Nope.. I started ordering supplies for mine already and am excited to start them.. Ok, maybe we are a little crazy..

I have never participated in a FE Exchange before and I'm excited! And I know if I leave it to do last minute, it will never get done (I had to back out of a FE Exchange in 2010 ). So...I'm starting the cabin gifts now! (I will do one per cabin and also things for the kids...I think. )

I am not a very crafty person...at all! Of course, I am ordering my actual Fish Extender!!! But I am making the cabin gift because it's something that I can actually do! I'm looking forward to making them!!!

lol I haven;t started doing anything for my FE...reason is I am deciding on what to do for my Oct FE group...I have some ideas but I want to wait till later in the year to see how many people will actually be on the FE list (for our cruise)...

and I don't know if I said this here..but I might make a new FE for this Cruise...I think I'm just going to re-use my last FE for my oct cruise.

I ordered my Fish Extender from Gradysmom on Ebay.. She did an amazing job..You and especially your kids are going to LOVE coming back to the room and finding gifts in your FE. My April Dream cruise had only 13 cabins however there were so many things in our FE all the time.

I've seen hers on eBay and really like them! I'll be ordering soon. I want to be able to use on every cruise, so I need to decide upon layout and colors. Decisions, decisions!!!

I can't wait, I'm sure my kids are going to LOVE the exchange!!!

You have some time yet. I just know, if I don't start soon, I'll leave it to last minute and panic!!!!

@ SJMJ FE's for everyone...

some folks buy something separate for the kiddies...Like I know if there are kids I'll get them a little more than what their parents will get ...but thats me.

I am new to this. We are on this cruise. Dh and I and 2 oldest dds have sailed DCL twice before. This trip will also include my parents and our twin 5 yos. Our 5yo daughter has cerebral palsey so it may be very interesting. I would also like to know how to get involved with the fish extender trade??

 

[momof2minnies]

329 days woohoo! Trying to book our flights but can't until 331 day mark for Delta, that is crazy.Trying to wait is so hard.We can book outbound but not return yet.


Price not so bad so far.

Welcome to all the new people.. We need to update the FE list as it is outdated.. I can start one and keep it updated if you want...(I have a lot of time on my hands.) With that said, Supplies for my girls/womens FE gifts are coming in daily....(You are going to love them.) I am such a pre planner so I will be happy to have the shopping part of them done..

 

[herdadditions]

Please put us on the FE list. We have 3 rooms total. DH, DS 6, DD 6, Me, DD 13, DD 11, Grandma and Grandpa. I will do FEs on all 3 doors. How do I get an idea of how many to prep for? Do you ever do family gifts, or all individual?

I think my kiddos are going to love this!!

A new FE list would be great! Thank you so much for volunteering to keep it up to date.

Hi Everyone, I booked this cruise while on the Panama Canal Cruise. My Sister, her husband and daughter are also going. I'll be checking in often to see what is going on. If we are doing FE's count my niece in, we had over 100 rooms on the PC cruise particapate.
This will be my 15th cruise, 8th on Disney.

Hey Mike, how old is niece? and is it you and ? ...thanks!

Ok FE/SE is updated...I put in alphabetical order for now...once we get closer..I'll group the names according to Decks. and I'll let everyone know how many toddlers/kids/tweens/teens/young adults/adults are in the group.


OAN:
We were in WDW for 3 days and had a blast. It rained on us in Epcot but I don't mind being there when its raining. We had our mickey mouse & minnie mouse ponchos on and we were were ready. We got to meet Sully, Mike, & Boo, but they also had a few other Monsters, but I didn't want to stand in line again for them. We met Lotso and they had mr potato head but he left as we got to the front of the line. and we met Carl, & Russell and my son was wanting to look for the Snipe. My directive was to meet Remy & Emile...unfortunately rats don't come out in the rain, even if its drizzling. So I only got to see them the next day in the Pixar Pals Parade @ DHS.
and I loved the new placements of the topiaries (and the TS3 topes at the front entrance)

We also finally got to taste all the sodas in club cool...YUCK...only one was good. I think it was like watermelon...my son tasted them as well. He was funny.


@DHS we had a blast. We ate at Hollywood & Vine for the Play & Dine Character Dining..and it was worth the money..breakfast was ok. nothing to brag about...as long as I have my mickey waffles I'm good...but the characters really interacted with my kids...several times...so it wasn't rushed at all..now could be the day we went or the time we went...but we are definately doing this next year again..Don't want to wear out the character dinings.

@Animal Kingdom yesterday..we had fun..it was pretty packed. alot of school groups. Annoying. But my kids were having fun...although there was a few incidents but I know the baby just wanted to walk..he was tired of being in the stroller..and Miguel thought he was his own boss...kept walking away from me.

and the stroller...OMG i cannot wait till I don't need to have a stroller...ugh...I hated it when I was on Wonder last year...and I am hoping by the time I go on this cruise..I will only need to bring the single umbrella stroller. cross fingers.


but the craziest thing i saw this weekend..a woman ran over a kid with her scooter...I went to run over there but I guess she was part of the kids family...I saw the woman again leaving the first aid area..and she just looked horrified still..I hope the kid wasn't badly hurt..he was crying in pain..poor thing..

Thanks Marisol for updating..And can I just say "WOW".. This is going to be a huge FE.. Thats great that you get to spend so much time at WDW..I was born and raised 30 minutes from Disneyland and used to go all the time..I moved to NY 21 years ago so I have been getting a yearly fix from WDW.. That poor kid.. I hope he was OK..
