Thanks for adding us to the master list. I do have a couple of updates. In my haste, I said my DD from 4. She's not 4, she just turned 6. (late night). Also, my DS's name is spelled with an "or" on the end instead of "er". Thanks again for all your work.

Some pixiedust and your daughter is 6 and your son's name is spelled correctly.

My Fellow Dreamers:

Find below the google docs link to our FE spreadsheet (you do not need to have a Google account to access it).

The first one is without character preferences cited:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmVItnYI5UeYdFpTb3hSWTdrTS0tYmRzTGx5U1BUb0E

The second one is with character preferences cited:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmVItnYI5UeYdG03ZlJRVlBocGtJVkVzSVFEalVaWHc

Finally, the following google docs link takes you to a PDF showing room locations for our FE players (This is a first attempt - next one will be clearer):

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2VItnYI5UeYcmU2NW1DOUVUYzJ6SzY0MnlZSGxDUQ

Please take a few minutes to review the information contained in the spreadsheet and PDF. Let me know if corrections need to be made. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

If you prefer copies of the spreadsheet and deck map emailed to you - PM or email me (rewhitingjr@gmail.com) with your email address.

When I get cabin numbers from CowboyKell, deputygator and 4minnies (or any other change) - I will update the spreadsheet and deck map and notify each of you either by a post or PM.

We have 12 families participating (27 adults and 23 kids). Only 57 days to go!

 

[gatorfreud]

OMG yeah!!! You are the best FE leader EVER! This is amazing! Thanks so much!

And excited to see our little DIS block of rooms going on on deck 6!

Can anyone who doesn't have their kids' names on there send them to me in PM? If you don't want to, that is ok... it's not super personalized and can probably be ok without.

[1DW]

Hi everyone! This is the DW in the Murphy family. I'm almost finished with our FE family gifts, but I don't have last names for two families in our group. Spiffie and disneymeister, please PM me your last name or let me know if you would prefer that it be left off of your gift. Thanks!

 

[gatorfreud]

Oh man you guys are getting me so excited for our gifts!!!

So has anyone done this before? What do you think is a good time to make a delivery so that there is the least chance of people walking by and looking through your FE?

Thanks!! 43 days, I can't believe it is so close!!!

I'm an early riser and like to observe sunrises when at sea. My practice on previous cruises has been delivering FE gifts early in the morning typically before everyone rises - typically doing one or two decks each morning. With the long hallways on the Dream - it will also provide good early morning exercise.

Also might I suggest to deliver your gifts before Tuesday. This should prevent panic packing on our last day after returning from Castaway Cay as our luggage needs to be out in hallway betwen 8:30pm - 1030pm.

 

[gatorfreud]

Yes, I think I might deliver a couple of times... we will see. I don't really want to get up early... but chances are one of my children will be up and cranking way too early, and if that's the case, then maybe he and I will go do it so the others can sleep.

We aren't planning to get off on Nassau day, so we can probably do some then too.

I can't believe it's only 6 weeks!!!!

Our time in Nassau will be limited to visiting the Pirate Museum in the morning to get grandkids in spirit for pirate night and give them an opportunity to step onto a foriegn land. Nassau has little appeal for me as I've been there number of times on other Disney cruises.

By the way, I'm very quiet when I deliver FE gifts early in the morning. Makes me feel like Santa before the children awake.
