Hi Andrea!

I know - it's so much fun to put together the FE gifts - my kids get sooo excited! Right now, we have 22 cabins signed up and it's tough to know how many more we may get. But I don't think we will add that many more but maybe 35 is a good guess?

What does everyone else think???

You just deliver yours ONCE at any time during the cruise. No one has an assigned day or time, etc. to help with the Surprise! We have done some one day and some another and then once we did them all at once. Totally up to you

Cannot wait to see yours - LOL! Some label who they are from and some are anonymous so that is up to everyone as well. Some also do things cabin-specific depending on adults/kids in the cabin, etc. I am still collecting info but will PM this weekend what I have so everyone who wants to start shopping can.

So, if you haven't sent me a PM with your cabin details (adults in cabin, kids (B/G and ages, etc.), PLEASE SEND IT ASAP so I can get the list completed and distributed. If you don't have your cabin # yet - that is ok - we can add it later, just send the other info. since there are many that want to start shopping now and have plenty of time to put their surprises together

Thanks so much!

ok.. i am SOO excited.. i talked to a crafty friend of mine about helping me decide what to make.. and WOW she has some FABULOUS ideas!!!!

i'm wondering if we think we will have 30 rooms signed up? 50 rooms? whats the average? i'd like to get started asap, cause these could take some time, and when they are done, i can just put them in a bag and be ready to go!

are we just doing one swap then? not something we need to do every day? that could take alot of time! i also like the idea of the paint chip samples from home depot... i have actually used those in my scrapbooks before.. and Lizzy loves to get one whenever she goes to Home Depot with her dad.. all the different colors to choose from!

Needless to say i am sooo excited! i cant wait to do fish extender suprises!!!!

Hi Laurie
Nice to meet you.
It sure is getting close now. I really need to get stuck into my planning.

Thank you both for the warm welcome! We are very excited and just wish it wasn't 8 months away. But the anticipation is part of the fun so that's ok!

Take care,
Laurie

Hey Lori,

Your pictures of the Dolphin encounter are just gorgeous. Please don't post such beautiful pictures, they make me feel SO jelaous!

Thanks, and sorry.

Hello everyone!
First time poster here! We are so excited to have booked our very first Disney Cruise. It will be myself, my DH, Dean and our DS, Jack who will be 5 by cruise time. My DH and I have both cruised before but this will be our son's first cruise and our first Disney Cruise so we can't wait. I must give credit to Yonkrs_Girl who has gently but diligently persuaded us to partake of what sounds like a fabulous week. She also happens to be my wonderful neighbor! So cheers to you Yonkrs_Girl!!!

Of course I would like to be added to the FE list so sign me up!!

I look forward to participating on these boards as we count down towards 9/19!!

Regarding excursions...we're doing the rays, reef, and rum point excursion through NativeWay in Grand Cayman. (always love it!! ) And, we'll be doing the all-inclusive Nachi Cocum in Cozumel. It's hard to try new things, when we love these so much!

 

[Mrsjvb]

welp, I did it.. I just booked 5 nights at SoG after the cruise. we are going to take advantage of the free ticket offer. DH is due to get back from his deployment just before the cruise... and the 19th is our anniversary...

the only bad thing is, we now have to pay the highest rate.. but at $125 a night it's still less than half of what the Poly would have cost..so I am good..

Guess I need to pay off the cruise, huh?

Is it September yet?!

 

[salbythec]

Myself (Sally) and DH (Peter) will be joining you, our DD will not she's in college.

This will be our 8th Disney cruise and our 12th cruise overall. We leave in less then 2 months to go on a 10 day on the Emerald Princess. ( this will be our 4th princess)

Looking forward to catching up on all the posts. And to having Konch Coolers

the PM funtion does not kick in until you have a few more posts. I think it's around 10 or so welcome to the "DIS" and the cruise

Hi,

This is my first post. We had booked a land and sea to begin with in May but changed to this cruise when I saw all of the things we would be missing out on by only doing a 4 night. I would love to be added to the fish extender. It will be myself, DH, DD (7) and DS (6). The kids don't know we are going. We are doing AKL first and then instead of driving home , we will drive to the port!

 

[gamomof2]

We'll be at AKV the night before the cruise but we're in a value studio in Jambo house. Just the 2 of us going this time.

Hello Everyone.

Looks like we are gonna be going on this wonderful cruise with you all. We booked a SPH and are looking forward to getting to Grand Cayman this trip. This is our 3rd cruise (maybe 4th) if we get to do a b2b.

It will be me and DH celebrating a birthday and anniversary. We are flying in a day early from California so we can go to the park for a day
before getting on the Magic.

Hi to all the recent additions. mamajojo.....we are also staying at AKL prior to the cruise for 7night and driving down to the port. My eldest dd will also be 7 at the time of the cruise and the youngest two weeks of 5. There seems to be quite a few kids around the same age.

That's great! Have you ever stayed at the AKL before? We are really excited!
I am glad that there will be so many kids their age. I read that many of the kids are emailing each other. I am a little nervous because this is a surprise for our kids so they won't be making friends before hand.

My girls will turn 9 and 6 on board, and do not know about it as of yet.

 

[nvcruiser]

I am *SO* ready for it to be September! A whole week of no homework, cell phones, or "real" life! I feel like it's never going to come, yet when we're on the ship it'll go WAY too fast and be over! If only I was rich and could just live on the ship forever!!!

Hello Fellow Cruisers!

I am back from a girls cruise aboard the Disney Magic - 1/10/09 (my daughter's m-i-l and I) (and we booked another cruise - 1/30/10 Eastern on the Magic). Now I am busy and eagerly planning our 9/19 cruise. As I stated months ago, it'll be me and DH (Dave) and our daughter and s-i-l. Dave and I will be celebrating our 25th anniverary on 9/22; our DD and DS-I-L will celebrate their 12th anniversary on 9/20. We're looking forward to getting to know you before and during the cruise. This upcoming cruise is #12 for me on DCL. Just love the Magic and Wonder. FYI: I have the Western Navigators from the 1/10/09 cruise if anyone wants to look at them.
