Hi did u find out how to participate?? Would love to join in.

Hi newbie Welcome our Disney Fantasy--April 23, 2016-- Eastern Caribbean group! Disboards admins do not let us talk about other social media groups so all I can say is that I do not believe that the FE is going to happen in this board. I haven't gotten any responses that people are still interested.

Does anyone know if this thread is still open for taking FE folks? If doesn't look like it's been checked for awhile unless I'm missing something... Thx!

It appears that there's no Fish Extender group here on DISboards. There may be FE groups on other sites, but they are not DISboards connected.

Thanks Princess Shmoo

It appears grad201182 hasn't been on this forum for almost a year so, Princess Shmoo, I personally believe you're right that no one is currently handling the FE that grad201182 started last March for this April Fantasy Tortola cruise. Never having seen how a FE works (my first time), I really hesitate to try and handle the organization of it. In hopes to keep this FE going, if anyone else is able and willing to pick up where grad201182 left off, that would be great. It looks like there are a number of fun folks already interested. If anyone has found a different FE for this group, please let me know because I'm having no luck whatsoever. I realize that on this site, other sites cannot be mentioned tho which put a bit of a challenge in things. Thanks all!!

I just wanted to see if anyone on this board is still interested in the FE via the Disboards. I have located the other group but am willing to organize the disboard group if needed. I would hate for anyone to be left out.

Tinafish, Hi! We are very interested in joining the April Fantasy Tortola FE group, but can't find one. Please let me know where we can. Thank you!!

This could help:

SETTING UP A FE GROUP
It appears there are a number of you who are interested in a Fish Extender group. There isn’t one currently set up here on DISBoards. Here’s a little write up on how FE groups are set up:

There really are no “rules” as to how a FE program runs. Basically someone maintains the list of those who wish to participate. The group can decide on what information is necessary to produce FE gifts. A basic list may only have DISname/room number/number of people in the room. A more involved list could be first & last names/ages/room number/ favorite character/ favorite color/allergies/whatever is deemed necessary to know in order to create the gifts. Also a decision can be made as to size of FE group. Some groups break out the list(s) at 10-15 rooms max, so that there are multiple lists (and some people will participate in more than one list). Other groups just make one big list (upwards of 20-30 rooms).

The easiest, most private way to handle the information necessary to prepare the list (many people prefer not to put sensitive information on a public forum), is to use the “Conversation” feature here. There needs to be at least two people to start a conversation. Only the starter of the conversation (usually the organizer) can add additional people into the conversation (as long as they do NOT select “Allow anyone in the conversation to invite others” at the bottom of the reply window). Then when new people express a desire to join, usually by just saying “we want to join the FE”, the organizer can add them by clicking on the “Invite more” button in the “Conversation Participants” window (lower right of conversation page). Only those people participating in the conversation can see what’s posted there, and respond there. I will also note, to participate in conversations, everyone needs to have at least 10 posts. For those who wish to use this option for private conversations that don’t have 10 posts yet, head over to the Test Board to post and up your post count. http://www.disboards.com/forums/test-board.88/

Up to 20 people can participate in any given conversation.

At some point the list will “close”. Typically this happens 30-45 days out from the cruise, so that everyone participating has time to organize/prepare their gifts. Shortly before this time (about 2-3 weeks prior) the organizer will post the list, either directly on the Cruise Meet thread, OR via private conversation, or, possibility, via e-mails. This is to confirm everyone on the list is still participating. It’s important to make a statement about “anyone not confirming by XX date will be dropped” at this time. A little harsh, yes, but often there are people who will post on the cruise meet thread as soon as they reserve the cruise and say “I want to participate”, and are never heard from again.

Once the list closes, the organizer will post the final list. Also, a decision must be made as to whether to allow late additions. Sometimes there is a “pixie dust” list. That is, basically, a latecomers list that gets posted about a week out from the cruise that others may or may not add to their “final” list. Be sure the “pixie dust” list participants realize they may or may not get gifts from others, but are expected to provide gifts for the other FE participants anyway.

The other “biggie” is no other social media sites are allowed to be linked or search directions posted as to how to find that other site here on DISboards. Please read this: http://www.disboards.com/threads/im...uise-meet-and-fish-extender-programs.3353477/

As it seems there are a few here on your cruise meet thread who would be interested in doing this, who’s going to step up and volunteer to maintain the list?

There's no reason a "first timer" couldn't organize it.

hi, I haven't been on this page in ages... kinda living on the other place's page... you know, the one we can't mention . Getting very excited... only a couple of months until we sail!

 

[Billinaz]

Can somebody on this sailing do me a favor? We are on an August cruise and I have convinced my wife we are sailing on the Carnival Magic. I am getting her a carnival t-shirt to wear as we head to the port. I want to have a DCL short ready because I am sure she will want to change when we board the fantasy. I will paypal you the money for a shirt if you would pick one up for me.

Let me know if you can do this and I will work out the details.....

my email is wcwill@cox.net

THANKS
