Hi, I have been researching information as well. It is funny as my husband is telling me I am looking at things too early as we are over a year out, however I like to be prepared.
1. I totally agree on excursions. We are looking at going through something not Disney for the Grand Cayman and maybe for Jamaica. There are a few excursions that are not available to my youngest daughter (3) with Disney but they are available through other reputable groups.
2. Collecting sand is an awesome idea, I will have to see if my kids and family are interested in doing so. I will have to look into Etsy for the labels as well.
3. We have a ton of pins for Pin trading. I plan on purchasing a few more from
Amazon using Prime. This way we can return scrappers if needed. I love doing the pins, but some of them are so expensive.
4. Thankfully we are staying at Disney World before the cruise. We plan on purchasing the mugs you use at the resort's there and will bring those on the cruise.
5. For a FE there are a few places you can get information. We can wait to see if anyone is willing to take it up here, but I also follow a social media group about FE's on the
Disney Cruise Line. It gives me some great ideas on what to make, and hopefully between both locations someone will make a group
We also plan on sending a box directly to the ship. We have 3 staterooms so we plan on doing 3 boxes for FE, and other things we will want on the ship but not at Disney World. We plan on mailing anything we get at Disney home, so we don't have to worry about hauling it around the ship. Other than that, most of what I hear is the same stuff everywhere. Don't over pack, get on the boat early, take the late dining if you can (we cant
) and have fun
