6/13/2009 Western on Magic

[Brooklyn]

We have 2 cabins, we will have 2 fish extenders and we plan on doing 2 different gifts on different nights.

Do we know if everyone will have a FE on their door??? Each time my biggest frustration is getting to a door with no decorations and no fish extender. Maybe everyone could place a magnet on their door...like a green mickey head with their name or a # on it so we know we r def in the right place

Also on our 100 plus cabin cruise someone had a dry erase board just for dis stuff...room # changes, dis meets, etc. I would be more then happy to keep it my door if we wanted to do something like that. Or Nikki that might be something that you would want to do. Either way, I do have extra dry erase boards.

Ok I am on my blabkberry and about to go blind! Lol. I hope what I am typing is making sense on this little screen!

I'm not gonna assign a day to do it, I think I'll just let people pass them out when they want. I hope that there will be gifts every night though- that would be nice for us to get something each night. I think we're gonna wind up with about 25 cabins, I do need to know from people with 2 cabins or more if they are doing FE's for both. I will be doing something for each cabin (if particpating) so I'll need a count. Thanks!!

I hope everyone will have a FE- if they are in the exchange.Do you know someone who didn't have one that joined in the exchange? That is too funny.I can just picture putting the gifts on the floor.
Anyway, if you want to do the dry erase board- that sounds good! Do you put the dry erase board on the inside or outside of the cabin door? I think we got one last time for our DVC presentation- but where is it- I have no idea!! So I'll take one if you have it.

OK the FE exchange is officially closed!! We have our last participant. Now you guys know this is my first time- so what next?

I will let you know about 1 vs 2 FE when cabins are assigned. If we get next door or are upgraded to adjoining, we will have 1 FE. If our cabins are spread out or on different decks, then we will have 2 FE. If we go with 2 FE, then we will do gifts twice during the cruise. Was that confusing or did I make sense (no smartie pants comments!)

Hi Nikki,
Even though we have 2 cabins, we are only doing one FE. DSIS and DBIL who have the 2nd cabin don't even know what an FE is, much less that we are participating! I've got to get over to a fabric store and get some fabric so we can have one made! Thanks to whoever posted the directions to making one!

Thanks, cause I confused myself. And seeing your signature makes me want to change mine again...

Paula, how many of you are there? We have a luxury van for 7 to the port and then to the airport for $230. If you have enough people that is cheaper.

Oh really? Wow, may have to consider that then. Thanks for you help!

There are 4 of us.. myself, DH, DD & DDF (dgts friend)

Beth, what company are you using? Right now we are doing 5 going down in a rental, and 7 coming back with a service. May book R/T van thru one of the companies. Priceless transportation is the least expensive so far, but I have not heard many reviews so maybe they are new?

 

[BethA]

We are using FL Tours. WE used them for the cruise in Dec and one other time and were pleased.

Paula-you could possibly go with a town car that might be less than the van.

Gratuity is not included in the price.

I would just keep the dry erase board on sateroom 5513...It is really close to the stairs right outside the main theatre people can stop by and look before or after a show.

I got these amazing magnetic dry erase boards that were supposed to be $8.99 each from staples for $1.00 a piece! I was so thrilled! It is the way our family uses to communicate while on board!

OK the FE exchange is officially closed!! We have our last participant. Now you guys know this is my first time- so what next?

Here is the 1st page of what I made for our last cruise. As you can see..I LOVE spreadsheets! LOL I also included our breakdown of days but I think we are skipping that anyway for this one.

I think you have a 99.99% change that your rooms will be next to each other if not connecting.

Wow! Thanks for checking for me! I am having a hard time talking DH into the dolphin/swan, probably couldn't talk him into a different transport at the same time. We had all intentions of staying at the hyatt, up until I read Stephanie's post today
