Fish Extender Exchange List

So here is the info on theFISH EXTENDER EXCHANGE

If you are not sure what a Fish Extender Exchange is here is a brief outline
http://www.disboards.com/showpost.ph...81&postcount=2


1.Let me know on this thread or by PM if your group wants to join us
2.Some participants might want to personalize gifts for each group or each family so include your family name, your kids names and ages and your names, either on this thread or to me by PM
3. If we get more than 20 cabins participating I will split the cabins into 2 groups, we want this to be fun not a burden.
4. I suggest one gift per stateroom as the norm, doing something for each person is lovely but not expected, again let's not make it a burden (and think of luggage space)
5. If we split into 2 groups I will split up the cabins by area on the ship so there will be less travelling (possibly forward and aft)
6. Each cabin will be assigned a day to deliver, if you can't make it on that day it is fine, it might even out the fun a bit.
7. You can let me know by PM what you are planning to give if you think it may be repeated by someone else, not mandatory but a good idea.
8. June 1 2012 we will close the FE, any groups wanting to join after that date will be put together to come up with their own group.
9. I will keep a running list of participants on the front page of this thread under the list of cruisers, after June 1 a final list including groups will be made and sent out, along with delivery date.
10. If you think of anything else please lets talk about it

[IrishCowboy]

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list...

 

[JKSWonder]

We are! Jane, DH Mike, DD (11 at sail time) and DS (6 at sail time).

We have an upcoming cruise on the Magic, leaving this Saturday! Our cruise meet thread for that cruise is phenomenal, filled with great people. I'm looking forward to meeting more great people here!

 

[bigbootee]

We are. Myself, DW and DD 9 (now) and DS 9 (now.)

 

[i12go2wdw]

Hi Guys!!
I am so happy to have some other people to get excited with, my family gets tired of me very quickly

I am Christine, my husband is Dan and we have 4 kids, Jordan(18) Rebecca (15) Mitchell (12) and Nicole-Renee (8). We are travelling with 2 other families with 3 more kids in total.

Sounds like some of our kids will be close in age, hopefully they will want to get to know each other before the cruise too.

I run an at home daycare and this is the blessed nap time

What do you guys do?

I'm an attorney, my husband is police officer.

My DD is 9 now, so it looks like our daughters are close in age.

My family gets tired of me talking about DCL too!

 

[i12go2wdw]

JKSWonder,
Have a wonderful trip, when you get back you will have to tell us all about it, and any good tips for our cruise.
Bon Voyage!!

 

[Kaizen]

Can't believe we are already getting started this far out! It's awesome!! This will be our second cruise. We were on the Wonder this summer celebrating my DD's 10th birthday. Had a phenomenal time!

I am Susanne, an occupational therapist, my husband, Jim, is a design engineer and our daughter Alexa is one great kid. We are also foster parents so who knows if we will have another child with us or not at the time of the cruise. Right now we are "between kids" so it's just the three of us.

I am excited to get to know everyone over the next 20 months!

 

[Kaizen]

We are headed to Toronto this weekend to visit our tablemates from our July cruise. It still amazes me that we can make lifelong friends in such a short time!!

We are having fun putting together our "Made in Michigan" package to bring to them. You forget what is local til you actual look. Alexa wants to stay and Trick or Treat there. She is convinced that Canadians have different candy than we do. I dread the almost 4 hr drive home afterward. We are going to be one tired family come Monday morning if we stay.

Hope everyone enjoys their Halloween weekend!

 

[i12go2wdw]

That sounds like a lot of fun going up to Toronto. Please tell Alexa that she is right, we Canadians do have different chocolate, our Smarties are candy covered chocolate like M&Ms but way better!!! Get her to try a Wunderbar too, freeze it for an even better treat!!
We have kept in touch with our table mates from our cruise in 2003, we have cruised with them again when we went through the Panama Canal and they came and visited us a few years ago, they are thinking of coming on this cruise in 2012 also. Funny thing is they are not people that we would have been drawn to, we were a family of 6 with young kids and they were older with grown kids travelling with adult family. We were put at the same table when the family we were supposed to cruise and eat with had to cancel at the last minute. Life long friends were the result (but you should have seen their faces when we first sat at their table!!)
Have a fun weekend, what is Alexa dressing up as?

 

[Kaizen]

Now Alexa is completely enthralled with the idea of "Canadian candy"!! She is going to be a cowgirl. Funny, last Halloween we went to Texas and there it's not really a costume She has had to wait 2 years for this one!

It got so cold here in the last 24 hrs! Feels like snow is around the corner. Yuck!! Can't wait til Thanksgiving. We are going down to Florida to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. Looking forward to warmth and sunshine!

 

[Mojodisney]

We are onboard also with a few friends from our August 2009 cruise. Me 41 DH 45 and DD8. DH said we can't cruise DCL every year but only for special occasions, so we will celebrate DD's 10th birthday.
Susanne, where in Michigan do you live? DH is from Midland.
Have a great time in Toronto.

 

[HallsofVA]

We're booked on this cruise at the moment, but not sure if we'll actually do this one or another one. Just wanted to check in, in case it sticks.

 

[LuvsBlueDiamonds]

Bring it on (all the booze and lugguage you can carry)! I'm here!

Me, DH and DD who will be 10.

CFF (cruise friends forever) with Mojo and many others. Celebrating the girls 10th birthdays!

Like I need an occasion to cruise or celebrate! LOL

 

[Pudo]

We are! Jane, DH Mike, DD (11 at sail time) and DS (6 at sail time).

We have an upcoming cruise on the Magic, leaving this Saturday! Our cruise meet thread for that cruise is phenomenal, filled with great people. I'm looking forward to meeting more great people here!

Hey Jane,

We are in too. Talked to Beth (TinkerbellTwins) at dinner a couple nights back and she booked this cruise too. Shari (ThreeIsCrazy) also booked this cruise so it looks like we have a nice reunion cruise going from the recently past (today) 10/30/10 Halloween cruise.

I'm in the same "boat" as you....been lurking but I'm not sure we'll stay on this one....Just wanted to confirm this thread is for the Fantasy, since the title doesn't specify....

Jeff

Yay! This is awesome news. Our October 30th cruise is a tough act to follow, but if a bunch of us are together on this one, that can only mean good things!

 

[Pudo]

Yay! This is awesome news. Our October 30th cruise is a tough act to follow, but if a bunch of us are together on this one, that can only mean good things!

Agreed! We need to tell everyone on the Magic Halloween cruise about this one, I am sure we can get more on-board.

 

[i12go2wdw]

Our numbers are growing, should I start a list of all of us on the first post so we can keep track?
I was sent this link to pictures of the Dream so we can look and see what the new ships will be like http://www.depping-design.de/test/thumbnails.php?album=145
This is the Dream, it looks so big!!! I love the pictures of the slide, the kids are going to love that.
It sounds like a lot of you guys have already sailed together, which cruise did you take? Did you do any special Dis meets or activities together?

 

[tinkerbelltwins]

Write our names down for this cruise! Beth, DH Steve, DD Skye and DD Hope. The twins will be eight at cruise time. We just got off of the Halloween Magic with Pudo, JKSWonder and threeiscrazy! We had so much fun and can't wait to go again!
