Fish Extender Group- May 16, 2015 Fantasy 7 Night Western Caribbean

[lydibugmom]

Thank you for having me back! Vennessa, thanks for your patience while I came to my senses . To all of the lovely fellow cruisers who joined the group during my brief lapse of judgment, welcome!

 

[Keggygirl]

My In-Laws are going to be cruising with us and would love to be added to the FE list. I do not have their stateroom number right now, but can post later.
The Kegarise Family
Bob (Dad/Pee-Paw)
Dina (Mom/Mee-Maw)
Katie (17)

Dad is celebrating retirement!! Mom and Katie are Diva's, they love the Princesses and anything girlie! I can get them a list if you would just send to my email, keggygirl@msn.com

Thank you! We are super excited to start preparing our gifts and look forward to meeting you on the cruise!

 

[Vennessa R.]

They're on Keggygirl!

Just a reminder, this FE list closes in 2 days at Midnight on April 16th.

If you have not posted your cabin number yet please do so as soon as you get it, we need to know where these amazing presents need to go!

My son is so excited to be visiting Mickey Mouse's house- he asks every day if we're leaving now. He also is loving helping put together the FE presents. He is asking if he can help deliver them.

This is my first vacation in 11 years and my first cruise, I'm getting excited but a little jittery- the only way I agreed to a cruise was if it was a Disney cruise so if I get too nervous (I HATE open water) it can be all about the Littles. Anyone who has done this before have a word of encouragement? I'm a farm gal from Colorado, no open water here.

 

[Keggygirl]

Thanks!!

We have been on two other cruises. We went to the dr prior to and got a script for sea sickness patches. We wore them the whole time on the first cruise and wasn't effected at all. Although when we got home I had terrible dizziness. I think it was because I kept b the patch on the whole time. Then on the second I wore mine for the first few days then took it off. I had no effects of sea sickness. No problems afterwards either. You don't even realize you are on the water most of the time. Best vacations we have ever had. So looking forward to this one, as it is our first Disney Cruise!!!

Just a friendly reminder, this FE list closes in 3 days. To be fair to all participants who wanted 30 days to make FE gifts we will not be able to accommodate people who want to sign up after the cutoff of Midnight April 16th.

I will update my list and send you final version.

 

[Leslie1027]

There are so far a total of 13 families, unless we get any new ones with in the next couple of hours.

I think that we should split the nights up and have two families assigned to deliver each night. This will make it easier for those of us who plan on giving out gifts only one night of the cruise. Those we want to deliver gifts on more nights are welcome to also do so outside of their assigned date. This will avoid possibly having one big delivery and ensure that the small kids can expect something each night.

Is anyone opposed to this? Or does not like the idea?

If this works for you guys each family can just share the date they want to deliver, we can keep it to 2 families per night. Any different suggestions? If you don't want to choose a night one can be assigned.

I love this idea!! I would like to do Monday the 18th along with My In-Laws if that date is open.

 

[Vennessa R.]

Sounds Fine KeggyGirl! That's my birthday!

 

[Vennessa R.]

Here is the FE List in a handy print friendly .PDF Leslie1027's list is much prettier (If you ask nicely she might share hers).

The idea has been floated to give out gifts on different nights to spread out the fun. If you want to be assigned a day each name has a day to deliver in the spreadsheet, if you want to give your delivery on the first night or any other night go ahead and ignore the suggested delivery date. If you wish to give out small things on multiple nights please do so at your discretion. Please do not feel obligated to give more than one thing or to give out presents on your delivery night if you already have a plan or want to empty our your suitcase on the first night. This is all for the fun so enjoy!

If there is incorrect information please let me know- if we are missing your stateroom number please post it as soon as possible!

Hi Vennessa

Our Stateroom is 6024

Also, Kaia is 4, not 3 and loves Disney Princesses!

 

[ayz75]

Thanks Vanessa for organizing! Looking forward to the cruise!

 

[Keggygirl]

They're on Keggygirl!

Thanks. Their stateroom is 6028. Sorry for not getting it sooner !!

 

[lydibugmom]

Love the idea of splitting up nights to spread out the fun!

One correction and one addition for the beautiful list. In case it matters for search purposes, my handle is lydibugmom (Lydia is our lydibug). We're celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary on May 21st (Happy Birthday, Natalie!) - I just enjoy seeing it in print . Thanks so much!

 

[Vennessa R.]

Thank you for all the corrections- a TBI a few years ago sometimes makes me miss smaller details. The Official final list will post on the morning of the 17th (Cause I'm not posting at midnight on the 16th- I gots to get my mama sleep!)

 

[Keggygirl]

Vennessa thanks so much for organizing all of this. We are super excited!! I have found a few ideas I really like. Wish i would have know about this sooner, would have had more time to plan something better. My mother-in-law is starting to "let her imagination run!" Can't wait for the cruise! I really hope we decide on a day and time to meet up on the ship!!

 

[Keggygirl]

Sounds Fine KeggyGirl! That's my birthday!

That's awesome. Mine is a few days before we sail. Our 15th Anniversary is 2 weeks after we get back (but the prices were more reasonable for this cruise than waiting)

 

[Leslie1027]

attached is the PDF version of the fish extender list i created. Just a tad different from the 1st one, but all the same info nonetheless. Enjoy!

This is our 1st big vacation out of the state, and our 1st cruise ever. I may be more excited than my kids and fiancé combined.

Nadyas birthday is just one month before we sail so this was presented to her as a birthday gift. Izaaks birthday with be a few days after we land so we will also be celebrating his birthday on board. I hope I get to meet some of you while on board. I was very excited to see more kids around my daughters age join as she is very involved in making all the gifts.

We are getting very excited and everyday count how many days until cruise and how many school days until we leave for the cruise. My kids understand the conscept of time but I think they think the time will magically speed up.

We are wondering if we could switch delivery nights with someone. I know we can give any night but I do also like the idea of not over loading one day. Our gifts are best used on the cruise so we were hoping for earlier in the week.

One more thing, we are boring and don't drink alcohol, sorry.

Thanks everyone
