I think I remember Adriane's kids thread from the Oct 30 western (that was a great cruise!!! I'll have my kids check her thread out again! Hopefully, some of you will be on the NYC summer of 2012 cruises too!!!

We should do special FE's for Easter!!!!

Hi,
Yes we were on the Oct.30th cruise with you. That was a very fun cruiseAdriane will write your kids back soon on the kids thread.
I wish I could go on one of the NYC cruises to Canada in 2012, but we are planning to go to Disneyland that summer. I have always wanted to go to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick though.

I agree we should do special FE for our Easter cruise. We enjoy playing FE.

Good morning everyone!

Just bumping us up to the first page. Anyone book any of the new cruises that came out this past week? We are waiting for the 2013 itineraries. Hopefully they will be out next fall. I hope to book a dummy date on our Alaskan cruise to transfer to 2013.

Anyone interested in playing fish extenders on this cruise?

What does this mean? We've never done fish extenders before...

What does this mean? We've never done fish extenders before...

Fish Extenders is a game that those on the Dis boards play while on the cruise. Next to the stateroom doors are "fish" that you can hang a fish extender on (a cloth type holder with pockets for everyone in your group that is playing) There are pictures of FE on this thread (also look under the sticky DCL facts under FE info, etc on the main page and there is a lot of info there too)

Usually you sign up with a group of other Disers and then during your cruise you give other Disers in your group a little gift. It can be one gift for the whole stateroom or 1 gift for each person in a stateroom. It is really up to you. I usually give one gift to the adults in a stateroom and then a gift to all the kids in the same stateroom. Other Disers then put small gifts in you FE pockets throughout the cruise. Usually you pass out gifts once during the cruise on any day that you like.

Some items you pass out can be boughten or homemade. Many people buy some things from Oriental Trading or the Dollar Store for little gifts. Some types of gifts I have received or have passed out to adults and kids are: items and food from your home state, home made DCL bag, photo frames, stuffed animals,candy and other treats, pencils, stickers, note books, customized DCL pens or pencils or other items customized for your specific cruise, Disney washclothes, other Disney items, coloring books, Disney CDs,hand sanitizer, magnets, "survival bags" with band aids, stain remover, etc and other odds and ends you may need for your cruise, pirate gear, pirte pillow case, tatoos. Ideas for gifts are really endless and totally up to you. You do not have to spend a lot of money on the gifts.

It usually is a lot of fun and my kids (as well as us adults) really look forward to coming back to our stateroom to see what treasures might be in our FE.

So awesome!!! We have a trip coming up to Disney in august and while I am looking so forward to that trip, I am really looking forward to the cruise in April!

I'm totally with you there! We have a trip to WDW in July. I'm cool with it (but not the drive so much!) But... I am excited about the cruise. We all can't wait to see the Dream!

I saw the posts about FEs and was going to post that I would organize it before I saw your post. If you would like me to, I can take over so you are not overwhelmed with 2 cruises!

I've still got to get Matthew on to get names up on the first page! So, if you can PM me with who is in your group (and board names!) I'll have him update the first post to show the info!

I've sent you a PM and have added you to the FE list. In my PM, I told you that my daughter Adriane would be 14 on this cruise and actually she will be 13 (almost 14) sometimes it is hard to think ahead a year
