OK peeps, I have learned a ton reading these boards.... so, anyone up for a DIS meet or participating in a fish extenders exchange??? :goodvibes

[Iron Man]

Yes! We would love to participate in an FE exchange.

[jaurban]

I don't know how to make a FE but would be game to participate.

[Princess April]

Well, I don't know either (and I'm not really crafty) but I hear you can buy them off of EBay... I also know that they offer simple instructions on this board....
So, who else is in??? :cool1::cool1::cool1:

[Iron Man]

We have two staterooms so I guess we'll need to make or buy one for each room.

Anyone else out there want to join in?

[Princess April]

[M2DD's]

::BUMP:: Hellooooooooo anyone??? :goodvibes
Anyone here excited???? :rotfl:

I was excited :goodvibes
I was so busy planning our cruise that I had kinda of forgotten this is our last disney world trip for a few yrs:sad1:
We have been AP holders for a few yrs and have been blessed to make a few trips down a yr(6 in the last yr).
I always get down before our trips:sad2: I feel like planning is almost as much fun as going and I have finished planning for this cruise.
Now its just time to sit and wait for the Month of March to go by:surfweb:

If anyone wants to chat to make the time go by faster I'm always around;)

[lawone]

I am really excited!! First time cruisers here and we just got our stateroom assignment! :cool1:

[Princess April]

So.... let's get a final head count for FE.... and find out who's gonna be "in charge" of the info... :lmao: (any volunteers??? :lmao:)
I've never done one, heck this is my first Disney cruise, so I'm out....

Princess April (4 adults, 1 kid)
Iron Man
Jaurban
lawone

M2DD's: you want in????? The more the merrier!!! :goodvibes

[Iron Man]

to all those who are new to the dis cruise line, there should be something on ebay for fish extenders. I thought I saw somewhere that a person did take orders to sew on characters to represent the person for each pocket. After this, have a great time giving and getting gifts aboard the cruise line. Now gear up and get ready to climb aboard for an unforgettable experiance. Good luck, and have a happy voyage on the happiest cruise line on earth...so much fun! scared1:

[Iron Man]

I'm not sure what is involved to take care of info, this is my first disney cruse. I may be interested in being an assistant, or co captain. A head count i can do, and will log on every day and see if any new cruisers have joined. Maybe we should start a thread on the main cruise board to see if anyone else is cruising. You can count on me to help.:cheer2:

Thanks for asking but I think were going to pass this time:goodvibes
This is our first cruise so were not sure what to expect:confused3

[Princess April]

No problem... this is our first (Disney) cruise too but from reading so much about FE's I just HAD to join in!!!! :lmao: I do hope I get to see you on the ship!!!! :cool1::goodvibes

[jaurban]

Our first cruise as well, so really I think we can make it as we wish. My understanding, just from reading, is that we trade cabin numbers and take turns putting our little gifts in the Fish Extenders. I suppose things should be easy to take home, and keep the kids' ages in mind, but aside from that I think we can plan it as we like. Anyone have experience with it or know if I have already violated a rule?

As far as I know this is exactly what we are supposed to do (at leas that was my understanding) I'm was looking at some of the "gifts" and they look simple and inexpensive... like,candy, stickers, little trinkets like you would find in a pinata or goody bag. I thought it was just a fun way to spread a little sunshine to others and I think your right about exchanging our cabin #'s with each other.... how else would we know where to go??? (I can imagine my self spending 1/2 the night running around the ship looking for FE to fill... my family would think I was NUTS~!!! :lmao:) To be on the "safe" side I'm guessing we should PM each other our cabin #'s with our names, amount, age and gender of people in our party.
Sound good???? :goodvibes... I'm soooo excited only a few more weeks and we're crusin'!!! pirate::boat::sail:

[jaurban]

I think that is a good idea. I will do that shortly - and have to get my FE!

Hoping that the water temps on CC are warm! The new water slide opened last wk and I can't wait to try it out:beach:

Also hoping for warm weather in orlando:thumbsup2

Off to start Packing :)

[lawone]

Getting closer..... the excitement is building!

