Cool! Thanks!

OK...now for the next question...what is a photopass share and a wishes share??? (I know what a photopass is, but that's where my knowledge ends....).

I can work with you Wachnicki...Here pretty much what was posted on the board last time I did this

If everyone is in agreement, I say the cutoff date for participation should be on or very near July. 10 (plenty of time). So far, there are 5 joining in including myself. If someone wants to get separate gifts for children/adults then we'll need to know the number/ages of children in each stateroom as folks sign up. If not, then I guess this info isn't necessary. Obviously, we'll need everyone participating in the FEE to provide their stateroom #. Other info that may be needed would be things like number of folks in each stateroom, real names and a list of food allergies in case someone wants to gift a food item. Good to have couple of us working on it...In case plans change of someone.

So...I'm new at this, but I've been reading up about the FE on the forums. Should we plan on doing family gifts, then each family would also have the option of doing something small for the kids if they want to?? That way, those with a limited amount of packing space (like those who are flying) don't have to carry 50+ items with them. Or give each family the option of doing either one family gift or individual things for each member? Ideas?? Thoughts from those who are more experienced at this??

 

[k2ssss]

We did our first FE exchange 2 years ago on a cruise. We had about 15 families on the FE exchange. We ending up doing one little package for each family. It gets tough to add to much to your luggage. (we flying in also). Other families did same type of things. We got things such as rubber ducks, little sticky notepads with cruise date, magnets with cruise date, dream catcher, little puzzles for kids, beach balls, silly bands, bookmarks, little DCL bags, and candies. The kids really enjoy it the most. They could not wait till they go back to the room and see what was there. Hope that helps a little....

 

[moobear67]

Sure does...thanks! My daughter is in the process of designing our FE bag. She's very creative, and she can sew (I can't sew), so I can't wait to see what she comes up with.

 

[wachnicki]

Yeah! We're going to have fun! I need to look up our cabin number then I'll post our info. I was thinking a cabin gift with maybe a little something extra for the kids....

My DD10 is looking for a "pre cruise friend". Anyone out there have a child around that age that she could become a penpal with?

My three granddaughters are all around that age. Time of cruise they will be Sami, 9 going into 4th grade, Megan, 10 going to 5th, Paige, 11 going to 6th. Paige will be the only one old enough for the pre-teen area (she'll be 12 six weeks after the cruise).

Our oldest grandson will be 16 this coming Wed (2/15) and he's really looking forward to this cruise too. Other GS will be 14 in two weeks - so they will both be in the teen area together. Our little guy will be six in a week.

So excited for this cruise...

Hi Gail,
Would your granddaughters be interested in "meeting" someone their own age pre cruise via penpal? We could do it by email if that would be more comfortable.....my DD is 10 and will be going into the 5th grade when we sail so you granddaughters sound perfect!

DH, DGS (8) and I will be at BLT 3 nights before the cruise. We like to have some alone time with each DGC when they turn 8. Will anyone else be at WDW before the cruise? Anyone at BLT?

I'm seeing all three tomorrow and I know they'd all be interested. The oldest said she'd like to email. I could email you all three emails for each girl and they could do group emails.

We'll be at WDW for three nights before the cruise with four of the six grands. What is BLT? I know it's probably one of the resorts, but which one?

Bay Lake Tower, next to the Contemporary. We're members of DVC. DGS really likes the community center there, so that's where he asked us to stay.
