Okay my first set of questions
I see that the days were posted for the FE. Now what exactly does it mean when your name is on a set day or on surprise ? I'm set as surprise will i also be assigned a day ? Do I deliver to every family ? Like I said this is all new to us. Thanks for including us in.
Up until June 21st I did assign people days and times to spread everyone out so we would get a few deliveries a day. If their name is on a day and time, they will deliver to the cabins on the list on that day and timeframe. Since then anyone who has joined has been given an any time delivery, which simply means, you deliver to all the cabins, any day, any time that you have the time. Probably half the people on the list would want that option, but they were assigned days and times so everyone didn't deliver on a sea day and we would get an even amount of deliveries throughout the week. Since we have 5 deliveries on sea days and 3 or 4 on most port days, I have just let anyone joining late deliver whenever they want to. To answer your second question, yes you deliver to all families on the list. Since we are past the June 21st date(original cut off that would guarantee you delivery from everyone), you may not get deliveries from every family, I have had quite a few reply that they had enough extras for anyone joining late, I definitely do, as well as my stepson, but can't guarantee that everyone will, since we don't hear from a lot of the people on the list(not regulars on the boards, just want to do FE), especially the closer it gets to the cruise. Some people have ordered things, or bought supplies to make things, and if they run out, they may not have time to get more, or to make more of whatever they are doing. Personally, we hadn't had anyone join in a few weeks, so I made my bags with a couple of extra. I now am getting some more things, as I want to make sure I have enough to cover everyone who wants to be involved. In the last couple of days we have had 2 more join, with several others asking about it.
As far as the actual gift, we set no spending limit, that way any family could participate at a level they were comfortable spending, it is not about the cost, but the fun we have all week getting our little gifts, some families will spend more, some less, but it is the thought that goes into the gift that counts, not what was spent. The gifts themselves can be anything such as candy, postcards, something unique from where you live, anything disney, homemade scrapbook pages, picture frames, the list goes on and on, just use your imagination. You can deliver one per cabin, one for every person in the cabin, one just for the kids, or I have 1 gift bag for the adults in the room to share and one for each child in the room, it is totally up to you.
This part of the note is more for anyone else out there thinking about it. The absolute last day we will take anyone to join is Aug 9th, so I hope anyone else trying to decide whether to join or not lets us know soon, the earlier the better.
Hope this helps, please ask away if there is anything else you need to know. I check these boards a few times a day, so I usually will get back to you pretty quick.
as he will have to travel with it.

I am on the adult meal plan because that is for people 10 and older. Does this help in figuring out the best way to get 2 table services for Artist Point? Katiefigment:
