LindaBabe & dh Bruce - we've been signed up since last Christmas, but just had time to wander over here. This will be our 22nd cruise. . . 23rd? I forget, and 2rd one this year. (#3 is b2b with this one)
Anyway, since most everyone seems to be fairly new to Disney cruising, if you want me to do so, I am willing to maintain the FE list. May I suggest that anyone wishing to sign up read the "fish extender basics" at the link posted above. Most FE participants give one gift per stateroom. Some, however, give one per person, and sometimes, the overachievers in the group will personalize for a specific person.
If it's your first time, I suggest keeping it simple - the same gift for each stateroom. Then you don't need to label them with an address, you can just grab one and stick it in the FE.
What to give?? The FE links have some good suggestions (search FE gifts there are several threads of posts). My recommendation is always small, flat, light, inexpensive, useful or consumable. (People have to be able to pack them to take home) The most practical FE gift I ever received was a cardboard drink tray that folded flat. It fit every one of my criteria and was ever so helpful for trips to the drinks station and Goofy's gallery.
If all y'all decide you want me to maintain the list, shoot me a pm with FE in the subject line, and including your name (real and stage), stateroom number, first names and ages of kids, and any FOOD ALLERGIEs to something you might get in your fe. (My banana allergy probably isn't relevant in this case, but it sure is in the diningroom)
Speaking of Allergies - be sure if anyone in your party has one - fill out the medical form!!! First night, your head waiter will come and talk to you. Your serving team is responsible for keeping you safe!
See you in a week or so.
