Just a heads up....I read on the other site that they may stop doing that on the ships very soon. Storage of the items, plus the time it takes for the characters to sign is getting just too much for them to handle. Makes sense if you think about it. Especially on the 3 and 4 day cruises. The dream has room for 4000 people....if even half of those leave something to sign, that is 2000 items to store and sign! They said DCL hasn't made it official yet, but when they do it will be all of a sudden. After reading the post I have decided just to opt for an autograph book or item for the meet and greets only.

I'm looking at this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/119487248/5-pocket-fish-extender-for-disney-cruise and also this shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/DoodadsWithCharacter. I will check out the shop you got yours from too, thanks!

Bullfrogs and Butterflies is the one I chose. I thought her price was great and could easily see myself spending that much or more if I made it. We tend to prefer land based vacations (well that and bareboat charters thanks to my hubby's love of sailing) so more than likely will not do another Disney cruise. For that reason I didn't want to spend too much and it appeared she had the best value for the price.

Did you click the link she posted above? I clicked it and it took me straight to the fish extenders. It is the first link she posted.

Hey you are right there with me I received the last of Jase's Disney shirts this afternoon He is all packed (except shorts, under clothes, and shoes)... Now my stuff on the other hand will be packed the week before

Yep! I will just have to grab underwear, shoes, and shorts for the girls and they will be all set. To be fair, I bought all their shirts for really cheap and I set them aside so that they would stay nice for the cruise. They also won't wear their pirate costumes, formal dresses with shoes, and princess dresses till the cruise. So all of that is packed up and waiting for September. I won't pack my stuff till the week before because I'm packing things that I'm wearing all summer.

I am also bringing a separate suitcase for my FE gifts. My mom and I are hoping to fit all of our FE gifts in one suitcase. It should work. We are driving, so not a big deal for us to have the extra bag!

Is there a place to find out which characters will be on our cruise?

There isn't a list that we can be sure about yet. As it gets closer, we can look at Dream 4 night navigators and have a pretty good idea who will be on our cruise. There is a list on Disney Cruise's website of characters that are typically on all cruises to give you a rough idea.

Thanks yall I'm debating on theirs or one with more pictures to monogram on them I don't think we would use it to many more times but the Disney faces ones are so cute (my hubby thinks I'm crazy maybe just a little for Disney)
Also for the veterans what is your opinion/advice for kids shirts to wear on the cruise (you know the monogrammed ones) my kids are Ethan 7 Chloe 5 so thinking about it but wondered if they would be in their swimsuits more and where they would wear them

It all depends if they are going to be in their clubs most of the time or what? Keep in mind that the pools on the ship are very small and that's why us veterans call it "Kids Soup" because there is NO room. If they are going to be in the clubs make sure they are comfortable clothes because they will be doing activities and this being a Halloween cruise there is even more activities going on.
