[erikharwell]

yes we booked a VGT along with family in another cabin. I am curious as to what cabin we get. Our last cruise was a VGT as well and we got an awesome cabin.

Hello everyone. My family and I just booked the Fantasy Not So Scary Cruise. I know it's very last minute, but are there any openings in a FE group? Also, is there a Facebook page for this cruise?

 

[DZNYFAM]

Oh my goodness! I've been reading the threads and see so many fun activities going on in this group! Is it too late to sign up for the TOT? We would be more than happy to contribute bags of candy for the activity.

Welcome to the group It's probably not too late to sign up for TOT. We just got an awesome person to head up that project.

I could be wrong, but I think the FE are all full. There will probably be several families who are booking in the next month or two so maybe they will open up one more group for the latecomers?

 

[erikharwell]

I have sent a couple PM's about joining a fish extender group for this cruise. they do not show up in my sent box or do I get a reply. I would like to join a group if possible and my daughter would love the TOT if there is still space. Thank you in advance

I am considering joining the fish extender late group if there is one. Which Sarah Lane do I PM on Facebook?

 

[Bear3412]

....So, what do you think? Can I add you to the class list or are you truly not interested?
We are not interested in participating, although it may be fun to watch and socialize if possible depending on the time and locale. With only two sea days this voyage will be very busy.

As for the t-shirts....
....I will let you know as soon as I hear more!
Awesome. Thank you.

63 days to go.

Have to start by saying, Welcome, NannyLisaD. I am known in some circles as whosafraidofthebigbadwolf, so am happy to see you chose this cruise!

I was actually just here to update the Trick or Treat info. As some of you already know, Maggie who was heading this up had to change cruises. So now you are stuck with me! I am updating her spreadsheets with volunteers and participants for our private ToT. I am copying her original email here and will do the same with the volunteer info in the next post. Please note, this will ONLY be open to new participants through 9/1 in order not to place an undue burden on our volunteers! FYI, right now we have 90 (!) participants. Thanks everyone.


OFFICIAL Trick-or-Treating SIGNUP time!
Please provide the following for each Trick-or-Treater in your family:
1) Stateroom #
2) First/Last Name
3) Age
4) Sex
5) Favorite Fab 5 Character
6) Food Allergies (if any)


***PM all information to plannermom on DIS***
DEADLINE for signup is September 1st. Signup is required to participate. We don't want any little goblin left out so signup now while it's on your mind. Post requesting volunteers and donations will be coming.

Below is the original volunteer email; please read and contact me by PM if you're willing to help. Thank you!!!

REQUEST - Trick-or-Treat Helpers Signup time!

Our ToT event will be held on our Day at Sea on Thursday, October 30. Tentatively this is planned to take place starting at 10:30am. I hope that gives everyone enough "sleep-in" time.

Planning on treats for 100 participants! at least 6 stations!


HOW CAN YOU HELP?
1) Sign-up to donate candy! Estimating about 50 fun size assorted bags of candy will be needed. This # may increase/decrease based on registration.

2) Sign-up to donate "non-candy" treats! Some of our trick-or-treaters have food allergies and all kids like the unexpected treat. Estimating (500 pieces or 5/participant). Many sites like www.orientaltrading.com, party stores, $1 stores, etc. I'm sure you know more then me!

3) Sign-up to run a station! 2 people per station would be great! You will need to meet 30min prior to start time to get organized and head to reserve your station spot. I will have all the materials and information you need. I would like to distribute the candy to the station volunteers at the meet and greet (10/25 3:30 at Vista Café) We will have kids take off on their own, or with parents if you are more comfortable. Think "Amazing Race" meets Disney cruise.

4) Sign-up to be a crafter! This is where I need some crafty people. I would like to brainstorm with you on ideas for a "final station" Halloween treat based on the FAB 5 characters the participants have given me. Our final station will be the same for EVERYONE! This way we will get to see all of their excitement over their lot, parents can have a meeting spot to find kids and we can maybe even get a group picture (wishful thinking, but we can try).

5) Sign-up to be a $$ donor. If your suitcases are already going to be full and none of the other ideas trip your trigger then any and all $ donations are appreciated. I won't specify an amount as you are not obligated to do this at all. ANY overage not used for ToT will be given to our "Meet & Greet".

PLEASE send PM to plannermom on DISboards.
Provide the following:
1) First/Last Name
2) Stateroom
3) What you want to help with
4) Favorite Fab 5 character

If we signed up with Maggie do we now need to sign up with you?

IOW do you have her info of those who have already signed up for the ToT, volunteers for stations, etc?

... First cruise and can't wait!!

Welcome to the group.

Nice vessel choice for your first sailing.

Welcome to the Disboards too.

 

[plannermom]

Morning Bear,

No, you will not need to sign up again as Maggie has graciously provided her spreadsheets to me. I have you as a volunteer and 2 kiddos as participants. I am planning on closing down the ToT to new participants after 9/1 so we can get this planning together and will update all my awesome volunteers soon after that.

Happy Friday!
