Galveston 04/06/13 Caribbean Cruise

[Esmeralda048]

Hi Everyone!

My family and I are taking our first Disney cruise, and I'm not sure who is more excited...me or my girls (6 and 4 and a half year old)! I've spent the last hour reading through all the old posts, and I know you're closing out the FE date this Friday, so I'm hoping to get my family on the list. We're flying out from Chicago and can't wait to sail the sea!

We're staying in cabin 1046:
Esmeralda (me) 35
My husband, Alex 33
Liliana 6
Anabella 4

Both girls love anything Princess, Mickey, or Minnie

Really looking forward to meeting new people and making memories that will last a lifetime!

Mikka-
I do have one quick question...do we pass out a FE each day of the trip or once throughout the whole cruise...just want to plan accordingly! Can't wait to get started!
Thanks...and a HUGE thanks for getting all of this organized!

Good question! I am planning one gift for each cabin member. But you can prepare a gift per cabin, if you would like. You can deliver your gifts any day in the cruise. Delivering a gift to deliver everyday would be too hard to prepare and accomplish ( I believe) so once is GREAT.
thanks for the appreciation

40 days!!! we're getting excited here too! We just told our grandkids this weekend. We spent grandpa's birthday in Galveston, and he gave them gifts instead of getting gifts. Stella woke up yesterday morning and asked if we were going on our cruise today! So cute

We could see the Magic from the ferris wheel on Pleasure Pier!!

We are doing 1 general FE per cabin and 1 more specific FE per kid based on their age.

Can't wait to meet everyone! Sam is so happy to see all the girls close to her age (11). She's still into the Oceaneer vs Edge. She had a blast last December, and the FE makes it all that much more exciting!

Okay Guys... I tried to start and split the FE group! Group Donald has 16 adults , 16 kids (32 total) and 9 cabins. Group Goofy has 18 adults, 13 kids (31 total) and 9 cabins. There is some information missing from some people so it is hard to account for this cabin. I will add any families that want to join until March 1 and put them into groups accordingly.
If you guys have any thoughts, concerns... let me know. Thanks!!
If you can plug any missing info in, it would be helpful.
Happy weekend!

Cabin is next to ours but not sure on exact number - will find out ASAP.
Jenni's favorite character is Alice but loves all Alice in Wonderland. Jasper loves Donald Duck.

Our cabin is #7544 - noticed it was missing on the google worksheet.

Thanks!!! Can't wait!!!!!

Yeah, so glad that you will be able to cruise with us.

So I'm new to the FE and was wondering what do you hang your FE on? Is there a hook or something outside our cabin door, or do I have to bring something to hang it on?

Thanks,
Esmeralda

Here is a great thread that shows off people's Fish Extender. It shows great pics and It gives a good idea of the type people do. Homemade or ordered off etsy or ebay. Yes, There is a fish outside your door. You hang your extender from the fish. I am bringing zip ties so my FE doesn't "run away". You can zip tie the ribbon together around the fish, you just have to bring scissors to get it off.

woot woot, we're getting so close!! I hope everyone checks in with their room numbers.

I need to get busy with my FE's. I have it all planned out, but not quite there with the actual putting it all together!

Fun fun!!

We were finally assigned a cabin number. We are in 8528. Mikka please let me know which FE group my family will be in. We are very excited that my doctor has given us the thumbs up on the cruise. We will deal with treatment when we return.

Hey guys, Angela (montescruisers) was so nice and created us a Facebook group for our sail date.
http://m.facebook.com/home.php?_rdr#!/groups/533099046730097?ref=bookmark&__user=100000679145016

I in no way want to take the group away from the DISboards, I know there are people that do not have facebook. (I have been on a facebook break for a few years until finding out I am going to be a new aunt)
I still plan on updating everything on here!
Facebook will just be nice to put faces with names we are chatting with. If you want, go over and join the group.
See you soon!
Mikka
