Hi Stacy,

The FE exchange is where people in different cabins give treats to the other participating cabins. It is SO much fun!!!!! My family and I went on our first Disney Cruise last year and had a blast. It adds to the whole experience when you come to your cabin and find treats waiting on you I don't know who had more fun, me or my daughter who was 10 at the time. The gifts can be made if you are crafty or bought. It was really neat to get gifts from other parts of the country! As for me, I gave Mardi Gras treats since I was from Mobile, AL, and ALABAMA Crimson Tide cups and New Orleans Saints playing cards, etc. I hope I gave you some insight, but I would happy to answer any questions you have

Cindy

PS The official purpose of the FE is the place where you receive mail.

First, let me apologize to Penny because somehow I lost your message in my private messages, so if you could let me know Becca's age I can add it to the list along with what she likes and your stateroom. If anyone sees a mistake, just let me know and I will correct it. If there are more people interested in the FE Gift Exchange, just send me a message and I will add you to the list. On a personal note, family with children, if you would let us know what they are into, it makes it easier to get age appropiate gifts!

Please keep in mind this is the first time I have organized a FE Exchange, so please go easy on me!!!!!

Cindy

Hey there no worries.. Becca is turning 13 on March 5th-she likes the run of the mill teen/tween stuff-and as for characters- Mickey,Minnie, and Tink. Our cabin is still to be determined -It's a cat 11a GTY... I think that the Feb. 6 cut off day is good- Man I gotta get busy on on my family gifts!!:-Time's Flyin'

Thank you for the info... Sounds fun! We are from New Orleans, so will be fun for us also since we'll be on board for Mardi Gras! We have a couple families going. I'll pull out our cabin numbers in the morning and forward them to you. Thanks again!!! P.S. WhoDat.....!!!!

nolagirl529, awesome reminder (for me, at least) ~ Fat Tuesday this year will be celebrated while we're on the Dream.

I can't wait to see what the Disney Crew *or Krewe!* have in store for all of us!

[jestersgypsy]

Just to be historically correct, Mardi Gras was born in Mobile, Alabama--New Orleans just happened to make it famous!!!!!!! But hey, there is more than enough fun to go around for everyone

DisneyWhoDat - what a way to celebrate Mardi Gras, hey? Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Hi Joanne & Josh !!

Just 53 more days...can you believe !? It will be soooooooo good to get back on a Disney ship with our friends !! We'll have to explore this great big beautiful ship together ! Did you decide on your Nassau morning ?

Welcome to all our new friends that we'll be sailing with !
Especially to the 1st time cruisers !! That 1st cruise....what a thrill I remember. I guess this is our 30th cruise...10 with DCL and the thrill is still there ! Some of our happiest moments are on a cruise, and especially on Disney, who brings the best service afloat with classy casualness and a whole lot of fun for ALL ages !! If you've been on other cruise lines, you'll soon discover why you may pay a little more. Out of 8 cruise lines...IMHO,
Disney is best !
