10/27 2012 A little Halloween MAGIC!

[geauxvacation1]

I was wondering if anyone knew what time we were officially allowed on the boat? I have check in time at 1130 but I don't know what time we can get on ?

There's a Starbuck's in Cozumel? I may have to cancel our excursion!

Hi all! I've been out of touch traveling for work, I apologize for just disappearing. As soon as I get my wifi working again, I'll update the spreadsheets. So far we only have one additional participant (Crystal), so I was just going to add her family to the group with less participants.

I'll post an update here when that's done. Sorry again for the delay!

They typically start boarding between 11:30 and 12. At least at PC they do... I am hoping its the same in Galveston.

does this include my family as "If possible"?
I don't know how to pull the latest spreadsheet. The one I saw was not in groups and didn't have our names added yet...
Thanks...

Hi All, My name is Jill & my daughter & I are very excited, we booked our cruise yesterday! My daughter's Bday is 10/27 & will be turning 7. We are excited about spending Halloween on board & look forward to being in Cozumel on Nov. 1 for the Day of the Dead. This is our 2nd Disney cruise & we are working on our Fish Extender. We are new to this and was wondering if anyone had any hints, tips, or must do's to have this be sucsesful. I would hate for my daughter to receive nothing, so I'm packing some things, just incase. Any info is appreciated

Hi, this is our 2nd cruise but will be our 1st time doing FE gifts, do you mind me asking what type of gifts you or anyone else is doing. Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you

 

[geauxvacation1]

How many days do we put stuff in each persons holder?

 

[rodher]

You can give anything you want, from disney related little gifts, candies or toys,to more elaborate hand made gifts, regional souvenirs, postcards or letters, You can give one gift for each stateroom or one per person, one per cruise or one daily. It is up to you.... The idea is to have fun giving to others....

I tried finding the pic I took of our FE gifts last cruise but cannot locate it.
Highlighter, candies, magnets. Toys for the kids- pirate treasure chest, plastic bucket and shovel. blow up ball, bubbles, coloring books- some homemade of disney and cruise related and stapled together and others store bought. Handmade lanyards. Crochet items, plastic sunglasses for the kids
candies were random- from probably 10 different countries- we were on the transatlantic- new zealand, canada, italy, france, etc- was fun trying the different items
that is just a few items

bottomline- no rules, dont stress, have fun- the range went from almost no cost or very inexpensive- to some more elaborate gifts to other gifts that took a great deal of time for someone to create. It is all for fun- we had just as much fun passing out our treasures as coming back to little gifts every time we returned to the cabin

These are some ideas I considered that I found from the various FE threads:

** small white board with magnets on back to put on door to leave quick notes

http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2907032&page=23 post #343


**shore excursion kit (small baggie with things you might use on shore such as bandaids, antiseptic wipes, travel size anti bacterial gel, travel size sunscreen, towel clips {clothespins}, rubberbands, plastic baggie for wet items etc. )

** Minnie emergency kit: All in a zip lock bag
clothes pins
bandaids
hand sanitizer packs/wipes
paper clips
shout wipes
sample size spf 15 sunscreen (1 oz)
ink pen
purse size pack of tissues
Clips(paper clip-the heavy ones)


**disney decorated photo mat (buy a red 8x10 phot mat at hobby lobby and decorate with disney stickers then give each cabin a mat with sharpies (you can leave 2 items per cabin for all the characters to sign) (i can pm you a photo for reference if you'd like)


**door magnets - Millipie has some great disigns you can download and print on magnetic paper

http://www.4shared.com/dir/Xs3bCr-w/_online.html#dir=19078251

**disney magic bookmarks from a disigner (i can pm you the link) that is already designed and you just print out on cardstock and cut

I have added Crystal and her family and Jill and her daughter. The updated lists may be found here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqtOxTWFtiP-dERYRV9PMkZEWXB5VmJpNTFPRWItZUE

Short version: Crystal and family were added to group 1 and Jill and her daughter were added to group 2.

I'll update further as I hear about people's stateroom assignments.

My goal is to get Maps emailed out at least a few days before we sail!

I've also added a page to the spreadsheet that breaks down each group similar to Tammie's post above (miyta). Or at least, I'm adding it now.

Thank you everyone for the wonderful ideas, they are much appreciated. Thank you Joye for the add on and welcoming us into your group so late in the game
