March 7, 2013 Disney Wonder - Bahamas

[Joysnote]

Awesome!!!! Thank you so much for helping to organize it! I PROMISE we will participate! Im already planning out what I'm going to make/give everyone. I don't have a fish extender yet, but I've been checking out some adorable ones they have for sale on Etsy and Ebay. We are 4 weeks out so I should still be able to order or make one.

Could you help explain the gift exchange? Do we give a small gift to each person in the cabin, one for the family or just for the kids? I've read places that some people bring a gift for the entire family and others bring individual gifts. I guess when we email you, we will need to specify who is participating and if it includes mom and dad?

Whatever you like, When I went on November on my last cruise I made everyone a Disney Christmas tree ornament and then I went by Disney World and got some Disney lollipops and then put one in for each child in stateroom plus one ornament per family and some stickers and that was it. People usually do small things, but some people do more and some less. My ornament was just some bulb with mickey heads painted on them.

Thanks! Once I get the list of participants, I will figure out what I will do for each. Do you think more will join the FEE as we get closer to our cruise date? The Mickey ornaments sound adorable and I'm sure everyone loved receiving one. I think the handmade gifts are really special and I hope I have time to make some. Looking forward to it

If you want to e-mail the info with your stateroom number, first names and ages that way when they list is done I will send out a group e-mail with a word document we can print and put in our bag with our FE gifts to take around and deliver. When I get the list all in, I will group at least by deck order to make it easy to deliver.

Please e-mail me if you have not already at Joysnote@aol.com so I can put you on list

Hi all!

I'm going too and just saw this thread...I think there are two separate groups and we should coordinate or combine our FE lists...

Can't wait!!

Hi there! Im glad you found us. Bahamian cruise on the Wonder March 7-11, 2013 right? Where is the other group? Could you post the thread? It's great to hear there might be more people wanting to participate in the FE. We have been emailing our DISBoard user id, stateroom number, family members names/ages to joysnote@aol dot com. She has offered to organize the gift exchange. Is someone already organizing the other groups exchange?

 

[ktnryansmom]

Whoops! We are on the Dream....but same dates!


My mistake, sorry!!

Have fun!

We need your cabin number to drop off the gifts

Thanks, here or e-mail it to me at Joysnote@aol.com

I am making a Word document to e-mail out to those participating, so you can print it out and take with you on cruise to deliver your gifts, so if you want a copy of the document I'll need your e-mail too please.

 

[Joysnote]

Right now we just have 2 families officially registered, need cabin number for 3 rd and I pmed a 4th who said interested here for FE.

Anyone else on this cruise want to join us?

Please e-mail me or post here your Dis name, your e-mail, your stateroom number and first names, number of adults, and number of kids with their ages and I will compete a word document and e-mail it to those participating.

We just ask please deliver gifts by 3rd night of cruise, Pirate night, or before.

Just think small things, like dollar tree etc, nothing fancy or expensive, just a little treat to surprise the kids and make cruise extra fun.

Should we plan a spot to meet as well during cruise?

Since we live in Florida now, we have the beach and warm weather whenever we want, so I am focusing more on ship. On Key West we are going to tour the Truman Little White House. We just did the Trolley tour last month and loved it. Then DH and I have spa appts in the afternoon. On Nassau we are just going to get off and walk to straw market, then we also have spa appts that afternoon .

On Castaway Cay, we all have the getaway package, very relaxing, love riding the bikes to other side of island and snorkeling.

When we disembark, I am actually signed up to do ship tour of the Wonder, so I get to get back on and tour and have on board again. I feel like it is almost an extra day. It is a tough job being a travel agent

Hi All!

I'm looking forward to our upcoming cruise and would love to join you in the FE. We've been on two previous Disney cruise trips and I had NO IDEA why cruisers had FE's hanging outside of their stateroom doors. I started researching yesterday and found this thread...it sounds like FUN!

There are eight of us cruising:

Me
DH
DD - 12
DD - 15
DS - 9
DS - 9
Nanna
Poppy

Please let me know if we may join you in the fun. Otherwise, we will decorate our door this time around and look forward to participating next time as I am certain this is not our last cruise.

 

[KerryK]

Me - Kerry
DH - Blaine
DD (12) - Courtney
DD (15) - Bryanna (Bri)
DS (9) - Tyler
DS (9) - Zachary
Nanna - Patricia
Poppy - Richard

We are in staterooms 6551 and 6553.

Also, if anyone is crusing with a "tween" who plans on spending time at Edge, please let me know if your DS or DD will be attending the meet and greet. My DD is hesitant and hoping to meet a friend to spend time with.

Thank you for adding us! I was explaining it to the kids last night and they are SO excited. We will work on gifts from each of our cabins and they were already talking about what they would like to do.
