Jammin' to Jamaica - Aug 30 2014 ~ Fantasy ~ 7-Night Western

[UK mum of 4]

In June they still had regular FP as well. When I was there Labor Day, it was just starting to switch over..

I think that's my concern, when regular FP was still available aswell then of course it would be fine, FP+ was just an added extra, but when we're there in august it will be busy and with only 3 FP+ is that going to make my day just too long!

My Sophia is 2 years old. Is this your first Disney Cruise?

Hi, my daughter will also be 2 on the cruise, it is my first cruise, how about you ? X

When I went in February, it was only Fastpass+. I had no issues with it as I was able to reserve prior but we did have 1 day where we completely changed parks on the fly & we still were able to get TSM at Hollywood Studios.

Yes, this is our first cruise. One of the things I'm most excited about is to see her little face light up. Has Sophia been on a cruise?

This is our first Disney Cruise Sophia has never cruised before we took her to Disney World Last year and she was so excited and full of laughter and joy I can't wait until she sees the ship and all the characters. I know Your Sofia will love it because she is 4 and will be able to enjoy herself

Celebrations
I've listed the celebrations on the first post. Right now they are in the order people are joining the thread. I'm thinking about reordering the list in event date order. This would mean cabins/families could be listed multiple times. I'm not sure how others use this information. If you use this info as part of your FE surprises and deliver a cabin all at once, it might be better to keep it the way is is. If you like to say “Happy Anniversary” as you see people on deck, then day-by-day would be better. What do you think... leave it or change it ??

FE Lists
For those of you on the Mickey FE List... if you’ve looked at the list, do you like the format with the kids sorted by Club? It makes sense to me in planning age related gifts. In the past, I’ve taken the lists I was sent and re-sorted it this way. I’d like to know what you think especially as I work on the Donald FE

I would prefer the list by day, I think if I was to do something for a special event I would like to do it on the day. I liked the layout of the list, I've never seen an alternative but the layout seemed easy to use

I liked the layout of the Mickey list. Whatever makes everyone happy is fine with me.

That's a great idea - to try to recognize celebrations throughout the week. I'm happy with anything, and I like the list now. But I'm an Excel junkie, so I may make some changes anyway just to feed my OCD.

Not that you haven't done a fantastic job, Lise! I don't know how you keep on top of all of this.

I love excel. In the past, I've taken the Excel or Word versions of the FE lists and "fixed" them... sort, sort and re-sort till it time to sail

Maybe since I did the master FE this year, I'll turn my energy to the FE gifts before the last 2-3 weeks

For dinner rotation... Is it better to be in a certain restaurant for a certain night? For example, Animator's Palate on Pirate night or Enchanted Garden for Captain's gala? Wondering if we can choose our rotation or if we should just let it fall how it may.

That's a great question I would love to know the answer also. I would like to pick a great restaurant to land on Pirate Night

 

[Mom of a Toddler]

I also want to know how the FE works. I understand the concept of leaving the gifts at the rooms on the list for the different individuals, My question is Do we do it everyday or once. How many gifts do we need per person?

I think if you email the list to everyone, they can sort it how they want. I do my by storeroom with a Talley on the bottom for: Adults (female & male) than each age group (female & male.) .

You can call and request a certain dining rotation ... So far, we have gotten what we requested every time

Hi Leandra,

The FE plan is to deliver one time to each stateroom. Some people might stop back by with a second little something a different day. I think folks on the Mickey FE group want to do random delivery days vs. assigned days, I haven't really asked the Donald FE group yet.
DD Sabrina dropped and received some magnets from other tweens on random / celebration days. This really didn't have anything to do with the FE... just more DISmagic

One gift per person is typical. Some folks do a family gift for the parents and individual gifts for the kids. Example of a family gift might be a keepsake item with the family name on it.

Last cruise some items we received didn't pack/travel well. I think they were crafted by folks who drove. I was sad to arrive home to find broken mementos.

I found the FE groups I've been part of to vary from simple to over the top. Everyone please chime in
