Its just another part of the disboards. Go to the main page, then scroll down til you see Creative Disigners...
Check out all the threads there. People can make you all sorts of things for free!
All you have to do is ask! But make sure you read the first post for the instructions for requests.

Who is organizing the FE exchange and the meet? I don't know who to contact for a list. If noone is doing it, I can volunteer, but I think we need to organize it.

 

[allaboutdisney1967]

Jasminerk13, are you still the collector of information. Who's collecting stateroom no.s and names or sign ons for so that we can map out the rooms in order to deliver fe's. Does everyone have dining assignments? Are any of us on the same rotation? Are we meeting at all ?

[allaboutdisney1967]

No new news ??

Is there someone we are suppose to PM our stateroom numbers in order to create a map to deliver to fe's? Is there a final count for girls , boys , mom's and dad's ?

Just trying to put together a small "hello" for the fe's. Trying to make it age appropriate ( I know we have a few little ones.) and useful for cruise.


Can't wait for 1st cruise. So excited

As far as I can tell there isn't anything concretely planned. If I am wrong, someone fill me in. Allaboutdisney1967- I guess you could put stuff in our FE and we could do yours, since that's about it. Our ship is going to be really empty!

That is strange that no one has been checking in. Several of the people listed below offered to organize, but I haven't heard anymore other than then posting of the combined visitors with interest in FE's to the 09/27/09 Wonder Cruise.

2. (kfrench) mom (31), step dad (25), daughter (15), daughter (11), and son (9)
3. Kristi (bound2travel)

Is that an official list for the FE exchange or just a list of the people who responded to this thread?

 

[bound2travel]

I've only been on one cruise before, but I did participate with the FE. I will be happy to organize for everyone if everyone agrees.

I'll type up some information later and post. Then after reading the information, people still want to participate then they can pm me.

I say we keep the list open until either Sept 6th or Sept 13th in order to give people time to get stuff together. You can sign up even if you don't have a stateroom number yet (I didn't get mine in Feb. until one or two weeks before).

If ya'll are cool with this, then let me know. If I'm stepping on people's toes, then let me know as I really don't mean to.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you want me to back off and let someone else handle the FE. I am fine either way - I'm just looking to help.

By the way, I really hope my post doesn't sound snarky, I've had some medical and work issues lately that have my stress levels in overdrive and a constant headache. I really can't wait for this cruise.

[Turk82]

Sorry it's been SO long! As far as I'm concerned, Kristi, it would be great if you wanted to organize it (esp as you have done it before!!!!). Life has been crazy here and I broke my wrist almost two weeks ago, making working on the comp difficult!! Anyway, I have been working on some FE gifts though and am TOTALLY planning to participate!!! Woo hoo just over a month to go!!!1

 

[AprilTwins]

Please count us in for the FE exchange Kristi. It's been a hectic summer.
Sooooo need a vacation. We don't have a cabin # yet. Just about finished with all the planning. Now the hardest part starts - the waiting.

[allaboutdisney1967]

The list of names are all the people who have posted to this thread but looking back they have all posted interest in participating in gift exchange/FE's. I will PM you my cabin assignment. Once you compose list of everyone's location will you be PMing them to everyone? I'm not very crafty. I have put together a few things that I think will be useful and/or practical for the cruise for the FE's. Sometimes there is just that thing you didn't think to pack or you just plum forget due to the excitement.

Kristi, that sounds great. If you need any help, I am available. I have cruised 2x but have never participated in a FE exchange. I think my kids will love that. They love all kinds of little things. Do you have a rough idea of how many people want to do it yet? Also do you want to plan a meet on the first day? Maybe we could do it in the afternoon sometime before the sail away party. Only 39 more days. Woohoo!

 

[Turk82]

Just for clarification.....my FE will have me, Boone (6), and JoJo (my guide dog), the rest of my family won't be participating. So, just the 2 (or three) of us! I do not know my cabin # yet...

What kind of dog is JoJo? Can she eat treats?

 

[Jasminerk13]

Maybe someone can explain the FE gifts to me...
I've already made my FE, so all I need to do is get the gifts.

Do I buy a gift for each person? So if there are 39 people, buy 39 gifts?
What kinds of gifts do we buy?

 

[Turk82]

Jolene is a yellow lab. And yes, she loves treats (just not too many of them!)!

I think the gifts can be anything, really, I got some ideas by browsing other threads (esp. the one about homemade gifts that ppl had done).

 

[AprilTwins]

Hi. For anyone who booked a category 12. I retrieved my reservation today and our stateroom # was there. Category 11 deck 6 aft. Good luck

[byejou]

We got an upgrade also from Cat 12 to Cat 10 only thing is we got a really bad location directly under Wavebands Bar. I am working really hard to change rooms since both my boys are disabled and take meds to promote adequate sleep.

Keeping our fingers crossed.

 

[AprilTwins]

byejou sorry about your room location. I hope you can get it changed. We really like the location of our stateroom. It's close to everything but unfortunately we're right over the movie theater.

Kristi, (bound2travel)

I don't know if you received my PM with information. We are Deck 8, Category 4, Cabin 8542. (15th Anniversary / 1st Cruise Treat)

Staying night before at Beach Club. Just received yesterday Magical Express luggage tags . Does everyone else just start to itch once you get the luggage tags? The WDW magic starts to become reality.

Has everyone confirmed participation with you? Jasminerk13 asked if 39 people; 39 gifts. Have we lost someone? I thought we were up to 45 people (12 , 13 , 13 , and 7 ) and one puppy
