November 25, 2009 ~ Gobble~Gobble~ 4 Day WONDER Thanksgiving Cruise

[mstinson14]

For the meet and greet, where and when is that? Thanks! Only nine more days!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AJMlovesRLM]

Does anyone know (or have a link to) the recommended tipping guidelines?

 

[miksilver]

Do most people put "tags" on the gifts saying who they are from? Or is it just "Disney magic" that brings the gifts to each door?

Thanks!

Ashley

I label my FE gifts and find that on my last cruise most dis'ers labeled theirs as well.

I still have a few more things to do for my FE gifts, a little repair to my FE, and door magnet making to do.

My family will be dressed up for formal night, but nothing over the top. I like to dress up on cruise nights and my DD loves her dresses. I also found her a cute pirate costume on clearance for $3.50 that she will be wearing on pirate night and my DH and I have pirate t-shirts that I originally made for the Princess and Pirates Party at MK. Add a pirate necklace, hoop earings and bandanas and we are ready to go.

Work has been super, crazy busy for me and it's my goal to not take my computer with me on this family trip so if you don't see me posting on these boards as much in the next week, that's why.

Look forward to meeting you all,
Kim

I also plan to hand out all my FE gifts on one day (which day, I do not know ). I am wrapping them in a ziploc & attaching a label identifying it is from us.

Just to clarify participation, I count and catagorize as follows: 12 men, 16 women, 3 teens/uncle, 6 boys and 8 girls. Can anyone verify this.....I do not want to miss anyone but I also do not want to overpack!

Still hoping someone can shed light on the suggested tipping...............

I found this thread last night while researching our cruise. I ordered an FE today but just realized that the FE gift exchange list closed for this trip. . Is this the only group that does FE exchanges? Oh well. We will still bring it and decorate the door. This is our first Disney Cruise and our daughters first cruise. We have 3 girls that will be going to the Club (6, 5, 3) We are DVC members. Look forward to seeing you all there and thanks for all the info.

Sorry for the closed FE exchange, but we had to give time for those participating to arrange for their gifts.

Please join everyone for the 3pm Meet & Greet in Promenade Lounge on Deck 3 on Wednesday.

We will see you at the DVC party on the ship.

This is taken directly from the Disney Cruise website.

It is customary to give gratuities in recognition of service, which you will most likely be treated to in abundance aboard the ship. As a guideline, we suggest the following:

Per Guest per cruise 3-Night 4-Night 7-Night
Dining Room Server $12.00 $16.00 $28.00
Dining Room Asst. Server $9.00 $12.00 $21.00
Dining Room Head Server $3.00 $4.00 $7.00
Stateroom Host/Hostess $12.00 $16.00 $28.00
Dining Manager Your Discretion
Room Service Your Discretion
Palo Gratuity included
Vista Spa & Salon Your Discretion
Babysitting Gratuity not expected
Shore Excursions Optional; not included in shore excursion price.

For your convenience, a 15% gratuity is automatically added to bar, beverage, wine and deck service tabs. All gratuities can be charged to your room charge. (Good to know)

At the Walt Disney World Resort, 15% is the customary gratuity at restaurants and bars.

If you tell your stateroom number, I'll be sure to put something in your FE. I have a bunch of stuff I'm bringing and am glad to share so your daughters can enjoy!
