OMG, I join the thread and now folks are changing their cruise! Seriously, have a great time!

So I think I have found an easy way to keep track of the Fe Extender list and an easy way new people to add their info to it. If you have all already given me your info for the FE Exchange I will update the spreadsheet. If you have not provided all the info please go to the following link and fill-in the form with your info.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dFJ3cEJhdktRQTE2Ul94M2dSaTZ0TEE6MA#gid=0

IMPORTANT: Please have all information to me by August 6, 2012. Any information given to me on this form will not be made public except disboard name and how many are in your party in the FE Exchange list on Page #12. The only people who will have this information will be the DISers participating in the FE Exchange.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Beth,

Great idea and thanks for taking the lead on this. May I throw out an idea/suggestion? I put together the FE exchange on my Med cruise last year and we ended up splitting into two lists due to the amount of folks participating. Participants had the option of just delivering to one list or bother. Really helped keep the exchange manageable (especially when most of us were limited on luggage space on our way to Barcelona.)

Jill,

If the list gets to long I am definitely going to split it up to make it easier. I would not anybody spending too much time, money and luggage space and take away from their cruise. Thanks for your input.

Beth,
This is awesome. Is there any way for the rest of us who are participating to be able to view it as we begin putting together our FE gifts?
Thanks,
Melanie

 

[MickeyMinnieMelanie]

So what are ya'll thinking about for your FE's? Are you going to make your own or purchase one?

Melanie,

Now it is in a manageable spreadsheet I can send it through a PM I believe. I will try to send it out this week and see how it works. I know there is another way if that does not work.

I am not that creative , so I will be buying it.

 

[MickeyMinnieMelanie]

I could probably make one although I can't sew but the ones on ebay and etsy would be so much prettier

I have a pirate themed one I bought on ebay a few cruises ago. (hanging on door)

 

[jedijill]

I bought mine from Gradysmommy (I think that's her ebay name) and it was very nice.

Sorry you won't be joining us. Please drop in and tell us about the ship when you get back!! Have a great cruise!

I will definitely come back and answer any questions you might have! I will be on the Inaugural Eastern itinerary for the Fantasy!!! The first 3 official cruises are Western : )

Gradysmommy did ours as well! She also made the adorable pillowcase to have autographed by the characters!

That looks nice.

My dd12 and I talked about that. I don't know how to do that. Where would I start the cruise thread? On the DCL forum as a general thread but name it Oct. 6th fantasy thread for kids? My dds both have an account on disboards. We don't have facebook. My girls also have email. It might be fun though since there are several 11-14 year old girls going for them to be able to chat together. What do some of ya'll think that have girls ages 11-14?

My daughter will be 14 and is in the same situation. I would like for her to meet some kids her age and be able to feel more comfortable before we are on the cruise. She seemed to hang around with us on our last cruise. Hopefully this cruise will be different - although we did enjoy her company.

We are going to try for handmade, finding it hard to get a supplier in UK so will give it a go with a helping hand from DSIL

I'm going to start a thread for the kids when I get time so that they can talk and get to know each other. Maybe this weekend.

Hi, Please let us know when you do. My DD is 12 and will be 13 by Cruise time. She love, love, loves the cruise, so I know she would enjoy chatting it up with other kids, her age group, that are going! What a great idea. DCL cruisers are just the coolest people

Also, we are up for a meet up, that would be great for the kids, young and old.

 

[jedijill]

I have a friend who is cruising with her family that hasn't made it to the thread yet. She has a daughter that is 13 (i think!)...I've told her about the kids meet thread and is interested so I'll be looking forward to the link once it put together.
