We've had a little discussion about when we should closing the first FE group and start the second one. I'd love to hear from those who have signed up. I guess I could set up a poll.

Maybe we can name the FE groups to distinguish between them. Early Bird FE and Newcomers FE come to mind. I don't want anyone to feel their group is the lesser the group and those names aren't very Disney. Maybe we should go with Mickey (1) and Donald (2).

Comments please

I'm new to this but have read on other threads that groups tend to be 100 - 120 people. Is this right? I have started looking around for inspiration and gad this figure in my head.
Are you thinking we should move to group 2 at a certain date or number of people? I like the idea of calling the groups mickey and Donald.

Sooo excited already, what will I be like by August?!?!

After thinking it over and overthinking it...I'm ready to commit to the FE! I guess I'm feeling a burst of creativity lately.

We upgraded to concierge at port on our last trip. We enjoyed the extras & we didn't even get the advantage of booking our plans 120 days in advance but here is what we enjoyed:

* Upon arrival onboard, they took care of booking everything extra we needed (alcohol seminars, rainforest room passes, excursions, etcs) - We were then given an internery of our selections
* Private Sundeck - the last trip was 100% for relaxation & being able to avoid people when we wanted was perfect
* Private Character Time - on last sea day, character came out at a special reception & ours was Stitch
* Being able to get a 2nd Palo Dinner without too much hassle when we politely asked
* Snacks seconds away for breakfast or during the day
* Access to Evian bottled water at all times (no needing to pay for it which was helpful on our walking excursion at St. Johns)
* Alcohol before dinner services
* Scale in the bathroom (although to some this isn't a perk)
* Never having to visit Guest Services as they will handled everything for you

Scale in the bathroom??? Note to self: first request of Concierge? Remove the scale!

As awful as it sounds, I didn't mind it. My husband enjoys his work outs so him knowing if we were putting on weight from a week of heavy eating was ok with him. I stopped getting on it after 2 days.

We usually would stop the FE list about 4 months out so that everyone has a chance to get on it.

I have uploaded a picture of my "Test" pattern for the T-Shirts that I am designing. The shirts will only cost what I spend on them so I will be trying to get shirt counts in a way so I can purchase everything as cheap as possible.

Get over to the FB page if you want to see the shirt pattern.

Thanks.

BTW... I have made custom magnets in the past, and would be willing to do it again. Get some ideas and let me know.

I didn't realise there was a Facebook group, I've just requested to join it

 

[Haidee]

Yeah I'm on the fb page too!!!

Hi everyone, I´m happy finding this group. We´ll be aboard on the Fantasy. It´ll be our second Disney Cruise. Firts was last summer on Med on the Magic.
We are from Spain and we are my husband Jose, my daugther Nuria and me, Emma.
I can´t wait

Lise G.... We are not sure about our cruise date now and may have to make changes. Will have to drop from the FE gift exchange until I reconfirm. Thanks.

 

[LiseG]

Welcome Emri

DW Emma, DH Jose and DD Nuria... we can't wait to meet you.

The Med Cruise... wow! We'd love to hear about it. Where are you from in Spain?

How old is Nuria? We have a special thread for the kids to meet each other.
Maybe she would like to meet my daughter Sabrina and some other new friends.

I hope we get to see you in August. Just let us know when you have a final decision.

 

[Emri]

Thank you Lisa!! We are from Asturias, in the North of Spain.
My daugther is 13, nearly 14 at cruise time. May be she is interesting but the language can be a hándicap to meet friends.

Hi Emri! What places did your Med cruise stop at? I have visited Europe a couple times, the last time was 13 yrs ago so it's been a long time ago and I never went to Spain. I would love to do the Med cruise but it's quite a bit more for us to fly into Barcelona. Maybe one year.....

Same here!!! That's my dream cruise!!

The Med cruise was great, fantastic!! Ports were Barcelona, Villefranche (Mónaco and Nice), La Spezia (Florence and Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome) and Nápoles (Pompeii). Highly recommended
