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

[KJTY]

No Allergies.

I have a question. I wanted a Family cabana. The only one I was able to get was an adult one at Serenity Bay. Do you think I have a shot at someone changing their mind last minute? Should I keep the adult cabana? Thanks for the advice.

Hi Whitney - Welcome back, we missed you Yes, I kept you on the list. You're on the Donald FE. Is it still the three of you? I figured the double post was to start catching up Lise

Haha yes that it! And yes there is still 3 of us and we are in stateroom 8102. So excited! It will be here before we know it! When will the FE group close so I know a final number of gifts to buy/make? Thanks!!

 

[anderson08]

Great question...I'll post it BIG...


ATTENTION

Mickey FE ~ Donald FE

If you haven't posted recently, please let us know you're still here.

Does anyone have any alergies or other items that you do not want as gifts?
(no tree nuts, no peauts, no chocolate, no gluten, no alcohol, no latex balloons, etc.)
You can post here or IM me. I'll include it on the official spread sheet.


Donald FE
Do you want to close the list May 30 (90 days) or June 15 (75 days)? There are currently 22-25 cabins with 69-79 participants. I'm working on confirmations.

For the Donald FE, I say we close it May 30th

The Donald FE end date is up for a vote. Right now the ones who have posted say... May 30 (that's in 3 days).

Then I'll reconfirm everyone and get the list emailed out. I need your email

No allergies for any of us.

To me, it still seems a little far off to close the FE groups but I will go along with the majority.

As a side note, I had a cruise nightmare last night regarding clothes and my forgetting to pack certain items. Oy.

No allergies for us

cherry75 Hi Rose - glad you found us Where are you from? Who's travelin' with you? Any celebrations? Let me know if you'd like to join the FE Gift Exchange. It's a lot of fun. We'll have it open to join at least through the end of the month. Lise

Hi Lise! thank you for the welcome I am SO glad to have found its world of Disney Cruisers pretty cool!!! We are from Brooklyn, New York. It will be DH,DS 13, DS 5, DD 3 and of course me traveling. Can you direct me or provide me information on how the FE works. It seems like something I would love to join.

 

[cherry75]

I'm a excel junkie and love to plan. I have a Cruise Expense Planning spreadsheet and a Packing Spread Sheet if anyone wants them.

Love those spreadsheets! My kind of lady! I am a planner also.

 

[bethspt]

I think we can close May 30. Would you be opposed to having a third FE group (Goofy) for last minute adds? We would just have to let them know it would probably be a smaller group and it could close 3-4 weeks out.

Hi Rose,

I see you have a teanager too! Have your DS13 check out KIDS ONLY - Aug 30 2014 ~ Fantasy ~ 7-Night Western. My DD13 Sabrina and lot of other tween and teens are becoming DISfriends. It works out great for the DISkids to already have friends to meet up with at the Edge/Vibe.

My post below should answer most of your questions on the FE... it's such fun! Let me know what questions you have. To join I'll need everyone's names now plus your cabin number and email at some point.

FE Gift Exchange
…a fun onboard gift exchange that adds to the magic of your cruise
For those new to the FE, here’s a little more info:

What is a FE – FE stands for Fish Extender (see photo below). It works just like Santa’s stocking, but has a pocket for each person in the cabin. This is where you place the gifts you give. You can make or buy your FE. Instructions can be found here on the DIS. Fish Extenders are sold on eBay and Esty.

Why it is called a Fish Extender – On the Magic and Wonder, where this fun began, there is fish-shaped clip by the cabin door. This clip is where you hang your Fish Extender…thus the name FE.

The FE List – FE Gift Exchanges are customarily organized here on the DISboards. The organizer (me for our cruise) keeps a list that includes each participant’s DISboards name, cabin number, family name, individual names, genders and kid ages. This allows gifts to be selected to match those participating. Depending on the number of participants there may be more than one FE group (we have two). Most of the information is listed on the first post of the cruise thread. The formal list is emailed to participants.

FE Gifts - Participants give a little gift to each person on the FE list once during the cruise. Some cruisers prefer to give a family gift to the adults and individual presents for the kids. Gifts are homemade or store bought and are usually Disney themed, tropical or tied to cruise ports. With many cruisers flying and luggage space at a premium, gifts should be selected that are easily packed and can be safely transported home or are used up during the cruise.

Gift delivery - Delivery can be by assigned days or random. Assigning days insures a flow of gifts throughout the cruise. Random allows flexibility to deliver gifts as you have time. Either way is fun … it’s like Santa fills your stockings every day.

I hope this was helpful… I’m sure I missed something. Please ask questions



I sent the Packing Spreadsheet vie email. Are you cousins going to join the conversation here on the DIS? It would be fun to meet them

The Donald FE is still open today if they're interested.

Tomorrow I'll be picking my excursions from Ketchikan. I hope the Internet is stronger. Today I'm in Juneau and the Internet is probably strongest here. So fingers crossed for a good signal

Thank you so sending the lists! One cousin Sue has commented twice I think. The other ones no. I told them but I think they forgot to check. They do talk on the facebook page though. As to the FE sadly no they aren't interested. I will remind them again about Disboards.
