'Wonder'ing to Alaska 9-night Cruise 7/24/17

[Shanti]

FYI air fares from LAX are low now but are about to rise. Got $250 round trip.

How do you know that they're about to rise?

Kayak, it went up a few dollars today.

They are one boy and one girl.

I realized that I never responded to this. Yeah to the at least one boy, because we will be on board with our son, who turns 10 at the end of May! He often likes to ditch his sister, who just turned 7 this week, so if you think you'll sign him up for the kids' club let me know!

Hi all! Looking forward to this trip, which I'll be taking with my husband, then 10 year old son and then 7 year old daughter. This is our 2nd Disney cruise, and I have cruised many times but never to Alaska, so I'm super excited that Disney offered this itinerary to the glacier. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!!

I am coming from Philadelphia and have been using an app called Hopper. It's telling me to book now, because it's "unlikely" to get any lower.

Hey guys, would anyone be interested in doing a DIS FE group? I know there is at least one on another site but if there was enough interest there's no reason we couldn't do one here. I'd be happy to coordinate (unless someone else wants to).

 

[lilmissfoodie]

What's FE? It's not in the list of acronyms. TIA

 

[MamaBear58]

We are sailing too!! It will be me, DH, DS (9 at time of sailing), DD (7 at time of sailing) and DD (5 at time of sailing). We are so excited, but also trying to stomach the cost of it, in a deluxe oceanview with verandah!!! At least we got our OBB discount! This will be our 4th DCL Cruise. We have done 2 4 nights on the Dream, and 1 7 night on the Fantasy. We live in Atlanta, and plan to fly into Vancouver 2-3 nights before and explore Vancouver a little! So any suggestions for what to do in Vancouver would be great!

I have a DS (10 at time of sailing) and DD (7 at time of sailing), so we might want to get them together!

 

[MamaBear58]

We are PIF!! Looking forward to planning with all of you...awaiting acceptance into the Facebook group!

Fish Extender. It's something you hang on the little fish statue thing outside your door and if a group forms you can exchange gifts with others. You can read about them here.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get accepted into the Facebook group for this cruise? Thanks.

It took me 3 days I think?

Thanks...my DD was aware of that and if it were offered, I think she'd be interested (she'll be 12 on the trip).

Okay that's two. We probably need a few more to hold a group. Anyone else interested?

I booked my Butchart Gardens tour with Landsea. It's a little more than Viator but this tour offered 1.5 hrs longer at Butchart so that gave me plenty of time to make a tea reservation. Looking forward to trying Battenburg cake.

 

[MamaBear58]

still waiting to get added to Facebook group. Is it active? Should I start a new one?

 

[lilmissfoodie]

It takes a while to get accepted. It's much more active than here.

 

[Anisum]

It is but it also means sharing so much more personal information online. That's why I ended up leaving the group.

Hey guys... if anyone signed up for the ornament exchange, the groups have posted in the other place. I'm waiting for some updates and I wasn't sure if some were lurking here. If you're in the FB group and haven't been there in awhile, consider checking your messages please. It's PIF day!

I saw someone share a picture of their online itinerary after check in today. I was showing a Pirate night on Day 6 in Ship Activities. Any Platinums in here that can confirm that?
