This is our first Disney Cruise too but from reading blogs, forums etc, this is what I gather...Your room will hang a "fish extender" outside your door on the fish hook. For images, google "fish extender". These can be handmade or as simple as a bag. One time during the cruise, you will leave gifts in the pockets for all the people. The gifts can be anything from candy, trinkets, magnets, etc. Again, just google "fish extender gifts" and you'll see some ideas.

For our party, this is what we have:
Cabin 7184: Our mother and father celebrating their 50th Anniversary
Cabin 7194: Mom (47), Dad (49), Son (18), Son (23), Son's Fiance (23)
Cabin 7188: Mom (43), Dad (43), Son (12), Son (12), Son (7), Son (6)

dgreen72...what is your cabin # and is the 18 year old friend a female or male?

IrizarryandIsrel...are the 3 & 5 year olds girls or boys? and what about the adults? Also, what are your cabin #'s?

We are so excited about this...can't wait!!!!

***Look on Etsy.com for the FE...especially Stitches & Bows! :goodvibes She is incrediable and FAST! She worked with me and made exactly what I wanted. Wish I could post a pic!

As far as our list, the last group I was a part of, someone made an excel spreadsheet and it was passed out. I never got a copy, but I can try. Does everyone want to add first names in the event of making personlized items? We are thinking of doing that.

Here are ours:

Cabin Numbers: 9594 & 9592

DSon - 11yrs, Lucas
DDaughter - 14yrs, Lauren
DFriend (female) - 16yrs, Kaylee
DSon - 16yrs, Jacob
DSon - 18yrs, Justin
DFriend (male) - 18yrs, Daniel
Mom, Dawn
Dad, Todd

Hello! Any chance of joining this FE?

 

[IrizarryandIsrel]

Hello. I apologize, but unfortunately we are unable to partake in this fish extender group. So sorry. Hope you all have a great time on the cruise.

Hello. I apologize, but unfortunately we are unable to partake in this fish extender group. So sorry. Hope you all have a great time on the cruise.

Sorry to hear that! Are you still going on the cruise? If you cannot partake because it's overwhelming and you think it's too much to do...it's only as much as you want to do. I have learned that some people have a lot of time and resources to make a really big deal out of these. Others, like myself, just do a simple something to make it special. The kids really just look forward to seeing something arrive. And too, honestly, we found that most of the deliveries were for the kids...so if you just prepare for the kids, you take a lot more stress off of yourself! I can give you some ideas if you want.

As far as the FE itself, we can just deliver the items in paper bags to your stateroom so you do not have to make one or order one...or you can make one from a shoe organizer, easy-peasy. Just a small cheapie one from Walmart.

The thing is to keep it simple so it stays fun! Just let me know...I'd hate to see you pull out when you were so excited...

Here is the list that I had gotten together before your message:

Sounds good to me...cutoff is today - July 1. See you all in a few weeks!

 

[AMFran78]

Can you believe we only have a little over 2 weeks?!? Anyone else stressing over everything that needs to be done? I am still trying to come up with fish extender gifts. Any ideas or suggestions from past cruisers would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at Pinterest, but nothing has hit me yet. Also, my son is only 7. I know the rules say no shorts in the dinning rooms, but would it be ok for him to wear dress shorts? He has had a growth spurt and outgrown all of his pants! I hate to buy more and he only get to wear them once! Thanks in advance for any help and input!
