*May 27, 2012 DISNEY DREAM* 5-night Double Dip to Castaway Cay!

[tdizzle]

Hi Everyone! Some of you have started PM'ing me asking me for details on the FE list so far so you can start your planning. So, to make it easier, I've uploaded the spreadsheet to Google Docs and you can access it with this link, you dont need to sign in or anything:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuVIzUuxho4adGZZMDVaNlN1QzhlR3lyaFNaLUFLR3c

Let me know if you have any problems, I haven't used google docs in awhile but it seems pretty straightforward.

Now for the FE cutoff, the consensus was to cut off 6 weeks prior to cruise, which will be April 15, now that's an easy one to remember ; ) Anyone else who wants to join please PM me between now and 4/15. This gives us time to finalize/personalize our gifts.

Nicole you Rock!! SO appreciate the doc link for clarity!!!

Just wondering if I'm alone in spending several hours recently checking the updated photos on the food thread or experiencing feelings of FE envy ("why can't I think of cool stuff like that?")?? Random thoughts of "Do I really NEED more pins?" or "Should I order a new magnet for the door?" occurring just as I drift off at night . . .

 

[schwabegooftroop]

No tdizzle, you are not alone!
I am into my Dis-addiction full force now!

Magnets...check!
FE gifts began....check!

I am positively giddy and cannot believe it is getting so close now...

Question to my fellow castaways, who's dressing up for Pirate night?
We are, but just wondering if we will have buccaneer buddies?

Can't wait!

Hi everybody,
Glad to be joining this thread. We are getting so excited about the upcoming trip. I hope that we aren't too late to join the FE list!?! I will be sailing with my 10 year old daughter and this will be our first Disney cruise. We are in full planning mode and I've been reading all about the FE exchange and door magnets. I'm beginning to feel overwhelmed.

Wdwprincess71,

My name is Natalie & I will be traveling with my daughter, Ava.
She is 10 years old. We aren't picky about an FE day so just put us down any day. Our hometown is Madison, MS. Please let me know if you need any other information.

~Natalie ~

Second sailing on the Dream for us. DH and I went last April without the children! This time we will have our Daughter (14), Son (11) and Daughter (8). They will all be eligible to be in the 3 different kids spaces. Anyone have any children same ages? Hoping to find them a penpal before we cruise. It's so cold here in PA today. I am dreaming about the warm sand of Castaway Cay. ooooooooo

Hi! we also have a daughter that is 14, and a son that is 11! I am sure they would love to email-let me know!

 

[NatalieandAva]

Oops....I just realized that I forgot to include our stateroom number(2030) & our last name(Case)

Thank You!

I can hardly believe we are a little more than 6 weeks away from sailing. I think am more excited than anyone else in my house, for sure. I've spent hours personalizing & printing magnets for our door and just ordered more supplies to finish gifts for the FE exchange. I've been intimidated by all of the amazing gifts on the "homemade FE" thread.

Amy,
We won't be doing any major dressing up for night. Just the small stuff like eye patches, hoop earrings & mickey ear pirate hats. However, I do love seeing everyone else's creative costumes.


HURRY UP MAY 27th!!!!

 

[Niebz]

Amy - We're doing full on pirate wear for the pirate party! Even my little man who's 18 months old has his costume all ready to go. Can't wait!

How do i find out about the fish extenders for this cruise??

 

[Dclnut143]

So i think i read right that today is the cut off day for the fe. We want to be included. There is 3 total. Husband and i and a 4 year old son. Please let me know. We dont have our room yet but i will let u know asap

 

[princesskayla]

Hello to all! I am looking at joining this cruise. It is totally up in the air and I won't find out until tomorrow - but I wanted to give a heads up to join the FE group.

We are booked for July 22 - double dip cruise, however, after trolling the web, I came aross a discounted rate that would save us quite a bit of money and upgrade us to a balcony room. Now I just have to wait until Monday to see if I can get the two days off that I would need.

We are doing the FE group with the other cruise and I love that about Disney cruises. This cruise is just my husband and myself - we are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and finally taking our official honeymoon. This will be our very first vacation together without kids in tow.

So...I will let y'all know tomorrow if I can join your merry crew. Would that be too late for FE?

We signed up for this cruise last minute and would like to join the FE exchange if still possible. I tried to send a PM to the coordinator but since I'm a new user it won't let me until I have 10 posts. Rather than flood the board with useless posts , can anyone help? Thanks!

You can either a) post your info here or b) just post 9 more generic one word posts to get up to 10. The deadline was yesterday but if you can give me your info today that should be fine. We do need to cut off at some point though as you can understand many have started or need to start their gift planning now and it depends on the number of participants what they want to do.

Good Evening everyone- the Fish Extender List is now officially CLOSED. Thank you all for signing up, it will surely be lots of fun! We finished out with 22 rooms. I've assigned the days for delivery based on everyone's preferences- of course it is not the end of the world if something comes up and you can't deliver on your assigned day, but if we can all try to do so, it does make it more fun knowing that you'll get a few gifts each day as opposed to a lot on one day and hardly any if at all on another. The new link to the Google file is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuVIzUuxho4adFRjX2VjVjBtWXlaZTRRcTBST2l6QVE

Please review when you get a chance to let me know if I listed anything incorrectly. Dclnut143, I still need your first names and hometown if you choose to list them for gift personalization. As far as tips go, what kinds of questions do you have? I can try to help if you have specific questions in mind.

Oh sorry. I am amanda, hubby is michael and son is chandler. Where is a good place to buy a fe? Something cheep or semi-cheep. Saving for the gifts and the cruise so i dont want to spend the $40 or so on the actual fe i have found on ebay. I have no sewing skills so that is out too haha. And what are some good gift ideas? Something that u might have gotten before that u liked etc.
