[ICEMANPAD]

Hi everyone-

We will be on the Wonder next month!!
Participating in a fish extender exchange is a lot of fun!! Our DS loves going around the ship and looking at all of the creative door signs and FEs while delivering gifts!!

Count us in on the FE's! It's me, DH and our DD (age 3). Can't wait!

I had started compiling a list from people who had sent me a PM back in August...but I only have 4 families (including us) on that list. If you haven't sent me a PM yet, let me know your info and I can put a full list together to see where we stand so far? I'll send it to everyone participating so that we all have the details.

yes - Count us in. We've never done it before, but we do have our FE ready and just need to get come advice for what kinds of things to bring for FE gifts!

 

[LarryGadget]

Hello everyone... Had a few extra minutes today and wanted to RECAP our gang.... Even a small group is great for an FE Exchange and a few fun activities...... The meet usually happens at the Sail Away Party .... We can determine how we will know each other...

I know someone had volunteered to keep the list and that will be great...

I would also like to host a scavenger hunt for the kids one day... It is really a great time especially on a sea day..

Hi Wendy-

Mason would love to participate in a scavenger hunt!!

Thanks!!

Lisa

 

[ICEMANPAD]

OK, as of now, I see a 4 family FE list, which is fine...

Wendy, Jennifer, Larry and us

If anyone else would like to participate, please post...admittedly, w/a smaller group, deadline can extend until 7-10 days prior to cruise depending on travel plans, but, if you are interested, please post...

As an FYI, Florida resident rates have not been opened on this one yet, though there appear to be a significant number of cabins available...thus if the Florida rates do open at 30 days, which is still possible, there will likely be some late additions to this thread and FE's ( we have been the late addition in the past b/c of Florida rates)..

Looks good! I think I have everyone's stateroom number, so I'll send those out soon to everyone by PM. Let me know if your stateroom changes and I'll be sure to update the group. I can't believe that we're just over a month away!

 

[Tinkerbell 99 Mom]

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the cruise... Just a couple of weeks out. Our family is looking forward to connecting with old friends and meeting new ones.

Lindsey and Mason will most likely be doing some pin trading... So if you have pins be sure and bring them along.

[ICEMANPAD]

Mason already has his pins "organized" for pin trading!!

Just got my cruise documents. Very excited.


Ordering my fish extender this week.


Do we have a total Adults/Kids in our group?


Anything else we need to know?

 

[Tinkerbell 99 Mom]

I posted a list last week with those who I thought were still attending. I do not know if we got a confirmation on those who are doing fish extenders.

My family will participate and ICEMAN pad, I feel I can say for sure.

Let's see if we can get some action on the thread over the next couple of weeks. It is going to be a great cruise !!!

Maybe everyone can post their pre or post cruise plans?

Wendy

 

[Tinkerbell 99 Mom]

Wendy Long traveling with DH (Larry) and DD (Lindsey) age 11.

We are arriving in FL on November 19th and will be vacationing at Saratoga Springs (DVC) until cruise time.... Will be attending Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.

Wendy

 

[ICEMANPAD]

OK, it looks like FE families are up to 5 now, ---- Larry, Jennifer, Wendy, Disney and us..

Both Wendy and us are DW/DH/ and our children are both 11...DD for them and DS for us.

Chuck

 

[Tinkerbell 99 Mom]

Glad we had a reply....

Florida rates will be coming out soon... Hope it work out for those in FL.

Hope to hear from everyone soon.

Maybe we can get some action on this thread....

Could you folks who are FE veterans give me a few ideas about the types of things we should bring to fill them? Here are some questions that are running through my head (and there's a lot of banging around going on in there!)

• What types of things do we need to bring to fill FEs?
• Do we get stuff for kids only or adults, too?
• Do we bring enough stuff for each day of the cruise or several times?

Thanks!!! Can't wait!

We are waiting for the FL rate to come out. If one does, my DH and DS (11 and 6) will be joining you Hoping that we see something soon!!!

I'm curious about this too. I also dont know what DH, DS, etc means.

 

[ICEMANPAD]

If FL rates come out, we will likely use the surplus to go Veteran's Day weekend as well...but we should know Sunday or Monday b/c if they are going to be released, that is when it will happen...

That said, best source of FE stuff is often Oriental Trading Company, especially w/larger groups, which this is not...but still works...basically, kids tend to benefit most, but often there are miscellaneous inexpensive adult oriented items as well....there really are no rules...given our proximity to various Disney outlet stores, we often load from there for smaller groups...you can deliver once or spread it out over the trip...we have not decided b/c we are waiting for a final tally..

I suspect Wendy will chime in with some non-Florida resident thoughts...
