Do any of you have GTYs? I'm dying to see my cabin assigned. Should be any SECOND now.

CarolAnnC, I read about your issue with the Alaskan, hope you find some resolution!

My daughter 16(HS senior) and mother & I are heading on our first Disney cruise. Couldn't believe the pricing, the shipboard credits etc, and it coincides with a long weekend for my daughter. We've cruised a lot in fact this is the third this year. We are Disney addicts. We've been 15 times since January. Yes we live in Florida. My daughter started a blog on disney for teens this summer. Can't wait to check this out.

Please add 5 more to your list. This will be our 3rd Disney cruise. Like everyone else here we are also Disney fanatics. It will be myself, my mother, DD13, DD10 and DS6. I asked the kids if they wanted to do the FE thing again and the answer was yes. We did it 4 months ago on our last cruise and they loved it. We've already started gathering goodies for this FE. WE can't wait.

Welcome, how exciting, more cruisers!

I'll send a message to everyone on this thread about FE participation, and then I'll post a list. I will ask you for your cabin number when I contact you so I can make sure everyone participating has it, but I WILL NOT post it out on this board, FYI, I'll keep it in PMs

FYI, got my cabin assignment, first time no upgrade but that is fine, we hit the upgrade lotto with the Med (11 to 6). This time around we booked 12GTY, with $25 OBC and another $50 for the Disney Visa, and we were assigned a Cat 12. I've never stayed in anything under a 10 so I am actually curious to see one "normal" bathroom, lol. I thought about upgrading to a Cat 11, only $50 more, but really it doesn't matter...plus where we are now is close to the adult areas (one floor up for the clubs, and an elevator ride up to the pool).

Welcome! You will become addicted to cruising, especially Disney cruising!

LOL. This was the only way I could my husband on the cruise this past April. He didn't want to come with us this time. Oh well. We will still have fun regardless.

 

[FrigulettoEA]

Hey, Is anybody going to the Food & Wine Festival before or after the cruise?

I know that's a must for us.

 

[suzib]

We'll be at the Food & Wine on October 2. We are also volunteers for the 1/2 Marathon that night (great way to get free Disney tickets & T-Shirts)

5 weeks from today, we'll be sailing on the Wonder.

I'm sending PMs out now for the FE...

Hello! I'm new on these boards... a fellow Passporter referred me over here. This will be mine and my DH's first cruise. It's kind of a celebration of our 5th Anniversary (actually back in April), my 40th birthday (yesterday) and a mini delayed honeymooon. We have 3 little ones, so a short cruise is all we can do right now... not many people will agree to watch a 4 1/2 yo and 2 - 3 yo twins...all boys! LOL

I can't wait... I am SOOOO looking forward to this trip and a little break from reality. We decided not to schedule any excursions and are just going to slug around and do as we feel at the moment.

Question - what is an FE?

We aren't scheduling Palo, as we're pretty casual people and want to (again) slug around. {just to give you an idea - our wedding was a Hawaiian theme and my MIL had to threaten my DH to wear kahki's instead of shorts for the ceremony - I actually had a wedding dress though..lol)

Well, let me know please if there are any get togethers, as I'd love to meet other DIS's.

Thanks.
Connie

Hi Connie, and welcome! I have twins too, but mine are 11! I'll send you a PM about the Fish Extenders!

We just got back from a mini vacation to the National Harbor in MD and had a great surprise when we arrived home....our cruise docs are here!!! Now I am getting really excited. Did anybody else get their docs?

 

[DisneyfanTX]

Yes!! We got our too on Saturday!!! Doing the happy dance!!!

 

[FrigulettoEA]

I am looking forward to just enjoying this cruise. I didn't book any excursions for us this time around and if feels great! In a few more weeks I can call to see what movies are playing onboard.

I signed on to Disney Cruise Line website and noticed that you can have Mickey Mouse call your house. there are other characters too. I just had my children answer the phone and put it on speaker. My son loved it.

We did that too...She loved it..I, of course, thought I would be able to do it more than once (I figured it would be nice if she got a call every week) but I guess it is a one shot deal.. Oh well, Special Agent Oso can keep calling..(from the playhouse Disney site)..

Four and a half weeks til the Wonder. First time cruise for DW, DD(9) and DS(7). Very excited. Still trying to figure out this FE thing.

Also, anyone else thinking of doing the water park at Atlantis?

Hi, and welcome! I just sent you a PM with the Fish Extender information, you have to have 10 posts to do a private message but I included my email address!

No water park for us this time, we are leaving the kids at home. But Atlantis is amazing!
