Wonder Holiday Cruise 12/21/13

[allbluezoo]

Just booked our first excursion for the cruise! Can't wait to take the boys to stingray city and starfish point...they are going to FLIP!!

I was going to start a FB group for our cruise....would anyone be interested in that? Not sure if it is redundant but I'm on FB way more than Dis.

We'd be interested in a FB group...

Great! I started it up....

I think you just click that link and ask to join? I left it closed so that it doesn't show up in feeds of anyone outside the group.

We're up for a FE. Last Christmas people hung stockings outside their cabin and for their FE. It was a lot of fun!

I'll also request to join the FB page. Here's hoping I do it right.

Our family will be joining everyone aboard the Disney Wonder for the Holiday Cruise!!! We are so excited and cannot wait to suprise our kiddos.

We would also be interested in the "FE" exchange, and I have also requested to join the FB group.

How old our your kiddos? I really wanted to be able to take my daughter to stingray city, but my son is a few months shy of being able to go on the excursion.

8 & 11 when we cruise, what place are you going through? We are using Acquarius (yes, it's spelled that way lol!) and there is no,age restriction. Actually kids under 4 are free!!

Well, it's just the two of us so far! I am having a friend make the FE for me as we will be using our stockings in the stateroom.

Anyone else want to participate in a FE group?

I'm on the fence. My DS would love it. My only hesitation is hauling gifts on the plane from Oregon. Talk me into it!

New to cruising...so also new to FE. I know what the are but unsure

Well, it's a Christmas cruise so you have 2 themes you can work with! They don't have to take up much room: magnets, something special from your hometown/state, ornament DIY? If you are on Pinterest there are TONS of ideas that don't break the bank or take up a lot of room.

Awww, come on! It will be fun!!! I'm excited for the kids to have something fun like an FE as it goes along with Christmas.

We've only done it once but it was fun.

Basically everyone who is in gets put on the FE list and you bring a small gift for each person. Last time we received everything from, magnets to notepads to ornaments to small toys and snacks. It you purchase wisely, you should be able to pack it easily.

Another option would just be to mail a package with all of the gift to your stateroom ahead of time.

OK, I'm in...

I think we want to do FE too, based on what I understand about it. have to think of something fun to bring for everyone ...

Eeek! I'm nerding out, I'm so excited! Don't forget to give a little intro on FB and share your DIS name so we can keep everyone straight lol!

 

[ThankfulGirl]

Our family will be sailing with y'all! We've never been on a cruise, so we don't know much about FE. I'm sure our 12 yr old daughter would be excited to participate, though.

 

[TMLatimer]

We have started a Group page on FB. You should join there as well. It tends to be much easier to communicate with everyone. And, you are not alone being new to the FE.....there are a few of us first timers going

The FB Group is 2013 Christmas on the Wonder

This is our first time on a Disney Cruise (any cruise actually). It will be myself, hubby, and four children (21, 16, 7 and 5). We are from the KC, MO area.

 

[Jofree27]

We will be on this cruise as well. We are traveling with the extended family so there are 14 of us all together. This is our first Disney Cruise. We definitely want to do the FE (everyone but my parents) so please let me know what we need to do to sign up for that. I've sent a request for the Facebook page. We are looking forward to the cruise. :0)
