I see that there is a pirate party. I assume we should bring our own pirate gear? I assume there is some available for purchase on the ship but is it real $$$.

finally at 10. will be pm to Kathy as we would like to be a part of the FE group. I know this is late. sorry for that if I am messing people up. I am super excited about this. also I see a lot of posts on the board for door decorations. can someone explain this? do you bring a bunch of stuff just to put on your door???

 

[lisaandjim]

This is our first Disney cruise. we took the kids to Disney about 1 1/2 years ago and resisted the urge to live there indefinitely!!!! that was the best vacation ever. they really know how to do it! we wanted to do something different and thought why not a cruise so here we are!!! I've learned about the fish extenders, still confused on how we join this. if someone could add us to a list or whatever we need to do that would be great. our family consists of me (lisa), jim (husband), nick (10) and Claire (6). we would like to participate in all things FEE. it sounds like a blast!! just started going thru all the posts but since they were started some time ago may take me awhile to figure out what is going on..... any help is appreciated.... I can't wait.

So glad you were persistent! I have you on the list. If you will pm me a good e-mail I will send you the document link for the FE. After you look at it, let me know if you are game for the whole list or if you want to be split down to something smaller.

Door decorations are magnets. There are some nice disigners in several parts of the boards that have designed and some are cruise specific and you just print them on magnet paper or print them on card stock, laminate them and put magnets on the back. Disney does not allow anything else but magnets to be put on their doors. Let me find some of my links and I will try to send you into another realm of Disney that will keep you occupied for hours!!!

Has anyone ever shipped their FE gifts to the cruise terminal? I read on the Disboard you can ship them and they will be delivered to the stateroom. But the last update to the post was in 2009 and I wasn't sure if any of the policies changed. Here is the link, thanks!:

Hi All,
My Family will be traveling on this cruise as well. We are Liz and Eric, and we have our two daughters as well: Abigail (14), and Emma (8). My parents will be along for the ride in the non connecting suite next door.
As this is our first cruise, and we're so far behind on the planning, we are not looking to join the FE. Love the idea however!
We have no booked any excursions yet, because we're not sure what we'd like to do in port yet. My parents are in South Africa for another week, so we can't coordinate with them until they get back. Any favorites??
I checked us all in this morning, and we're set to arrive at port at 10:45, but my parents are at 11. Can they come with us, or is it better to just aim for 11? I'd rather not try to trick the system!
Nice to 'see' so many families will be traveling with similarly aged children, ought to be a blast!.
-Liz

Hi Liz, welcome aboard. We really do have a great group of people on this cruise. This is also a first cruise for my family and we are really looking forward to it. I can't offer any advice on excusions as I've never been on one...

But, please check out post 355. I am putting together a private mixology class and still have some room. Going to be some great adult fun! Let me know if you want to join us

 

[lisaandjim]

well booked 2 excursions and nothing else. just don't want to overdo it on our first cruise ever. plus heard that Disney has lots of things to do so want to enjoy all things Disney as well!!! we are going on the island tour of st marten and the butterfly at st john. kids love the butterflies!! something simple and not too expensive... you could blow a bunch of $$$ doing all this!

thanks everyone for the welcome wishes!

The last time we were at St Marten, we did the tour of the whole island that included a stop at the butterfly farm.
This time we are doing the tour of the island only.

Plus at St Thomas we are touring the island since last time we went over to St John and toured there.

I just sent everyone a PM that has not specifically told me whether they wanted to split or not on the thread. As soon as I hear back from everyone, I will be able to finalize the list and we will go from there.
