Please let me know if there are problems viewing it.
Kids will have their age next to their name, adults will not.
If there are any questions about the list, please contact me.

If you have not sent me your info and you would like to add it, please PM me or email at hoppin62@verizon.net.

calmom, I think you are right about not being able to get to your rooms untill after the sail away party.
Also, did you have the days for passing out F/E gifts set up yet?

I can view the list fine and I added our last names. We are technically not a "family" so I just added both our last names.


Should we try to do a DIS meet-up prior to sail-away?

Your gonna be!

calmom said she would let us know of a place so that we could get bubbles from her!

Yeah but I'm not sure yet if I will be taking DF's last name!


I guess I meant, should we schedule an official meet up somewhere other than the deck prior to the sail-away party (because TBH I don't know if we'll be going to the sail away - or if we do, we will be watching from afar.)

I've read on other trip reports about people meeting up in one of the cafes. But since this is my first cruise I'm not too familiar with the ship or the best places to have a meet-up.

Seems like one of the common places to meet is in the Promenade Lounge on Deck 3 (in between Triton's and Parrot Cay). It's kind of awkward for big groups, but I think would probably work for us since we're not a huge group. It's typically pretty quiet on that first day...

Someone above mentioned they didn't think we could get into our rooms until after sailaway party - that has not been my experience. We've been able to get into our rooms around 1:30 or so. 2ish if they're really running behind.

YES!!! Countdown has officially begun. I noticed 14(15 including me) cabins on the fe. I am starting to get it together. Am I getting gifts for all 14 or just seven. Just wondering so I will know how much to buy.

30 DAYS!

To commemorate one month to go, I gave this to my kids today. They love it. Now they know exactly how many days to the cruise. They take one off each day. I got the Mickey heads from Home Depot and the calenda from disigner rustmanfan

Each family will be given a day to pass out their gifts. They can pass them out whenever they want on that day. People do it different ways... some give 1 gift per family and others give little gifts to the kids and adults like candy, pencils, crayons, stickers, etc. It all depends on what you want to do. The idea is to give to each cabin and you should receive from each cabin that participates.

Thanks again. Sorry for asking again, but this is what I am understanding. I will be assigned one day to pass out my FE gifts, whatever it is that I decide to do, to the other 14 cabins participating. Sounds great and look forward to it

I think we should leave the first day (4/10) and the last day (4/16) free from the F/E exchange. These are probably the busiest days for us as we are unpacking and packing......
I was thinking that we can do the exchange Monday - Friday with 3 families per day (2 families on Friday)

What do you guys think?

That sounds good, but I am happy to take day 1 (Sunday) and give our gift (whatever it will be) .... although I was thinking of something simple and practical since I am not crafty We are driving in local (only about a 2 hr. drive to the port) so I think I will be up to giving it that evening if it is okay with everyone.
