Hello Cruisers!!

I am thinking that we need have a cutoff date to sign up for FE's!! That way everyone have plenty of time to get their items together. I was thinking around October 21st!! Any thoughts??

Does anyone want to help out with getting the FE's organized?? Please let me know! You can send me a PM or post here!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

[M&M-Mommy]

So I thought I would start posting a tip a week. Feel free to post your own too! New and old..any advise always helps!!

This weeks tip...

Bring a pillowcase or a picture mat and some fabric markers or sharpies and drop them off at the Guest Service desk. They will get it signed by the characters and returned to your room before your departure! Its a great souvenir of your trip!!
I purchased a couple of personalized ones (pillowcases) off of the "ESTY" website. They are SO cute!! If you are interested..order early. The gal usually takes about a month to get it out to you.

And, we are working on FE gifts. October 21st sounds like a good date for a cut off. We are planning on leaving the Tuesday after Thanksgiving for WDW so that will give me about a month to get everything together.
We are looking forward to meeting everyone!!

With limited counter space in the bathrooms... get a "clear" over the door shoe organizer. They are great!! You can have everything you need at your finger tips!!

 

[mayonase]

We are undecided on joining the FE list at the present. We need to read more on the subjact to fuly understand the concept. Yes, we are "newbies" to Disney Cruises activities. Will let you know shortly.
Thanks for the welcome.

No problem! You have alot of time to decide!! Just let me know when you decide!!

Any suggestions on ground transportation fron MCO to Hotel (Radison) and from Port to MCO. We have 8 in our group. I have heard that alternate transportation is less expensive than transfers with the cruise lines when the group is as large as ours.

There are several limo services. We have used Happy Limo several times. This time, there are 7 of us and we just booked with the Disney transportation mostly so we don't have to handle our luggage!!

Hi There! We are also going to be on this cruise, and would love to participate in the FE. We had some friends who did this on their cruise a few years back right before Christmas. Their group did an Ornament exchange during a meet on the ship. I would love to arrange something like that too (in addition to the FE)
Nice to be here!

Welcome ikeymakes3 to the group!! Be sure to check out our website and add your name to the list! The Ornament exchange sounds like fun!! I think that would be a great activity to do for a meet!! Where the ornaments Disney themed?? or just any??
I think we should get a list going of people who want to participate and set something up!

We have a little smaller of a group with 5 people..we are doing a 1 way rental of a minivan. I believe it is with Budget. Much cheaper then the transfers and we can go at anytime. I like the limo idea too..but we are flying in early and need a car for our family activities planned.

 

[M&M-Mommy]

If you have joining rooms...be sure to pack a bungie cord for the door. Keeps people fingers safe too!!

Ornaments can be Disney themed (or not). We would just set a $$ limit, and do one per family? Feel free to pm me

 

[NickyKnack]

I think an ornament exchange would be a blast, count me in if we do it!
