Magic Goes Texan! Eight Crazy Nights (3/1/2013 Bahamas)

Thanks Laenie but we have a little princess (DD3) and we don't plan on leaving here at the kids section. I think we are going to be fine in the family section based on the comments. But you enjoy that hammock :beach:

You're welcome and I'm sure you will have a great time. Last time I was there my "little girl" enjoyed just playing in the sand and splashing in the water....it is a wonderful private island!

Hi, and WELCOME to the group! You are going to love cruising with DCL. There is a ton of information here on the DIS boards about FE, including threads with great pics of the hangers themselves as well as gifting ideas. Our first group for the FE exchange actually filled up pretty quickly and is now closed. There are two other new group members who are interested in doing FE but missed the cut-off: sdaniel and Tangled22. I have encouraged them to start a Group 2, and I would say the same to you. I would be happy to help you all get started!

Thank you so much I would love to do this. Let me know what I need to do to start the group. We are super excited. We have wanted to cruise for a while and are just now getting around to it with the kids sail free promotion!!

We're traveling with my in-laws, who made separate reservations. We've gone on one DCL cruise before, but this is their first time; so they have a half-hour later check in time. Does anyone know if they'll have problems checking in with us?

If it's just a half hour, they should be fine!

I would start by reaching out to Sonny (sdaniel) and Wendy (Tangled22) to see if they are still interested. I suggested it a few posts back but I have not heard anything. Then start a list in a post which you can go back and edit as the group grows. I can also add your Group 2 names to post 1 of this thread, where it is easily accessible. I waited until I had the list before I compiled full information, but if I were you I would start by getting it up front. You'll want to do that in PM (private messaging) so it's not blasted on the board for anyone not in the group to see. Compile the information as follows:

DIS Name
Family Name
Adults' Names
Children's Names & Ages
Stateroom #
Food Allergies?
E-mail Address
* If the group is big enough, you could choose to assign days to deliver gifts, in which case you would ask if each family has a preference.

Enter the information into a spreadsheet, e-mail it out to the group, and you've got yourself an FE Exchange!

Wendy and Sonny are both also on our FB page (the link to which is in post 1 of the thread), if you want to try starting over there. Let me know how else I can help! I am happy to send you a copy of the Group 1 spreadsheet if you want to use it as an example. Just PM me your e-mail address. :-)

My daughter and I will be on this cruise also. We are visiting my youngest who works in youth activities.

How fun! We have loved the youth activities staff on our previous cruises. Welcome to the group!

I tried to send a PM but I don't have 10 posts yet! Looks like I might need to go post some more and join the FB page!
 
Need posts....Should I be worried about having a FE with my kids names for the public eyes to see on the ship?? Seems dangerous. Anyone worried about this?

Ours has our first names only.
 
We will have a car service drive us from the airport to Galveston, then the Galvez has a cruise shuttle in the morning. I thought their sister property did, as well, but I thought it was called the Tremont House so I might be confused!

We are staying there as well. I love that hotel. We will be parking at the port since I have an ECV that we will be transporting. Maybe we will see you there, we'll most likely spend most of the evening in the pool.
 
I have not gone online to book anything yet, it's in the plans for this weekend. What are check in times? Our last cruise was in Jan 2011. I thought Platinum Castaway Club had priority boarding. Do we still need to choose a time, we usually arrived around 10:30 in Port Canaveral. I hope those who have been planning for a while might know the answer?

I am constantly saying my kids' names, I figure if someone wants to know their names, all they have to do is listen for me to say them...or more likely, just wait for them to start arguing or tattling on each other :headache:
I've also put their names on their backpacks and clothing and such and explained that if we don't know someone that they are still a stranger, even if they know your name or mine.
To me, I don't think putting a first name on the FE is a risk. Like threewilmingtonwalls, I left our last name off of the FE. :thumbsup2
 
I found all the materials I need to put together my FE gifts!! Now all I have to do is sit down and assemble! :cool1:
