[Down-the-rabbit-hole]

Hello

Apologies I haven't been on here for a while, life has been very hectic recently! But yes we'd still like to join in F.E. We've never done it before though, in fact we've never been a cruise so we're complete novices to the whole thing!

Thanks for the link - I have read your trip report and loved it! I so wanted to do the Iceland cruise - can't wait to read your trip report on that one! Took me 3 years to get to do Norway so maybe some day I can do Iceland! Always nice to have something to look forward too!!

To All
I was going to do a Private Message - but several people do not have 10 post so they can't receive Private Messages. I am trying to confirm all who want to do the DIS Fish Extender. Please respond in the thread or Private Message to WDWEPCOT or LELALITTLELEGS. We are confirming all and will post an update once we are done. We are on the DIS constantly so you can contact us anytime - We cover the US and London. We hope to have this done asap and have the form ready to go and info out to you all. We will have sign up posted in the first page so it will be easy to find. So looking forward to this cruise!

I have the following DIS people as signed up for the DIS Fish Extender - Please respond and let Team Norway FE know if Yes / No are you still doing the DIS Fish Extender? We are trying to make sure we have a clear cut listing - there has been some confusion. We are here to clear this up and move this forward. We ARE NOT blaming anyone or anything - just moving things along - we are on the DIS constantly and don't mind doing this. So please let us know.

So sorry I'm just responding... haven't been on lately! I didn't realize there were 2 FE's going on and I'm on the external site FE and participating in 2 groups on that one. IF this list isn't too large, i would like to participate but won't be able to if it's too big as I'm also doing the FE on the EBTA cruise as well. When is the cut-off date on this so I can decide then?

Merry Christmas everyone (better late than never I suppose....)

I was wondering if I could pick the brains of the more experienced disney cruisers.... I am putting together my fish extender for the cruise and was wondering how long the loop needs to be on the top to fit over the fish? I can find a number of posts with suggested sizes for the extender itself but can't find the dimensions of the actual fish?

Any help/pointers very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Frances

The fish is about 6" across and has two metal connectors holding it to the wall, with about an inch of space between the wall and the fish itself.

Best way is to have a ribbon (or string, whatever) that's attached on both ends of the FE hanger and then tie it on the fish. But, if you you need an exact loop size, the one we had on this FE was 30" (continuous loop running through top of FE, with 22" visible and 8" inside FE top).

Hello,

That is really helpful, thank you! I was worried that I'd bring our fish extender along and wouldn't be able to hang it up as I had mis-calculated. Now I just have to put it all together!

Best wishes

Frances
