July 18, 2015 - Fantasy Eastern

Hi everyone! Wow, this really took off and I'm so happy! My dh and I have been shopping today for gifts and I don't think I can fit anymore in my suitcase! I am so confused at this point... can someone tell me how many gifts I need to bring? I am counting 6 or 7 gifts for each child, am I right? So I need to bring about 30 gifts? I can already tell that it will be difficult to have gifts for such age differences, but I will do my best.
 
Well Lenora, after some minor experience and new knowledge, I think that you can do multiple different things. As of having a "cabin gift", or personal gifts to the children. 6-7 gifts per child seems a lot, but i am not in much experience. Im sure that Katellynne can help with that subject.
 
OK everyone, I think (?) I understand. So, between us three families, I am bringing 5 gifts. I was under the impression that I had to buy 1 gift for each child for 7 days, My gifts are not expensive and if my thinking is correct, I may bundle some things together (since I have probably bought too much). Am I making any sense? If my thinking is correct, and I follow Callihan's listing, my two grandkids will be delivering gifts to each of your kids just once. That works for me just fine. Are we in agreement?

Never being on a Disney cruise, is there someplace we can meet each other either on embarkation, or on one of the sea days?

I think we can defiantly set up something to all meet, maybe in the main hall. Im glad we all came together and I can't wait to cruise with all of you! (P.s if any of your kids have a favorite character let me know! I'm going to Walt Disney world today and I'll probably pick some stuff up :) )

Lenora, there is no right or wrong! You could have your grandkids deliver a little gift each to each child and then do a 'cabin' type gift or 'adult' gift on the scheduled day. Cabin gifts are generic, something everyone can enjoy whether it's a little treat to eat or a game or puzzle etc. Or your idea to bundle up your gifts works too :) I love the little stuff, I think the kids do too! If you bundle up you would deliver to me :) on 7/21 and to the Callihans on 7/23. Whatever ends up working best for you is what works IMO. As long as you fulfill the obligation on the schedule to deliver something on those days, what you do on the others days is up to and just above and beyond.

Also PLEASE forgive me for not knowing, but are Reagan and Carson boys or girls? LOL Since my daughters have names that are on the masculine side I never like to assume.

7/18-Boarding, this day is often busy since everyone is getting settled, I think we should start the FE on 7/19
7/19-Callihan2015 will give to the Mohrs(Lenora's Family)
7/20-Katellynne will give to Callihan2015
7/21-The Mohrs will give to Katellynne
7/22-Katellynne will give to The Mohrs
7/23-The Mohrs will give to Callihan2015
7/24-Callihan2015 will give to Katellynne
 
I just got home from shopping and since I have little items, I am bundling. By the way, Carson is a 4 yr. old boy and loves anything Disney... loves the movie Cars, and really anything! Reagan is a 7 yr. old girl and loves Minnie and Frozen. Please forgive me, but Katellynne, I shouldn't have assumed that Leighton is a boy, but according to your comment, your 3 are ALL girls? So glad you brought this up!

LOL Lenora, yes all 3 of mine are girls :) I am excited that Reagan is 7, Leighton is 7 too so they can make friends!!! We need to plan where we want to meet, so the kids can get to know one another. WE can also share chat numbers for the Navigator app so we can chat during the cruise and plan where to meet as well.
 
Katellynne - I too am thrilled that our granddaughter will meet someone her age. Since you've been on a Disney ship before, maybe you can suggest a definite place for us and Callihans to meet, say at 3:00 PM on embarkation day. Just for a 5 minute "hello, nice to meet you" kind of thing. Does that sound like a plan? I hate to allot much more time than that, only because everyone is going to be all over the place that first day. Is there someplace definite like in front of some store? restaurant? lounge area? You can tell me about this Navigator app as you're losing me already. My SIL will understand and will help me. If you or Callihan care to write me, my email is:
LBromund at comcast dot net.
 
Hello All,

We have less than two weeks until we are on board. I hope everyone has a great time onboard.

Hi all,
I just logged on been off line awhile. Not sure what happened to the FE group but, we signed up in April. Is there a new list now? Can some one send me a message with the not to be named FE group. Thanks
 
DayOhDisMom - No one seemed to come forth to organize a group and I didn't join this thread until June. There were just a couple of us that wanted to do it and we got together. I would be more than glad to drop a small gift in your daughter's fish extender, if you can give me her age and your cabin number. Seeing that we are driving and leaving shortly, I won't be out shopping anymore. I don't want any little kids to be disappointed so I will find something to make her smile. Please let me know before Saturday.

Hey everyone! I've been off for a while. Great to welcome the green family! I will also be glad to drop something off for your daughter. Also katelynne if you'd be so kind to give me you last name, and daughters names, That'd be great thanks!
 
Hi all!

We are in southern Illinois tonight. We just can't wait until Saturday!! Can anyone suggest a place for a quick meet?
 
Well Lenora, maybe we could all meet inside the main room of the ship. (I don't know what it's called) but it's the first thing you see when boarding the ship.
 
Hi I know I am extremely late to the thread since the cruise departs in 5 days, we are the Michalski family, if will be me, my DW, DS (16) and DD (11), both kids are super excited to see there are many others their age that are going to be on board. We are in cabin 7188.
