It says I can't post attachments. What do I need to do? Maybe I don't have enough posts under my belt. Any ideas?

I'm not sure anyone can post attachments - you've got enough posts (over 10).

I think most people use Photobucket. Free account. Upload your photos.

Once you have uploaded and saved your photo(s), when your mouse is over the photo, a block will come up with various choices of codes - use the IMG code. Click - it will say "copied" Then paste in your DISboard post.

Does anyone else have teen boys that will be cruising? We will have our 15 and 14 yo sons with us. This is our first cruise ever. (tips anyone?) We're hoping there are other teens that they can hang out with.

Southwest releases their schedule for dates after Nov 4 in 25 minutes! We will be flying back the day before Thanksgiving, so I don't expect the airfare prices to get any better than what I will get at midnight Central tonight.

Down to 24 minutes.

Thanks Lynne, I will try it that way.

Flights are booked, but I am not thrilled with what I had to pay for them!!

One more task marked off the list.

Congrats, I bet the flights are outrageous. Glad you are cruising with us.

I hear you and I second that. SW prices were released to day - Nashville to Orlando is $133 + $188 for the RT. And Nashville is a 2-hour drive from home. Makes the Airtran price of $119 each way (from hometown) look so much better. And it is too much as far as I'm concerned. Don't know if the Veteran's Day holiday makes any difference.

I paid $307 each for our RT tickets, but without having to pay for baggage fees, I think SWA is still the way to go. Plus I can always hope for a Ding fare sale, because SWA doesn't charge a change fee so if it goes on sale, I can change!

I have found so many neat items for the FE's!!! I can't wait to make up the goodie bags and distribute them to you all!

 

[Wondermom1965]

Hi,
Can you add my daughter's best friend on the FE list under our room? Brittany will be 12 years old on the cruise. Thanks a bunch!

 

[mnrhannah07]

Just wanted to let you all know there were some changes to the FE list so do check the updated list when you all get a chance! Thanks!

My son will be 14 on the cruise, so am glad to see that he will have other boys his age to hang out with.

So if there are say 25 or so families, do people ever do a family type gift that is for the entire family or do people mostly due individual gifts? Starting to stress! LOL

Hi Everyone,
Just returned last week from an 11 night Med cruise which was wonderful. Now looking ahead to our next DCL vacation on this cruise. Look forward to meeting you all soon!

Don't stress sweetie, this is supposed to add to the fun, not the stress. I'm sure everyone will be happy with whatever you do. The first time I participated in FE exchange, I thought I had to give a gift everyday to each person. There weren't that many people, so it was fine, but it took a long time to get together. I made labels with our picture, name, and room #. I put the people names, room #, and day # on each bag or basket with the labels. I tried to keep the goodies appropriate to the theme. It was so much easier to distribute once we got there. Some things we received were Disney pins for trading or collecting, Disney necklaces, bracelets, a handmade water color picture of the ship with the dates of the cruise. Some people have given out water bottles and magnets they customized, etc. This time will be giving out a variety of pirate treasures, Tinker Bell dominoes, lil' purses, lip gloss, glow sticks, Silly Bands, thick rubber bracelets, watches, beach basket, Christmas items, etc. depending on age level. If the items or bag is too large for the FE, you could attach it to the fish with ribbon or tie wrap. Hope this helps alleviate some of your worry. Can't wait to meet you on the ship.
