Magic ~ 1/12/2013

This is all of our first times for the FE. I posted some links in one of the earlier comments that tells about it, and gives some gift ideas. Are you interested in doing it?
 
Yay. I asked my friend to send me an email on how to set up the spread sheet for this. I guess if it only ends up being a couple of us, wont be to bad. We need to decide when the cut off for people to join will be. I have never done the FE, but my group did this last cruise and they had a cut off of a month before. I think this makes sense, especially with Christmas coming up. What do you guys think? Maybe we can say December 1st as cut off.

The December 1st cutoff seems reasonable to allow time for folks to prepare homemade gifts. Please keep us posted on what information you'll need for the spreadsheet. I'm excited to get started!:yay:
 
I will need your name, name of people in your cabin. Ages and boy or girl for the children. Your cabin #. Dis screen name, and your email address so that I can send out the completed list. Our cut off for the list will be Dec 1st, so that everyone has time to get their gifts together. If you have any suggestions or input, please feel free to let me know. Thank you so much.

I woke up in the middle of the night, and thougt it wasn't very smart to have all of our info on this open forum. I know I am probably more paranoid than I need to be, but probably just the mom in me. I will pm you guys my email address, so you can send me the info. Thanks so much.
 


This will be our first family cruise and we are super excited! It will be myself & husband 36, and our 16 & 11 year old girls. We would love to do the FE with everyone! Looking forward to getting to know some people before we go!
 
I think our family (girls 14,11,6) would love to participate in the FE. Someone will have to give me some better details because I don't think I truly understand the whole thing. Looking forward to itl:)
 
I've e-mailed my family's info! Just wondering... do we give gifts for each person in each family everyday? I just want to make sure I'll be doing this right, although it sounds like this is a first-time thing for most of us! :)
 


I was under the impression it was one per cabin kind of gift or 1 for the adults and maybe 1 for kids?

I got your info and added it to the list. I think it is totally up to the individual. I see some people do a gift for everyone, and some do a group gift. I am going to wait closer to the December 1st cutoff to see how many people are in our group. If it stays small, I think I will do one for each of the kids, then probably a group gift. I know we are excited about doing it, and will appreciate whatever we gift. Just my opinion.

I tried sending you a pm, but for some reason it did not accept. Please send me your Room # and floor, The names of the people in your cabin, and the age and gender of kids. Your last name. If anyone is celebrating anything. Your Dis name, and your email address. Thanks, Jessica

I just sent you an email with my info. Thanks you for taking care of this!
 
I too would like to join, although I'm not good at homemade items, I do love to shop for gifts & I think I would do a good job. My girl will be 3.5 on Christmas, my mom is making a fish extender for us. I was planning on only having a pocket for her, but should I make one for us? Do some people just have ones for their child(ren). I sent my info the email.
 
Ok we are for sure booked!!! Put the money down!! So where is everyone coming from? We are in Minnesota and we saw some snow this morning so really looking forward to the Caribbean in Jan! :beach:
 
I have everyone's information put in. We are up to 7 rooms. Yay! I think I will be kind of excited if it stays small. I know by January, you will be ready to leave Minesotta. We are probably the closest to Galveston, we live in League City. It takes about 25 minutes to get to the port from my house. If anyone has any questions about Galveston, flying into Houston, or anything else you might need help with, just let me know. So looking forward to our trip.
 
Hey y'all! First time poster and first time cruiser! My DH, 4 yo DD, and me will be on this cruise!! We are so excited! I'd love to join in on the FE fun, but I'm a little worried because of budget constraints! What sort of items do people gift?
 
I was thinking of homemade gifts to maybe cut down on costs. I'm not sure about everyone else. Welcome to the board!
 
From what I have read on here, there seems to be a big variation in the gifts. Some not so expensive to really extravagant. I think as long as people put thought into their gift, that is all that matters. I am going to try to make some of our gifts to cut down on costs. If you do decide that you would like to do th FE, please send me your info to the email above.

Thanks,
Jessica
