Hi! We are still interested in the FE. We never participated before but I think it will be fun for my boys. We will do whatever works for everyone. Getting really excited to be able to book our excursions next week!

Getting really excited to be able to book our excursions next week!

What excursions are you going to book??

 

[denversees4me]

what if we leave the FE kinda open so those who wanna do 1 big thing can and those who want to do all 7 days can and those who want to alternate can ... Im game for all cabins 3 days or up to 12 cabins 7 days

We are booking palo - high tea - dolphin swim - outdoor adventure whats everyone else booking

I love the idea about leaving the FE open! That way everyone can do what they want, when they want. Perfect!

We're doing the Outdoor Adventure in PV and Palo dinner. We're just going to play it by ear in Cabo.

 

[luvmykids]

Not totally sure yet what we are booking. Interested in the Beach/Resort day in Cabo and the Dolphin Swim in Cabo. If there is a Beach/Resort in PV we will maybe do that as well. We are not too adventerous lol.

We just booked yesterday for our very first Disney Cruise! We are DVC members so we go to WDW a few times a year. We were looking at cruising out of Port Canaveral but got a deal on the Wonder that we just couldn't pass up!

Our family is Jessica (Me) my hubby Paul, and my son Ethan (9). We are flying into CA a week early and spending a few days in San Diego then 5 days in Anaheim to visit the House of Mouse. Ethan has never been to Disneyland before so it will be a treat!

We do not have a room number - they had to put us in a GTY.

We are booked into the second seating for dinner, but are wait-listed for the first. For those who have cruised before - what are the chances the waitlist will come through?

Will we get a table for just the 3 of us?

Welcome! We always get a table for just our family of 4. We have been waitlisted for first seating in the past and have gotten it. I think it will depend on how full the ship is.

Thanks - we are very excited!!

As for as the FE goes - do you leave gifts for a different family everyday or is it every family everyday?

I think we decided that we're going to leave it up to everyone on what they want to do. Personally, I'm going to be giving each person one bigger gift. I've seen people do small gifts every day for each person and I've also seen just one big gift for the entire family. It depends on what you want to do.

We just switched from a Standard Inside (11B) to a Deluxe Inside (10B). The difference was totally worth in when I looked at the room layouts and say the extra space!!

 

[luvmykids]

we have changed cabins we are now in 8086. It seems like Disney has Kids Sail Free for this sailing but are not advertising it.

 

[carreyw]

luvmykids, I changed your room number on the FE list.

We booked our excursions last night! Only 89 more days!!!

Hi all and Welcome to the new group !
Disney will SPOIL you !

As for the FE the traditional way is a gift a cabin a day HOWEVER everyone does something different depending on the group . I am personally doing a gift per room a day they can be small things like a baggie of candy , pencils , stickers , gum , etc or be larger etc it depends but the idea is to have fun at the dollar store and DONT BREAK THE BANK doing it ! lots of people make things like door magnets for everyone or mini scrapbooks or picture frames - I have gotten CDs with disney music on them etc . I will personally do 12 cabins max bec I have all of my FE stuff already and thats what I have . If we have ( who knows now with the kids sail free ) more than 12 cabins say 24 I will do 12 one day then 12 the next and then the first 12 the next day etc .
HAVE FUN WITH IT !

Kids sail free huh ? Well thats kinda a bummer only bec last Jan we did this same cruise and it was kids sail free and it seemed really jammed with kids - none of them were really in the kids clubs for some reason and the dining room service was REALLY slow ! BUT it to Disney defense WAS the first sailing to mexico since they were here some years back - Im sure things are running faster and smoother now -
They just seemed a little unorganized last time and most who had sailed Disney before agreed it was not par for the course for them - I KNOW this time will be smoother

I booked all of my stuff dolphin swim outdoor adventure palo tea brunch and dinner IM SO EXCITED we are getting closer everyone and the boards are picking up with chat ! lets keep this boat a rockin !

denversees4me, Do we have a facebook group setup yet? You had mentioned that you were thinking about starting one?

 

[luvmykids]

Thanks! We booked our excursions also. We are doing the Paradise Beach Adventure in Puerto Vallarta although I have been debating about Las Caletas, The Cabo Resort Beach Getaway and the Dolphin Swim on the second Cabo day. What excursions have you booked?

 

[carreyw]

We're only doing the outdoor adventure in PV. We're going to play it by ear in Cabo and walk around and check stuff out on our own. My dad has been to Cabo before so he is going to be our unofficial "guide". haha.

We swam with dolphins in the Bahamas this past Jan and thought it was really cool. Kind of scary though. They are huge! haha.
