Fantasy 12/3/16 Christmas season with the Mouse!!

[RedwineFamily]

So, let me ask this of the folks on this list...I'd be happy to start breaking into FE groups...should we???
If so, we'll need to consider a check in with some of the earlier posters....
Let me know what you think...
Thanks!
Barb
PS...I am good with handling the details...love the planning!

Go ahead and add my family to the FE list. Being back on DISboards is making me excited for it again. We are in room 6620........ Thanks so much for doing all this

I am fine with any way you decide to make the lists. There are ups and downs to doing it both ways, so put me in the "neutral" category.

I just read through all the posts, and the rollcall list......I am so excited!! My son is going to be in heaven with all the boys around his age! Our last cruise had mostly teenagers and itty-bitties in the group.

Are any of the boys Start Wars fanatics like mine is?

Also, for anyone with little girls I was wondering if we would want to do a Doll Gift Exchange. We were on the Panama Canal cruise in May and someone set it up and it was a lot of fun. It is sort of of like a FE just for the girls and their dolls. Each mom signed up for a different item to bring. Some of the gifts were matching hair bows for the girl and doll, matching jewelry, a photo album personalized with the girl and doll's name, and even doll Mickey food among others! We limited the size of the group so it would not be too overwhelming. I would be more than happy to set this up if anyone is interested. On the last cruise we even all got together with the girls and their dolls for ice cream on a Sea Day which was a lot of fun. Our daughter's American Doll goes everywhere with us and it truly feels like she is part of our family.

If we do set up a girl exchange I could also set up a boy one. On the last cruise they set up an exchange for the brothers in the group and they chose to make it a Star Wars/Avengers theme so they would not be left out.

Just let me know if anyone is interested.

I would love to do both the girl and boy list, if you are still planning it. Sounds like fun! My daughter will be 11 next month, but she just got her first American Girl for Christmas. She is totally obsessed with anything that can be doll sized, LOL!! I love the dolly ice cream social idea, as well. Too cute! My son is all about Star Wars right now, so the boy list will fit him perfectly.

I like the idea of organizing now. I know things may change but it will give us ahead start.

Hi! My name is Michelle and this will be our second cruise on the Disney Fantasy! Just stumbled upon all the FE stuff etc...may not be able to participate as we are flying in from Canada. But we would love to be added to the roll call and meet everyone here!!! Our group consists of my mother Brenda (who is in her 60's), myself Michelle (38) and my twin daughters Faith and Hope. We will be celebrating their 13th birthday while on the cruise! (Actual BDay is Dec 27) Our cabin is 12020, and I am so excited to see some of my "stateroom neighbours" here

Hi,
I like having the FE split into smaller groups say 10-12 (IMO) as I find it easy to handle as we fly and luggage space can get tight. I do understand people may drop out etc as plans change but it usually isn't too many to update.

However, with all that being said, I am going with the flow...just let me now..I already have some ideas for my FE gifts.

 

[Mrslissaaa]

That sounds great to me. I also have ideas for FE gifts.

 

[professorandmom]

Go ahead and add my family to the FE list. .

I added you to the roll call with the FE indicator

Welcome to the group...I added you to the roll call

 

[professorandmom]

Here is where we stand: there are 23 cabins who have indicated that they would like to do the FE exchange. However, some folks haven't logged in for a long time so its hard to know if they will still take the cruise. Do you think folks will log in after the paid in full date to let us know if they aren't going???
OK, how about this approach: let's set a first FE group with the last 12 folks who have logged in...then we can try to nail down the other groups closer to paid in full....I think this could backfire if many folks change their mind but, hey, as long as we keep in mind the FE lists may change...

I am not trying to make decisions for the group - instead throwing out an idea for us to discuss!

 

[professorandmom]

FE Group Storm Troopers:

1. updated.....

CAUTION: the FE lists will likely CHANGE as folks decide not to cruise...we have set the deadline for FE lists as Sept 1 - when lists will be finalized...

 

[professorandmom]

FE Group Christmas Cruisers:

1. updated

CAUTION: the FE lists will likely CHANGE as folks decide not to cruise...we have set the deadline for FE lists as Sept 1 - when lists will be finalized...

You might be in our new group: Caribbean Carolers here

I feel it would be good to start breaking in to groups if you're up for the task At least this way everyone will have an idea, even if it changes at least we have a starting point!

Oops I see my group now Thanks!

 

[Twinmommichelle]

Hi everyone! We would like to be part of an FE group....even if I have to "finish off " everything once we are stateside...I think it will work. I am so glad to have found this, it is great to see so many others as excited about this as I am. Also, my girls are allergic to latex and Band-Aids.

 

[VallCopen]

So I don't see our 2 families (VallCopen and Vallcopen 2) in a group? Do I just need to confirm? We are paid in full, so we will be there for sure...can't wait!

Sorry for the confusion. So, when I made the roll call list (on page 2) unless someone said a specific "yes" to FE, I didn't put FE on the roll call..I didn't want to assume...in your case, I guessed wrong or missed a post where you said "yes"
No worries, I'll fix it right now.

Would you like to be in the same FE group or in different ones?
