Hello! Could someone please tell me the ideal length of the ribbon or string from which the extender hangs? Thank you!

Help I leave in less than 2 weeks and NO FISH EXTENDER ( i must move fast here

) anyway I have been looking at all of these beautiful fish extenders and I have a couple of questions....

1. where can I buy disney embroidered charaters to put onto my fish extender do they sell them at local stores?

2. How can I put our names on it so it looks ummm some what professionally made???

The fastest way to do both would be to download some Disney clipart of your favourite character into a Word document and type in a Name in a fancy font and print it off on t-shirt transfer paper. You could then just iron it right on to your fabric pockets. Hey, when you only have 2 weeks left, you gotta get creative!!

If you need help, just PM me.

Happy cruisin'!!

I purchased a basic small Mickey FE off ebay (shipped from china), and I am worried the string is not long enough to easily go over the Fish and hang down a bit. What is the suggested length of string to attach to the FE dowel rod?

I dont know but could you take extra string or length of ribbon along?
Or perhaps a plastic zip tie?

Make it 20+ inches or so, and wrap it around the fish (don't have to worry about it being too long) and secure with a zip-tie.

I also ordered one that was from China. Is this like yours? If so, it is long enough, but kinda fits "snuggly" over the FE. If you want it to hang down a good bit more, I'd add extra string. But it will be fine for the purpose served.

i've got the same one in yellow!! have you cruised yet? was it ok as a FE? when it got delivered, i was a bit worried that its a bit small.

I just got home Saturday from the Disney Magic and I had that same one in Yellow! It fit perfectly and worked out great!

Good luck!

Yes, we cruised last month and the FE fit just fine.

So is the zip tie needed to keep it from being "moved"?

Yes, you never know

I have not had any problems with magnets or FE going missing myself.

No sewing, all hot glue gun, lime green fabric with winnie the pooh etc was chopped up from what I originally thought was a tablecloth, but turned out to be a children's small window curtain

Very nice, I thought about doing the no sew FE but I chickened out and purchased online.
