October 7-10th three day Fall Getaway on the Disney Wonder!

there are directions for a no sew fish extender. It's easy to make. I will find the directions and post them if you'd like.

I found the post last night after I replied here. I went ahead and ordered one off of ebay because it would be able to get here in time. *fingers crossed*

The no sew will be my last minute back up just in case the USPS decides to lose my package XD

Thanks!

I think my 23 yo daughter might be coming too. I'm hoping that she will enjoy it if she does come.

I'm only 25 and going on it as part of my honeymoon! I think your 23 yo daughter will enjoy it plenty.

Okay, I'm sending out emails this morning for the Fish Extender participation! If you don't see it, please PM me.

Woo hoo!!!! Thanks Erin for organizing the FE's and for the list.. I made my own FE and I may may have to use the excuse that my 4 yr. old made it... Oh well, Martha Stewart I am not.. Also, I was able to talk my dh into driving up a day early and staying at a hotel the night before instead of driving 3 hrs. in Thurs. morning traffic!! I just hope a bid gets accepted on Priceline before I have to pay full price...

DH and I are going to be staying in Orlando the night before, so I'm hoping that it won't be TOO horrible. I didn't even THINK about the traffic. Geesh. Just because we're on vacation it doesn't mean other people aren't going to work! I guess we will just leave the hotel REALLY early.

 

[FrigulettoEA]

We usually drive from Davenport to the port and traffic isn't that bad. I take 417 to 528 and over because I think there is way too much traffic on I-4 and 528 in the morning. This time we are leaving home early and driving up to Daytona Beach for 2 nights then down to the port. We are all gonna have a great time.

We are coming the day before also...staying at POFQ. We wanted to play golf (okay, DH plays golf, I drive the golf cart and partake in the cocktails offered by the drive by beverage cart). The flight I want arrives at 11 AM, but the one I booked doesn't arrive till 3 (I keep hoping to change). The earlier flight is $267 just that leg per person, the one I bought was only $109. Amazing that 4 hours can save that much money, but unless I can change it I'm not sure golf will happen.

I imagine that there are some very common things that people give as FE gifts. I've read that a lot of people will give little favor-type gifts and maybe some candy or something like that. I think that those categories are wide enough that they don't have to be necessarily avoided, but are there any FE gifts that you guys think are overdone?

I just wanted some opinions before I start deciding what I'm going to do XD

Thanks!

I think on our April cruise I spent an average of $5 per stateroom for FE gifts. I made bows for the girls hair, pirate & princess craft kits for the kids, bracelet kits for older kids, a laundry packet those 3-in-1 sheets, made keychains using the shrinkey dinks paper and a few other little things. We received alot of little pirate party favor type toys, stickers, homemade scrap/picture book, magnets. It will be lots of fun. It was exciting for us to see what was waiting for us when we got back to the room.

Erin, are we giving our gifts on an assigned night or can we do a little each night?

You can do it however you like! No assigned anything!

It's so funny how I will have more luggage and "stuff" for a 3 night trip than I would have for a week away!! DD wants to bring so much stuff/costumes- I have to remember that she is only 4 does not call the shots on what to bring and what not to bring We went to Disney On Ice last night and had the best time..It's always a great show. Priceline finally accepted a bid from me after 5 days- we got Country Inn and Suites for $75..

I lilke those FE tips..

 

[chellealistic]

That's amazing! DH and I decided to try out Travelocity's secret hotel. You pay for a hotel room based on star rating and a few listed amenities and you don't know which hotel it is until you book and pay for it.

Got the Best Western in Kissimmee for $25/night! Can't beat that!

This FE thing is fun I'm having a great time picking out gifts. I wish I was a crafty person so I could make some things, but maybe next time we go on cruise I will have more time to learn how to do some things!

I just hope my FE gets here on time! It still hasn't shipped

 

[FrigulettoEA]

I pulled out my box of FE gifts and just realized how much I really have. I'm a bargain shopper and started this box in April. I think we will give a little magic in the FE each night since we have such a small group.

I think my 23 yo daughter might be coming too. I'm hoping that she will enjoy it if she does come.

Our DD who is coming with us is 27 and adores the Disney cruises! DD 25 could not make it due to work.. Glad your DD will be able to make it too.

Sorry I have been absent from here the past month - just so much going on here I have had to limit internet time a bit! We had some family from New Hampshire visit and spent a week or so showing them around Chicago. So much fun! But now I am down to the wire here and having to really get things organized for this trip.

We will be arriving after midnight and staying at the Country Inn & Suites. We will head to Vero Beach after the cruise just for one additional night. Spent all my vacation time on the Baltic last July. Never enough time off, lol.

Happy Saturday everyone!

13 days and we will be at the F & W fest. I can't wait.

We're going to be there on Oct 5th or 6th. I've never been (to that event OR to epcot) but I'm really excited about it! Wee

18 days until the cruise!

Michelle you are going to absolutely love it. This is my DD23 favorite park...especially when it's F & W fest.
