I like the name Kaylin, that is my Cousins name.

I do not think we are up to 35 FE Families, only around 25 or 26. I think the 35 is total number of families from the DIS Boards that have stated they will be on the same cruise.

Oh gotcha...Yeah...I am a newbie!

And thank you...its a pretty rare name and never met anyone with the same spelling.

I have read about the FE and what it is all about. My daughter is excited about it, so we would like to join the FE list.

Here is more updated info for our family:

DH - Paul
DW - Tami
DS - Ryan (13)
DD - Lauren (7) and turning 8 within a week after cruise this is why the bday celebration. She thinks she's 8.

I also read on one of the posts about shipping the FE items to the ship. Can someone tell me which post has more info on how to do this? It is a great idea, and would like to have it for an option.

Family is all hyped for the cruise. I really think it's me getting them excited because I feel like a kid in a candy store with the cruise.

That was me. You can find all the info on the DCL FAQ thread:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2068966

It's listed under "Boxes Sent the Ship Ahead of Cruise".

Please add me to the cruise list & fish extender list too!! I'm Jennifer & I'll be in stateroom #8583. Thanks

Hi Jennifer!! Are you cruising alone?

I know the FE list is up to 35(i think) families. Will there be a cap on the amt of people in the FE? If so will the families be divided up and a final list distributed?

Our plan is to continue to take names until 10/12/2012. In that last week, all will vote if they want to "remain as one group" or "divide in half." IF the "divide in half " wins, and you had voted to "remain as one group", you can join both halves.

Anyone wishing to PM me an email address, will get an email with the final spreadsheet that same week.

We ran the FE this same way for on my October 2010 cruise. We ended up splitting in half and then a bunch of people chose to be in both. We had a deadline for the second sign up as well and when that closed we had a few stragglers that found us and started yet a third group!

I am not a "crafty" person so I'll be searching for some good ideas to offer up as tokens of my appreciation for all the DISers on this thresd. I really am look forward to this. Don't know how big this group is going to get, but I would imagine the bigger it is, the more fun it will be.

 

[pincruiser]

Yes, I'm cruising solo this trip Thanks!! Forgot to add--I'm from Springfield, Virginia. Cruised Disney many times--but this will be my 1st sailing on the Fantasy!

My secret is the pirate and Disney stuff on OrientalTrading.com! Also check out your local dollar store and the 99 cents section at Target!

We're headed to Gatlinburg in a few weeks. Thought I might see what kind of Asian trinkets are available. Use to be you'd find good-old handcrafted items that were made by locals there but now you turn an item over and you see the "made in China" stamp on the bottom of the piece. Kind of disappointing in a way. Maybe I'll go out in the woods and find some bear "scat" for everyone. At least you know that was made locally.

Ohmigosh...I'm overwhelmed! LOL DH (Reid) and I (Christi) are on this cruise. This is my 6th and his 4th Disney cruise. We are going with extended family (parents, siblings & signfificant others) and I was researching fun, silly gifts that I could do for each cabin (we have 4) and found you guys!

I'm a member on another board, but I have found home here with all you Disney fans! *happy dance*

I'm not sure there's enough time to join the epic party y'all seem to be planning, but I know I'm going to have fun trying to keep up with your ideas! Three months from today!!! WOOOOO!

My bad. My vacation starts 3 months from today! LOL The cruise is 3 months from Saturday! We're flying down on Turkey Day and spending a few days at Disney before the REAL vacation starts on the Fantasy.

I finally found you guys and now you're super duper quiet?

C'mon now! I want some pre-cruise excitement!!

Wonder if Polar scat is any bigger than the Black scat. Can't wait to hear your stories. Hope the whales are jumping for you.
