Christine and I are having a BALL checking out Oriental Trading !!!They have soooooo many FE ideas !!!!!
I have some really cute ideas that I can't wait to do.
Do you put your name on the gifts or anything that indicates who it is from? or is it a surprise? Is there a way to know where each family or stateroom is from? I was thinking about if I make or bring something that is from Texas, is that important to people? Like I said, just trying to come up with fun ideas.
Thanks!
Hey everyone!!
Exciting news! No, Nemo isn't here yet... any day now really... but I have convinced my grandparents to join us on the cruise!! They had a GREAT time last time, they just felt like it was too short. I haven't booked their cabin yet, but as soon as I do I'll let you know the details for the FE.
YellowRose: I'm from TEXAS (!!) too! We are in DFW and I would love to get Texas themed goodies! Thankfully, I think this weekend I figured out a plan for my FE gifts! WOOHOO!
Has anyone ever reserved a cabana on Castaway? I hear that it will only hold 10 people, I would assume that the infant counts "as a person" since it counts as a person in your stateroom. Which would mean that my count is one too many. BUMMER!! Either way, it's cool, we are going to be on Castaway Cay, which is my other happy place!!
Looking forward to trying the FE for the 1st time!!!

For some reason I am not getting updates when some posts, even though I am subscribed to the thread. For FE gifts, last time I shipped mine before we left and they were waiting in our room when we got there. Less for us to pack and carry. We had 2 boxes to ship.
I am just having a hard time coming up with items for men and young men. BUT I do have another idea that I could do, it is easy. I have MOST of the stuff to put it together. AND I don't know that anyone one else will do it.
I am VERY Excited though.

I need to start thinking of ideas, plus stuff for our wedding renewal. Cant wait, 5 months and counting.
I just now figured out how to subscribe. I can't be much help with that one, sorry.
I was thinking the same thing. I need to find out if I can ship to the timeshare and if they will hold it there for me. It would make life easier, that is for sure.
Karin We have a lot of time till next February ,but ideas for men are TOUGH!!!!
Hello! I just wanted to update our info for the FE.
We're a big family traveling in joining cabins
7664: Jenn (me) & Ruben (dh), Jazmin (dd) 3, and Mason (ds) 2
7662: my parents Pete & Beda and my two older kids Maia (dd) 3 weeks shy of 11 and Remi (ds) 8
I was wondering if we were going to start a closed FB group.
I've finally figured out what I'm going to be giving for the FE's. so excited!

I am NOT a big fan of a FB group. I know most threads have them, but I don't really see why we need another group, when we have one here.
Our school does not allow us teachers to have an account on FB, and I am sure not everyone does FB so it will shut some of us out from the start.
I sometimes use the account my DB has and it really frustrates me that I cannot find some posts, as FB automatically adds a thread to the top once someone new posts - so annoying.
On our last cruise meet thread the FB page started a HUGE confusion when meets were started on both, the DIS and FB and no one communicated it.
Just my opinion. Why divide the chatter to two different "boards"?

Thanks for adding our info. My sister & her family as well as her sister-in-law and family will be cruising with us though I do not know if they'll be participating in the FR group.
I asked about the FE FB group because I've had the completely opposite experience.
On our last cruise we used the FB and the dis boards evenly and everyone got along well without incident. Also I've recently joined a couple groups started by dis members that has graphics that can be used for fe gifts or door magnets.
No worries.

Sorry it took so long. And sorry if I sounded a bit unfriendly in my comment, but the antiques of our last cruise's "rival" groups, still make me shiver.

So what do you think? Bit of a longer thread than the one on CruiseCritics
BTW, our cabin # is 7594. We are traveling in in Friday 8/9 and staying at CBR, having dinner at Raglan Road, and possibly going to Splitsville for late night bowling. We'll see how the day goes.
Anyway, it seems like FOREVER until August and I know the week will totally FLY by. But still sooooooooooo excited for our 5th DCL cruise. It's our 1st time on one of the new ships.
Every time they show the DCL commercial and the 'under the sea' tune plays on the steel drum sounding instrument, I actually have a physiological reaction. CANNOT WAIT!!!

Cabin# 7538
Chris - DH
Christine - DW
Leyton - DD 4yo.
Really looking forward to the Disney experience and now on a reading binge to get all the info I can.
Can anyone fill me in on the nice restaurant on the boat? Is there one and how do you go about making reservations.
The other adult only restaurant on board is Remy, which is French and even more strict when it comes to dress code.
Food at both is very good, but be aware that Remy charges $75,- for dinner per person (and offers a wine pairing for $99 per person). Lunch is $50 per person.
