Unfortunately, we had to cancel this cruise because DH's work is moving us to another state this summer. If someone wants to take over this thread, let me know and I will edit my post to include your screen name so others will know who is taking control.

It’s driving me crazy that there isn’t a thread started for this cruise yet. I know it’s super early. Someone else is welcome to take over the thread but maybe someone else here is waiting for someone to start a thread. I know there is something for this cruise on another social media but I won’t go there.

It will be DH, DD12 and I and another couple who are good friends of ours. I am excited but it’s such a long way off. It will be our fourth Disney Cruise.

Anyone else going?

We are! I'm very excited for 8 nights rather than the typical 7 night Caribbean cruises. Also excited to try two ports which will be new for us.
 
LCoulter, you are right, it's still VERY early but DW and I are as excited about this upcoming 8-day as we have been about our past five. We did a five-night (CC double-dip) last June on the Dream. This is our first Halloween cruise but have been on two Merrytime cruises. Hoping this will not disappoint. This will also be our first eastern Carribean cruise and are looking forward to this adventure.

We are going on a Merrytime cruise this year and am excited. Looking forward to the gingerbread house making. How did you like the Merrytime cruise?

I love the Eastern islands....they are so beautiful!

How nice about doing the double dip, I would love that.

The Merrytime cruise is a lot of fun. Ship decorated to the nine's and cast and characters dressed appropriately. We enjoyed the two we have been on.
 
I've just booked this cruise! I will also be sailing on the EBPC on Nov 8 2019, and had been dying to sail on the Fantasy again, so why not :)

So you are sailing our cruise followed by a cruise in Nov? How nice! What is EBPC?
 
We have friends boarding the Fantasy this Saturday, and they have the money to book our 2019 cruise while onboard!!!! We. Cannot. Wait. I have seriously had a countdown on my phone since we decided on this itinerary 2 months ago. We took our first DCL cruise in 2014. We gave been to the parks since then, but not another cruise. Love doing Halloween on the High Seas, and we are looking forward to 8 nights and new destinations!!!

It is fun cruising with friends or family! How exciting that they are booking this weekend to join you! Our last couple of cruises has been just us. We used to cruise with family but they haven't been able to join us in recent years.

The best part about THESE friends? We met via a FB group for our 2014 cruise with DCL! They live closeby and have become our besties since then. We are godparents to their children. We tell folks we thank God and Mickey for briniging them into our lives! pixiedust:
 
Never too early to start a meet thread. The one on social media started the first day bookings opened and is now up to 400 members.
 
It's sad that these meet threads have very few posts and members. I don't want to do other social media, mostly because there are a few people that I don't want to know that I'm going on vacation. Also don't want to broadcast to the entire neighborhood that we will be away.

I am in agreement with this but it seems that with over 400 members on the Facebook thread now there a lot of the cruise participants that don't feel this way. I have fun reading the comments made but I have to say, with a little under one year left I just cannot get as excited about the October 2019 cruise as others seem to be. I'll be hanging around here and hope we can share some thoughts and questions with others along the way. But I am guessing that if a fish extender exchange or mixology class is something you want to do, you will need to be doing it on the Facebook page.

It is too far off to get excited, I agree, just momentary excitement about booking it, now my thoughts are on other things. I am on another meet thread for a cruise that is a couple weeks away and there are only three of us that are active on the thread but we got the thread up to 9 pages. Of course the FB group is huge. I don't have time for fish extenders.
 
...snip... I don't have time for fish extenders.
we did a FE on a cruise a few years ago. We found that it became a distraction for us (two adults only) so we have decided that it would be best to skip them in future trips. Last summer we took the grand kids and thought about getting them involved but in the end we passed and I don't think they missed it.

I'm looking forward to the Captain reception thing. Right after we made Gold they changed the rules to a cruise over 7 nights. So with this 8 nighter, we'll finally get to see the reception. I know it's probably not much but still want to see it since it's something DCL related that I've not experienced. Looking forward to seeing y'all on board and at the Royal Beach Casino in the St. Kitts Marriot.

Looking forward to the reception as well. Probably the first sea day? Forget the casino though. Not into that activity as much as I use to be.

Hi, we just got off the ship this morning we were on the fantasy 7 night. I booked this cruise while on the ship and we are already so excited! This will be our fifth disney cruise but we have never done FE so I want to do it on the next cruise. I am new to this board and FE so any advice will help.

If you have Facebook you can find a group for the October 2019 cruise. They have all sorts of FE groups going for all sorts of items. I think that will be your best option to get into an FE. Just go to groups, search for the October 19, 2019 cruise, ask to become a member (over 400 currently sighed up) and once the administrators approve, you can go to all the fun things that they have set up. I liked the days when we did that kind of stuff here on the DIS boards but it seems that Facebook has taken over that function.
