Welcome aboard... The FE is a gift exchange program.... Sort of like a secret pal type thing, where you exchange gifts with other people. You can give a gift per person in each cabin, or one gift per cabin, really it is up to you. It is fun to come back to your cabin and find little gifts hanging in your fish extender!

Great Job with all the info!! FE exchange is like a secret santa thing that I'm not sure if we've decided on how we are doing it yet. Jen has a link to the page she created in her signature and I think there's a copy at the top of this page. Sorry I haven't been in here much and not sure what all's going on.

Yes, that site is full of good autofill errors. Love it.

So what is the deal with this group now, do we have an official meeting like the cruisecritic site does? I have a thread over their going for this sailing too. Or does DCL merge our two meet and greets?

What's the link (or title) to the CC thread? We are currently on a 4 day, 4 college gazillion mile (slight exaggeration, lol!) road trip with our middle DS (senior this year), but I am registered on CC and will check it out when I get home and dig up my password.

Hello,
I stumbled upon this discussion board while I was doing some research on DCL. We officially booked this cruise and EXTREMELY excited!

This is our girls first cruise and our first Disney cruise. My older daughter is turning 7 in Jan and we are celebrating her bday on the boat. My younger daughter is 5 and she said she can't wait to meet all the princesses.

Nice to meet all of you here.

Airfare BOOKED!

Leave STL @ 12:20 and arrive in MCO @ 3:40!

 

[Sue (mom of 3 boys!)]

We booked our airfare too. I was soooooo disappointed with Southwest's schedule. The non-stop flights were all at bad times for us, and the prices were just so-so. We booked anyway because our son will drop us off at MHT on the way back to school (college in ME), and our middle son, who's a HS senior, will be picking us up. MHT was the only option because I didn't want to ask anyone to drive us to Logan in Boston (and we prefer MHT anyway).
We fly out of MHT at 11AM on Wednesday, transfer in Baltimore, and supposedly land at MCO around 4:00. I just checked the flight reliability and it says our connecting flight is often 90minutes late-I hope they get that ironed out before we fly. Coming home, our flight is at 1:25, with a stop and home landing at 5:20. (I guess we'll be enjoying MCO for a few hours)
All in all could have been better, but I suppose it could have been worse. At least it's done. Now I just have to hope for decent flying weather.
All I have left to book (besides cruise stuff) is trip insurance, which I will do today or tomorrow.
