[Disneynut64]

We just booked this cruise, nothing like being last minute LOL. I see alot of people from florida. Even see some from same county (polk) and neighboring counties.

Hi! I found this yesterday after 6 hours of reading this CRAZY disboard. This is our first cruise too! We are so excited! Our son is 9 and daughter 7 (April 26- almost). From outside of Denver. What is the meet and greet? Tonya

I am just curious - how many people are sailing in your party? I want to see if we can upgrade cabins but we were told rooms for 4 were sold out.

Welcome to our newly booked cruisers!

I am re-posting an updated list of everyone who has posted that they are cruising on the April 11th 4 Night Cruise. If you would like information added (family names, stateroom number) or would like to take part in the Cruise Meet (see information below), please let me know!

We ended up with 7 cabins for the FE gift exchange ... that list is now closed to allow everyone enough time to get their gifts together. If you signed up for the gift exchange, the information can also be found below.

Less than two weeks to go, guys! Weather in Florida is warming up, so I am hoping for no surprises as far as chilly winds and water too cold to stick your toes in ... we really want to try out Pelican Plunge. Happy planning!

I am just curious - how many people are sailing in your party? I want to see if we can upgrade cabins but we were told rooms for 4 were sold out.

we have 3 sailing and the only thing left was inside gty.

 

[Okiegal]

To any of the newbies- I am willing to do our own FE with three or four families. Please let me know if interested. Sounds like fun but I learned about it too late to join the others. Thanks! Tonya

 

[degrapevine]

Tonya,

We just closed the FE gift exchange list yesterday ... with two weeks to go, we needed to have a set list of those participating in order to start getting gifts together. Even though we have a small group, I give daily gifts to both the adults and children, so I really need to get started! If you would like, we can add you to the list - You may not get gifts from everyone if they have already gotten all theirs together, but I know that I haven't started yet, so I'd be happy to add your family to my list. Just let me know. I'd need the names and ages of your family members that are cruising as well as your stateroom number. Thanks!

Rose

 

[Okiegal]

Rose-

Thanks so much! We would love to be a part. Family members are - Mark (44), self (37), son (9), and daughter (7). Please give me some gift ideas. I have seen/gotten some already but need help. I am not crafty and will not be (unfortunately) doing any scrapbook type things! Our stateroom is 2109 (at the bottom of the boat!)

Tonya

 

[degrapevine]

Okay, everyone ...

So I added Okiegal (Tonya) and her family's information to the list in the post above (Post #144). They are now included in the FE Gift Exchange, which brings our total # of cabins up to 7. Please, if you are able to and have not already finalized all your gifts, try to include them in your gifts as you get them together.

Remember, the FE gifts don't have to be homemade, crafty things, although if you are talented in that area, go for it! You can gift items from your hometown (postcards, magnets, pens/pencils, keychains, regional food, college stuff), practical item to use during the cruise, things for the beach at CC, pirate themed stuff, anything Disney, snacks and candy (okay to bring onboard in sealed packages), small toys and trinkets, party things (for Pirate Night), coloring books/crayons (for the little ones), or really ANYTHING you can think of! The idea is not to make it difficult for you, but to just put little surprises together for the other cruisers on the list as a way to make their vacation more fun.

Don't forget about the Cruise Meet in the Promenade Lounge at 3 PM on Embarkation Day. Even if you're not doing the FE Gift Exchange, please stop by to say hello!

Just got room assignment. 2043 and disboard neighbors.

 

[jestersgypsy]

Tonya,
Would you mind giving us the names of your son and daughter? I am still looking for FE gifts.

Cindy

PS If you are interested in decorating your door, you need to go to creative disigns and look for milliepie. She has some fabulous designs and will personalize them for your family. She does this free of charge.

 

[jestersgypsy]

Ok, I have a favor to ask. For the ones of us that are still putting together our FE gifts, would you please list things that your kids and teenagers like. For instance, their favorite color, do they like "Twilight" (my daughter, Ashley, is crazy for "Twilight"!), etc. I know for me, it just helps me while I shop. Have I told you before that I love to shop? I do! I do! I do! See you soon.

Cindy

 

[degrapevine]

Cindy,

Great idea about getting ideas for the kids! As for my kids, my oldest Eric (15) likes Hot Tamales and Big Red gum, my middle child Patrick (11) really likes "5" gum in Zing flavor and plays the guitar (picks or anything musical), and my daughter Gina (9) is really into peace signs right now and her favorite color is lime green. Hope this helps!

Rose

 

[Angel51201]

Hi Cindy,
This info gathering can help several of us, I'm sure. Brianna loves Twilight too, and is a member of "Team Edward". She's also into Winnie the Pooh, reading and her favorite colors are purple & orange.

Feeling excited,

 

[jestersgypsy]

Like I stated in a previous post, my daughter Ashley is crazy about "Twilight". She is on both Team Edward and Team Jacob!!! She is a girlie girl and she loves the color pink. She also loves any kind of gum or candy.

Hi

Creative Designs is it a web site? I am curious to see what she has.

Thanks
Leslie

Jestersgypsy

I found her, never mind, WOW, she has great stuff. I will have to use her next time, a friend of mine did a sign for us, and I also made some things.

Leslie

 

[jestersgypsy]

Leslie,
If you change her mind, just email her and tell her what you want. Her turn around time is really fast!!!

See you soon!

Cindy

 

[debfromALa]

Hi Deb - I have a 7 year old also, a son - and a daughter who is 4 1/2. Look forward to meeting you on board!

Sounds great!!! we are very excited. or at least I am getting giddy LOL
Deb

 

[Okiegal]

Cindy-

Sorry I am just replying. My son (Conner) is 9 and my daughter (Kennady) is almost 7. His favorite color is blue, likes Star Wars, Star Trek, Transformers, and Bionicles. Any typical boy thing. Kennady loves anything pink (another girlie girl), Taylor Swift, Hannah Montana, or any Princess or Fairy!! My children are not picky at all. Hope this helps! Thanks for including us! I am so excited!!!
