A "Wonder"-ful NYE in Mexico 12/26/11

I need help. So, how do you do the gifts??? I have no clue. Like how many, how many days etc?? Please advise. Thanks!

Hey Everyone!! I'm getting so excited...it's almost time!!

Last weekend, we sent our girls on a scavenger hunt. The last clue led them to lunch where we told them about the trip. They were sooooo excited!!!!

Please correct me if I'm wrong; I've never participated in an FE group before. If I understand correctly, we are to set up our FE, and place "goodies" in each of the other participants' pockets sometime during the cruise. Is it something for the "family" or for each person?? And, are there any "meets" taking place?

Also, is anyone getting magnets for their door? Where are you getting them if you are?

This thread describes it in general, and there's a link at the bottom that goes into a ton of detail: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=33184281&postcount=2

Don't sweat -- there's no way to do it "wrong"!!

Hi Racegirl,

I was looking at the spreadsheet and it looks like we only have 3 pp with room numbers posted and 6 without. I don't have enough posts to contact the others, but do you have time? I want to make sure and get the right headcount so I can get the appropriate things for the FE. THANKS!!!! I really want to do this!

This is our first cruise, so I don't know the procedure. Is there a disboards meet planned once on board?
I would love to say Hi if there is.

 

[MyDisneyfamily]

I would love to meet up too. This is our second cruise (we just went on the same one in October), but first time going to disboards. Are you doing the fish extender?

Anyone recommendations on where and when to meet?? First night some time?? I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MyDisneyfamily]

I have another question. What is the easiest way to get magnet images? I found some posts, but nothing seems easily available? I had neighbors last cruise that had magnets that fit right over their door number as well as magnets with all kids names on them. I want to do that too!!! Any help?

 

[MyDisneyfamily]

Can you give me some good tips for FE items to purchase for the cruise. Some ideas would be really helpful! Thanks!

Where is everyone?? We need to set up a meet and greet and also finalize FE. Someone out there???

FE is on the Google Doc link

For a meet, we could meet up at that bar/lounge area (Promenade Lounge) in midship deck 3 (same deck as Guest Services and the main lobbyish area near Triton's) at what -- 3pm? on embarkation day. I think that's after the lifeboat drill, but I can't really remember from our first and only cruise last summer.

That sounds good calihannah.

Hi everyone, if you are going to participate in the Fish Extender exchange (SO MUCH FUN!!) please please please make sure you list your stateroom number in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...HRyWWZKZGlaN3huQS1tVnlTZHAtZEE&hl=en_US#gid=0 -- we won't know where to bring gifts if we don't have your stateroom number! I have some great things for the FE just waiting to go into my suitcase

 

[MyDisneyfamily]

I counted 12 of us so far. So, if that is the final number do we bring 12 things, each for the age/gender of the person? Should we contact the others that haven't responded?

I just spoke to DCL about possible changes in the Cruise Itinerary for this cruise since it goes from a Monday to Monday and we also have New Years Eve to celebrate. She said it will be a little different, but could not 100% confirm this itinerary.

monday - cruise casual
tuesday - formal night
wednessday - cruise casual
thursday - Pirate night **this is different, usually Pirate night is Friday**
friday - cruise casual
saturday - new Years eve - semi formal FUN!!
sunday - cruise casual

My fish extender came today....ordered it from EBay!! Door magnets are on their way!!

Question....are you guys planning on family gifts or individual gifts for each family member??

 

[travelingrlz]

Hi MyDisneyfamily!!
When you said that you counted 12...did you mean people or staterooms? I counted 16 people (5 staterooms).

Thank you for getting that info from DCL. Is your family planning to dress up for Pirate Night?

You can really do it however you want! I know that we'll be bringing one "family" type gift and then some additional things for the children, dependent on ages and genders. I'm hoping we have all of the stateroom numbers, because I have everything ready to go Worst case is that my older daughter and husband end up roaming the ship dropping things randomly into every FE they see Worse things could happen, right?

 

[travelingrlz]

Calihanah,

What was your "count?"

I counted 5 staterooms....16 people.
6614
7086
7628
2074 and 2076

Yes, that's right -- 4 "groups" so far with staterooms on the master list. Hopefully others will add their stateroom numbers soon so that we can deliver goodies to more people!

Thanks so much for that info.

I'm kinda disappointed about this itinerary, as I was hoping that New Year's Eve would be the formal night. Makes more sense to me, to dress- up then!
