I am coming forward: I'd like to coordinate the FE Exchange for our cruise!
For basic info and definitions, please see: http://www.disboards.com/threads/fish-extenders-101-can-someone-educate-me.2259129/#post-33184281
On my first cruise, the gifts were very simple representations of where you are from, but it is up to each person/cabin to decide what you want to gift and whether or not you want to include any name or contact information on your gift. (It can be nice to compliment someone, or ask where you can find more of something, but anonymous pixie dust is just as magical.)
Because not everyone cruises the same way, I will have four lists:
The first three lists will "close" two months before we sail, Wednesday, August 10, 2016. I will send each participant a copy of their group list by the end of that weekend.
- Kids Only (17 and younger) -- gifts from kids to kids;
- Adults Only (18 and older) -- gifts from adults to adults;
- All Ages -- gifts from cabin to cabin, regardless of age;
- Last Minute Pixie Dust -- for people who sign up after the initial deadline has passed (and open to anyone who is willing/able to come up with last-minute gifts to include these folks)
The fourth list will close Friday, September 16, 2016 (leaving four full weekends/three weeks before sailing), and I will send each participant a copy of the group list that evening.
I will post an updated participant count for each list every month. This will be just a general count; you are not "committed" until deadline day!
And the rules will be very basic:
If you are interested in participating, please send me a Private Message that includes:
- Whichever FE list you join, you will be expected to gift each and every cabin on your list;
- Gifts can be a single item "cabin" to "cabin" or to each individual (if by individual, please do not leave anyone out!)
- Respect food allergies (who wants to spend their vacation in a hospital?)
- Have fun!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
- DIS Screen Name
- Cabin Number (as soon as you have it, but not required until deadline)
- Which FE group/list you want to join
- Number of adults in your cabin, including first name, gender and age (surnames optional!)
- Number of children in your cabin (if applicable), including first name, gender and age
- Special celebration
- Food allergies
- Any other information that would be helpful to a gift-giver, such as Special Needs or Favorite Characters

In order to do private conversations you must have 10 posts. I'd suggest heading over to the Test Board to up your post count: http://www.disboards.com/forums/test-board.88/Hi Ali,

It all depends on how many sign up for the exchange!Ok so I'm a little confused, are there more than one person doing FE?
Our first cruise was a Disney cruise, my husband now says he cant imagine going on any other cruise. I can say its not too over the top disney, You see characters around but not too much. There is alot of adult stuff to do. They have an Adult only pool area and plus the night life is awesome!! We have just booked our 3rd Disney cruise and know there is more to come we loved it that muchI have cruised before but never on Disney. My husband is afraid that he won't like it. He thinks there is nothing to do for adults. Please help me out. What can I tell him?
Typically, whatever the size of the FE list (be it 10 rooms, 20 rooms, or more), when you join a FE group, you agree to provide at least one gift per room on the list one time during the cruise.Ok so I'm a little confused, are there more than one person doing FE?
The previous organizer had to cancel her cruise and I am now organizing an FE. If you wish to join in the fun, please PM me with the following information:
Your name
Cabin Number
Number of adults
Number of children (if any) Please include gender and age of children
Please let us know if there any allergies. Safety First!
Also, feel free to join our other group on the other site which is located at the PLACE THAT WE SHALL NOT NAME
Super stoked!
To start a private conversation (what PMs are here) you click on the person's avatar that you want to converse with and then click on the "Start a conversation" link in the next window.Hi! I'm not sure what exactly I'm doing so bear with me. How do I PM? I would like to do FE but don't really know much...any help is appreciated. Thanks!