[lawone]

Testing my ticker... soooo new at this!

[Princess April]

So... I have most all my shopping done (I do love to shop) :goodvibes, My daddy's flight is booked and it's almost time to set sail!!!! EEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I Can't wait!!!! :rotfl2::cheer2:

[jaurban]

So, trying to choose local stuff to put in the FE, and wondered what to get the little girls. Finally discovered something little and cute that my DD loves, so hope the other girls on the exchange like them too!

[M2DD's]

Getting so excited:dance3:
We leave a wk from today for WDW:cheer2:
I'm so excited for our crusie I keep forgetting that we'll be in disney the wk before;)

I'm about half way packed. Were going to finish the rest this wkend.
The weather in floridia looks like it is getting warmer and may be in the low
80's.
The only thing I'm worried about is that I've been reading that the water at CC is still cold:scared1: I'm looking foward to CC the most since we have never been to a beach before:beach:
I can't wait to see my girls playing on the beach:cloud9:

P.S We have not told them about the cruise yet.I think were just going to show up at the port and say SUPRISE:yay:

[poison ivy]

Need Help!

For those who purchased their FE's. Could you please tell me if you did this thru ebay? I ordered one yesterday but haven't gotten any response from the person on ebay so I'm worried and thinking I need to cancel and try again thru someone else.

What did everyone else do?

thanks

marie

[lawone]

I ordered mine from here: http://cgi.ebay.com/4-Pocket-Minnie-Mickey-Head-Custom-Fish-Extender_W0QQitemZ320503876684QQcmdZViewItemQQptZL H_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a9f850c4c

I paid and received an email saying she would make/ship. Now, one week out and I don't have anything. I emailed her and still haven't received a response.:confused3

[jaurban]

We just received ours this past week. Probably took about 10 days or so. Think the e-Bay name was Gradysmommy? Lawone, that is the same person. I will try to PM you with her actual e-mail.

[poison ivy]

that's the same person I ordered from. We did make contact and worked everything out.

should be here in time.

[lawone]

Got an email yesterday that my FE is in the mail and on the way!!!!

[jaurban]

Yeah all! Will be by your staterooms soon! Have some goodies in my luggage now.

[Princess April]

Got an email yesterday that my FE is in the mail and on the way!!!!

Woo Hoo!!!!! ... i was trying to think of a way to rig one up for you..... :lmao:

[M2DD's]

Well just a few more days and we'll be with the mouse than on the ship:cheer2:

[lawone]

Woo Hoo!!!!! ... i was trying to think of a way to rig one up for you..... :lmao:

How sweet. :lovestruc

Thanks!

[lawone]

My FE came in the mail!! I love, love, love it!!!

Counting down the days... :cool1:

[Princess April]

Tomm. is the day!!!!!! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2: Who's excited???

[M2DD's]

Tomm. is the day!!!!!! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2: Who's excited???

Hi April
I'm more nervous than excited!
We have been at WDW the last wk and I'm exhausted.
Hoping to get my second wind tommorrow:)

what time is everyone getting to the port?

Let's hope for a smooth sailaway :)

[Princess April]

We had the BEST time on the cruise. I'm guessing everyone got their FE gifts and note that we upgraded at the port for a port hole room..... which was great because DD really LOVED :lovestruc the port hole. We were at table #7 (Lito and Bruno) were our servers (late dinner) and we just really had a great time. In fact we've already book 2 more cruises....! March 2011 (4 night Bahama) and July 2011 Alaska!!!!!:dance3:

Thank you all soooooo much for the lovely gifts in the FE!!! We had a blast :rotfl:

[jaurban]

We have returned! Thanks to all for the lovely FE gifts. My DDs were very excited to see what we would get. (Especially, thanks for the baby appropriate gifts for my little one!) Hope everyone enjoyed the cruise. We were the early dining, table 30 - with Marlon and Steven as our servers. We do have two more cruises coming up. a 7 night this November that we got for purchasing DVC last year, and a 5 night on the new Dream next June!

Thanks again!
