October 4, 2012 - Mr Sandman bring me a 3 night Dream!

[DisFanJen]

I'm glad to hear that! This is our 2nd WDW trip but our first to F&W. Can't wait!

Nassau might be a perfect day to stay on the ship. If the kids didn't really want to see Atlantis, I'd be chillin' by the pool with a beverage watching the kiddos on the Aquaduck.

F&W is great fun!

There's only 3 times of year I go to WDW.

1) March for my B'Day.
2) XMas.
3) Halloween & F&W.

Oh, if you've never done Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party I'd recommend it. There's nothing like the sight of a grown man in a Tinkerbell outfit to give you a giggle.

Hello! My DH (Tim), myself (Tina), and our youngest DD (Gabby) are on this cruise! We just booked last month, we had some DVC points that we were using in one of our staterooms on the Fantasy this June, and decided to upgrade to a Cat V, this only required one room for our family of 5. So we had points to use somewhere on a cruise! We decided to leave the older girls home with grandma and take the 1 year old with us!

We will be in room 12008. This will be my 14th Disney cruise, my husbands 13th and Gabby's 5th. We love cruising! We live in the southwestern burbs of Chicago! We are DVC members at SSR and AKV. We have 4 DDs ages 15, 13, 8 and 1. We were married on the Magic in 2009. I work at a dental office as the office manager, and my husband is a manager at Costco.

Okay enough about us...

I'm glad to see there are a few other Dissers! Can't wait to get know all of you!

Welcome, Tina

I'm Jenny, my husband Rob and I will be sailing without kids for our first DCL. We booked this since I will be taking the kids to WDW the following June and DH won't be able to take off work then.

We live about 45 minutes out of Pittsburgh. I'm an antique dealer and my husband works for a paving company.

Hi Tina!

Nice to see another DVCer on here.

Welcome Tina!!

Hello fellow cruisers Very excited to see I am not the only one on this cruise!

This is our first cruise and will be travelling with my DH and my DD(age 5), I booked and paid for the cruise last year and it is a surprise for my DH so I still have to plan my big reveal. We will be staying at AKL for a few day before the cruise so I hope to manage to keep it a secret until then.

Hi, Sheree

This will be our first cruise, too. It's actually a present for DH's birthday, though I think I'm way more excited about it than he is. Hopefully you can keep your secret, because I couldn't...

Hi, Mike. Welcome aboard

 

[iloverags2]

Hi! One of my BFFs and I will be sailing with you all (and leaving the hubbys and kids at home! ). This will be her first cruise ever, and my sixth Disney cruise (and 12th cruise all together).

Anyone interested in doing the FE exchange??? If so, I will gladly head it up!

 

[DisFanJen]

Hi again all!

Looks like this is going to be a quiet sailing... For Dissers anyway so doing a FE might be impractical, but hey ho there's time yet.

On a good not however, I got some paperwork from DCL in the post yesterday!

 

[greedyhenry]

Hi, we are on this cruise too! Our second and we are very excited - it has been three years since the last one and I am new to the boards. I have searched FAQ but I can't find the answer: what is an FE? Thanks!

An FE is Fish Extender. The thread here gives a good low-down on what it actually is. In a nutshell it's like a Secret Santa exchange with the folks who participate. Very fun! (We just got home from a 5-night Magic cruise, where I participated in my third - or was it fourth? - FE!)

If anyone is interested, I will start putting together a list. I know we have such a small group right now, but with our most recent sailing the FE really did not get off the ground until about 4 months prior to sail date.

Hey why not!

Feel free to get one 'kicked off' and I'm happy to join in as I'm flying with full luggage this time so I'll have room to get some UK goodies in there for the FE.

Oh heck! I'll have to get\buy an FE!

EDIT:

Better add the info:

Guests: Jennifer (Adult) & Stacey (Adult)
Room: #7188
Notes: Both veggies and Jen's (it's weird talking about myself in the third person) a diabetic so no sweeties please. (I know it's a pain). Oh, and by adult read 'overgrown 5 year old'

 

[JennyWren]

I'm in, too.

Jenny & Rob (both supposed adults)

Room: GTY, so I'll keep you updated

 

[iloverags2]

Excellent! I will start the list! There will be two of us...one of my closest friends and me!
