Hey everyone sorry for the long time between post. It has been a rough few weeks this past month. DH had major surgery to repair what is left of his intestines and we lost our family Flat Coat Retriever after 13 years with our family (he was more like my hair son) so I have had my mind elsewhere. It has been a great weekend to cope and have some fun. We went to the Monsters Inc University movie last night. LOVED IT!!!
Anyhow, Welcome Anne-Marie and CruiseCrazy44! I will try my best to explain FE. Really the cost depends on what you decide to give as a gift. It really is up to you if you make the gift or choose to purchase trinkets or small gifts from your state/country etc. Have fun with it. Don't over think it. There is no right or wrong gift. Our family loves to give and sit to make the gifts for our group so the service is why we like it. And it is fun to be a part of Dis Group like this. As the group gets bigger the list can be divided if needed and each will have the option to choose a day to deliver their gifts to avoid getting gifts all on one day with an over loaded FE and to spread out the fun. A list will be made with Room number, First names and ages (optional) of those in the room and a section to add which day you prefer to deliver or you can choose any. This allows the coordinator the ability to adjust the days accordingly. The groups usually are around 15 rooms ish, again, depends upon how many of us choose to participate. As we get closer we will start the list, but for now we have a long time to go so it really can change dramatically.
Here is a picture of one of our past FE days. This group didn't divide the days to give so this is the aftermath of the first day. Then after that we really didn't receive much the rest of the cruise. Hence, a day to give. This one had maps, magnets for our fridge, Pens, candy, handmade princess sashes with a small tiara, pirate gear etc.
The above was a gift we gave once with bubbles (fun at the back of the ship to see how far they float) glow sticks for pirate night and a small glass jar for sand from the beaches we visited to take home.
Is anyone going to WDW first or after their trip? We have decided to stay at PORFQ for 2 nights and then do the Mickeys not so scary Halloween party on Friday night. We plan on getting transportation to the Port and leaving at 10:30am to get to the port early. More time on the ship.
Hope this helps. Now can someone please fast forward the clock!?
time will fly by......OK thats a lie but good thinks do come to those who wait
