How do we get started or join the FE?

I don't believe there is an official page yet just talk. Are you part of the Facebook group? I think we will get a google docs or something similar set up to organize the FE. I'm sure more info will be posted

Welcome SWALES family!

I don't do FB, but look forward to chatting with you here on the DIS-Boards, prior to our cruise.
Not sure about FE, at this point, either ??

are you not sure if you want to do it? or what it is? We participated on our last curise and our kids absolutely loved it
I'm willing to organize it if no one else has volunteered. We also met with our DIS group the first day. It was nice to have the familiar faces from the start of the cruise.

Looking forward to chatting

Hi,
We would like to be added to the roll call. I just switched our dummy date over to this cruise. This will be our 11th cruise, but our 1st on the Fantasy. We were just on the Dream this past April and loved it!

Those sailing will be DH Marty, Myself Vicki, DD Adriane 14, DS Zach 10, DD Stephanie 8, DS Isaac 5, DS Vincent 2 and baby to be 4 1/2 months.

We are excited to meet everyone and definitely want to participate in FE. The kids love it! Please let me know what we need to do to sign up.

JustTJ: We cruised with you in Oct. 2010. That was a fun cruise!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone over the next 8 months.

Welcome, Vicki and family,

Perhaps, your DD 14 and my DD16 can chat online before the cruise? Maybe a teen and/or kids Facebook group? If there's any interest?

That would be great! On our past cruises, my daughter has always started a teen/kid's thread, so I'll have her start one for this thread. I am sure that she would enjoy chatting with your daughter.

WOW!
That's quite a crew you have there -- How many cabins are you guys occupying?

Just me & DW on this one.
We meet up with our DS-26, and his GF-26, at WDW/DVC after the cruise.
Then, next year, we hope our DD-30, and SIL-30 will join us with our granddaughter (she is only 1 month old right now).:

Hi Vicki, I thought I recognized your dis name but when I saw the name Vincent I KNEW I remembered you!! Oh it will be great to sail with you again! This cruise, my eldest daughter will be travelling with us as a married women!!!! (she didn't come with us on that 2010 cruise) And bringing with them will be the twins who will be turning 8 months old on the cruise!!!! They are scheduled to arrive at 8 something A.M. on the 18th of this month (barring my daughter not going into labour between now and then ). It's tough paying for their wedding this August (we moved our August cruise to this one so they could get married ) and then getting the cruise payed off too. But we are pinching the pennies so we can do it all! Bringing the great Grandma along too and her fiance or by then possible DH
Congratulations on the new baby to be!!!! Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?

E2ME2 - I guess it is quite a crew that we are traveling with. ha ha We have 2 connecting cabins on the 8th deck. It's nice that we can all fit into 2 connecting rooms.

After the cruise, which resort are you all staying at? That would be fun to take along your granddaughter on a cruise and or to WDW in a year. She will love it.

Wow - the next couple of weeks will be so exciting getting ready for your daughter's due date. I bet you are so looking forward to meeting the new twins. Do you know what their names will be yet? I didn't think that your eldest daughter was on the cruise in 2010. Congrats on her upcoming wedding this Aug. too. I hope it all works out for you with the finances for the wedding and the cruise. I know weddings sure can be expensive, but it will all be worth it come this Aug. when she gets married.

Thanks for the congrats on the baby to be. I am 22 weeks pregnant and am due at the end of Aug. We actually do not know what this one will be. When we had our ultrasound a few weeks, we told them that we didn't want to know. I am dying to find out, but at the same time, it is exciting not to know and to be surprised this Aug.

That's great! My daughter will look forward to hearing from her.

After the cruise, we meet up with DS & his GF, at SSR (DVC 2BR Villa)
It will be the first use of our DVC points (test run, before using them for the granddaughter)!

I'm sure you will have lots of fun, and create lots of good family memories on this cruise.

It seems like such a long time...I can't wait for the 180 day mark...that will just seem better.

Our crew is a pretty large crew:

Staterooms:
#9587 DH(40 in June) and myself (38) and possibly DMIL(67) if her house sells between now and then
#9554 Parr Family: Heather(34) John (44)
#9574 Parr Folks: John's Mom, StepDad, Sister and Nephew(12)
#9543 Evan and Lewis: Melanie (41), Susanna(she won't let me say!!!)

We have quite a few people going in our group! That makes 10 or even 11.

We cannot wait...Heather and John, my DH aka Dew, and myself (Cheeser) went this past January for a quick 4 night on the Dream and we loved it so much...we booked a bounceback while on board for this cruise!!!

I'm in for a FE exchange...we did it last year. I premade scrapbooks for 20 staterooms with some kid gifts also...it was a riot. My DH and I loved coming back to the stateroom to see what we got!!!

 

[cheeser]

Just asked to join the Facebook group as myself: Reva Cherese Ward Lewis aka Cheeser!!!

Hope someone accepts me soon!!!
