Going to try and post a graphic I was playing with. I've never posted a pic before, so I hope it works.

I'm CaptJackFan's DH. We are all EXTREMLY excited 
about our third DCL cruise, and having DMIL & DFIL with us for their 1st every cruise! The boys are looking forward to "Cruising with Grandma & Grandpap"! 
So here is the scoop on the Fish Extender groups (I love this idea of*fish*extenders) ..... Next to your cabin door is a*fish*that the crew uses to leave communications. A Fish Extender is a bag of some sort hung on the*fish (google fish extender and check out some of the neat designs folks have come up with). People who have agreed to participate (they sign up from this meet) leave little gifts to each other (in the extender) throughout the cruise. The gifts are small, and can be whatever you wish... often homemade or from the region where you live.
To accomplish this fun ...one person volunteers to head up the*fish*gift exchange (basically collect the names of all the persons interested in this exchange and write down their room numbers and any ages of children) This person is responsible for getting the info to everyone who is participating... either through a cruise ship meetup or through PMs on this site.
Once you have the list you go around and put little gift into everyone*fish*extender.*The group will decide on the particulars (1 day vs multiple days...themes... etc). For example in one gift bag they put a lolipop in it that NYC printed on it and a pencils. If you look on the Dis boards reports or do a search for*fish*extenders you can see some of the gifts and extenders that are pictured on their reports. This is not something you have to do but seems to be really fun.
I would be willing to be the organizer that collect names and info
-Stephanie AKA Suger Mag
for organizing the FE list. They are a BLAST 
to do. We have done them on both of our previous cruises, and Wendy & I look forward to seeing what's in there everyday (probably more than the boys! 
)
We have seen everything from suckers/pixie stix ... to VERY creative personalized magnets! 
Thank you. I really should read this thread. We have been there twice and only lounged by the water. Would love to try the bike ride, would like to sit by the adult beach areas this time (no kids) and would love someday to rent the cabana.
There are a few of us who want to go parasailing. I wonder if it's one at a time. Perhaps we will run into each other here too.
They are VERY difficult to get though. We got lucky. Pretty much have to be a platinum or concigere cruiser.

We had a cabana on our Eastern Caribbean cruise last month! It was FANTASTIC!!!
Parasailing has always interested me. May try it out this time. Weather was too bad in December. All excurions were cancelled on Castawat Cay due to high winds/rain.
A great big THANK YOU
It's NOT just for the kids!
so far I have squirreled away:
Awww, thanks... I confess, I have never done one, but found out about them when I had booked this cruise and was doing DISresearch... I so wanted to do one I figured the best way to make sure a FE happened for this cruise... was to offer to organize it
Do you mean cafepress? http://www.cafepress.com/
Besides oodles of their own art... they do custom stuff too. I used cafepress to find the pirate shirts for my family's surprise Bon Voyage bags I am putting together filled with cool cruise goodies I have been quietly collecting since I booked
sunglasses, flipflops, custom tervis cups, pirate t's, some Disney bling ...
my kids will be 18 (DS) and 12 (DD) when we cruise, so it requires a bit more creative thought now to make them both squeal like they did when younger and stuffies and sand toys would do the trick. I Can't wait... especially for my own goody bag... not a surprise, but Momma will be good to herself
I was joking with my son over Christmas that the present pile was so much more impressive when they were both little... then the average present cost $12.99 and came in a huge box ... now the average present costs $129.99 and comes in a little box...
Sweet, nice to see all the fun posts.
someone sent me the link all filled out. Not too computer literate here 
Many on the cruise bought it. Just an idea.
