Dream Thanksgiving cruise Nov 23, 2015

[WDW1974]

I am willing to organize a mixology class - for those interested PM me.

A meet sounds great! We would be interested in a poker game.

This is our first cruise but we definitely want to do a mixology class

We are thinking about adding another day to our vacation. We would go to WDW MVMCP on Friday before cruise. We have never been to MVMCP. Has anyone been before and is it worth the money?

THANKSGIVING DREAMERS

We just booked this cruise this morning. We have been waiting for Disney to release the dates!
We are a family of four with two girls who will be aged 16 and 10 by the time we cruise. My brother and his family will be joining us along with my mom and her husband. Possibly more families will join us. I am looking forward to seeing the ship, island and WDW dressed up for Christmas. I have never been to WDW at Christmas.

We are from marrero! I am buying my fe from etsy.com but I'm not too crafty. You could probably look on pinterest on instructions on how to make your own. As far as the exchange actually goes, it's really your preference. Some people buy a gift for the cabin as well as for the kids and some just buy for the kids. Last time most of the gifts were disney related, stuff for pirate night, or things from your home town. They probably have more in depth instructions in other posts but that's the gist of it! Hope that helps! I'll add you guys to the spreadsheet and can't wait to meet you guys!

Thanks for information, I will definitely be checking it out! I hope to let my girls help me make the gifts over the summer. So excited to see so many people so close to our room in this group! Can wait to cruise and meet everyone.

Miller Family and Carpenter Family

I have added you both to the first post. Sorry it took so long. I was at Disneyland running the Tinkerbell half marathon on Mother's Day! I am just now getting back to reality

On page 5 of this thread I have posted a couple of links that describe the whole FE thing but there is lots of info and ideas out there. All you have to do is look (or google)

 

[babyburrito]

Southwest Airlines released the flights today for the November dates. I just grabbed two flights using points, now I have to wait for Frontier to release their dates so I can book the other two flights. My ticket has not been booked yet! The prices were about $100 higher than we usually pay to go to Orlando. That was booking Friday to Friday. Saturday was much higher.

 

[Skin2000]

I just booked our flights through SW!! We paid for two tickets with points. Love to save $$$. Glad we changed our dates to Friday to Friday if tickets are much higher

Exline Family, Cabin 8548, from GA, Dis name: Mindertaz, Me (39), DS(10), DD(8), FE - Undecided (1st Disney Cruise for us). Also in the cabin will be my brother (37).
Next door (8546) will be my mom (67) and dad (68). Mom cruised on the Magic several years ago. The rest of us are all first time Disney Cruisers.

I Just checked and flight on way home dropped a little bit. Maybe yours did too.

Were you looking at points or $$$?

 

[babyburrito]

I just checked the flights again and flight we booked going there is now unavailable and the return flight is now requiring 1000 more points to book then when we booked.

 

[babyburrito]

Exline Family!
I will get your info in the first post.
