August 8, 2010 double dip!

Make sure if you have yours on order, to follow up to make sure it arrives on time. I think most of us that are ordering FE Extenders or pillow cases are ordering from the same source on Esty.com. I checked about our status (I'm the DH to QBNQT) and learned she is "catching" up on her orders. That said, she plans on having ours in the mail first thing next week which should be fine. We will be leaving for Orlando a week before the cruise so delivery time is cutting it close. Looking forward to this dream vacation. See you soon!

I just noticed that the ages for my children in cabin 5024 are reversed. I have a 12 year old girl and a 9 year old boy not a 12 year old boy and a 9 year old girl. I don't think it is a big deal but just wanted to let everyone know.

We are almost there!!!!

Hey Tony,

Is her name Jen by the way??? I placed my order on Monday and I told her I needed it right away. It's already been shipped as of yesterday and I had her expedite it to me (priority mail). What colors did you get? I got the 3 pocket primary color one. Jen is super nice lady and gave me lots of info. on the FE.

Does anyone know if there has been a meet-up actually scheduled? I guess I can go thru the 11 page discussion. But it would definitely be nice to meet the people we are doing the FE exchange with.

Well as to a Dis-Meet, I will make the same suggestion I embedded into a longer answer a couple pages back...

I would suggest Deck 10 Starboard midship overlooking the stage where the Sailaway party is to take place about 4pm (right after the mandatory equipment drill)...starboard is the side that overlooks the pier...

No, our FE extender is coming from Tiffany (aka gradysmommy) or something like that. Not too worried yet as she stated it will be in the mail next week. Plus her feedback is 100% positive. I believe colors are yellow and blue but it has been a while and 3 pocket sounds right. Counting down looking forward to the fun!

We'll make the update tonight.

Just a reminder for anyone still considering the FE exchange tracking this thread that we are off to Orlando Aug. 2nd. If we have access that final week prior, it will be limited. Therefore, any additions or changes are best done these next two weeks. "See you real soon!"

 

[aa053103]

I just got my fish extender today. I love it. If any of you still need one, I totally recommend Jen. She did this in 2 days. You can find her on etsy. Her shop is http://www.etsy.com/shop/StitchesNBows.

aa053103,

Love your FE! We still have not received ours but am not stressing about it yet. Hopefully by next week it will arrive.

ICEMANPAD,

I am hoping to be a part of the meet and greet so I will see you on

Deck 10 Starboard midship overlooking the stage where the Sailaway party is to take place about 4pm (right after the mandatory equipment drill)...starboard is the side that overlooks the pier...

Any suggestions how we will identify ourselves?

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Well I will be extremely easy to spot as I am 6'8" tall...that said, I can probably dig out one of the prior Dis-(somewhat fluorescent) green shirts from cruises past...

Chuck

 

[aa053103]

Well more than likely my family will be wearing all red with Mickey ears on our tees. I still have to get a tee for the hubby.

Question: how many times or how many FE exchanges are we doing? Any specific day scheduled?

 

[QBNQT]

Well then ICEMANPAD my family and I will look for you and hopefully others will do the same. I don't think we will have specific colors on so I believe that will be the easiest thing to do.

 

[NC DCL fans]

Wow - only 3 weeks left!!!! Yippeee.

We can't wait to meet all of you at our cruise meet! We'll race up to deck 10 starboard after the boat drill! We'll look for you Chuck!

QBNQT - Thanks for keeping our FE exchange list!

Should we call our FE list "final" maybe this weekend (or next weeknd) so we can all get stuff labeled and packed up! Just as some of you have mentioned, we're also leaving several days before the cruise to start our trip, so the next 2 weekends will be all that's left to finish up!

Castaway Cay - here we come! We'll race "ya'll" to pelican plunge!!

 

[bkoehl]

I second that closing request!

Welcome to: The August 8, 2010 Disney Wonder-Double Dip-Cruise Fish Extenders (FE) players list ,

Here is the beginning of our FE list. We will be doing individual choice for the gifts; either an individual gift or a cabin gift, it is up to you. If you would like to join the fun, let us know in your post. Please include:

• your cabin
• number of adults
• number (age and gender) of children
• special notes such as:
• allergies
• If for some reason you cabin number changes close to the sail date, or you upgrade your cabin at the port, that information needs to be shared with the rest of the FE group.
• If your cabin has a roommate situation, where you both are participating in the FE Exchange, but do not reside together in real life, please state that when you sign up. Each person would then be listed and each person would receive gifts of their own.

Please be aware that I will stop checking this thread on 8/1/10. I will compile a list and post it to the thread with all the information gathered to make our gift delivery easier. Any posts thereafter will be up to the individual to update on their list.

Thanks and ​

​

I was going to call the FE list closed as of 8/1/10. This way it gives people time to get the gifts together and since I will be leaving on the 8/2/10 I will not be checking the thread as often.

And your welcome NC DCL fans for your nice acknowledgement of the FE List. It has been fun seeing the list grow over the past weeks. It will be a pleasure to also put a face to a name.​

 

[ICEMANPAD]

An August 1st close is fine...any earlier potentially cuts out people who book last minute and there are still plenty of cabins available on the sailing....we know b/c we have booked as little as 2-3 weeks ahead of time due to various last minute promotions benefiting Florida residents...besides, if anyone joins the FE list this late, it is likely to only be 1 or 2 cabins and that also means more stuff for everyone..

[ICEMANPAD]

Well we picked up our FE delivery items today and will be making a single delivery rather than Oriental Trading multiple deliveries this time...

Chuck

 

[Silverfox97]

We will be making a single delivery to all of the cabins as well - probably Nassau day since we will be staying on the ship!!

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Hello from Roanoke, Virginia...where I eventually made it after my connection from Charlotte was cancelled .... now if only my clothes would arrive... though Macy's was open so i can go to Court tomorrow in pants and shirt rather than shorts...and it looks like my local counsel has a partner my size, amazingly, so i can borrow jacket and size 14 shoes tomorrow...

But let this be a lesson for anyone planning to fly in the day of the cruise...don't do it...

can you get me the link to the FE list - we are on the list - but I want to make sure i have the most current one and I can't seem to get to it!! thanks!!

We made our own FE this weekend - was afraid if i ordered one it would not be here in time. for a first try - it is pretty good - I think! We have all our goodies to deliver and my 5yo can't wait!!!

also - do we have a "meeting place" for us to try to get together and meet?? Thanks!!
