I need to ask a kid cause they would know how to do this. I'll let you know what I find out. Cross you fingers

The 'young person' suggested we do it by email address. I am going to PM you with my info and let's see if that makes thing easy.

 

[Diannah]

I tried to find you on facebook, too, James, and your pic didn't come up. If you're both still having trouble, friend me (my name's a little more unique due to the spelling , and I'll sent a neighbor suggestion to each of you for the other. (Does that make sense? We had our first major dance rehearsal last night and my brain still hurts! )

Please put something about the cruise or the DIS boards in your request, so I don't ignore it. n:

peace,
Diannah

 

[Diannah]

Is anyone else GTY? If so, have you gotten your room assignment yet?

 

[jrp]

Hi All..
I need your last name Diannah as there are hundreds with your first nameAlsore you in the picture alone?
Yes we have a room of 7136, we got a handicapped room which is in the back of the ship but also is larger than the other rooms.. I have tried to put room numbers at the end of the name post when someone post them.. We have also completed our online checkin through Disney.... I would think everyone with a room number would be GTY.. As soon as you respond back I will try to find you on FB..Alrready made my door signs through Print Shop and have most of my magnets done.. Need to bring up my signs on photo paper. I then glue a clear page holder to a larger foam pad which I put magnetic tape to the back and can change out the pics as many times as I want.. I will post some as soon as I get back into my photo account.. The area around the pics on the foam I decorate with stickers of Mickey and such.. It is fun to see them.. I also have ears and such for the porthole on the door which I can send to anyone who wants them, I put the ears on magnetic paper and then cut them out....

Sorry. For some reason I thought my last name was posted here

Do we have the "rules" for the FE yet? I think we're going to participate, but don't know that we can handle gifts for everyone everyday. Are we doing daily or one per cruise gifts? Or are we winging it?

Do we need one FE pouch per person and do we need to label which belongs to whom? (Haven't done this before, can you tell? ) I've read on other threads that some FE's have been disappearing. I'm wondering if making each pouch with a closure (like a drawsting pouch or even a buckle closure) would help with that? Just starting to think about all of this at this point.

What sort of things are the usual type gifts? We're not drinkers, so shot glasses don't really interest us. What else do people tend to do?

 

[Amy Fran]

I know for breakfast and lunch we can opt out and do the buffet, but was curious about what the times would be for meals if we decided to just eat in the full service.

Any experience out there?

I know other people already responded about dinner times but, from your post, it sounds like you might need more info. Assigned seating at a specific time only applies to dinner. You are free to eat at any restaurant any time for breakfast & lunch & snacks throughout the day, provided that restaurant is open. (The daily navigator will list what time each restaurant is open each day.) If you are unable or just don't feel like making it to your assigned seating for dinner, you are free to eat upstairs with open seating instead (on the Magic, the restaurant is called Topsiders - I can't remember what it's called on the Wonder ). I hope that helps! --Amy

Hi all
As far as the FE's go there are really no rules.. My DW bought some Mickey Green material and but 2 pockets on then made a little loop at the top and we got a dowel which we then attached a ribbon to hang outside the room on the note hanger.. We then put our DISer name on the pockets with the craft glitter inks from a craft store..The gifts I think are more for the kids, but we did do one for everyone who participated for the adults.. You would be surprised what all we got.. One year we got a glass Mickey serving plate, shot glasses, and I think the little things from the dollar store for the kids..Bubbles, glasses, little do-dads.. It is fun to come back or wake up to something new in your FE.The first year they had the Pirate night I had 3 bags of beads and handed them out at the party.. Kids and parents thought I was part of the Disney crew with our outfits on.. Not this time though ( We lived in Florida then and drove to Cocoa Beach).. We have to search for the FE now or make a new one soon.. Hope that helps everyone on the FE.. Even leaving something for your own family is fun also..

Bye for now
James
p.s.
The restaurant is called the Beach Blanket

It doesn't look like there are too many kids in this bunch - I was thinking a FE gift per room. Do we have a count of how many will be participating?

Hi RCDisneyFan
From the list I agree about the little ones.. It looks like we only have a few under the teen age and that will be simple to gift for..If everyone on the "3 Hour tour Cruise" would please just post with a yes or nor for having a FE.,I will put it on the list behind the names.. I feel that one gift per room is appropriate and a very good idea. Lets hope everyone on the list will participate.. Here's hoping

The last group we did this with tried to bring something that pertained to their home state. Maryland is known for Old Bay seasoning so I gave sample packs to each cabin (not happening this time ). Magnet from home. Some even went as far as to make magnets with each person in the cabins name on them. It can be as simple as you want any little thing is a nice surprise.

Maybe goes without saying - we'll participate. We're in 7612.

Count us in for FE. I don't know my room # yet, but will let you know when do.

Hey, that's my original homestate. We've moved a lot so I claim many hometowns.
Ok, so-- would it be bad form to bring Old Bay with us for seasoning the bland (without OB) seafood?

Someone in my family really wanted to do this, lol. I've converted hubby to Maryland Bluestone, but do have to admit it is a lot less work to eat Dungeness than Maryland Bluestone. But less fun.

Hmm, off to think what we could bring.

Thanks Amy, That's what I was trying to figure out. I can let ds17 know he will be able to eat breakfast before going ashore.

Seriously, that boy is looking forward to the food more than anything. Major hollow leg syndrome.

Hi Everyone
Here is my FB link http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000879618378 Let me know if this works for you or not. I will up date the list with everyone who has left their room numbers and FE acknowledgement.. Have to take Roxie our Pomm to the groomers for a short cut for the summer time.. It is going to be in the 90's here by tomorrow. Man the weather is really crazy here in Texas. Started working on the door signs today and will take pictures of the progress to post here. I will post later on today..
