You all are so impressive! I am in awe and you all scared little ole' craft-challenged me so much I backed out of the FE for our cruise. I bow to you all!!! You won.

Oh, and what is the name of the 'Disney' writing? Where do you find it???

Thank you!!!

Just search on Google for Waltograph font.

NYAna,

Those Pluto pillows are AWESOME!!!! My daughter would have dropped over passed out cold on the cabin floor if she had gotten one of those. Pluto is her fave! Too cute!

That passport was very creative. My son loves science, planets, stars, etc and that would have been a big hit!!

This is my take on the painted frames for my FE. (I did put my stamp on it) hehe ----
I made 51 for our cruise last week. Most people liked them.

Awwwww, geeeez Robb. Had I known about your passports I would've played the FE game for sure! Awesome job!!!

Coulda, woulda, shoulda! That's what you get for voting strawberry!!! Maybe in another decade or so when we can afford to cruise DCL-style again!

I see the err of my ways.

I'm placing basic highlighters in my FE bags and was hoping my fellow DISers could help me come up with a creative saying to place on the label.

Something along the lines of...

Enjoy (or Cherish or Savor) the "highlights" of your Disney Dream vacation!

Any other suggestions?

Thanks, Stephanie, I enjoyed making them.

Oh, don't leave! From my experience, this thread showcases many of the uber creative homemade gifts. There are lots of other items that are just as wonderful. We loved getting macadamia nuts from a Hawaiian family, key chains from across the country, post cards, pirate booty, and fun little trinkets from all over. I like to gawk at this thread but my contributions to FEs are given with just as much love but much less craft skill involved.

Can I get an opinion please??? I just the other day thought of a FE gift that isn't too difficult, but I haven't seen anyone do it! So.

IF YOU'RE ON THE 8 NIGHT HOLIDAY CRUISE ON THE MAGIC PLEASE SKIP AHEAD! lol

I thought it would be a cute idea to pick up some of those little "brag book" photo albums (the ones with 20-24 pages to them). Then on every other page, put one of the clues to the ship's Hidden Mickeys, leaving the facing page open for a picture of that HM. So each family could use the clues to find them, take a picture of it (maybe even with them by it!) and put them in the book.

Good idea? Lame? I know for many FE participants, it's "not their first rodeo"...but I also know that not everyone has actually done the HM search. What does everybody think?

This is a fabulous idea.....I know I would enjoy something like that!

I think that's a great idea. I would love to get something like that early on in the cruise so that we would have time to find all of them throughout the cruise. We've been on two disney cruises so far, but haven't done any sort of hidden mickey search.

 

[mbbarron]

Phenomenal idea and you don't have to be "crafty" to put this together easily! Plus fun for both kids and adults. I love it!!!

 

[ravensilverlight]

Thanks for the quick replies! DH and I are thinking it would be best to put these together and make our rounds on embarkation day, so everyone has a week to look...I know one or two are a bit hard to find!

Cindy,
This is what I tried telling you on our cruise meet thread. You do not have to compete with the people on this thread. Buy candy that's 50-75% off right now. Yesterday at Walmart they had packs of 3 glowing bracelets from Halloween for .10 a pack. Easy regional things, etc. I gave other ideas on my earlier post to you.
I'm going to PM you the truely easy thing I am giving for my FE so that you know how really easy this can be.

I love this idea! Going to put that in a file for next time (hopefully, I can find it when I need it ).
