March 24, 2012 - 6 Night Western

[Wadekind]

I am making our FE gifts and I need to order supplies, so I would love it if we went ahead and place those staterooms randomly and make the groups as even as possible. That way I can be sure the things I need will be shipped in time for me to make the the gifts & get them shipped down!

What are everyone else's thoughts?

I agree with this.

I have two cabins next to each other. I ordered my FE's off of ebay and they came today. But I ordered one for the boys and one for the girls so I'll need my cabin info switched.

In cabin 7550 please list Craig, DS Zach 11, and DS Noah 9
In cabin 7552 please list Jenny, Susan, and DD Chloe 7

I don't want to get anyone confused when handing out the gifts, but I couldn't pass up the cute pink FE once I saw it.

In regards to switching the dates for locking in the list. I don't care. Whatever the majority wants is fine with me.

I would like to put them randomly so i know how many FE gifts to make

What are you doing after the cruise?

My DD13 and I are going to brave the crowds at WDW for 4 days after the cruise. Would usually go before the cruise but we have tickets to see Wicked on March 21st so it won't work out this time.

It is Trent and Andrea's 12th Anniversary on March 25th while we are cruising..... Can you add that info to the spreadsheet of FE participants?

Thank you very much!

Congratulations to them! I just added the info.
This year marks our 13th anniversary (right before the cruise). I guess this is a good day to think about it since today is Friday the 13th!

Hi Barb-

I updated all your cabin info...phew, that was a lot.

Two questions for you- you listed a Riley (14 yrs). Is this a boy or girl (I have a gut feeling I guessed wrong)? Just let me know and I will change which column they are in, it helps for people who do gender specific gifts. Also, you didn't list a stateroom # for Jackie, Dan, Dawson, and Erin. As soon as you know if these other staterooms in your party want to participate in the FE, I will easily add them to the listings. I did put the rooms you have stateroom #'s for into the correct FE group (FORWARD).

Hey Everyone

FE Update:

We currently have 16 cabins for each group with 50 or so people in each. The cabins listed as GTY in the groups may switch depending on stateroom they are assigned, but it shouldn't alter the groups.

2 weeks until FE cutoff! Guess I better get to work on mine!

 

[Scout54]

Wow, Kellie! You have done a FANTASTIC job with the FE. Thank you so much for all your hard work on this. It is making this Exchange super easy for all of us!

Sorry for the missed information. I was trying to get everything sent before leaving for work!
Riley - boy
Erin & Dawson #6543
Jackie & Dan #6541
We have pretty much that whole strip of cabins!

I will get back to you this weekend on the FE answers.

We are cruising the magic March 24 and would like to join in the group. Is it too late to sign up for the FE?

Welcome! You just need to give your particulars (names, kids ages, any special celebrations and cabin #) so we can add you to the list. chernabogfamily is in charge of the FE spreadsheet - and doing a great job keeping up on it too. I believe the cutoff for the FE is January 28th.

Welcome!

Not too late at all to join the FE exchange. Just pass on your info: stateroom#/# of adults and kids/ etc and we'll get it on the list.

Hi All!
We are Kim and Bob Contraguerro. We will be in one stateroom with our youngest (7 months). Our other children are in stateroom 6524 with my mother. Ryan is 7 and my daughter Laken is 6.

My sister-in-law wants to participate with her children. Can I give her info for the list with her signing up for the meet group?

Thanks!

 

[Scout54]

Welcome to the group, Kim! We have a Facebook page too, so if you guys are on FB come join us there as well! Here is the link to our FB group

Sure you can add your sister-in-law and her family to the group. Is your whole family participating or just your boy and girl? I'll just need your stateroom number too if you are participating as well. Thanks!

I will add it to the google doc that you can find in post #2 of this thread.

Please add my niece and nephew to the FE list. Alexis age 4 and Jay age 3. Room 6622. We are excited about getting our FE gifts for everyone!

After the cruise-- wouldn't normally go to WDW around Spring Break, but hitting the parks a little before & after the cruise, since we're there. They'll be open 'til midnight or so, right?

Re the Cozumel dolphin package, we got a deal independently for around $70 a person. (booked in November w/ early discount) I saw a DIS post from someone, wishing they'd booked on their own rather than waiting for the DCL group to gather, etc. and my parents have booked independent excursions w/ other cruise lines, so hoping it runs smoothly.

Thank you Kellie for organizing the FE lists.
Welcome Kim!
We're getting so excited!
