Hey Kathy, it's Wayne-Adult (Dad of Katy). I've been posting on the Roll Call. They have our info up top under my user name. Just need to add your dad and Winnie. We can't participate in the FE stuff for obvious reasons. Less than 4 weeks to go now!!!

I was not going to do FE's, but after following this thread, I am thinking about it.

Can someone summarize FE's? What do they look like (the actual FE)? How often do you give gifts? Are you assigned days or is it every day or just a few times.

I have read a little bit about them in the past, but am not really sure exactly what is involved. I am not terribly crafty but am getting more interested.

Is there a thread to link to with pictures or something of what they look like and more about the whole exchange thing? Or can someone nicely explain in in sort of detail?

THANKS!!!

I think on the main DCL forum there is DCL FAQ sticky that has this posted. Alot of good information there. I am opting out this trip for the FE. It was SUPER fun to get back from an event and find goodies in your FE! I had a hard time finding space in our luggage for all the goodies. Plus, our DD#2 keeps us so busy that I just want to "go with the flow" on this cruise. We also have my mom traveling with us so she is going to keeping us busy too! This is her first cruise!

 

[becca-becca]

I need to update our info.

We have 5 cabins (SPH).

In addition to the 14 already on the first page, we have another family,
DH, DW, DD10 and DD6 coming with us.

I ordered a FE on Ebay. I am committing my immediate family (5 of us). I am still debating on the other 4 cabins. I will decide in the next day or so.

So, right now, cabin 5024, with DH37, me-39, DS12, DD10 and DD6 are in.

Do we just bring one gift to give out at a certain time? I am going to review the sticky. It just looks like fun and I decided I didn't want to miss out!!

 

[becca-becca]

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

UPS just delivered my documents!!! Love the new booklet format.

We got our docs yesterday and so did my parents. We both got the free cruise with the DVC add-on. There are three other cabins in our group who are paying with DVC points and they didn't get theirs yesterday.

 

[becca-becca]

Yes, we are DVC members at AKV. My signature needs to be re-vamped. It is too big and I need to add another trip. Maybe I will get to it after the cruise!!!

 

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

Im really looking forward to this cruise. its 10 deg here.

I had a cpl of folks ask me about Shadow.

Normally I let "little kids" & other folks in wheelchairs pet him. But when its a ship Full of kids i dont let anyone.

He works for the "petting" that i give him. If i let everyone pet him, He wont work for me. (sorry)

I'm a trainer of Service dogs.

For FE "gifts" Toys are allways good lol. He cant have "food" of any type. (his tummie)

This is one he got the last time. (And the collar too)

Mark & Joy

Duckfan,

I went through the list last night, and I was coming up with a total of 18 cabins(that is including us). 18 is including rooms 6118/6113/6111/6147, thats the ones you had a question if they were in or out. I was just curious cause I have to go out and get more things(I cant say cause I am making them). Bought more gift today for the kids though

See y'all real soon.

It's 14 cabins and I'm not sure who in that group does and doesn't want to do the FE so I didn't add any of them to the total yet.

 

[Paragd911]

[becca-becca]

I love your FE!! I am not a talented sewer, so I ordered our off of Ebay!! It should be here sometime soon.
