Welcome to the cruise meet.
We did the Fish Extender Exchange (FE or FEE) on our last 2 cruises and had great fun giving and getting gifts. There are tons of threads on the subject on this site, just give a search. In a nutshell, you exchange gifts with others in your assigned group. Some opt to give a gift to each person in each cabin, some just give one gift per cabin and some do both. You do what you can afford and feel comfortable with. The gifts are left in 'fish extenders', which are like a mail pouch that is hung from the 'fish' outside each cabin door. Disney uses these knobs (Fish on Port side, Seahorse on Starboard side and Starfish on Concierge) to deliver ship to cabin correspondence. The fish extender hangs on these knobs and has one or several pouches where others can deliver their gifts. Here is an example of what we use, on my wall and on our cabin. You can see some examples of FE gifts on our door. Bottlecap magnets, Mickey head magnets, name magnets, door hangers, White boards and magnetic grip marker. I made the whiteboard, door hangers and most of the magnets on our door. - continued after these pictures
Anyway - if you would like to do this, we will group you with
(approx.) 14 other cabins. Each group has
(approx.) 15 cabins, and you are filling out our 4th
(5th) group. We will start on a 5th group next.
Since you are new, I know you cannot private message until you have 15 posts, and I'm not sure if you can E-mail me or not. By hovering over my username, a drop down should come up with the option to E-mail me. I will use the same method to E-mail you my personal Email. If you want to be in the FE, we need some more info that you may not want to post on this public site.
(Just e-mail me at fsu88@bex.net)
Last name - as some may want to personalize gifts. Optional
Cabin number - for delivery of course. If not assigned, just let me know and just update once it is assigned.
Hometown. Just a neat way to see if others on the cruise are near you. In past cruises we had some so close they met before the cruise just to say hi.
Special requests. Let us know of any food allergies or maybe a favorite character.
Interest in private Mixology class. With enough participants, Disney will host a mixology class just for members of our group. On our last cruise the women did this while some of the men just met by the pool bar for a cold beer or 2(actually more than 2)
Castaway 5K - If you plan to run or walk this, you can let us know. Last cruise we had 2 groups go together, one running and one walking. Nice to stay with the group if you are not a serious runner
Once you are added to the FE, I will send you a copy of the spreadsheet with all the other participants.
Feel free to ask me any other questions and I will answer the best I can.
Cheers
Jeff
