Got it if you want to edit info out. We will be neighbors as I am in the room next door, I was wondering if someone would book that room. You will have to let me know about the PC trip as I am booked on the April one next year.
But at least you are working on the important things and if all else fails I have seen people just use a bag as their extender.
I had to do this last year, luckily it didn't take long to get the new one. Now the hard part is waiting to fill in the form online as you need the new passport number.
Just wait, for some reason the last month before the cruise is when more people seem to find us.hi everyone, you would think we would have more people going this close to the cruise. But this will make the meet and greet more personable

from joining the DISboards only FE group. 
We still need to get our daughter a passport! Ahhhhh!
Can you get a passport for someone so young? How long is it good for? I don't want to say just use a birth certificate cause if something were to happen in the Bahamas I don't think you could fly back with her, but it seems weird to get one for her.
They can have one at any age. It lasts for 5 years. I'd rather have one and not need it than need one and not have it. Plus, we're hoping to travel to Europe in the next few years and she'll definitely need it then.
We did it, we finally hit double digits! This is the problem with booking cruises over a year out-they take forever to get here.
The biggest hassle of the passport for kids is that BOTH parents usually have to be present (check specifics on State Department website).
Do we still need to have 10 posts to be eligible (seems like I Saw something about that on an earlier post)?Only because I forgot earlier(and I haven't posted enough today

No new info - I am just moving/updating it for a new page for the newcomers who don't feel like reading the whole thread. Hopefully, all the info to follow will help answer some questions and not scare anyone away
For those that are interested in joining the FE, here are my rules and guidelines. The last group will be closed one month before the cruise and I will then start a latecomer’s group/pixie dust group. Each group will stop at max of 10 cabins. If someone drops before the cruise, I will not replace them in a group(unless the group agrees). If the group had hit 10, it will stay closed.
Real names are not required – it is DW(Darling Wife), DH(Darling Husband), DD(Darling Daughter) and DS(Darling Son). For anyone who wants to make personalized gifts, let me know and I will see what I can do about getting real names.
Info required to join the FE is room #, who is in the room, ages of any kids and an email to send the final list to. Optional info is any allergies and favorite characters. The only person that will have your email is me and I will delete it from my contacts once we are back from the cruise. I will not share your email address unless you request it. I will send an email to all participants in each group as it closes. I will put directions in the email, but please look at the FE info and make sure it is correct. I will have everyone email me back to assure me they have received their email and everything is correct. After that, the only email you will get from me is if there are any changes in your FE group.
There is no spending limit(spend what you are comfortable with). Gifts can be per person or per cabin, your choice. There is no set day to deliver, just have everything delivered before Thursday(Dec. 1st) night. Please make sure to hang your extender as soon as possible for those who want to deliver early(or daily - it does happen). If there is no extender, please do not leave anything as the participants may have changed rooms.
I will let everyone know of any room changes up to 48 hrs. before the cruise, then I will be traveling to Texas and have limited access to the internet. After that you will either have to go door to door and drop off a note of any changes or I will have a whiteboard at my room to write any messages. Be aware that since I am not going to be in every FE group, most people will have no reason to check the board at my room. I will make sure everyone has my room # so they can check the whiteboard or call if they have any issues.
Closer to the cruise we can maybe plan an onboard meet up on day 1 for anyone interested. If anyone is interested in being in charge of starting groups for mixology classes, an ornament exchange(has been organized elsewhere), a postcard exchange, a recipe exchange etc… feel free as I am only doing the FE.
As always, I will try to check this thread daily so feel free to ask any questions.
Also, isn't there someplace I can check to see how many posts I have?
