[Eeyores#1Fan]

FE Gifts are done! I made 60 so I should have enough for everyone on the list (including the two late entries) as well as a few more.

Now on to printing door signs!

My sister made us some pennants for the door. She is sooo excited to be going. So is my nephew.

I need to make a door sign but I don't know when I will find the time!

I am going to leave work soon and head to MK! We are doing the Castle Suite Tour tonight!!

Hmmm - Maybe after the cruise, you can meet and do things like that together!

 

[Eeyores#1Fan]

Has any heard if they are going to do any more Castle Tours?

That might be a fabulous idea. It will be even better if the transfer is still a go and we move to Orlando in January or Feb.

I am trying to think of what kinda gifts to get for the FE swap. I need to get a move on. I know that I am on the short list of not so early folks, but I still plan to bring something on board as well.... Yeah I am excited about this... So should I guess I should definately plan on getting a FE cause I don't have one now? Am I better to make one or buy one???

We bought one off eBay from a Diser who does fantastic work. I don't know if she could do a custom one in 3 weeks, but she also had some for sale already made. However, if you sew at all, they are not difficult. We bought because of time. I don't have time for anything extra and really didn't have it back when we bought it.

My, you guys have been busy over the past 2 days. I had 6 pages of post to read.

Well i have started the pre-vacation house cleaning. Ihate coming home to a dirty house after vacation. I also need to go through my tolietries to make sure I have everything for us and then for Matt afterwards.

Still need to shop for the Fe gifts. plan to do that tommorrow.

Yeah I saw a few on ebay... I may have to go that route since time has been in short supply for me as well. I wish I was creative enough to make one myself, but I am afraid I would buy all the stuff and then try to make it and then it would just be a total waste of money when I ruined it.... Then I would just end up buying one anyway..... LOL

My mom's friend is going to make us some since I did buy some stuff but I'm not crafty and my sister has been working weekends. If that doesn't pan out I guess I'll be paying overnight shipping for one off of ebay or snagging a bag of some sort from the Disney store. I'm sooo pitiful when it comes to this part. I can buy the gifts, plan activities but suck at creativity.

Last year I had a plastic box that halloween decorations came in and put disney stickers on it. I have no creative ability.

FE = Fish Extender. Multi-pocket holder that you put over your message fish so your DIS friends doing the fish extender exchange can leave you little gifts.

Were you able to take any pictures Cheryl?

Fish Extenders. Apparently on the Disney ships, the clip outside your cabin (for messages) is fish-shaped, so people make these things that are similar to hanging shoe bags to suspend from the fish and "extend" it. Groups of people coordinate to leave gifts for one another in their fish extenders.

Here is ours from last years Member Cruise and you can see the fish at the very top.

Here is a link for a hanger thingy that may work for a FE. It is at the disneystore.com
