Hi All!

Sorry if this question seems a bit dumb but we are FE novices - do we do it all in one go or do we spread it over the course of the cruise? Is it anonymous etc...

Many Thanks!

Whatever you like! On our last cruise, one family did a little gift every day, but most did 1 pass out. I think almost everyone said who it was from.

 

[Silverfox97]

I would love to swap. We have 5127 and 5129. I am bummed. My parents and I wanted to be separated and specifically requested some distance. Let me know if you are interested.

I'll reply to your PM.

Mine will not be anonymous. I feel like I have but some thought, time and money into the gift so I want to sign my name to it

And I also just take about an hour and go around and deliver all the gifts. That's what is the easiest. Everyday would be too much with a large group IMO.

I want to start on my FE'S next week...I will assume our number of participants will not be really changing at this point. I have something specific in mind and need to get out there looking for it now.

Is everyone just checking under their reservation number on the DCL website to see their upgrades?????

I can't seem to get on though.

Yes - and remember that the Category listed is what you paid for, not necessarily that of the assigned room. I think I used the DCL website -- ships -- Magic -- deck plans -- virtual tour and deck #. Of course, when I tried it just now, it wouldn't open (so very typical for Disney websites).

Yesterday the website would just hang. Probably all of us trying to find our room assignments.

Am quite happy to be assigned a Deck 6 Cat 11A for our 11C GTY. We've only been on Decks 5, 6 and 8 and are not sure how we'd like the lower decks (we'll probably get there someday and find out the lower decks don't rock as much and laugh at ourselves for getting excited over the high deck/no window rooms).

My catagory and room number didn't change, so no upgrade for me I guess.

Can anyone tell me about ths spa? What does a day pass include? Is it worth the cost?
I have seen a photo of a hot tub on a verandah - how can you use this?
I have not been to the spa but I am interested in going to it on this cruise.

I've also wondered if the day pass would include the hot tubs?

DW and I were updraded from 11C GTY to 9B (#2064)... very excited to have a porthole on the trip. Looking forward to doing the FE as this will be our first time doing it.

I can not believe it is 34 days til we sail. I am now getting all of our FE's completed. The FE's I am doing can be personalized. If you would like your FE personalized, I need to know the family name to be placed on it. Can you PM me your family name and the cabin # - it does not need to be personalized if you would prefer it not to be. Thanks!

At this time I have all the room assigments updated on the FE List that people have posted or PMed. I am missing 4 room assignments:

• schows
• FLWIDisneyFan
• FamilyFun5
• meduck

Please take a minute to look at the FE List and let me know if the information is current, complete and correct.

 

[Georgia3]

Thank you for putting this all together. I know it takes a lot of time. I am so glad that you have organized this for our cruise!

 

[mistyandbenjamin]

We are in Cabin #6303 and my parents are in 5129. Thanks

Thanks.

I also added another stateroom to the FE List with 2 more adults.

For those who are not currently participating in the FE you have till the end of 11/30 to make your final decision. From previous discussions we are cutting the list off on Dec 1st to give everyone time to get organized.

 

[mommyofthreeboys]

We have friends of ours that will be on this cruise. Please add them to the list. They also want to participate in the FE exchange. Rick and Pat (they are not on the boards YET) and room 2560.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone. I'm new to the Dis and this is my first post. Myself, DH, DD and her BF are all going on the Magic on 3rd January. It will be our second time on the Magic and we have also been on the Wonder. Hope to meet lots of you onboard

Well today I booked a cabin for my 2 assistants. This is going to be a working cruise for me and I decided to bring them along to help me work. I have a big to do list to do while on the cruise but we will still find time for some fun stuff. My plan is to write all my newsletters for my website for the coming year as well as work on some other things. I am planning on working in such a way that they can go to the shows and I will do some work I need to do by myself. Most of the time we will work in the Promedode Lounge so stop by and say hi if you have time You cannot miss me - my computer looks like a Christmas present

Now I am off to figure out what I am going to do as their FE for everyone - and what I will use as their FE for their gifts - they are coming on my dime but it is one of the ladies first cruise and they both have worked so hard for me over the years just helping out as I have built my website so I am glad I can bring them along - even if it is for work - but some of the fun will be their FE gifts I have invited them to come over and introduce themselves but not sure they will.

Welcome to the boards and the cruise. Not to overwhelm you so quickly, but we are fast approaching the cut off for the FE and if you want to participate let me know before the end of 11/30.
