Jumping in - tentatively- I have to wait to book (CM). Hoping this will be our first cruise EVER! A little bummed though that the kids won't get to do fun things like Fish Extenders and such. Do you think they will notice and feel left out?

Hi, I hope you get to join us. Why can't you be part of the Fish extender? We do still have it open until May 1st, if you could join. I don't know if there are rules against that. This is my first cruise too and we don't have kids, so I don't know if the kids would notice. But we are trying to make this FE as fun as possible, we do also have a facebook page if you want to join us there.

I guess I just assumed it was already closed. I'm hoping I will know by May 1st then for sure, but CM bookings can sometimes be a month out from what I understand. I would LOVE to join if possible!

Am I reading this right? Do we potentially have Disney royalty among us? goofyredraider.
Welcome a board
Having to wait to book would kill me. I like to plan our vacations and the uncertainty would be more than I could bear. Course if the rates were right I could make an exception.

Rapunzel the group is filling in nicely. It has taken awhile, I can remember when there was just a few couples and wandering if this group was going to flop. Once again thanx for the time and energy you are putting into this.

Yep, we may have Disney Royalty with us and that would be so cool, I hope goodyraider gets to join us

Thanks wfdiaff, we have really come a long way, so we are at 17 firm families and we have less than 80+ days to go till trip. May 1st will decide if we need to split up the groups and at that time I will ask for which day you would like to sign up for . Happy Saturday

Welcome aboard, I will add all the info soon.
We have not planned a meet and greet but some of us have talked about meeting. Glad you are here

LOL y'all are funny!
I, too, am a planner....right now I have a plan A, B, and C.
We will be flying to WDW before the cruise (already booked and paid for)...just ready to add the sea part! The wait is killing me, but I have to be patient. Something I am not necessarily good at!

Ok, so I added all the info to the list, do we have any favorite characters? Also are anyone's ears pierced. As soon as you know the room #s let us know.

Also to the group, the meet n greet, if everyone is interested, I was thinking we could meet during sail away party on one of the higher decks, just a thought.
I know that this is a vacation, so you do not have to attend, but could be fun. Let me know your thoughts, group. Can't wait for the trip

 

[RapunzelFloyd]

Just to keep everyone in the loop, we now officially have 20 groups Wow, we have grown!
Anyways now once we hit cut off, we will determine best way to split groups or if groups should be created (depending on how many more sign up in April)

If anyone is interested in joining and hasn't already plus let me know. Cutoff is May 1st. So Excited!!

 

[RapunzelFloyd]

Right now we have 20 groups (pending Daphne Schilling VanBuren's family joining.)
What this means for everyone: There are at least 19 gifts for each family to give (unless you want to gift yourself .)
You can choose to give:
• 19 cabin gifts
• 19 cabin gifts and then gifts for each person (or each couple)
• you can do a gift for each person and no cabin gift

This is up to you to decide what you are comfortable with.
The gifts do not have to be something big, they can be as simple as candy or stickers. They can be handmade or store bought (just not handmade food, Disney rule.)
Once we have our final amounts I will be taking commitments to dates you will be delivering your gifts.
This means that you will commit to one day (anytime you chose) to drop off gifts.
I will break the days down as follows
Day 1- June 15th
Day 2- June 16th
Day 3- June 17th (pirate night)
Day 4- June 18th (final night)
You are welcome to deliver on more than one day but that is all your choice.

I want everyone here to have fun and enjoy not to get stressed and not enjoy their vacation. If this is not happening, please let me know if there is anything we can do to help or if for some reason you no longer feel this is for you, let me know.
For those you want to do this and are not signed up cut off is May 1st, make sure I have all your info.

What I will need:
Family Name:
Room #:
Adult Names:
Children's names and ages:
Likes:
Celebrations:
Allergy/special needs:
Pierced ears:
Whether your girls like girly things or not (to ensure that they get something they will enjoy as gifts)
Anyone on the list and still wanting to participate please check the files and make sure your info is correct.
Everyone lets get back to having fun and getting excited about the trip. We have less than 74 days to go Woo hoo!!

 

[runfasterandfaster]

Just checked in yesterday! The time is flying by. I can't believe how big the group has gotten. I am slowly gathering supplies for my gifts.

I know, the group has really come together. A bunch of us did check in too, got everything I wanted, so very happy. I am getting stuff together too, luckily still have a little time

So we're booked and all, but I was looking forward to working on my FE stuff this afternoon only to be reminded that we have pictures to be taken for ballet this afternoon. And, with four kids in ballet, that's going to take all afternoon. Ah, well, I will just have to dream about it and stress that we only have 69 days left to get it all done before setting sail!

On the bright side, I have one of the six pockets done for our FE and only 69 days left before meeting all of y'all in person!

PS: I would have posted this in the FB group, but those posts get put on my wall and then the ballet people--many of whom are not Disneyphiles--might get their feelings hurt.
