We set the cut off date as the 10th of September. I know I have enough items that I could add on another room of people, but I don't know about others.

I started pulling dresses together and suck...we are going to start packing this weekend...I HAVE to get it done and have to get it so that we have minimal other things...the dresses and costumes alone will consume a suitcase.

Anyone have any advice on getting 2 bottles of wine down there from Oregon? Cant put them in our carry ons from here. Disney says we cant ship to them...I really dont want to end up in cabernet tie die & smell of pinot gris on the 1st night! Im up for suggestions...

Only the Eurodam is scheduled to be in St Thomas with the Magic

Oh that is great, thanks for the info! Should be a nice uncrowded day for beaches and excursions

these are what we are using to move our bottle around, of course we dont have to fly but these should help you survive the bumps and hits of flying


hope this helps

I actually tried signing up before the tenth of September. I added my name to the spreadsheet before then. How do I know if I am in or not?

Unfortunately, I did the information off of what was on the list when I printed it on the 10th of September...I just pulled out my printoff and your name was not on there.

If the other people swapping have extras of items and are able to include you I am fine with that, but I am not sure that everyone will.

And there were many posts right about the 10th to 15th of September confirming participants.

I'm making magnets!!!!!! I'm so ready for a vacation. Trust me, I spend everyday dealing with people on vacation...it'll be nice to be on the other side. Woo hoo!

And I have a couple of extra FE things, what are the names and ages of any kids?

I've taken bottles of wine tightly packed in my suitcase from the west coast of Canada to the UK and nothing broken. But I should have packed them in a dry bag at least. Bubble wrap inside a dry bag, perhaps? Not speaking from experience with this idea.

Hi! I have a daughter who will be 9 in November. We've been on 2 Disney Wonder cruises before but have never used the kids' club. She's very suspicious that we're going to try to "dump" her (I know that sounds bad, and I'm not sure why she feels that way. She's an only child that normally gets included in everything we do, and I think that makes her think that it's not normal for her to do activities on her own. It's kind of funny that she's so suspicious!), so if she could meet some buddies, I think that would really help. We're going to visit the kids' club the first night. My daughter's name is Lauren. We have the late dinner seating (another first and I'm not happy) so we'll probably stop by pretty late. If you'd like to meet up earlier, we'll definitely be at the Goofy pool first thing after boarding! Just let me know!

Hi Laurensmom! We can meet at the goofy pool after boarding as well. We did that last time and the kids enjoyed it! My girls are Bailey(10) and Ellie (9)

My two kids are DD Savanna age 12 and DS Grayson age 8. How can I get a list of the names? We will go ahead and get for everyone and whoever have extras can maybe include us. Thanks!

I heard bubble wrap and Large Ziploc bags (the real big ones) work well!!

We could add you too, what is your cabin number?

I am starting to worry about our packing..our door magnets, costumes, pirate gear, beach stuff..FE, FE gifts..I am not sure where our clothes are supposed to fit??

I think we're going to meet ya'll too. Looks like they'll be a nice group of that age group.

We will probably be at the Goofy pool soon after boarding as well. We have Hannah (11), Dalton (7 almost 8), and my 2 neices Morgan(12) and Reagan
(10).

Thanks so much for the Rum Distillery info. Apparantly while looking into rental cars last night, I somehow rented a jeep for the day in St. Croix. I got an email this morning confirming my rental. I would need 2 or a van for our group.

Our cabin is 2085. Thanks for adding us!

To anyone interested - We missed the Sept. 10th deadline to get in on the Fish Extenders. I have a best friend who has been on a Disney cruise and said that this was a must. We would love to get on board and participate if anyone is interested. Our DD is Savanna age 12 and our DS is Grayson age 8 We are cabin 2085. I would also like a list of others that are participating and your information. We have already purchased some goodies. Counting down the days!!

Hi Delainecox! I have extra prizes for the FE (I went overboard on my selections). I will add your cabin # to my personal list and will drop some prizes your way!! Looking forward to seeing everyone's FE!!!
