    Best marker pen to use for Pillowcase Autographs?

    I used brand new sharpies in the colors I wanted. Basically primary colors. Some faded when washed but I embroidered over the signatures so it made a cool effect.

    What is your favorite FE gift you ever recieved?

    I don't know who did it, but someone put in a little Mickey Captain figure in our FE. They sell them on the ship so, I don't know if they purchased him early or waited till they got on board. I have looked at him for over 2 years.

    hmm... autograph book or pillowcase?

    The photo mats that I saw on our cruise were great! I did the pillowcase and thought the mats were wonderful We even saw a sailor cap signed.

    1st Timers ?'s

    I'd say go for a room close to your children's kids clubs. Then you can simply go up or down to check on them. We have always been on Deck 2 of the Magic for that reason. Go to your Cruise Meets thread and go to your cruise to sign up for the FE list. If they don't have one yet, you can create...

    What happens if you are sick

    We went early March on the Magic and there was lots of coughing. If it is a virus and they know they will confine you to your cabin. Not fun and not reimbursed. I have a fear of the stomach flu the night before and always buy insurance just in case. I would rather not board than have to miss...

    travel books or e-book options?

    I have a nook and am used to ebooks. Love them. But I purchased a paper Passporters DCL Guide. There is so much information on all the ships and ports. I loved highlighting our ports and out ship information. I would imagine with an ebook, there would be alot of scrolling to get to the right...

    Animators Palette? Location? Feel More Movement On Ship?

    We felt it in AP and Parrot Cay. But the place we felt it the most was in the theater in the front of the ship. I think the curtains moving emphasized it alittle more. For that reason, we always sat in an aisle seat just in case. But, after the first few nights, it wasn't a bother.

    Dining time questions

    Our late dining seemed to be out about 10. It started at 8:15. We went to the early show and DS left the meal about 9 each night to do other things.

    Suggestions for Key West??

    We were just there and loved the Conch Train. It went all over and our guide was very informative. Then we just walked around a bit. I think kids will like it for the ride and adults for the information.

    pillowcases- questions!

    I can see the confusion, I mean it is afterall just a pillowcase. But, it is cool too and FREE. I think the neat thing about them is the surprise of seeing who's signatures you received on the last night. I stitch a chain stitch over the signatures so they are permanent. I used the sharpies and...

    pillowcases- questions!

    Put them all in the same bag, nothing would be worse than getting 2 back and having one go astray. At least in the same bag you might get all 3. I put in a little candy just to sweeten the signing. Toss the yellow one, black one and the brown one. (I used sharpies, your colors may be different)...

    Best freebies on the cruise line?

    No one mentioned the Pillowcase signing. Just put a white pillowcase, new sharpie pens and turn it in at Guest Relations. They also will sign a photo mat. On this weeks cruise we also noticed a white sailor cap signed. It sure is better than getting the autographs from each character. I think...

    Thank you everyone for the wonderful FE gifts! It was terrific finding little surprises all thru the cruise. Y'all are so creative! My house is rolling like the ship too. I think I remember it takes about 3 days for the ocean to stop moving. Hope everyone has a safe trip home! The Overly's Gulf...

    Cruise secrets that DCL doesn't tell you

    My guess is that one person is signing. Afterall, Mickey's signature is the same in any park you are in regardless of who is in the suit. I think they must be trademarked. I add candy anyway. It's a nice gesture for a free item.

    formal night?

    Don't worry, Disney makes it easy! When you get to your room there is a little packet with your dining rotation. It has where you eat the first night and so forth. The first night in each dining room is when the show goes on. There is a pirate night and a formal night also. They are the same for...

    Just checking, my last FE list has 12 cabins, right? So who else it packed and ready to go? See y'all at the sail away party!

    Our last cruise we didn't even eat breakfast on the ship. They do disembark in "areas", by the time we got up (you have to pack the night before and put your bags out) it was time to leave and we drove 8 hours home that day. Be sure to do your homework on the Space Center. There's a cheesy place...

    Splitting up at the port --do we have to check in all together?

    You will want to wait for him even if they let you board separately. There are lots of activities going on in the cruise terminal so you won't be bored while you wait. There is a pre cruise photo that is fun to pretend to look haggard in. The after cruise photo is so fun because you are all...

    formal night?

    You will have the same servers. If you know you won't be at dinner the next night it is nice to stop by and tell them, so your other tablemates aren't waiting for you to show up. Or you can just tell the others to tell your servers. We usually find out their cabin the first night so it is easy...

    Passports for kids?

    I follow Passporter's guidelines, they STRONGLY ENCOURAGE everyone to have a full passport and have it on you at all excursions. It is your identification. If there is any need to "fly home" due to anything. Accident, illness, weather, whatever, you can only do it with a passport. You can't...
