[Silverfox97]

Just found this...new to DCL...but huge WDW fans...we just booked this cruise about 2 weeks ago...and are getting very excited...we have two cabins and upgraded to cat 9 from cat 12...our 2 college age children and the girlfriend will be with my dh and myself... we have not received our docs...has everyone received them??Since we are going to WDW before we sail I don't know if I should call Also can someone tell me ... what is fe??? i looked up the abbreviation but still dont understand...can someone fill me in...sorry looked all over but probably in the wrong places...lol Anything else I need to know...any info at all would be greatly appreciated...

Congrats on your upgrade and welcome to the cruise and the thread!!

A FE is a Fish Extender - there are lots of threads on the Cruise Line boards explaining this. Another good place to start is the FAQ sticky at the top of the thread.

 

[Hook & Mickey Mom]

I am new to these boards - so my apologies n advance if I am off on my terminology!!

We are on the 8/8 wonder cruise - DH and myself and DS-5 1/2 and DS-2 1/2.

We would LOVE to participate in the FE - but even from reading these posts, I am still unsure about how to sign up, how to see who has signed up, and what type of gifts are distributed!

Thanks for helping a novice - and I look forward to meeting you in only 28 more days!!!

Welcome! It's not too late to join IMO, I have exactly 2 more boy FE gifts left. But I can go buy more if anyone else joins. Here are some threads you can look at for FE gift ideas. You can do one gift for cabin, per person or per child, whichever you prefer.

Welcome!
Since you just booked 2 weeks ago, you will probably receive your docs next week. I'm sure you will receive them before you leave but even if you don't, it's not a big deal. You can checkin and print docs for your cruise on-line. Just bring the printed copies with you and the porters will give you luggage tags that you can write your name and cabin number on.

Anyone out there going to run the Castaway Cay 5K with me??

I'll be cheering you all on from the sidelines. It's WAY too hot in August. I know I live in Florida but I'm not good with heat/sun, I get a migrane if I get overheated.

You'll have company on the 5K. Our family group of 16 will have 5 to 7 runners doing the 5K. Should be fun. We've run Castaway by ourselves before, but haven't been part of the 5K yet. Depending on if we decide to stay together, we would have anywhere from 8 min miles to 12 minute miles. Should be fun.

August 8, 2010-Disney Wonder Cruise-FISH EXTENDER LIST!
Welcome to: The August 8, 2010 Disney Wonder-Double Dip-Cruise Fish Extenders (FE) players list ,


Here is the beginning of our FE list. We will be doing individual choice for the gifts; either an individual gift or a cabin gift, it is up to you. If you would like to join the fun, let us know in your post. Please include:

• your cabin
• number of adults
• number (age and gender) of children
• special notes such as:
• allergies
• If for some reason you cabin number changes close to the sail date, or you upgrade your cabin at the port, that information needs to be shared with the rest of the FE group.
• If your cabin has a roommate situation, where you both are participating in the FE Exchange, but do not reside together in real life, please state that when you sign up. Each person would then be listed and each person would receive gifts of their own.

Please be aware that I will stop checking this thread on 8/1/10. I will compile a list and post it to the thread with all the information gathered to make our gift delivery easier. Any posts thereafter will be up to the individual to update on their list.

If anyone would like to start FE groups that are going in for a group gift that would be great, but I will ONLY keep track of individual gifts. So if anyone would like that task please begin a new thread.

Thanks and !​

Cabin #: 6548
2-Adults
1-Girl Age 11
1-Boy Age 9
No Allergies

Hi! I'm new to this and will be sailing on August 8 with my family. My husband and I have gone on cruises before but this will be our first with our little ones. I'm interested in participating in the FE. I had to research it after I saw someone selling one on Etsy.com. My cabin consists of me (Ana-mommy), my husband (Ariel-daddy), my son (Adrian-4) and my daughter (Anabel-2 1/2). I'm excited and nervous. We live in Miami so we will be up there the night before. I don't know what my cabin number is just yet. I will have to get the info. from husband. I'm excited and can't wait.

 

[Hook & Mickey Mom]

Hi brava! We will be on this cruise with my 2 1/2 & 5 1/2 yo sons... We look forward to meeting other people traveling with kids similar in age! Feel free to message me! - Adina

 

[Hook & Mickey Mom]

Hi! We signed up and are on the FE list! We haven't done this before and are so excited!!

I have a couple of questions - do we say who the gifts came from? Is there any distribution criteria?

Thanks!

 

[ICEMANPAD]

For FE's, I suggest Oriental Trading or the like, but there are so many possibilities...as to identifying yourself, I suggest doing so, although, again, there really are no rules...but better for people to know you actually delivered something...

We will be back to answering questions etc in a day or two..in transit tomorrow returning from parents weekend at son's camp in western NC..though I need to go to Roanoke next Sunday for a day or two for work..

Another thing, if people want to do a Dis-meet, I sugest deck 10 starboard (the side overlooking the dock) immediately after the mandatory drill and just prior to the sailaway party...we have found that time and location work well b/c everyone is on decks 9 and 10 anyway, unless it rains...

That said, we are always the easiest to spot in the terminal b/c I am 6'8" tall and basically impossible to miss...though we may be arriving at different times this trip as Lisa/Mason will drive up the night before, but I will be driving from a convention in Tampa on Sunday morning..

Hey Chuck, I see you are from Weston. I'm in Miami Lakes so we are close by. Good to see some South Florida people on the cruise.

 

[aa053103]

[Dsnylndlvrs]

Hi all!

Thank you for the updated list. I'm so excited to be a part of this. If it wasn't that I was looking for minnie related stuff to buy for niece's upcoming bday on Etsy.com, I would have never known about the Fish extender. I purchased a custom made one and I should getting it any day now. Very excited. Any booked any fun excursions yet?
