Who - Jeff - Lily - Molly dd - philip ds - best friends Debbie and Phil
Why- it is a long story wife has always wanted to go on a cruise and i always talked her out thinking it was just not the right time so fast foward 12 years later and 2 kids . Disney decided on the new ship called the Dream . Now was the time so i booked and ask my co-worker / best friend to join us she jumpped on it since there honeymoon cruise was a nightmare she said .
So here started our magical sea and land trip .
When - August 26-28th Then the Dream 8-28 - 9-1 then to Disney 9-1 - 9-6

I really did not think a cruise would be as much planning as a park but when i first started to plan i thought i was out of my league . but slowly and surely i started to read more and more but till the ship was cristened there was not much i could do till people started to break this magnifecent ship in . and word of mouth has helped me relax as well as alot of dis friends on my cruise . here is a few things im looking foward to do on my cruise .
1. aqua duck
2. FE 1st time will post picture of the one i made (and will never do that again lol)
3. enjoying the bahamas or how much we will see
4. Castaway cay
5. meeting all the wounderful Dis friends i have made on my thread for my cruise Especially the magical one that has helped me alot with my FE list .
we will be trying to do as much as we can on this 4 day cruise without going crazy . I think my most favorite part of all is to spend as much time with my wife as possible while the kids are in the oceaneers club . it has been a really long long time since we had mommy and daddy time . I'm down to under 85 days and counting for my most amazing trip ever .
 
I have a friend that made me a special mickey for me to make a shirt what do you guys think?

here is our plans
leaving NY on 8/26 at 2:31pm arriving at mco at 5:21pm then off to get rental car then it is hi ho hi ho off to port canveral we go on arrival we are staying at the best western for 2 nights before cruise . morning of cruise i will drop everyone at port while i return the car and take bus back to port .
catch up with everyone and hoping to get on early pixies 1st or 2nd boarding . then 4 magical days on the Dream . on the return i will go pick up car then toss a coin to get everyone lol then we are headed to BWV but i have to drop friends at there timeshare just outside of disney . we have BWV for 4 nights then we added an extra night at pop .
all i will say after my last trip of 9 days i said too much for me i'm hoping i can last thru a total of a 12 day trip this time:wizard:

Hello! I am here as well! Great start Jeff, so nice to see pics of the family. Looking forward to more!
 
Can you explain the FE "rules". I looked for the list but couldn't find it.

From what I can remember "each person on the FE list leaves a little something for everyone on the FE list." What are some recent examples of FE items?
Thanks for all your help!

Hi Stephine ,
this is going to be my first FE so i understand it a bit but the link for the FE
is on post #28 on my other thread for the cruise Dizneeat has the link in that post . and if you look around i think Karin also posted some things for the FE
I bought a few disney related items and im making a few things too . also you can either give to everyone or something for the whole family hope this helps .
Just one suggestion i made my own FE it has a few imperfections but i love it if you are not creative just buy one they make the on line i think etsay.com
has them .
any other ?? feel free to ask :wizard:
