Hi everyone! We're long-time Disney fans, first time cruisers!

In case anyone is interested, I created a group for the March 28th cruise! Hope to see you all in the group. -Dan

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but...


is there anyone flying with carry-ons only and no checked bags? I'd hate to do an item that would not be carry-on approved.

Hello everyone! We just booked our cruise. {First time Disney Cruisers} So excited! I have been doing a lot of research on how to make this the best experience possible for my family, and it sounds as if fish extenders are the way to go. Can someone explain this to me so that we can prepare to join the fun. Hope we aren't too late. Thanks!

I can add you to the latecomers list and if anyone has extras then they can share with you. I need to know how many adults, how many kids(ages and sex), and room number.

Room #8504

2 adults
3 girls ages 11, 8, & 22 months

We are so excited! THANK YOU! We are starting on our FE gifts today.

I wonder if we should have 2 groups and then the late comers can do it for each other and the earlier ones can and if anyone has extras they can feel free to give them to the other groups as well?
What do you think?

Sorry, I missed that. I am doing WDW before the cruise, and I am trying to figure out how to just keep it to 3 regular suitcases pluse one carryon. LOL.

But you don't need to bring soap or shampoo and conditioner, nor lotion. those are on the ship. They do have hair dryers, but they are really weak in my opinion. I bring 3 or 5 pairs of shoes (because of WDW as well) as I switch shoes daily to keep my feet from blistering. I 2 pairs of sketcher go walks, 1 pair of sandles that I can wear to dinner and then I bring water shoes because I found CC to be pretty stoney in the water in places...which reminds me, my daughter out grew hers, I need to get her a pair ASAP. I often wear a pair of regular tennise shoes too, so I may bring those along, depending on how heavy my suitcase is.
If I didn't answer something, let me know and I will try to answer it.

I figured most people would be flying and having checked bags so i was pretty sure if I did any liquid items someone could get them home. I'm local so I'm not worried about my bags. I just had thought about doing a liquid item as an FE gift but didn't want someone to get to the airport and have to throw it out because of airline requirements.

Doesn't matter to me. I have some extras of a couple of things I will give to everyone that is late. It is not the same as what others are getting.

 

[iluvasoldier]

as a latecomer I can say we are just happy to be involved and will still be ok even if we only get 1 item total lol. we realize this was last minute and it is the thought that counts.

 

[courtnfla]

I'm good with giving the latecomers gifts too. I have 48 custom made items to give out

No worries

My friends & I will include the latecomers as well....

 

[mamakellie]

My friend and I are taking our kiddos and can't wait! This will be the 3rd DCL for our family, but our first time on the Magic. We haven't done the FE yet either, so this extra touch will be so nice for the little kiddos. Here is our info:

Stateroom 6552:
Mom+DS(5)+DS(3)
Stateroom 6445:
Mom+DD(5)+DS(3)+DD(21 months)

We just booked our cruise last week, so would love to be included if it is ok with everyone!

 

[Fabiana Hartmann]

We'll be happy to include the latecomers as well!!!!

I bought our FE gifts today and started putting things together. have 1 set of items waiting for in the mail that should be here Saturday. Also bought the fabric to make our FE. Have to say, I'm a little nervous about making one. Sadly our door probably won't have any magnets/decorations just due to time constraints (I work and go to school and hubby will be finally coming into town Monday [he's been at the base since he got back]).
But we are super excited for this trip and can see us itchy to book our next, longer cruise, shortly after coming back.

 

[MomTog]

mamakellie, I added you to mine!

 

[mamakellie]

Thanks for adding us! I'm just starting to see my FE too. Not enough time to order one off of Etsy. I hope it turns out ok! We are so excited and counting the days!
