Disney MAGIC 5 Night Cruise February 26th 2017 (MIAMI)

[BartmanLA]

I didn't see a thread for this trip posted anywhere yet so I thought I could start one, I can co-admin if someone wants to help out, this is going to be a Family Cruise for me (3rd DCL cruise todate) and we're excited about going out on the Magic, as we've only been on The Wonder so far. Please join in and we'll have links and info for this fun trip to Grand Cayman and Castaway Cay!

Well, it's a little early for this thread to really get moving. Especially on shorter cruises, some cruise meet thread don't have a lot of activity.

Also, be aware, links or search directions to other social media sites are not allowed here. Here's the policy (from the stickies on the main Cruise Meet page): http://www.disboards.com/threads/im...uise-meet-and-fish-extender-programs.3353477/

Bring water bottles so you always have something to drink. Start looking into fish extenders and any excursions you would like. If you have any runners you might want to sign up for the Castaway Cay 5k when you get on the ship. Also for the kids, there are some character meet and greets (like Anna & Elsa) that will require a timed ticket. Depending on the cruise you may be able to get them when your window for activity booking opens, otherwise I suggest doing it when you get on the ship. Check out your personal navigator for daily activities and sign the kids up for the kids club the first day...mine LOVE it!! Also when it's time I suggest getting the earliest port arrival time as possible so you can get on the ship early and enjoy it an extra day, get some lunch and enjoy the pool (pack swim suits in your bag you carry on), and get to know your way around a bit. I'm going the day after halloween to get pirate costumes for the family for the pirate party night too. My kids loved the smaller ship and how easy it was to see all the characters. There are also tons of fun daily activities so check the navigator, things like family game shows, building race cars out of potatoes, etc. It's great b/c you can be busy all day, or chill out and relax.

I'm new to the fish extenders sharing. Have been on three cruises on the Dream and haven't participated. Is there an age limit? Limited to only children? Also, any thoughts on the photo pass packages versus taking your own pics? Final question, I've read various Pinterest articles on bringing photo mats, etc. to have characters sign - some say it's been discontinued others say they still do it. Yes? No?

My family of 4, 2 kids ages 11 and 13 are also interested in fish extender. We are cruising with another family of 5, kids ages 10, 12, 14 that are interested as well.

 

[Rebecca blasio]

We would love to get involved in the fish extender program. Does anyone know how to get in on this? Your help is greatly appreciated. The kids will love it.

My family of 5 really wants to do FE. We have three kids ages 19,16,and 13. It looks like we have several families interested in participating in fish extenders. It seems to be small enough that we should be able to keep it one FE group. Who wants to coordinate it? We have participated in one other cruise and one forum member set up a spread sheet with names, ages and gender of the people participating. That way we knew how many people to plan for. Also, we would need to establish some sort of guidelines as to whether each family purchased for every other family or whether we get assigned just one other family. Please comment ASAP so we can coordinate. Thanks!

Another new cruiser family on the Disney Magic, 5 day cruise leaving Miami Sunday 2-26-2017. We have 2 cabins: one for Mom and Dad and another for MamaJan (me the grandmother) and my granddaughter. We also would like to join a Fish Extender program. I am new to forums, blogs and social media in general. We don't get cell phone service where we live (unbelievable, but true) so I am restricted to a landline and email. I have a facebook page but it gets overloaded with so may posts I avoid it unless absolutely necessary. So, suggestions are gladly anticipated and welcome
