Ohhhhh!! I just noticed the FE deadline passed long ago! Anyone up for a last-minute group? I'm happy to organize. Just reply to this message.

@MagicFamily...would you like to join in?

Please include name, cabin number, and list who's in that cabin:

TexasTraubs - 8534 - Kristi, Mark, son (14), son (11), daughter (9)

Does your 14 year old like iTunes? is your 11 year old or 9 year old into the looming bracelets?

I just signed up for this MAGICal cruise. I'm going with my DD, her hubby and their baby. I just became a grandmom in Oct. My hubby can't come so I'd love to meet other people so I don't want my adult to feel like they have to entertain me.

@mickeymom923 - do you guys want to be part of the FE gift exchange?

Anyone else out there who wants to join in the fun!

Yes, of course! They love both of those things!

Hooray! Glad to see new cruisers and I'm happy a new FE group is going!

Just a few more weeks!

Great Christmas gift! This will be our third Disney cruise, but first without the whole family. Our two oldest will not be joining us because of work and college. Great getaway for myself, husband, and fourteen year old daughter. Get request in to join Facebook! Counting down the days...

 

[Magicfamily7]

Does anyone have any good adult FE gift ideas?

Does anyone have any good adult FE gift ideas?

On our last cruise we got moon pies from someone who lives near the factory, movie theater boxes of candy, personalized mugs, recipes notecards (Disney recipes and home state recipes), personalized photo album, and miniature liquor bottles. I personally really liked the stuff from the person's home state or region.

 

[Magicfamily7]

love the Adult FE ideas! Thank you!

I am a DCL newbie. I have just discovered some cool things about the Disney Cruise. Like the FE. I see there is already a group created. I would like to join if it is ok and not too late. Also any pointers from anyone thats cruised before?

Welcome to the group! The original FE group is closed, but there is a second group that started organizing above. See posts from TexasStraub.

You are ABSOLUTELY invited to join the best FE group that is going to be on the ship!!! Our family is new also and are very excited to be learning all the new and special things that happen on the Disney cruise line.

So far here is the line up, are you familiar with what the FE group is and do you have a FE to hang outside your stateroom door? TexasTraubs may know more families that want to join I am not sure

TexasTraubs
8534
Mark & Kristi
boy (14), boy (11), girl (9)

MagicFamily7
6552
Tyler (Adult) & Rose (Adult) ; Suzi (Adult) & Robert (Adult) We are probably only focusing on FE gifts for children, so please don't feel obligated to bring us gifts
boy (10), boy (5), girl (3)

Rosinski

Chris & Stephanie
boy (8) girl (2)

I am new to FE but have been researching a lot. The only thing I'm really not sure of is do we just give 1 night to 1 family or multiple nights?

 

[texastraubs]

Yayyyy!! Our FE group is off to a great start! I don't know of any other families at this time, but I would guess we'll get two or three more as our sailing date gets closer.

As far as little gifts and fun things, it's really anything goes. It's super fun to arrive back to your room and check the Fish Extender to see what's inside! The kids love it. If our group stays small like this, I'll probably do things 2-3 times during the cruise. I'm also thinking of bringing some magazines...read it one day and then leave in someone's FE that night. That might be fun if we all bring one or two magazines.

If anyone is interested, we can also set up a time to meet up for coffee or a drink so we can meet one another.

**Most important thing** It's supposed to be FUN!! No stress allowed. If you're crafty, make something. If you're not, buy something. Or, just bring chocolate!! There are so many great ideas out there.

I see that our list is updated above (thanks MagicFamily7). Let's keep in touch as it gets closer.


@MissDaisy - we were on the same sailing as you were last February. I can't remember if we were in the same FE group or not...remember how big it got? Let's hope for NO DELAYS this trip.

Rosinski: I made little gift bags for both boys and girls. My grandchildren will be the ones placing them into other FE's so they learn to share, it will be a great experience for them when they return to their cabin and see that other children have thought of them too.
There are great places to get really inexpensive gifts, Michael's has a dollar area, the Dollar tree or any other store of that type. Our group is small, unlike the group that closed, I believe they had over 30 participants
I am so glad our group has children around the same ages for sure

TexasTraubs Why yes we should meet up and have some drinks!!

 

[rosinski]

I am also excited! I have a few ideas in mind as well as some handmade crafty ones I will be starting to work on this weekend!

And we should meet up for coffee or even ice cream! Think the kids might like that!
