Just wondering if anyone has bought embroidered pillow cases to have the characers sign and if so do you have a link to a website I can buy them at?

I googled etsy stitches and bows and ordered pillowcases and a few other things...lol. If you check out stitches and bows on facebook make sure it's by esty you can see samples of pillowcases and shirts. Great stuff. Her name is Jen tell her I sent you!

I am going to bust the rest of my girl presents out today. I am almost done with the parents. I hope the boys like what I have done for them. I really am at a loss for them as to what to do.

Don't fret! Everyone will love what you give them I've got some pirate booty to hand out for the boys and the girls are getting something to wear. The adults are getting one gift. I am doing several handmade things but ordered stuff too from Oriental Trading. And one thing I used a Groupon for.

I can't imagine how some of the other groups give out to 50-60 cabins and don't split up their list. The cost must be crazy

Now I just need to find someone with a Cricut to help me!

Hi everyone! I posted a loooong time ago, but wanted to re-post now that our cruise is going to be here before we know it!!

I just ordered some great stuff from the disneystore for FREE using the gift cards we got from Sam's. I got some personalized shirts for my boys to wear on pirate night, and I also got them some presents that "Mickey" will be leaving them each day (so as not to have any fits pitched wanting super expensive stuff on the ship!).

I know that ya'll probably discussed this before, but here are a few questions, I'd love to see what you guys have to say about:

1. What deck are you on?
2. Are you dressing up for pirate night?
3. Are you planning on going to all of the shows (Believe, Golden Mickeys, Villains?)
4. Do you have early or late dining?
5. What excursions are you planning?

Wal Mart had Cricuts on sale for $75.

1. What deck are you on? We are on Deck 10 I think room 10160

2. Are you dressing up for pirate night? We have pirate shirts but do not dress up

3. Are you planning on going to all of the shows (Believe, Golden Mickeys, Villains?) We try to hit every show. They are so good we can't miss them.

4. Do you have early or late dining? Early dining for us

5. What excursions are you planning? We are inbetween thoughts on Nassau, we cannot decide between staying onboard, buying a day pass for the Sheraton or still considering Atlantis.

 

[tinkmom2]

Hiya,

1) What deck are we on? We are on deck 6 and have a deluxe family state room with verandah room 6610

2)Are we dressing up for pirate night? Yes and no. DD 5 and my DH have costumes. I do not so I will probably wear a pirate shirt. My oldes DD doesn't want to do whatever we are doing so probably not lol!

3)Are we going to all the shows? Probably not. I hear Villans is horrible and this is our third cruise.

4) We have late dining and love it. We all take a nap during the day and we don't have to rush back from our excursions. It just seems like we can fit more in our day.

5) Excursions: We have the Blue Lagoon Dolphin encounter planned, are splitting a cabana, and will probably play a few games of bingo.

PS come to our Dismeet time and place TBA but it would be great to meet you!

Hi Everyone,
Just made a $55 purchase on some great gifts for the kids. Adults will be getting a really nice homemade gift as well. Can't wait to put everything together and get it all packed up. So excited to get things rolling!!!!

Hello
We are on deck 10.....we plan on going to lots of shows because this is our first disney cruise. We are wearing pirate attire for pirate night and we have early dinning. Lastly, we are going to Atlantis for some water park fun when we arrive in the Bahamas. Hope to meet you!

I am wondering how the whole FE exchange works. Looking for some advice. Is it better to take one night and drop off the goodies or do a little at a time. I counted about 25 cabins so far and I am wondering the best way to go about this fun event. Any though/suggestions?
Thanks
Carol

Wal Mart had Cricuts on sale for $75.

I picked up one on ebay for $65.00 and have bids out on the Disney cartridges

You don't have to give to all 25 cabins we split the list into two groups. Twin color coded it so you can only give those cabins. Otherwise it's a lot of walking. I stop once at each cabin but some like to go each day. That's up to you. Let me know if you need the color coded list. Someone also said they were going to make a map but I can't remember who?

I'm assuming I'm in the green group...is this correct?

Twin you can use this idea if you want. I was going to buy some wallets from Oriental trading co. They were $11 a dozen. Then I was going to get inkjet transfer paper and print out a Mickey design and attach it to the outside of the wallet somehow possibly with fabric glue. Otherwise some pirate bandanas might be a good idea since they don't hand those out anymore. *I have the eyes covered lol

 

[tinkmom2]

Yep you are in the green portion. Going between those three decks shouldn't be too bad. I am making my gift bags at home and shipping them to our hotel so I don't have to lug them in my luggage. Also in the past I brought along my daughter to help hand stuff out. So if you need extra hands let us know and we could try to help you this time

Really... they don't hand out bandanas anymore??? I'll have to bring mine from the pirates league. Thanks for the information.

Thank you so much...great idea shipping the gifts to the room. I may look into this. How sweet of you to help. I think I will ask my in-laws to watch kids while my husband and I make the rounds. Don't want to take up anyone's time on vacation
Thanks
