August 5th 2012, Magic- NY to Canada

[Happy Goofy]

The fish extender started years ago on the Magic I think. Outside your door is a metal plaque of a fish. What has evolved over the years is a gift exchange. People sign up to participate and they hang some type of bag from the metal fish.People that are partcipating sometime during the cruise leave a little surprise in the fish extender. it is usually a home made craft item or an inexpensive item such as pencils, candy, items from Oriental trader etc. Each cruise sets up their own rules. If there is a lot of cabins involved the people are usually divided into groups of 25. Sometimes it is one gift percabin and if there are children in the cabin , according to their age, a little something is left for them too.
I have participated in one where we had a 100 cabins and they decided to do every cabin. It was a lot of fun but a lot of work.

If you go on Ebay and type in Fish Extender you can see some of them there. you can also design your own or just hang a regular bag.

I am doing this and something else for another cruise so i can't do it for this one.

Hope someone will organize it. It is really a lot of fun.

I am also in for the FE, but can't organize it. Wish I could. Totally in, though.

Sounds pretty cool - I know my DD who is turning 6 during the cruise would love any special treats. We would love to participate! Don't think you want to leave the organizing to me, though I'd be happy to assist someone who has done it before!

Thanks for explaining

I just booked the August 5th Disney Magic to Canada! This will be the 4th Disney cruise for my mother and I, and the 2nd Disney cruise for my daughter.

This is a celebration for us. My mother just spent 4 weeks in the hospital after a heart attack - triple bypass, mitral valve fix, and pacemaker. We had been talking about perhaps doing a less expensive cruise next year, but when she opened her eyes in ICU I told her she EARNED the Disney cruise!

We have a lot to be thankful for on this beautiful Thanksgiving morning!

So our party is:

Me 39
DM 70
DD 9

I thought I would like to introduce myself. My name is Kaitlin and I will be on your cruise. I will be 17 at the time will be a junior in high school. I am teriyaki's daughter. If any of you have teens that will be on the cruise, I would love to meet them (BraveCruiser, I met your girls last time and it will be nice to see them again).

Hi Kaitlin! I'm glad to 'know' you. Unfortunately none of my girls will be older than 8 at the time we sail, but I can assure you that my oldest shares your love for the Jonas Brothers...and even more for the Beebs.

This will be fun!!

Yes, it will be fun Jeremy. Your oldest will be jealous that I met them.

Check your "snail" mail boxes! I was beyond thrilled today to find a small brochure from DCL with some info about our upcoming Canada/New England Coast Vacation.

Now it really seems official.

 

[Happy Goofy]

Haven't received anything yet from DCL- hopefully it will come soon

Anyone interested in doing a FE gift exchange on this cruise? It's a lot of fun if folks are interested.

Yes, Absolutely. We've discussed it, but no one is able to take charge of it right now. I've managed one in the past, but I can't do it this time due to my Masters program...too much time.
But we are definitely in should someone else manage it.
Thanks!

 

[Happy Goofy]

We would also be interested in the FE. It would be my husband and myself.

I created a Google document for the FE Exchange:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnrsWMNbjFS0dGs4SEM1NU9yN1RkbFhPVzdXeW5icXc

I gave those with the link permission to edit the spreadsheet so perhaps folks can enter their information in the spreadsheet? That will eliminate me making mistakes transcribing information from posts. If you can't access the spreadsheet, I can try to get everyone in there but I travel a great deal for work and I don't always have time to look at DisBoards very regularly.

Kind regards,
Lynda

 

[Happy Goofy]

I can get to the spreadsheet but it would not let me type in any information

 

[lllpath]

I'm sorry! I thought I checked 'allow edit' but I will go back in and check. I'm not that familiar with google docs but hopefully I can figure out how to let folks edit.

Happy New Year!

Hi lllpath! I'm excited that you offered to organize the FE! I went to the spreadsheet and tried to add our family but can't seem to edit it either. We are in 6062 (BraveCruiser (Lori), DH (Ralph), DD (Rachel 20), DD (Natalie 17).

Hi! I just redid the permissions and I think I have the spreadsheet where folks can edit it...please give it a try...
