I'm near little rock in Benton, AR.

I know where that is. My dh use to travel there.

So how much do ppl spend on each FE?? Do you buy for parents or just kids??

Hi all! Just booked today! It will be me, my husband and 3 kids, ages 11, 10 and 7 (at the time of sailing).

Just went on the Fantasy 2 weeks ago and had a great time....looking forward to another FE exchange!! It was so fun!!

What was your fave thing to get in FE?

What was your fave thing to get in FE?

Oh wow...so hard to pick!! We got so many great things and it was SO fun to come back to the room and see the FE full!

We got a 5x7 matte that came with a note to bring it to guest services to have it signed by the characters. We already had brought an 8x10 with us, but it was fun to have an extra!

My daughter got an eye patch with a purple feather attached for Pirate Night...she loved that!! Boys got eye patches, too, but not as fancy as the girl got

The one thing we used the MOST was laminated games with dry erase markers. We got 2 markers and a tic tac toe board and also a Battleship type game with instructions. They fit into my bag so nicely and it was fun for the kids to play at dinner.

We received so many other fun gifts...everything was great!! They are still in a duffle bag that we took off the ship...haven't even had a chance to sort through it all!

We gave out magnets, but I'm not giving details because we will probably give them again on this cruise

We are traveling with Pittcrew. This will be our 7th Disney Cruise as well. We went on our first with Pittcrew July 2002 on the Magic for our anniversaries. This cruise will be celebrating our 20th anniversary
We have 3 children, but NONE of them will be coming with us-much to their dismay. Our oldest daughter is in the Navy and will be in Bahrain by the time we board. Our son is a junior in high school and an intern at our church, so can't be gone, and our youngest daughter is a dancer and will be right in the middle of preparing for her spring performance. We will miss them, but love them enough to tell them that we need a vacation without them.
We have done FE in the past, but will most likely not participate during this cruise.

As winter arrived very suddenly in Atlanta last week, I have finally done that which makes me the saddest of all and switched out summer clothes for fall/winter. However, I was very careful as I was putting the summer clothes in their bucket to choose what I would want to bring on the cruise and leave it on TOP so I could easily retrieve it to pack in March

 

[DolphinRN]

Can't wait!! The weather is cold and I'm ready to cruise!!!

Get to book excursions and Palo 1 week from today.

About 90% sure we will be on this Cruise. Hoping it works out...

This will be the third for me, my wife and our 5 year old son. It will be number 2 for our 2 year old daughter. We do participate in FE.

Is there a FB page for this group or would you like me to start one?

 

[SoNewToDisney!]

As a Canuck I need to start my FE hunting & gathering (aka online shopping!) early - any thoughts on if there are enough participants?

There will be some doing fe but not sure how many. I know we are. I am at Disney World now but if people want to pm me I will keep up with the list or someone else can do it.

I created a facebook group. It is a closed group so you have to be a member to see the posts. I think once you are a member you can approve others to join.

Hello... This will be our first Disney cruise with my DH and DD (11) and my sister's family, DH, DS (11), DD (7) and DD (5). We are so excited to be able to spend our first cruise with Disney!

I will be going with my DH, DD (7) and DD (4.5). Saw you have similar age girls in your group. Yea!

 

[Jifinifer]

This is our second cruise and last time I only stumbled upon the FE last minute. It was still so much fun for my DD's, so count us in!!

 

[SILLYANDI]

Hey there, it's been a while since I've checked in. We are all paid in full and ready for the cruise!

Hope everyone had a great holiday and is ready to start planning!

I'm sure my kids will want to do the FE, so count us in.

I'm off to go catch up on the 4 pages of posts since I was last here...

 

[SILLYANDI]

We'll be there! Our first cruise EVER! Me, DH, DD (9), DS (3.5) and my parents. We're coming from Southern CA. I worked at Disneyland for 4 yrs while in college. Can't wait to see Disney on a cruise!

Hi there Karimoore, where in So Cal are you? We are in San Dimas!

 

[moffboyz2]

Hi everyone! Please count us in on the fish extenders. This will be our fifth Disney cruise. We can't wait! It will be me, DH, DS (13) and DS (8).

 

[krhardy]

We are paid in full, with our brunch at Palo reserved. Not sure what else we'll do...definitely beverage tastings and a whole lot of NADT (not a darn thing). Now that Christmas has passed, I have 2 things to focus on: preparing for my daughter to be home on leave the first 2 weeks of February and cruise planning. Magnets for the door are one of the things we'll do...it makes it much easier to find your room amongst the sea of identical doors :-D

The cold in GA has finally hit, and it has me dreaming of our upcoming vacation on the Magic!

We were originally booked on the Magic cruise the following week, but had to switch to this one when the School Board decided to change their Spring Break dates in their published calendar. It will be me, my DH and our DD who will be 5 on the cruise--but turning 6 a couple of days after we return. Because of the cruise switch, she won't get to celebrate her actual birthday on the ship but I know that we will more than make up for that.

Just as well, because this looks like a great group of people!

Looking forward to getting to know you all over the next few months!
