Welcome to all of you!! So excited to see our group keep growing!

For the FE, you will fill in the info in the boxes that are on the sheet. Room # if known... If you don't know yet thats fine also! Then the names of all in the cabin, and ages or mom, dad ect! Then the # of adults, and # of kids... There is a boy count and girl for names such as Jordan that could be both! To make it easier on all!

Can't wait to meet all in April!

Well I went from a super high to a super low. I was so excited about this trip and itineray! As it turns out the dates of this trip don't work for the other half of our group.

We're looking at October now. Different itinerary (not as good) and kids don't sail free. Boo. Oh well. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Bon Voyage! And have a great trip!!!
p.s. I'm super jealous! You all are going to have such a great time!!!! After looking at all of the itineraries, I can't think of a better one!

We also picked the 715 am MK bus and an 11 am PAT.

Traffic on a Friday morning is going to be terrible! I'd like to arrive as early as possible just in case a paid port upgrade is available so I guess we'll have to leave home by 7 am.

Speaking of port upgrades, how will FE handle any late cabin changes? We have a gty so can change even last minute, even if no port upgrades are available. Do we just do notes with new cabin # in people's FE with our FE gifts? If it makes it too difficult, we can bow out of the FE list.

we are planning a meeting friday 3pm to announce any cabin changes. I will also have a dry erase board where anyone can make changes to their cabin...and all changes will be listed. Several people dont know their cabins yet..so no need to drop out.

Will the white board be on your cabin door in case we can't make it to the Friday meet?

Yes it will and my cabin wont change.

And everyone is free to post on the FE spreadsheet themselves.

Well crew, we're punching out of this cruise. We'll be heading down to Puerto Rico in March instead, then sailing on the first Wonder out of Galveston in September.

Fair seas, y'all. Enjoy the trip.

I'm thinking we'll want to check cabin numbers before we start delivering, just to make sure no one has changed!

Cruisecrasher, unfortunately I'm not seeing my posting, regarding my request to add nchurchill (Nancy, Stacey, Loring & Laney) to your Roll Call. I also have us signed up for the FE under group 3.

Where do we find updates on the FE, Meet & Greet, etc.? I'm not on Facebook, sorry. Also, do you have any suggestions on finding a FE (locally, in Houston?). I Googled it and found displays on doors...what are individuals using to decorate their metal doors, misc. magnets? Oh, so many questions.

I'm trying to get my hands around how the posts work...appears to be by topic, not by cruise date like on Cruise Critic board whereas you can easily follow the daily threads???

On the April 26th cruise out of Galveston, I would like some insight as to what others will be doing in Key West and tips for those traveling with children under 3 who are not able to participate in the kid clubs. I see there's complimentary babysitting on the Castaway Cay, which will be some welcome free time for adult play as well. Not sure if you have to make advance reservations - does anyone know?

Many thanks for helping me get started. First cruise with children so I want to be prepared and as informed as possible.

Nancy

I'm surprised I haven't ran into this yet. Wait.... maybe I have but didn't realize it because there was an FE from someone else.

Hello all! Little late to join but we just paid our booking off. *whew*. Sorry for my ignorance, but what's a FE?


Anyhow, my wife & I live close to Galveston in Friendswood and are bringing our two boys (12 & 7) for our first ever Disney Cruise...both my sons first cruise ever! Can't wait!
