are people checking in? which seating do they have? Who will be attending the DVC meet and greet? who is planning to way to the camera at the port? LOL lots of things to learn! Cant wait to you meet people!

I had never really considered this part, we only did a 4 day last time but yes it was a similar experience. I have actually been thinking about doing more than one delivery round myself... i will likely do one early round one later round for delivery

 

[Riggsy]

If we do sign up for days, I will be delivering on the first day, due to the nature of my FE gift, please!

Waiting to hear back from folks if we want to do a meet and greet? Perhaps at Mickey's pool between 2:30 and 3:30 PM the first day? That way the kids can play in the pool, and have access to soda/water on the pool deck. That way lunch is over, and it's before the safety drill and dinner schedules. Let me know! I'll plan on being there with nametags if at least a few other families want to participate.

Also, I really need first and last names of FE participants for my FE Gift, so if you can, please provide. If you'd rather not, I'll figure out something else for your cabin, THANKS!

 

[Heather Normand]

Okay, so here's our information. We're on the early arrival time 10:30 - 10:45. We'll be spending the night in Cape Canaveral on Friday Night at the Country Inn. Anyone else driving in the night before? We're at the Second Seating for Dinner. And, we'd be up for meeting at the Mickey Pool before the Safety Drill. Last Name is Normand. We have multiple little things, too...that we could split up and deliver to spread out some of the gifts, if need be

Looks great - no allergies in our cabin - alcohol is ok in our cabin . We have late seating and are supposed to check in at 12 but I am going to try to get in sooner. Daughter is Paige and she will be 7 on Halloween - 6 at sailing and our son's name is Peyton. He is obsessed with Mickey and Paige is typical girl loving all things descendants and secretly frozen

Lucky you, castmember sister! Welcome!

 

[Mulanrocks]

Alright did a quick catch up. We were going to skip the FE anyway (major food allergies to dairy and soy and limited planning time) but we would like to come to a meet up if there is one. This i my 5th disney cruise, my husbands 4th, and Isabella's 2nd. Its always nice to get to know new faces! Is everyone decorating their doors? i love wandering the halls and looking at the doors.

 

[Riggsy]

Ok, I will plan on having a meet and greet at the Mickey Pool starting at 2:30 on the day we leave, yay! So, if you get on the ship before 2:30, come on up to the pool and hang out for a bit. I'll bring name tags for everyone. I'm really hoping this doesn't conflict with the DVC meet, if it does I'll send DH to that one, and I'll hang out at the pool with DD (who is also 6 turning 7 right after cruise just like your daughter Jennifer!)

 

[OHDisneyMommy]

NCHolbrook - Can you add my Disname OHDisneyMommy with OHDisneyDaddy77 to our cabin 9600? The Timko Family is checking in at 11 a.m. We are at the first dinner seating. We always go to the DVC meet which I think is from 2:30 - 3:30. If we can't move this meet up a bit, my daughter and I will come meet at the pool with everyone. My daughter loves Descendants & Inside Out and my husband & I love Stitch. Our FE gifts are not time sensitive so we can deliver mid week on the cruise. This is our first cruise with the Fantasy. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Welcome! We decorate our door - it should be all decked out! - check it out Cabin 9600!

We'll be decorating our door, too! We had so much fun with that last year.

Hello! We booked a few weeks ago, but didn't find this thread till today. This will be our 7th Disney Cruise and this will finish off all of the ships for us(been on the Magic, Dream, and Wonder already). It will be Me Bill, DW Rashelle, DD (16) Brianna, and DD(14) Caitlin. We have a VGT room so I don't know what that will be yet. Only 30 days!

I don't know if this is the place to put this, but I had some medical issues earlier this year and want this to be a really special cruise. All of the Cabanas on Castaway Cay were obviously gone when we booked, but if anyone needs to cancel one that they have on the Family Beach, could you please let me know (PM)? I'd be happy to pay you ($200) for the time it takes to coordinate the transfer. If this part is against the rules please let me know and I will delete this.

That's great! We are on deck 9 as well so i will definitely be walking by there for a look. We are 9128. And my sister and her friends have a cabin a few doors down. She usually does her door as well. Just booked our excursions and mickey called Isabella this morning to tell her about the cruise. She doesn't understand the cruise part but did get that mickey called and was over the moon. She pretend played mickey calling all afternoon.
