Super early easter april 19, 2014 fantasy cruise!

:goodvibes Mixology has reached 40 people. There are more people asking to join so I have no doubt that the class will be split! haha maybe I'll join both...lol:rotfl2:
 
Please add us to cruiser and FE lists, just got around to looking up the group on DISboards. We booked the first day it was available for Silver CC. This will be our 4th cruise. Wonder 2004 (1yr Anniversary), Dream 2011 (WDW Radio cruise 1.0), Fantasy 2013 (Easter), Magic booked for podcast cruise 5.0 in December 2014. I went to DISapalooza in December so I may have seen some of you. We have pre/post stays at AKL, our first time staying there so we're getting really excited!>)

If I could know around the 3rd, no later than the 4th. I hope to work on it on the evening of the 4th.
 

Hi Kathy,

Just one group for our two cabins, please.

Thank you for doing all this work!!

Yay! We are PIF!! Now the real countdown begins... Unfortunately we had to opt out of the FE, but it sounds like it's going to be great! We are still in for the Meet Up and I'm definitely in for the Mixology. Hope everyone up North like us is staying warm :) Can't wait, only 77 days to go...
 
I got the PM, so you did it just fine.



I am putting some information about FE at the bottom of this post. It is a combination of stuff that I have collected over the years. As soon as you get to the 10 posts, PM me your info and once I send you the list, you can make the decision if you want the whole list or to be split.



We usually rent a car at WDW and drive to the port and turn it in there, but this time my DH did not want to mess with that and is opting to spend a little more to go on the Disney transport so that he does not have to worry with the luggage and all. It is a little more money, but not that bad and he is happy.



The list will probably be split into 3 to get to the smaller number that most of the splits want, so I guess since some want to be on all lists, you could choose to be on 2 of the 3. I will be doing the final numbers as soon as the 4th gets here, and I will let everyone know.



I have only had one person in all my FE groups that put a FE on each room (unless there were two families in the group in each room), but there is nothing that says you have to only have one. But as for me, depending on how I package my stuff, I will only deposit into one of the FE's. That is just me, but I wanted to put it out there.

Now for the FE info. The delivery and amount of gifts is up to you and your budget. Any specific questions, please let us know and one of us will most probably have an answer.


FE Information:

As an extra answer to the FE questions, I am giving a list of quite a few threads I have collected over the year which I have found answer quite a few questions and give a LOT of information. But feel free to question any of us and I am sure someone will have an answer.

It is totally up to you how the gifts are done. Some do a stateroom gift, others do something for the kids in the room along with something special for the adults - the only limit is your budget. Please don't worry if it is not much. I have received many different things from bookmarks, magnets, themed cups and coseys (those things that can go around a canned drink) and little bags of various candies. I have also received things that people have done that were state specific and also country (some past cruises have included new friends from Canada).

I have found a lot of threads on the DIS that give great ideas for the FE and gifts plus magnets.
These are the ones I follow and believe me there is a lot of great pictures and information. Be prepared to spend a lot of time on these.

This one is called Homemade FE Gifts (Part 2)

These are two individual posts that give the basic concept behind the FE and the directions for the no-sew FE. I have made 4 and pretty much followed the directions with a few modification to suit me. Any questions please let me know and I will try to help.

This is a great one for magnets and milliepie (one of the disigners) is great! (She is due to start her own thread soon, so I don't have that yet, but there are a lot of disigners out there) She has done a few for me.

This one is the Creative Disigns thread which has a lot of disigners that do a lot more than magnets. But most of the disigners give their photobucket accounts and such that you can go look at and get ideas and other things.

I know I have overloaded you here and don't think you have to read all of them. It took me a while to find them all, so save them for future use, and I hope it answers some of your questions.

Again, to the group and I look forward to getting to know you and everyone else in our group!

Katy
hope you got my pm. We have two rooms but will be doing 1 FE as a family.
 
This is our first Disney cruise. we took the kids to Disney about 1 1/2 years ago and resisted the urge to live there indefinitely!!!! that was the best vacation ever. they really know how to do it! we wanted to do something different and thought why not a cruise so here we are!!! I've learned about the fish extenders, still confused on how we join this. if someone could add us to a list or whatever we need to do that would be great. our family consists of me (lisa), jim (husband), nick (10) and Claire (6). we would like to participate in all things FEE. it sounds like a blast!! just started going thru all the posts but since they were started some time ago may take me awhile to figure out what is going on..... any help is appreciated.... I can't wait. :rotfl:
 
so do we just add our names??? totally new to all of this and apparently a late start seeing as how these posts go all the way back to 2012!!!
 
Due to a business trip my husband has to go on we are switching our cruise right now from the Halloween trip this year to the Easter cruise. This will be our 3rd cruise with Disney and our 1st time on the Fantasy. Can't wait!! Our kids are sad about missing the Halloween cruise. But hey instead they will have the fun of Easter and warm weather after crazy winters in WI. :) We have done the FE in the past so would love to be a part of this too. I assume the Facebook page that is up for this cruise is for this same DisBoard forum. I asked to join that group as well. Here is our info. Once I have our stateroom info I will let you know.

Thanks! let the fun begin!
 
Welcome to you all! Here's wishing you a Happy Holiday season :santa:

I have updated the Roll Call on page 1 with the information you have posted. Any changes/additions please PM me and I will be happy to make those for you.

Hyatt MCO Pre-Meet?
We made our reservations for the Hyatt and plan on being poolside on Friday evening. Is there anyone else coming in early and staying at the Hyatt MCO? We've done this in the past and it's a great way to break the ice with other DISers. For that matter, if you all want I could include subgroupings for those of you staying overnight at the various hotels so you'll all have that in one place. Take a look at the bottom of the Roll Call, I'll start it with what I'm familiar with, you guys can post your information or PM to me and I can update it as we go.

Pete

we are staying at this hotel as well. we will definitely be poolside
 
it should be fun. been getting advice from a few friends who have done this and other cruises. I was pm people to try and get on lists but kept getting all these weird messages and after spending 3 hours this morning going thru all the posts have found out they might not have gotten the messages because I need to post 10 times.... who made that rule??? well i'm getting started on my 10;)
 
we are looking at doing the underwater excursion with the butterfly tour. I think we will take things slow as this is the first cruise and try and get our heads around this whole thing. thanks for all the tips. wish I know about this board when we booked the cruise last year!!!
