[tomcat47]

I read the pages suggested on the FE Exchange just have a few questions. Is there a price range/limit for gifts? You get one for each person not each family? We will get a list of names , ages , statrooms etc. at deadline time? Tried to find info in thread myself but was like finding a needle in a haystack lol. I just want to decide asap so I can get started on everything . Thanks

Anyone doing WDW before the cruise? We will be there the Thursday and Friday before.

I am pretty sure there are quite a few of our DIS cruisers doing WDW before the cruise. We are going after the cruise.

Us, too! We'll be there 9/12-9/17 at the Wilderness Lodge. DeeRest will be there, too, but I don't know for how long???

Anyone else doing WDW post-cruise?

 

[disney minnie]

FE is per person and there is not a dollar limit.

We are going to WDW on Thursday before the cruise. We are saying at the Wilderness lodge and going to the luau at the poly thurs. night. Friday we are going to going to Sea World and then heading to the port that night

 

[tomcat47]

We are spending Thursday at Epcot and Friday we are doing Downtown and Magic. We have tickets to opening night of the Halloween Party at Magic on the 4th. We are staying at Pop Century.

My cousin who has done FE Exchanges before gave me a run down on what they are about and some ideas. So you can add myself and DW Jen to the list for FE and for the bracelets please 2 adults

Us, too! We'll be there 9/12-9/17 at the Wilderness Lodge. DeeRest will be there, too, but I don't know for how long???

Anyone else doing WDW post-cruise?

We'll be there during the same exact date (9/12-9/17) at BoardWalk Villas.

And I'm pretty sure that aussieinvasion and her family will be in Disney before the cruise, staying at Wilderness Lodge.

 

[WDW Enabler]

We are staying the day before the cruise at BLT and doing MNSSHP.

After the cruise we are staying at AKV and who knows what we are doing.

We are going to MK as soon as we can jump off the ship! We are celebrating DD's bday that day and are gonna squeeze it all in

We were staying at CR, but downgraded to POFQ to save some $$$..We are only staying 2 nights, but we will do it all


Yay tomcat for joining FE's! I have seen some pics somewhere showing the loot received and doesn't look like anything expensive, just treats and things. We ordered stuff from Oriental Trading...got it today I am sooo excited! Starting on our FE this weekend.

Also just got our docs for 7/30....let me tell you how exciting that is-opening the envelope, knowing what it is, it's like Christmas...just a couple more weeks and we will get them for our 'Laborless' cruise...I kinda like the name there...

I was wondering, how do you know people aren't getting the same stuff for the FEs? We were thinking to go through the Oriental Trading catalog too . . .

I guess we should be getting our docs in another 6 weeks or so? Does anyone know if that's when you find out your room assignment if it's GTY or any sooner?

 

[kasidak]

We are staying at CBR on 9/3 and 9/4. Our plan is to hang by the pool and do downtown disney.

 

[DeeRest]

We are staying at Wilderness Lodge from 9/12 - 9/16. Most of our family traveling with us will be staying until 9/15. So we are planning on doing the "try to see everything" approach in 3 days because several people have never been to WDW. I have been spending many of my lunch times mapping out the park tour plans. The best laid plans....

P.S. Still looking to see if anyone wants to share limo service to WL. We have four adults... Always looking for ways to save in one place so I can splurge in another place.

P.S.S. Tomorrow morning is another count-down-day - 7 weeks!

I got something personalized that I know no one else thought of i think duplicates will be fine...maybe we won't have any...

If I am not mistaken, cruise docs go out at the 30 day mark, and, yes, they have your stateroom number on them!!!! OK, the 30 day mark unless you book your cruise 2 weeks out, lol

 

[TLHB70]

We are staying at ASMu. We will be there from 9/12 - 9/19.
I can't wait to get the documents in!!!!

 

[DeeRest]

Hello, I wanted to update the first page posting for FE Participation - Dee (46), Gil (51) stateroom 6082 - Also we will have two other cabins participating in the FE exchange. John (36), Rebecca (36), Beau (8), Sarah (6) in stateroom #6083 , and Susan (55) and MaryEllen (34) in stateroom # 6081. I have gotten some really great FE ideas from the DCL page. Can't wait to get started on the gifts!

 

[ibela]

I called DCL over the weekend to ask a question and asked when the GTY cabins get assigned and they said as close as 2 weeks prior to sail date!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. We're so close, yet so far . . . I'm also getting ready to make my ADRs next week!

 

[WDW Enabler]

working on all the details for the cruise. packing list, getting stuff together, ordering/making items for FEs, and making magnets.DD has been in SC for the past week and thought we would get more done but not yet.

Okay fellow-cruisers, it's time to get a name for our cruise! I have seen some really cool names on this site and we can't go on this cruise without a name (can we?)....I know there have been some names suggested and I can't remember what they were...so let's post them again and see if we can choose something...
Here are some ideas to help us get started:
MAGICal Meanderings
DCL Cruise Crowd
MicKey's Ship Mates
DCL Caribbean Cluster

I'm not suggesting these are fantastic or even good...but, hopeful it will begin a discussion and we can get a name. Who's going to suggest some more?

 

[disney minnie]

I'm not feeling very creative, but earlier I said it might be fun to use the Labor Day holiday in the name. Just an idea.

 

[Douglas711]

no labor 7 days, cruise name idea

DW and I are cruising again. We booked cat 12 and are really hoping for an upgrade. Then headed over to WDW for 8 days then back to reality.

Four years in a row we keep going back like moths to a flame.

I remember seeing Laborless Cruise which I thought was cute.

My suggestion is MAGICal Celebrations.
