[Princesstiff3385]

This is my first time posting, I couldn't find this cruise posted anywhere. This will be my sons second cruise and he really would like to do the FE thing.

There are 3 in our room myself hubby, and ds (9). We are also traveling with family in other rooms as an anniversary cruise. Hubby and I 10 years, mom and stepfather 20 years, aunt and uncle 30 years it should be lots of fun!

Mickey Group

Princesstiff3385
Tiffany (mom), Mickey Mouse/Belle, 10th anniversary (in March but this is the earliest we could go)
Dave (dad), Roger Rabbit/Star Wars, 10th anniversary/non-milestone birthday 2 days after we get home
Shawn (9), Cars/Star Wars/Mickey, 10th birthday (10/22 but might as well celebrate Disney style)

Alyanna77. All Halloween fans!
Cyndi (me, the mom); too many "fave" characters, really - any of the princesses / fairies / dragons (I love Figment & Elliot) / Mickey & Minnie / etc; I'm allergic to fish but I doubt it'll come up in gifts
Jason (dad); Marvel / Star Wars / Carl from Up / Grumpy the dwarf/Nightmare before Christmas
Elliot (4); Disney Jr characters / Cars / Toy Story / Mickey & the gang; celebrating his 4th birthday (it's really before the cruise - we'll be at HS on the actual day); he can't eat hard candies yet but I can just give to his big sis if we do get any
Izzy (12); Stitch / any Wonderland characters / pirates / the "less cutesy" teen fairies (her description); celebrating her "un-birthday" since her brother's getting a full week of Disney birthday magic - I'd like to have FE gifts focused more on her, even if it means Elliot (or the adults) don't get some

[Alyanna77]

Yay! Finally someone else joining us on our cruise!

This is actually my family's first cruise, but we're going with my parents & younger brother, who are all Disney Cruise experts.

 

[Alyanna77]

Btw, congrats on all the anniversaries!
We're celebrating my son's 4th birthday, but we'll also have our 12yo daughter with us. I'm hoping to make it really special for both of them.

 

[Princesstiff3385]

I'm so glad we aren't the only ones anymore!! You guys will have a great time. We are he seasoned ones in our group with all the rest first timers with Disney.

 

[Alyanna77]

It's funny, I'm the newbie on our trip, but my parents just go & have fun while I'm like "I must plan everything!!!" - mostly to fill the loooong time until we get to go. LOL

I know you said your son wants to do FE (I had to look it up to remember what that was). If you want to make it a kid thing, I'm sure my 12yo daughter would be happy to participate.

 

[Princesstiff3385]

We could set up one, I've been kind of hoping someone else is on this cruise that has experience organizing an Fe and that you know we get more people. Lol. Thankfully we've got lots of time and I'm keeping myself occupied making things for us and the other family members traveling with us.

 

[Princesstiff3385]

Since we aren't alone on he boat I decided its time to make a F/E. Hopefully we'll get more people to participate before Oct but at least we both know we should have something hanging outside.

Now I suppose it's time to head out to ikea to pick up a starter and get to making it look pretty.

 

[IrishCowboy]

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list
Have a great cruise!

 

[Alyanna77]

Yay, we're official now!
Hopefully that'll get more people joining us.
But yeah, Tiff - I'm in even if it is just is 2! LOL
We don't have an Ikea very close (& we have so much time until the cruise), so I think I'm going to make ours. I'm debating a Brave theme - with the king, queen, Merida & 1 of the triplets. It would fit our family's ages/looks pretty well other than the red hair, & I found the cutest clipart pics I could use).

 

[Princesstiff3385]

I'm hoping so too but am in for just two if that's all we get.

I looked at the ikea one online and decided against it. I can sew and there's plenty of time so I'll make one that's more us too. It'll just push me to get my craft area cleaned up.

Hi. I just booked this cruise for my husband and I last night. It's our 5 year anniversary so I thought this would be bea great way to celebrate. We have never sailed on disney before so any info would be great. Looking forward to talking to you.

 

[Princesstiff3385]

Welcome we are celebrating our 10th anniversary on this cruise!! I've sailed disney a few times most when I was younger but we did this same cruise last Sept so feel free to ask away.

 

[Princesstiff3385]

Would you all like to have a facebook page set up to chat on or is this good?

Kristin would you be interested in participating in a Fish Extender exchange? I can start figuring out how to set one up for us soon.

 

[kristinmh99]

A Facebook page would be better for me. I seem to be on Facebook more than this then I have a tough time finding the thread. I have no idea what the exchange is. If u can give me more info then I can let you know. Thanks.

Before I forget to ask what kind of clothes do I need to bring for dinner?

 

[Princesstiff3385]

Ok I've started a facebook page, I think it'll be much easier for me on there too. This thread gets lost too easily but Dis does send me an email everyday that there is activity you may want to try that in case we get more cruisers.

Here's the link
