I'm already in super planning mode for this cruise, so I thought I'd start this cruise meet thread off! This will be the second Disney Cruise for my husband and I, our first being our honeymoon aboard the Dream in October 2015. We loved the Fish Extender so much for that cruise, and I decided to be proactive and organize one for this cruise!
We are planning to participate in the Castaway Cay Challenge after finishing the Disney Marathon the Sunday before.
If you think of something I should include in this intro post, let me know. See you all on the seas!!
