Okay, so...

The FE exchange has four families so far, but I've shared the document with more people than that. If you are having trouble editing your information into the document, just PM me with your stateroom # and participants' names, ages, and genders and I will add them for you!

Hi!

I see that you are from Iowa--what part? We lived in Des Moines for 3 years while my husband attended grad school at Drake.

We live in Ankeny, so just north of Des Moines!! Drake is a very good school.

Go Bulldogs!!! We enjoyed our time in Des Moines. We haven't been back since '95. I have heard that it has changed so much since we left. Maybe one day we will go back and visit.

Hey everyone! My husband and I will be joining y'all on this cruise. It's our 2nd DCL cruise together. It will be his 3rd cruise and my 10th. We are celebrating his 40th bday and our 10th anniversary. VERY excited!! Count me in for the FE exchange! Just need to figure out how to repair where my pug puppy chewed the Mickey head dowel that it hangs from. Doh!
Can't wait to see everyone! I'm the loud blonde with the tall quiet dude.

We have also been on the Magic once before and this will be our 12th overall cruise so far!! We love crusing and Disney! We have been to WDW a few times too!

Looking forward to meeting everyone, I just hate that it's so far away right now! But, we have a lot going... our new baby boy will be here on July 14th!

We're practically neighbors! Are you guys flying in or driving? I've been watching air fare, but haven't decided yet. Let me know if you are interested in the FE group!

Where are you from? Near Sterlington? We will fly Southwest from Jackson, MS. It is always cheaper than Monroe, no baggage fees and we have some gift certificates to use too. And the flight is nonstop to Orlando. We are hoping to go down a few days early. How about you guys?

I'm in Shreveport. Never thought about Southwest from Jackson...what are you seeing in terms of airfare? I'm looking at flying down a day early and staying a day after...but still kinda playing around with that.

Hello Everyone... Starting to do a little research!!! Anybody have any shore excursion ideas?

I was just looking them up today.

At CC we are probably going to do the Extreme Getaway Package.
It is the stingray adventure, 1 hour bike rental, float rental and snorkel gear.

On St. Thomas we may do the St. John Champagne Catamaran Sail and Snorkel.

At St. Maartin I know I want to see Maho beach but not sure what else. Any ideas?

I called Southwest and they will open their schedule for when we need to fly on July 26. So we don't have any fares yet for them. But flying Continental from Monroe is roughly $350 each.

I booked us at the Hilton Grand Vacation Seaworld for the week prior to the cruise. We have a timeshare and we exchanged for it, so we can go to Universal and Seaworld, and maybe a day at Magic Kingdom too.

Where in Shreveport do u live? What area..we have family there.

The only thing I know is that we loved CC, and I just really want to hang out at the beach there.

The last time we were in St. Thomas we went to St John to Trunk Bay and it was outstanding! So beautiful.

In St. Maarten, we did a jeep tour that was a lot of fun.

This time, we will have a 6 month old, so I know we may not get to do many shore excursions.

DH is a diver, so he may do some diving.

I booked our WDW stay this morning, 6 nights at BLT before the cruise. I am so excited!
Only 219 days until the cruise!

 

[mcubit]

We are doing the same thing, almost. We are checking it to BLT the 22nd and then heading to the port on Friday night and staying at CI&S. I CAN NOT WAIT!!!

Have you stayed at BLT before? I am so looking forward to Wishes the first night there at the Top of the World lounge! We are in a standard view But we get a 1BdR this time

We are staying until the 28th and taking DCL transfers, since we are flying and it's just the two of us. I was so jealous of the people getting on the DCL bus at AKV when I was getting on the ME bus last year. lol
