[travelgal2]

Thanks for the welcome, moet7. Looking forward to meeting those on this thread!

Hi-we JUST finalized our booking of this cruise and I was wondering if you were allowing other folks ( who are fashionably late booking their cruise ) to participate? We actually have two older teens in our family of four, so if we could participate with the "giving" portion but not the "receiving" portion, that would be absolutely okay with us. (Our 18 and 19 year olds won't mind a bit! )We didn't know about any of this (FE's or DISign magnets) on our first cruise-so we've got some catching up to do (on our door)...This is such a great idea, and we'd love to participate if possible, however, I totally understand if the list is final.

Either way, it'd be great to meet fellow cruisers from this board. Is there something along those lines we could participate in as well?

Thanks much,
Tracey

Hi, Tracey...welcome to the gang!

Sorry, I have been out of town on business. Glad to be home again...and I can now use my suitcases for their REAL purpose...packing for the vacation!

I'll be glad to add you to the list. I'm the "unofficial FE host" (by default). Please send me a PM (private message) with names, ages, location, and stateroom number...plus an e-mail address if you want the list sent to you in spreadsheet format. NOTE: You'll need to have made ten posts in threads before you can send/receive PM's...so you'll have a little work to do to get to that point.

As you've surmised, there may be some people who've already bought their FE gifts for the cruise. Thanks for understanding that portion of it.

The unofficial "DisMeet" for our gang will be on the day we sail, at 3PM in the Promenade Lounge on Deck 3. This way we'll have a half hour or so to meet everyone before people disburse for the muster drill at 4PM.

Again, welcome to the group!

Hi Everyone. I just found this thread. My adult daughter and I will be on this cruise. We're too late for the FE but we might like to say hi sometime during the cruise. We live in Texas now but are originally from SC

 

[SaraDlug]

My best friend and I will be cruising with you guys! We went on the 3 Day in Feb and a really nice couple treated us to FE gifts, even though we were not part of the group! We were sad to see that we had missed the date to join for this cruise. We have thought of a great FE gift to give- we would love to share the wealth with any of you on the ship!

Welcome to our group.

As was said in older posts...........we had set a deadline of May 1st for the FE exchange. BUT............I'm sure we can still add both of you to the list if you want to join in.

However I should point out that some of us, who are real "planners" might have all of our FE gifts all packaged up and ready to go.

So as long as you don't mind, not receiving an FE from each member of the group, I say "Join Us" as I'm sure there are those of us, myself included who are still working on FE gifts, and would be more than happy to include you.

Just send your info to Drew, who has been wonderful keeping the list for all of us!

Thanks Drew!

[travelgal2]

Thanks, Drew, for the reply.

 

[SaraDlug]

Aww- that is very nice of you to let us join FE! We are so excited to be a part of the cruise. I am looking forward to relaxing 2 times at Castaway- maybe my favorite part of the cruise (except Palo's amazing dinners!) and we get to go there at the beginning and the end of our trip!

Welcome aboard, SaraDlug!

As I'd recently mentioned to travelgal2 a couple of days ago: "I'll be glad to add you to the list. I'm the "unofficial FE host" (by default). Please send me a PM (private message) with names, ages, location, and stateroom number...plus an e-mail address if you want the list sent to you in spreadsheet format.

You'll also see the info about the DisMeet at 3PM on sailaway day.

Lookin' forward to meeting you aboard the Wonder!

Congrats, Kathy! We got ours on Thursday...but I had to wait until my son came over for the day today to open it...the suspense was KILLING me!

 

[Smileneyes]

To all participating in FE, please note that Post #78 has been updated with the latest and greatest (as I currently have it).

I will be sending out an updated spreadsheet soon. If you have received stateroom changes, but haven't advised, please let me know ASAP...that way I can give all the correct information within the spreadsheet.

Since the "adamsclan" will be doing the B2B beforehand, and many of us are doing WDW before boarding, I won't be able to advise everyone of any changes to the stateroom assignments after June 1st. Should you change rooms after that date (or at PC), please plan to do at least one of the following:

1) Be sure to attend the DisMeet at 3PM on day of sailing, to let everyone know your new cabin number
2) Prepare little "update notes" that you can disburse in the FE's of those participating the first day

Thanks to everyone who has been so patient and so enthusiastic...only five weeks to go!!!

I am so excited to be joining all of you on this cruise! SaraDlug and I just booked our cruise April 29th! We will be celebrating earning our Masters Degree and the start of our summer vacation (we are teachers)!! Two stops at Castaway!! AHHHHH! I hear a few Tropical Depressions calling my name!

 

[princessCKL]

I'm a teacher too and my daughter will be celebrating her college graduation and is going to be a teacher.

Awesome!!! What a great way to celebrate!

 

[princessCKL]

We're doing Star Wars Weekend just before the cruise and using Disney Transportation to the port so hopefully we will make the cruise meet. We'll do our best. Four days in the parks then off to the 5 night cruise. Can't wait.

We are doing Star Wars weekend before the cruise also!

The most recent revision to our "FE" spreadsheet has been sent to those parties who're participating (SaraDlug, a copy has been sent to DisneyJenn23 on your behalf).

As I sat at my keyboard a little while ago, I watched the Wonder sail out of PC via the webcam...thinking that, in five weeks, that'll be US!!!
