Question - I'm going through and organizing the FE gifts, and there are a couple on the list with TBD cabin numbers. Will those folks get their cabin numbers before we sail? If so, please post so we can find you Not sure how to find the cabins if they're not listed - this is just our second cruise and we had trouble last time finding people with changed cabins. (I'm not counting on Internet access once we're on the ship). Thanks!

That is part of the meetup at the lounge. Also I will have a dry erase board on my cabin for corrections as some people's cabin may change after arriving.

Hi! new here, haven't even figured out how to change my image yet. My 7 year old son and I, and my parents, will be on this cruise and we are excited. My son doesn't know yet. His 8th birthday will be while on board! I hope there is still room in an FE group for us stragglers! Hope to meet some of you in less than a month, how fun! =)

My son and I will be in one room, with my parents in the room next door. I am really looking forward to this for my kiddo, and my family. I have never been on a Disney Cruise before, but have been to Alaska, way back when I was 12.

Hi everyone! My husband is an avid pin trader, and he was wondering if anyone else is planning on bringing pins to trade.

 

[Kilted Candyman]

I love pins. Granted, despite having a couple hundred I am a dabbler. I have a carrying case that I bring with me for staff trading and a couple lanyards.

On another note we broke down and signed up for another port adventure. We signed up for the rain forest/bird sanctuary tour.

We normally take our "long" vacations in spring. We are so ready for this to start!!!!!!

My daughters will have pins to trade too, but we are new to the pin trading thing! Letting them trade for pins they like, not necessarily pins that are rare or valuable.

If you follow the link below it will take you to the FE thread. A third one is being opened now. I will save you a spot, just need the info to fill in.

Bummer!!!

Signed items have always been a treat for us.

[lasirenita]

Great to hear there will be some pin traders on board! My husband has a wide variety of pins & loves to trade with as many people as possible.

 

[skelster]

We have too many lanyards...we keep forgetting them and buy more for pin trading almost every trip!

 

[Carie Baker]

I couldn't find it again but someone asked about food allergies in FE1....we are in one and Colin is alergic to peanuts. Thanks for asking.

 

[skelster]

Anyone allergic to strawberries?

 

[Seamama]

Pin trading- Yes! Maybe folks can bring them to our Promenade Meet and Greet?

Character item signing- Bummer. I already bought something to leave at Guest Services. Deciding if I should return it or bring it to all the character meets... Or maybe I will decoupage it w/ pics from our cruise afterwards. It was this (http://www.target.com/p/anchor-with-rope-natural/-/A-16625171#prodSlot=medium_1_2&term=anchor), and would be a hassle to carry around. Plus, it sounds like they might not sign things other than autograph books at the character meets anyway, so maybe the decoupage thing is my best option.

Strawberries- No allergies here.

 

[Kilted Candyman]

Good with strawberries here.

Hope my "trade" pouch has some that people may want. My pouch is full of a bag I got off Ebay from one of the reputable dealers so no scrappers but I got them to trade with the crew so very few are going to be "I got to have that!"

We fly out in two weeks!!!!!

As my handle says I wear a kilt. My heritage is through the Gordons on my mother's side though I have been adopted by the Lamonts (long story). For those who may not know Clan Gordon has very strong military ties. The American chapter is very active with our service men and women. This year we have adopted the Marine unit of one of the member's son. As part of the adoption we are going to be sending them Christmas care-packages. As part of that I am cutting up a bunch of construction paper links like we use to use as kids to make chains. The idea is people can sign them, write notes, send wishes, ect on them before sending them off to the Marines.

I will be bringing a bunch with me for any who wish to sign them.
