12/22/2011 Disney Dream Christmas Cruise

[bmer1rick]

Thanks for setting this up! We just signed up for the FE Exchange. Super excited - only 23 more days!!

Will there be a deadline for people signing up? I need to know when I need to have all of my planning complete on the FE Exchange and make sure I get everyone that is participating.

Have a blessed evening!

I agree we need a reasonable date to cut it off. I recommend this coming Monday. What do you all think? That will give me a couple of weeks to put everything together.

I think Monday is a good cut-off day.

I have another question - I'm assuming that each participant will bring a gift to exchange and not just one per family. Correct?

I am planning on at least one per person. I will probably do a family gift too for Christmas.

Things are getting finalized!!! I see the light at the end of the tunnel and will soon be relaxing.

So happy that my parents have agreed to come stay at our house and take care of the dogs. That is a huge weight off my shoulders and savings. Love having "retired" parents!

Have a blessed day everyone!

Hi all, it has been suggested we cut off the gift exchange on Monday December 5. I am fine with that. It is a small group but I think it will be nice for our first gift exchange. Deirdre and I opted not to do the adults. Do you think that is a mistake? I can change it if you all think we should. Thoughts?

With such a small group, I planned on everyone, but I think that is totally up to you.

Good morning! I think it is entirely up to you - if you want the adults in your group to participate. For us (only having one child) it's affordable for us to participate in the exchange. Whatever you decide to do, I know we will all have a blast! You should do what is right for your family and nothing that will put a strain on yourself (time wise and budget).

Have a blessed day everyone. Looking forward to celebrating the birth of my Lord and Savior on the Dream.

I didn't think we did but I wanted to make sure.

I really don't know if it matters - but I've already packed little gift bags that I will be slipping each gift in. I won't be putting them in the gift bag until we get there though - got to save some space!

Blessing!

Hello everyone!
I just registered here and we are due to sail 12/22 for Christmas! My husband and I are huge Disney fans-we don't have any children though. we are artists and love all the imagination, creativity, and attention to detail DISNEY is known for. Is it inappropriate to try to sign up for FE and would it be too late now?-it would add so much magic to our cruise-just learned of it today.

 

[eeyoreamour]

It's almost 2AM and I can't sleep I'm so excited about the cruise! Disney does that to me- somehow I feel no different now than when I would go to disney on family vacations when I was younger! -I guess I belong in neverland because-when it comes to disney-I never grow up! This will be our 1st Disney cruise and it's christmas! whooo hooo!!

 

[gourt]

I'm with you eeyoreamour - so excited! Just finishing up my last few days of work and all the last minute packing and to do's. We leave Saturday for our first leg of the B2B!

See you all soon!

Hello,

I am very late in signing up here, but am very excited to be preparing for our trip. Just wanted to quickly introduce our family- Me and DW- Trish, DS 19- Matt, DD 9- Mackenzie, and DS 3- Nick. This is my wife and oldest sons third cruise, mine and my daughters second and our youngest sons first.

We live just outside New Orleans and are looking forward to flying in next week and following on with a stay at Animal Kingdom after the cruise. Sounds like there are many people on here with similar interests and Children close in age, I can’t wait to meet all of you.
