Thank you for the great FE gifts!!! It was nice to meet so many "wonder"ful people. The meet and greet was one
of the best we have ever attended. Looking forward to seeing the group pictures. Safe travels home to all...

I just wanted to thank all of you FE participants for such a fun week! It was so fun to walk down the hall & see my girls light up when they saw something hanging out of our FE. We got so many wonderful, thoughtful, fun things. Hope you all had as great a trip as we did!

We are a LAX at the moment about to head to Cabo before we head Barton Australia. we ad a wonderful cruise. The kds cried. their little eyes out when they cut the Mickey bands off, and my oldest cried again when he had to eat off the bat. They were all exhausted but had a great time. Thanks so much for all the FE gifts. I was stunned by everyone's generosity. The kids loved checking for mail.

I hope to see some f you again on another cruse.

We had a great time. It was nice seeing a familiar face in the crowd occasionally and sitting down for a bite together.

I took a couple of pictures at the book signing, but can't remember who's they were. Send me a pm and I'll get them to you.

It was so nice meeting everyone. Sierra and I had a great time on the cruise. Like so many others, adjusting to life off the ship is sooo hard. Wish we could have stayed on. At least we have another cruise to look forward to in 228 days.

Lise, Chuck, and Sabrina it was wonderful getting to know you. You're great people and we will stay in touch. Who knows maybe we can plan a cruise together. . Also, Thank you for the gifts. It was very thoughtful of you even though we didn't participate in the FE.

First I want to thank everyone who participated in the F.E. But most importantly I want to Thank Deb/Disney-ite for making this trips F.E. so "Wonder"ful! This was mine and Eric's first cruise and heard a lot about the F.E. and how fun it is. Not in my most "Wonder"est dreams could I have imagined meeting so many great & friendly people and the fun of looking forward to checking our F.E. at our cabin and then seeing that there was something in it waiting for us. Thank you again Deb/Disney-ite for all the hard work you did in keeping all of us informed and up to date on all the F.E. people. And for making our get together such a FUN, "WONDER"FUL, and LARGE TURN-OUT!

I'm so glad you found the little FE surprise... I heard there were some villainous teens running around taking things.

Another cruise together sounds great... we can rally the tweens! And there's always a chance to meet up at DL when we come down to visit Grandpa next summer

Hello All! We had such a WONDERful cruise! It was great meeting everyone and we had a great time participating in the FE exchange. Some of you really went all out and I was amazed with all the neat stuff we received!
A BIG thank you to Deb/Disney-ite for organizing the meet & greet and the FE list and for keeping track of the thread and all the FE changes!!
Thanks to Princess & Family for making all the bracelts for our dis group!

I was so sad we had to leave the ship! We were a little spoiled on the cruise and it will be hard returning to my normal routine and now my family keeps wanting me to serve them 4 course meals

What can I say? An amazing cruise with some amazing people! We had a lot of fun meeting everyone at the meet and greet although threeiscrazy has alluded me for the 2nd cruise. Next time Sheri, lol. The Palo group brunch was fantastic both in food and in company.

Thank you Deb for organizing the FE and the meet and greet! The FE gifts were some of the best I have ever received! From the magnets to the notebooks to the specialty candies, loved every one of them. The creativity of some blew me away and we listened to our CD on the way home!

We got home late Sunday and are still not unpacked. DH says why unpack? I may take him up on that. Back to the grind and I am trying to catch up, as I am sure most of us are, it's going to take some time to get fully back to reality.

Let's do this again real soon!

I should tell you that we were in Palo at the same time, we even sat near the "party room".

We are already scheduled to sail on the Fantasy April 20, 2013 and I booked a dummy date for 2014 so maybe, just maybe we will formally meet one of these days.

The kids club performance that was on Saturday? We didn't know the parents were invited & I would love to see a pic and/or video.

I'm sure I do but who knows where it's at. Can you send it to me again?

I heard there were some villainous teens running around taking things.

That might explain why I'm missing a few things

Me too! I think we are missing some gifts but I'm not sure because not everyone put their names on things ... oh well I still enjoyed the cruise!

I started posting some pictures on the facebook group page if anyone is interested.

I am shooting for the Fantasy April 19, 2014...I think that is the correct sail away date. The week before Easter 2014! That will be the last time my dd16 (age now) can do the clubs. A milestone I really don't want to achieve.

I put my name on everything that I left for FE participants. My gifts were embroidered. On my FE, there are flaps that you have to raise up to put things in and take things out, you can't really see what is inside. I designed it that way because I had heard of villains before One of the first things that our room steward warned us of was that people might want to take the pins that we have on our FE off of our FE. I assured him that I had locks on the pins and if they were gone, they were gone. I did not end up missing any of them. But right down the hall from us there was a notice on the door that they wanted their Minnie Magnet back. They were not FE participants but I still felt for them. It's sad that people have to lift things from the FE's and the doors
