Just checking in! I treated myself to an upgrade. I now have a veranda room.
Hopefully this thread will get more active closer to departure time.

Hi Lori,

I would recommend searching for Fish Extenders on the Disboard site and there will definitely be posts with pictures of people's extenders and what they have done and/or received for gifts in the past. But basically; you can hang some sort of bag; pocket; etc to the fish outside your door. You would then give one gift per cabin or one gift per person in each cabin in the fish extender exchange group and they in return would give you a gift back. You get a mixture of everything...candy, gum, lotion, homemade bookmarks, homemade bracelets, magnets, ornaments, etc...no gift is too small...it is all for the fun of it. The hardest part is making room in your suitcase! Hope that helps!Danielle

I have heard of this and seen it but really don't know how it works. Do you register somewhere or just leave the gift (in a bag) on the fish for the next party who gets your cabin on the next cruise?

Add me, my cousin Jill and my 20 yr old niece to your list of travelers. This will be my niece's first cruise to anywhere.

Have been watching this and as we passed the 90 day mark have decided to participate in the FE. We( me and DW) are sailing with my DD and DSIL and 2 DGS in adjoining staerooms. I'll post the numbers later.

Hello we are a family of 2 adults and 2 6 year olds and this is our first time to the states and our very first cruise we are just a tad bit excited

 

[unkamike]

I E-mailed ksloane yesterday, she is not going on this cruise, so unless we get another volunteer, I will be keeping track of DISers and FE lists. I should have it up by this weekend.

Welcome to our newest Members, ESFC and shellsdisneycruise.

Fish Extender
Next to the door is a fish, mostly used for letters and notices from crew members. A Fish Extender is hung from the fish containing pockets. Dis Members who choose to participate in FE Exchange will deliver gifts to each member and put them in one of the pockets. Gifts are up to you, they can be one to a cabin or one to each person in the cabin. In the past, I have received candy, pens, pencils, notepads, first aid kits, homemade magnets, and many other trinkets. It is fun to come back to you cabin each evening and find something. You can make you own FE, or order one from E-Bay. For more information Goggle "Fish extenders". I hope this explains FEs a little.

See post #11 for FE list.

Fabulous. I cannot wait to go looking for everyone's door. The three of us will be cabin 9555.

We are at the 60 Day mark and the ship is almost sold out! Where is everybody? We only have two FE's confirmed, we need more! I'm still waiting for my cabin assignment, not sure if I will do the FE, I don't have my Nieces and Nephews with me this time, they loved making the deliveries. I'm not much of a chatter on these boards, but I like to read everybody else's chats. Has anybody been on the Dream? It's my first time, I'm looking forward to exploring it. My favorite place on the Wonder is the Cove Cafe, I hope the one on the Dream is nice.

Post #11 has the List!

Never been on the Dream. Looking forward to exploring her too. My favorite place is the tile beds in the Rainforest room of the spa.

Just got my cabin # today! I'm in #6150. Getting closer to departure time!!!

Hi all!

We will be sailing on The Dream the 26th. My wife and I are in one cabin, our DD and her BF have their own cabin. Another friend of ours has their own cabin. Looking forward to the Holiday Cruise. This will be our third DCL cruise, DD's first cruise. I am hoping Castaway Cay's water is not too chilly. We love, love, love serenity bay and I will be a little disappointed if the water is too cold to swim.

 

[unkamike]

Welcome tomandrobin!! I'll add you to our list.

 

[tomandrobin]

Welcome tomandrobin!! I'll add you to our list.

Thanks for the welcome!

I had debated about joining the FE, as of now I am not. I did our first FE on the 2011 DVC Members Cruise in September and had a blast. But it was a lot of work, with over 50 cabins on the list. We were taken back by the thoughtfulness and creativity of a lot of the FE gifts.

I am really excited for DD20 to see the ship. Her and her BF have never been on a cruise ship before.

Currently, we have nothing booked....no Palo, no spa treatments, nothing for Castaway Cay.

 

[unkamike]

Just got my Cruise Documents today, just 5 weeks to go.

Remember, We need your cabin # to participate in FE's.
