November 17, 2013 - 4-night Dream Cruise to Bahamas

[dizzyr]

Finally keep in mind this should be fun, not stressful. It's about getting back to your room and finding that some thought about you and your family and passing that along to another family.

Exactly this! I have participated in many "secret" exchanges (used to own a scrapbook store with events ect where we did this) and there is always some who think it's a competion to come up with the best gift but that just SUCKS the fun out of it! This is meant to be something fun that will add a little more magic to an already magical time. It's about the thrill of the surprise

Hopefully nobody will stress too much over it and it will be a great experience.

That being said my gifts are going to be the best!!

I've got my orders in for FE gifts! So excited!!

I just found the cutest thing to add to the kids FE's and I think I got carried away LOL! They had different characters/designs and I got a few of each and somehow I ended up with 34!

My family and I are going on this cruise. So excited. My neighbor has gone on 7 Disney cruises and just told me about FE. Would love to be a part of it if it isn't too late. My husband and I have three kids- a 14 year old girl, a 3.5 year old girl and a 10 month old boy (ages when we cruise). I will join your facebook page as well. Looking forward to meeting all of you.
Thanks,
Rachel

So nice to see some more people have signed up for the FE Exchange

Not much activity on this page so bumping it up for people to find us

wrong thread

 

[rgcook]

Lets talk formal dining night......how formal is everyone dressing? I thought I'd wear a summer dress and my dh could wear slacks and dress shirt. I don't want to be the only ones under dressed!! Should we be putting more effort in??

 

[dizzyr]

I almost never dress up - I have one outfit I always wear when I do and last week I was going to a baptism that I needed to dress up for and realized that the outfit I had was over 10 years old!!!!!! It was my after wedding dress outfit and we've been married 12 years! I went out that morning and bought a different top that matched the skirt and wore that. I have to buy something new before the cruise though because we went on a cruise for our honeymoon and I was wearing the outfit for our formal shots then lol!

I had visions of losing a bunch of weight before the trip but I can't seem to get past 24 lb and that's not enough to make a difference . I'm not losing hope though and I refuse to go shopping till the last absolute minute in the hopes I can go down a size or too. If I don't lose I can't imagine I'll dress up too much, if I do go down a couple of sizes then I want something that will make me feel and look fabulous!

My friend is making a rapunzel dress for my youngest and a Merida dress for my oldest so I imagine that's what they'll wear.

We haven't set a deadline yet for the FE since this thread is so quiet we want to give it time for more people to join.

We also have a Facebook group that's more active then this thread and you're welcome to join us there too
