Thanks Group B for all our cool gifts! This was our first ever cruise and FE exchange and it was great fun seeing what was in our hanger each time we went back to our cabin!
Sorry we didn't make the meet

We had a great time as we always do on DCL. This was out first time to do FE and the kids really enjoyed checking it every time they came back to the room. Thanks to everyone in Group A, everything was great. Hope you can all find another DCL trip in your future.

Just got home today...Suprised AJ on the last day with a 4 day trip to WDW. OMG we had a great time. We had a great time on the cruise also. Thanks to all for a fish extender gifts. Look forward to keeping in touch.

Ok, so who booked on board and when are your cruises/dummy dates for?
Mine is for August 15th 2010 but I'm already planning on switching it for the Dream in 2011. Can't wait for Monday to book!!!!

Hi Everyone. We're finally home (after an extended stay at wdw) and just finishing the last remnants of laundry (aarrgh). What a wonderful trip and group of cruisers. I only wish we had more time to get acquainted. It was certainly a whirlwind trip. This was our first Disney cruise, and our favorite things were both the shows and our meet&greet group/Fish Extenders. Our kids looked forward to finding their "catch" everyday - certainly a huge highlight. I just wanted to thank you all for the thoughtful and very creative gifts that you all gave. It was incredible the thought and detail that went into everthing that was given. So thank you all for making our trip so special. In fact, we were just listeining to our wonderful cd from Mandy & Dan - what a great memory!! Thank you!
I must say, like others have mentioned, we were rather disappointed and very surprised that Halloween seemed to be overlooked on this cruise. In fact, it was one of the reasons we booked this sailing date. We had heard how much fun Halloween cruises were and figured the ship would be festively decorated in true Disney style, and there would be a true Halloween party and trick or treating for the kids on Hallows eve. By the time we got back to the ship (the day before halloween) we had already missed the trick or treating. We had brought our Halloween costumes (Gilligans Island Cast) along with our pirate costumes, but didnt end up wearing the Halloween ones as Halloween seemed to be on pirate night only. Anyways, none the less, we still had a fabulous time! Thank you all for making our trip so special. We hope our paths will cross again on the high seas. All the best, and happy sailing to you all,

Karen, Mark, Jenna & Ben

Hi all,
First off thanks for the wonderful gifts in the FE. They were great.
Sorry about the cabin change. DCL called our home tuesday to let us know that they were giving us an upgrade, but we were in WDW then. (we don't check messages we are gone). What was KEWL was we were upgraded on the flight down also.
Sorry we did not make the pre-cruise meet. We were running late.
It was good to meet Cari and Denver....

Hi all
We r home too so sad .... but Denver says he is glad to be in hos own bed !!! I am too ! We had such fun this year crusing and doing the FE we had a FANTASTIC group !!! I hope we can all KIT and if you facebook please look us up
Cari Shields ( i am in Ca and have pic of me and dogs ) I would love to keep this thread going or something we had a really fun group !!!!

I sent a request to add you as a friend. I am the one with the funny looking DCL/pirate avatar.

After much thought and looking at the DCL promotions for it, we booked the Inaugural Disney Dream cruise yesterday. In the end, we just could not pass up cruising on the new ship with all of our old cruising friends. Plus there's the AquaDuck.

Take care everyone.

In fact, we were just listeining to our wonderful cd from Mandy & Dan - what a great memory!!

I was just listening to ours while doing the ironing this morning I have to say, I loved the cool combination of tunes - really great

Karen, are you and Mark on Facebook at all? Would love to add you as I'm sure my DH, Gary, would add Mark - they seemed to hit it off quite well

 

[wilma-bride]

Just to add to everybody that you can find me on FB as Joanne Alcock - apparently, there are 14 people with the same name as me on FB so it shouldn't take you too long to find me - I have a group picture of me and my DIS girlfriends with a big bull (taken outside the Bull Ring in Birmingham) as my profile pic.

Here are some pics of our FE gifts

Apologies to those ive missed out, im still sorting out my pics xx

 

[wilma-bride]

Wow, looks like you got some great gifts Nat. I will have to get round to posting some of ours too.

Well, it was back to work for me yesterday - I was lucky enough to have last week off work which was good as it gave me some time to recover from severe jet-lag and post-holiday blues (not that I'm recovered from those yet).

I'm really pleased that you managed to book the Dream Bob - it looks like it will be an awesome ship

Cari, if you want to start your new thread for your next cruise, I will talk you through how to link it so people can find it

 

[wilma-bride]

Hellooooooooo, is anybody still here? What has everybody been up to?

 

[runskyhy]

I confess, I have been checking this thread regularly, hoping to hear how everyone is doing. When is everyone's next cruise? Has everyone moved onto there new 'Meet' group?

Anyone finish a TR for the cruise? I'd love to read them. I only got as far as my food pictures from the trip - surprise surprise - Ha! They are here:

I caught the sniffles this week, and I am so glad that it was not during the trip!!! I am just starting to plan for the upcoming holidays! What is everyone doing for Thanksgiving (in US) and December holidays? I get to visit my sister this month! Yeah! See you soon, Michele!

OK, was I even on this cruise? I didn't see half of this food even on the menu. I would have loved the lobster claws, I guess I should have eaten at more of the buffets! We booked the 16th of August on the Dream and boy is that board a rockin'. Here is the picture that was taken of our meet with my camera.

If anyone got a better one please post it, I'm starting my scrapbook next week. Meryll, your wedding photos are beautiful! Looks like you guys had a great time.

Hello all!

can't believe I've been back to work over a week... still going through my pix and 'wonder'ing how soon I can afford to book the next cruise! LOL

Thank you for the WONDERFUL FE gifts! Alyssa looked forward to stopping by the cabin a few times a day to see what had arrived.

She had a blast and is patiently awaiting for me to let her know when I'm booking the next one! LOL It was awesome meeting everyone and I hope we'll be able to catch up again on future cruises!

I'm also on FB -- Michele Hynes from NJ and I have a lot of pix posted there...

I, too, have been checking in here and am glad to see we're all still on here!

Take care and tty all soon!
