Wonder, Waves and Wishes. 18th October 2009. Remembering the waves!

I had a look at them on ebay. They seem quite expensive and I can only get one from the USA. I may have to go for Plan B. As I'm not very crafty I will have to have a think.

I think you could make a FE as elaborate or not as you want........

Yeah, I'm not crafty either, though I really want to be. I'll try to come up with something. I think we'll participate. You can put Brenda and Haley on the list. I'll have to PM someone with our room number and all b/c I can't remember it off the top of my head. I liked the little fish extender that Matthewsmom1 showed us. It's definitely something I could put together with maybe a tad bit more added. Hey, as long as we can participate and DD is not totally humiliated by it, I'm okay with it.

 

[matthewsmom1]

YAY! I'm going to write up some info about FEs, etc. & ask that DCLMan edit his first post to include that information. Then people can PM me so I can start a list of everyone that's participating. I'm SOOOOO excited!

Thanks for that, it gives me a starting point.

Thank you and nope we did a eastern 7 day in 2007. It was wonderful and I am a little sad that I won't be able to do another 7 day but still excited to go on the Wonder for the first time.

Never did the FE, read a few posts about them sounds fun. On my last cruise our meet just did some gift bags for the kids for pirate night, so this is nice that its for the adults too

 

[matthewsmom1]

I know! It my first DCL cruise. I've done 2 of those 'other' cruises when I was younger. We're excited to have you with us!! Be sure to read the FE info I had DCLMan add to the first page - and PM me with your names, kids ages, email & stateroom (if you know it now).

Welcome Christa, good to meet you!

 

[jajomo0118]

Thanks!

Anyone know? Do I have to go make a new ticker or can I just reset the one I have? I'll be a week early if I keep it..lol..I don't feel like waiting in the terminal that long...LOL

 

[TeamTinkerbell]

Christa, I my ticker is not a ticker factory, it's through magical kingdoms, and I was able to change my existing one. Good luck.

Hi Christa Welcome.
I'm not crafty at all so looks like I will have to buy a FE. There was really nice Mickey & Minnie ones a month ago for sale on Ebay.

Me too, There are some women at work that knit and sew so I'm hoping that they can "hook" me up....lol. I'm still thinking how to even explain what a FE is...

 

[DCLMan]

It looks like most of our children are the same age.

I haven't re-read all of the posts lately, but I did just read post #1 again.

About the FE exchanges. I did read on another post somewhere that for the longer cruises people usually signed up for a particular day/time to pass out their gifts. From experience, people were saying that one time is enough since the ship is so large that there's a lot of walking involved. Since ours is a shorter cruise, we may want to do that so everyone isn't handing out stuff on the first day.

Maybe some people will have gifts that could be used right away, so they could go earlier, and those that have gifts that aren't as "useable" right away could go later. For example, if someone's handing out pirate gifts, they wouldn't want to pass them out after Pirate Night. We could figure out who goes when as the cruise date gets closer and we know what we're giving.

I know that DD will be thrilled to help me pass out the gifts. I may even have her help make something for the other kids. She's always making cards & stuff and would think it would be fun.

Does this make sense?

 

[matthewsmom1]

That completely makes sense! Of course, never having been on a DCL cruise I was underestimating the hugeness factor of depositing gifts every day.

As it gets closer I will ask people if they have a preference as to what 'day' they pass out their gifts. So hopefully we'll have gifts arriving every day.

Great idea! Keep 'em comin'!!!!
