I am no longer volunteering for any activities related to this thread. Enjoy your cruise!Hi! I'm Leona and we're booked on this cruise. It's me, my husband and my son will be 10 at the time. We're taking my husband's parents on their first cruise to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. This will be our 4th cruise but the first time on the Dream. I have organized Fish Extenders and a few other activities onboard on other groups, so I can put together the FE if you like.
FE organizers generally need to know how many people (adults/children) are participating in each cabin. Other information you would like to share such as first names, ages of child participants, allergies, favorite characters, etc. is up to you. Other personal information is not really necessary. Those organizing FEs typically ask for the information to be posted in the meet thread or sent to them via PM.
For those posting in this Cruise Meet thread to join a FE, since no one has come forward to organize a FE for this cruise here on the DIS, please feel free to start the FE right in this thread.
There is certainly plenty of time to plan a FE for this cruise. All it takes is for someone to maintain a list of/for those participating which can easily be done in this thread. Cruise Meet threads have been doing it this way for years now here on the DIS. If anyone is interested in doing this, feel free to contact me for some suggestions.
For those who are new with only a few posts, they will not be able to use the PM (conversation) system until they reach 10 posts. You can go to the DIS Technical Support/Test board where you can quickly and easily post some one word (or one letter) posts to get your count up to 10.
Once you have 10 posts, you will be able to send a PM (now called "Conversation"). There will be a link at the upper right on every page to your "Inbox" and you can click on any username and a link to "Start a conversation" will be available. In addition, you will then be able to upload images and have links in your signature. FE lists can be securely sent via conversation or posted right in the thread as many cruise meets have done for years.
There seems to be a good core group right here for a FE. Someone just needs to volunteer to organize the list right in the thread.
I hope this helps!

Hello all! I am on this cruise as well. First timers! Myself, husband and two boys, will be 7 and 9 when we cruise. I may be interested in a FE group but only if it's small (groups of 5, not interest in 10 or above). I just don't want to be consumed with it. Adding a little extra fun would be great, but "little" is my key word! If we don't do one, that's totally cool too!
I just scheduled this cruise this past weekend/ it will be my first cruise and I am sooooo excited. It will be myself (Elana- pronounced E- Lana), my husband, Mike (my high school sweetheart) and our two boys Ethan (will be 8) and Connor (will be 5). We are coming from Minneapolis, Minnesota so I picked this week due to MEA days off and the best week to miss a few days of school I can't believe it's a whole 15 months away but we all know time flies.... ! Oh and we are in the middle of deck 7!

I am a first timer too- boys will be 8 and 5, and also think it sounds great to do a FE but smaller group so I would be interested in doing one with 5
