Our family will be on the Dream for this cruise as well. I see lots of interest in the FE but I haven't seen any recent comments from the person that started this thread. Has anyone received a message? Is anyone else interested in getting this FE together? While I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about all pertaining to WDW, and having cruised with DCL before, I however have not participated in a FE before. I would like to participate on this cruise but my count of those interested in previous posts seemed to be (not including my family) around 30+ adults and 23+ children. Roughly 21+ rooms. Is this a high number?
My husband and I will be sailing on the Dream for the 2nd time (also had one cruise on RC). We made this exact trip at the same time last year SOLO!!! It was WONDERFUL!!! Decided to bring the whole family this time and to celebrate our oldest daughter graduating from college!!! And this will be the first cruise for everyone else!

My understanding of Fish Extenders is that you put any little treats (purchased or crafts made yourself) you want in the bags hanging from the note holder (a fish) outside of each cabin. It could be a one time treat or a daily treat. You would need to know the cabins each participating member is in, as well as appr. ages of those traveling, to do a treat accordingly. For example, you may not want to leave eye patches and tattoos for an all adult party (although no one in our group would mind getting them). I have read about others getting magnets (for cabin doors), little scrapbooks, foods specific to their hometowns, essentials they might need but not thought to bring (first aid, note pads, etc...), or bubbles, stickers, and the like for little ones. There is no specific dollar amount and I have read where some have gone over the top for their treat (embroidered bags or pillowcases, mesh totes for beach day, special magnets from college alma maters, etc...). I would think as we are so close to cruise time a cabin treat would be best!! The only part I am not sure of is how the exchange of information is made (cabin numbers, etc...) and if a meet & greet is always part of this exchange (and how that is set up).

Thanks for the added info, but now I'm even MORE confused. lol.
If this thread is dead, is there another thread that I am not aware of? I guess it may be too late to participate anyway, but still making an effort.
I am game if both (ashleysm23 & Steven888) of you are!!!!! Not a lot of time but I am always up for a little extra Disney Magic!!!
I can PM some of the earlier folks to see if any are still interested.
Do both of you have your stateroom/cabin numbers?
We could possibly do cabin gifts and each take a night, yes??
Our family will have two cabins.
And my daughter and husband are planning to do the 5k and are trying to strong arm me into walking it. I keep telling them it's a VAY-CAY-SHUN and that sounds like WORK!
I can give you some ideas/examples if you would like! Even a box or two of movie theater treats (Junior Mints, Gummy Bears, Dots, Twizzlers, Goobers, etc..) to take to movie night or one of the shows would be a SUPER find in the FE!!!!!
We be joining on our first ever cruise! So excited!
