Jessica forwarded several documents she has been working on that pertain to this cruise, so I told her I would publish them as Google Documents.

Here is one that has some general tips she has picked up around the Disboards

And here is one with Embarkation Tips (also from the Dis)

Thanks for those documents - they are a huge help!

I finally was able to get (very expensive ) flights from NY to Orlando for the cruise. Now I'm trying to figure out what we will do for excursions!

I can't wait for this trip - I need some relaxation!!

I would like to join the FE group if there are still openings. Thanks!

Michelle (adult)
Ken (adult)
2 DDs ages 6 and 9

I would also like to join the FB group, but since I don't have enough posts I'm not able to PM you. Once I rack up the post count I will send you a PM!

We don't know if we should do excursions, or just go with the flow and explore on our own. This is our first Disney cruise, so either way, we can't go wrong.
Awwww, relaxation, here we come!

I have been on other cruises and we have always done excursions. However, that was before kids! I'm thinking the excursions will be our chance to show the kids the islands they are visiting (Ken and I have been to all the locations except for Key West before).

I think I have spent the better part of today reading the FE thread - wow there are some creative people here! I, however, am not one of them

This will be our first vacation w/o our 2 DS's With that being said, we aren't doing the FE. We decided to do that when we have them on our next cruise! We've been to Key West and Cozumel, but that was 14 years ago.

We'd love to have you join the FE group! If you are comfortable you can post your girls' names here, or on the Facebook page. Also, please let me know with a post as soon as you know your stateroom number.

You're very welcome! Jessica pulled the documents together, I just published them for her on Google Docs. I have 3 more to post links to as well

Yes, I find that FE thread to be very compelling too I'm not very creative either, but luckily my mom helped me sew ours. As far as the gifts, I tend to keep those very simple too!

Hi Everyone!
I've just posted a poll for those who are participating in the FE exchange (located at the top of the page). If you've already signed up, please take a moment to indicate when you'd like to have the list finalized.

Thanks!

We are going to try and get dinner or brunch at Palo! Excursions- still not sure- we're going back and forth on if we should or just explore.

 

[jasec2]

Here's hoping for a brunch! Not holding my breath but we'll see!!!

 

[mgroshans]

Almost time! We're just excited to do online check in!
