FISH EXTENDER EXCHANGE
We will keep it fun and simple. There won't be a theme or assigned delivery days to deal with. It will be up to you whether you want to do one gift per cabin or individual gifts for everyone in each cabin. The closer the date of the cruise, the more participants we'll begin to see. The number can grow pretty quickly. So, I would like to know upfront how many cabins you are comfortable exchanging with so I can coordinate the groups accordingly. I'd like to know your comfort level ahead of time. It will make setting up the exchange groups much easier, and you will have a more positive experience.

To give everyone time to prepare, the deadline to join the FE Exchange will be SATURDAY, JULY 4, 2015. By Monday, July 6, I will send Private Messages to all participants with all the details of your FE group. This will give everyone a month before the cruise to prepare.

To join the FE Exchange, please send me a "Private Message" with the following information:
*Cabin Number
*Names of everyone in your cabin
*Ages of children
*Any allergy considerations
*The size of the FE group: At this point, it looks like we will be at less than 20. If we add more than three additional staterooms, I'll announce it on the thread. (Currently 17 as of 6-22-15)

If you are new to the DIS Boards:
(FYI: You will need to make ten posts before you can send a Private Message)
*Easiest way to send a “Private Message”:
-Click the recipient's name (in blue font) in the little box on the left side of one of their posts
-Click on “Start a Conversation” (in white font)
-Enter a “Conversation Title”
-Under the row of icons, type your message
-Click “Start a Conversation” under your message to send it

For some reason it is not letting me private message you.. is there another way to do it? Or maybe i didn't do it right..?

 

[cwdevers]

You have to post 10 times before it will let you send a private message. Just post one word at a time until you get to 10.

I am new to Disboards and to Disney Cruises. Could you explain what these abbreviations are (some I figured out)
(DD16)(DH, DGD14, DGS11)(DH, DS12, DD10)

We'd like to participate in the FE program but since I am new I can't PM you.

Thanks for your help.

I'm still trying to decide. We'll probably do a basic tour of the islands. I like the "Skyride to Paradise Point" in St. Thomas. I'm also thinking about the Coral World Ocean Park & Scenic Drive. Haven't quite decided for St. Maarten. I signed up to rent a bicycle on Castaway Cay on my last cruise, but my back went out on me, and I did good just to walk around. I'm determined to ride that bike this time!

We are doing a catamaran/snorkel excursion in St. Marteen and then may head to Maho beach if flight schedules cooperate.

Make sure you read the what to pack lists & helpful tips. It's right on. Also, bring a photo mat (large) or a white pillow case to leave at the lobby desk for characters to sign. Great free memory maker!

Where would I find the 'what to pack list and helpful tips'?

Hi, Flyer06! You're almost at ten posts. Once you get there, be sure to PM me so I'll have your cabin numbers. You only have to gift once, but you are free to do what you would like. You can give a family gift per cabin or individual gifts. It's all up to you. The FE is meant to be fun and simple, so there are no difficult rules to follow. You'll just need to decide which group size will work for you.

This is all great information! Thanks for organizing the FEs.

 

[cwdevers]

So Ness2289, will be be swapping gifts with all 17+ rooms or are you going to be making smaller groups? I have an idea(s) of what I want to do and I'm trying to decide how many/much I need to get! I am so excited I CAN NOT WAIT!!
