Hello everyone! Super excited to know the cruise is here in less than 3 weeks. I am finally making time to read Disney Reports...

My FE is ready
My pirate costume is set
I even packed already lol!

So excited, although my work schedule up until the cruise is about 14 hours a day...yikes! I work in accounting and I am coming back right as tax season starts so, I have to do all my work before then...But I tried to read everyday the boards and the FB group (I CANT HELP MYSELF)

Anyhow I love reading all the post! Keep them coming
May someone help me with a question?

I do have a question about the dining option, I know we have rotating dinning, I was reading a cruise report and someone was mentioning how she selected when and which restaurant and in what order they would go to the restaurants each night... is that an option for everyone? I thought we were just giving a schedule of what restaurant we have to go each night to...kinda confusing!

 

[laalac]

So I am done with my FE but now I am wondering, are we doing any magnet stuff, I been reading TR and I notice some people add magnets into people's doors. I know we can decorate the door if we want, but are we supposed to also decorate other people's doors? Let me know because if we do I have lot to do.... THANK YOU

There are several dining rotations that are all preset. You can contact your travel agent or DCL and request a dining rotation. There is no guarantee that you will get it but I understand they try.

I made princess magnets to decorate our door (they can help you find us). I had not planned to decorate other's doors. We are doing 3 days of FE gifts which hopefully the group will love - I am super excited about giving them. One day is a gift for each of the kids, sorry grown ups.

Adding magnets to the door is a fun idea and I would put that in the same category as delivering a FE gift. So my opinion is you can choose what you want to do.

I hadn't read anything about that.
We're not doing magnets for anyone.
Sorry guys, just FE stuffs!

No worries. We're mainly doing this for the kids as well.
The adult FE stuff will probably by underwhelming.

 

[laalac]

Ok thank you SUZANNEAZ for your answers!!!

I think im going to stay clear from the magnets thing...

 

[suzanneaz]

It is about the kids for us. Since there are couples participating in the FE hopefully they will like the gifts for the 2 days.

 

[suzanneaz]

Sure laalac! That's just my opinion but everyone in the group seems to be agreeable to everyone participating in the way that best fits them. I think we will have a fun group. Look forward to meeting everyone.

OK I have a question. We are flying into LAX and then DCL transportation to the ship. I was hoping to take a couple of bottles of wine on the ship but don't really want to put them in my checked bag for the flight and then have to get them out and rearrange everything to carry them on the ship. My mother said I can live a few days without wine, which is true. I am thinking I will just have to wait until we get to the first port.....unless anyone has an idea. I suppose I can suffer with the drink of the day if I can't get wine. Just wondered if anyone had a suggest. Thanks

 

[geffric]

there is a wal mart etc in PV..i got stuff at albertson in LA for our last cruise..

 

[suzanneaz]

Does the LA port have albertsons? If not then PV walmart will be it.

 

[denversees4me]

Suzanne I will find out about la albertsons but wal mart is in pv right across from where we dock ....are u a red or white drinker...what do u like....you could try those mini bottles of wine a few in each carry on .....

As far as magnets go I have sailed several times with disbey and no one has ever decorated my door....I have gotten magnets as a part of my fe on our door but only one or two... I decorate our door though and ohhhh my do we have a lot of magnets

 

[suzanneaz]

No worries. I can wait until PV. Like I said I will have to suffer with the drink of the day.

 

[denversees4me]

Suzabbe ..... they do have wine by the bottle u can order to your room.....I will see if I can find the link......

Hello dkarengreeen! I'm sorry but the cutoff for the FE was on Thanksgiving. Please come to our meet and greet through! It's at 3pm in the Promenade lounge on sail away day!

Did you get your FE from gradysmommy on ebay? We got ours from her and we've never had any trouble with things not fitting. I would say that if something doesn't fit in the pouch then to just put it outside the door.

My husband and I did our stockings early this year and I got a really cool little box of wine inside! It's called a Bota Box (http://www.botabox.com/) and it's like a little juice box of wine. It was actually really tasty. That might be easier to pack then whole bottles of wine. And you'll be able to get your wine fix on our way to PV!
