Since this our first cruise we are trying park and cruise, we are staying at the Hampton Inn I think our room was 101.00 and that includeds our car being parked at hotel and their shuttle taking us to port.

Allen. My husband and I should be in Fl in time to make 5:00pm at fish lips. That means I have to get up at 5am to be there, hope I can do that..LOL
Julie

That's great. Even if you don't make it @ 5, come on when you can. I'm sure we will be there a while. Y'all are on the list.

Hi, we're booked on the Fantasy for our first ever cruise, excited does not even being to cover it!
There will be me (Emma, 37), my hubby (Peter, 44) and our daughter (Emma Jane, 7) - apologies for the longhand, as I said, first timers!
I've been reading about the Fish Extenders that people take along, how do we join in with this? Also, what sorts of gifts do we need?
If anyone has advice for a team of newbies it'll be much appreciated xx

Welcome, Emma! If this is your first time on a Disney cruise, I'm happy to tell you that you're in for a real treat! I will let someone else answer your question about FEs because I'm a newbie at that myself. But getting presents is never a bad thing, right? See you on the boat!

Hi Emma and welcome!!!
This is my first ever cruise also... Pinterest has info about FE (fish exchange) and the internet too... with great ideas of gifts. Also if you are on facebook we have a site there too... its private so just let me know if you want an invite.. we just say the about the same things there as here, we just can see what everyone looks like on FB. There is also a Fish Exchange on facebook too. If you are in Cocoa Beach the night before the cruise we are meeting there for dinner at 5-?? at fishlips for dinner.
Can't wait to meet you, Julie

 

[OKWfan]

Thanks everyone for making us feel welcome!
We won't make it to the dinner on the 5th I'm afraid, we're staying at Old Key West so will travel to the port on Saturday morning.
We've joined the FE list but can someone confirm that it's just the kids who get the prezzies? I'm off to start Emma Jane's extender

 

[OKWfan]

Yep, please send me an invitation for the FB page xx

Welcome ... from what I can understand, usually it's little gifts for everyone in the cabin unless you decide that Emma Jane will be the only one in your party you would like to participate, thus your FE will only be one pocket instead of one for each person in your family. It also will be our first time ... still have a lot of work to do to get our FE gifts ready ... but it is exciting

 

[OKWfan]

We are first-timers and SO excited!
I've been finding out about the Fish Extenders so now am trying to think what gifts to take with us. Hubby will think I'm mad, but I know it'll be worth it to see my daughter's face arriving back to surprises

You will LOVE the Disney cruise. This is our 2nd disney cruise but
1st time doing the fish extender. I have had a lot of fun getting the gifts and supplies together. My dd12 and I are going to sit down one day next week and put together all of the gifts and make a day out of it. Can't wait to meet ya'll.

Hi everyone,

Sorry but we won't be able to make supper at fish lips. We were really trying to make it work but our friends don't get in until 10pm Friday night so we will be picking them up and heading right for Embassy Suites before an early morning departure to the port.

Thanks for the invite!

Hi Kristy
That's very generous of you!
My husband's fav is Goofy, my daughter likes Minnie and I like Jessie.
I'm looking for ideas for pressies to take with us. As we're travelling from Scotland I'll have to watch out for the extra weight in our bags so that limits the choice a wee bit!
We can't wait to get aboard our very first cruise... EXCITED!!
