THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS KARINA!
Pretty sure 8044 is on port side - middle of ship but slightly toward aft
Thanks again!

Here is the last list I received before it was closed (see attachment). But after it was closed, 2 families have asked to be on the "Pixie Dust" list -- Lisa Carrillo/ Rai/ Sofia celebrating her 8th birthday in Cabin 6511 and Tgriff/ his spouse/ 2 children (girl age 4 and boy age 6) in Cabin 7130. You have the option to give to them as well.

** But DON'T FORGET OUR ORGANIZER, JENN. She ended up not going on this cruise but she still created the list for all of us and handled all of the additions (and she said that she made us FE gifts and her friends William/ Vanessa will be handing them out!!!). If you want to give JENN and her family something, make sure to deliver those gifts to her friends (who are also on the FE list) "William/ Vanessa in Cabin 6069". Jenn's children are:
Sydney- 15yr she loves Tiana from Princess and the Frog
Kailey- 12yr she loves Minnie Mouse
Tino- 9yr he loves Phineas and Ferb
Lizzie- 4yr she loves Sophia the First

As for the map, I'm in 2 FE groups so my map may confuse you. But here are our FE cabins according to floors (subdivided left/ port or right/ starboard side):

1st floor (Port/left side of ship):
1068
1070

2nd floor (Port/left side of ship):
2073
2102
2132

2nd floor (Starboard/ right side of ship)
2558
2578
2611
2631

5th floor (Port/left side of ship):
5013

5th floor (Starboard/ right side of ship)
5509

6th floor (Port/left side of ship):
6069 (+ Jenn's gifts)
6110
6131

6th (Starboard/right side of ship)
6309
6511 (optional pixie dust)

7th (Port/left side of ship)
7035
7041
7130 (optional pixie dust)

8th (?)
8044


Hope this helps!

You are welcome, Dennise! HAPPY CRUISING!!!

PS: Don't forget to take 6069 + Jenn's gift off the list. Vanessa will not be cruising after all and can't take our gifts to Jenn.

I was wondering if there is a meet up planned?

I don't think there is any meet up planned.

 

[CMV Family]

This is our first fe group. We would be happy to arrange a last minute one if others would like to meet up. We have a 5 year old daughter and I think she would love to meting some of the other kids onboard.

Anyone interested? Tuesday at sea?

CMV Family - we'd like to exchange! This is our first cruise and our first FE. I have no idea how this even works getting hooked up together!.... advice??

 

[TheHensleys05]

Are there any other people who have contacted you about last minute FE assignments?? This is our first cruise and we are just now realizing we want to try and do this. Thank you!!

Ok hopefully I do this right. If you don't know what a FE or fish extender is, it is basically a decorated pocket organizer you hang from a fish clip that is next to your cabin door. Gifts and surprises can be left from other fellow cruisers. For everyone who wants to join in the gift exchange you can either post some basic info to this thread or message me if you do not feel comfortable posting your info.

1. First name and age of each cabin member

2. Stateroom #

3. Any food allergies.

4. Disboard user name or email address for so I can send you a list of the members info in your exchange group.

Optional Info for more personalized gifts

1. Favorite characters

2. For Adults, don't mind receiving alcoholic gift or would rather not receive alcoholic gift.

3. Any celebrations such as a birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc.

***We will be adding cabins to the list up until September 1, 2015 so it gives everyone plenty of time to put their gifts together. I will leave it up to you if you wish to give individuals gifts for each cabin member or if you would like to give a single gift for the whole cabin. I will divide up all cabins who join into groups then send all info to everyone.

***If anyone wants to join our FE Exchange after September 1, 2015 please send me a message with your info so I can see what I can do about putting some extra gifts together.

Here is a thread with some homemade gift ideas.

Feel free to message me or post any questions on this thread and I will do my best to help.

Are you on the list of cabins already?

 

[TheHensleys05]

No, we're not on the list. Today was my first time to realize I needed to contact someone. lol...we're in 7128

Yes, the FE list is already closed, but there are a few people interested in doing a mini-exchange with other late-comers or putting their cabin numbers down for others to "pixie dust" them (pixie dust = defined as "participants of FE list may have extra items and are willing to drop off gifts for certain late-comers"). I mentioned to another late-comer to contact other late-comers via email (that they have listed) to see if they are interested in doing a mini-exchange. Some people are no longer viewing this DISBoard so that may be the best way to contact them.

Happy Cruising!!!

We are going to print out a meet and greet flyer for everyone and drop them off in the FEs that we have on the list on Monday evening. That way people will hopefully get them and be able to meet up on Tuesday mid morning. We will be sure and give on to you all in cabin 7128 as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where would be a good meeting spot?

 

[TheHensleys05]

Thank you so much! We're on the secret deck in 7128. We have three boys - 8, 5, and 2, but our special needs 8 year old (the reason we're in the handicap room) got sick and isn't coming with us anymore We're hoping to focus on our other two boys and let them have our undivided attention they so often miss out on. And the 8 year old is fine staying home with his grandparents and probably won't miss us one bit

Thought I would check in. We are at Key West. 2102 and 5509. There are no fish extenders. Did you move or not come?

We're in 7138 - I mistyped and told everyone 7128 sorry!!! We are here and have an FE. I've been putting notes in it each night from my special needs son to my other typical sons who are here with me. Sorry for the confusion!

We had a blast this last week on board the Wonder. It was fun passing out and receiving all of the fish extenders. Kylie is already planning our next cruise and what she wants to do for her next fish extenders. Thank you all for helping make her first cruise so magical. It was fun meeting everyone and making memories! I hope that everyone has safe travels back home!

Now that we are settled back into reality I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that made the FE's SO MUCH fun! Mason & Cate were thrilled every time we came back to our room and found something waiting for them. You guys were awesome! Our first cruise was truly WONDERful!
Thank you!
