Anyone know when state room numbers are finally issued for those who have not been assigned rooms yet? Just want to be sure we put a reasonable deadline on the participant count.

Glad to see there is interest in a Fish Extender Exchange! As a courtesy to fellow Fish Extender participants, please update your replies with state room numbers ASAP to make your participation official! (As pointed out in a prior posting, sometimes people express interest, causing others to begin preparing gifts, and then fail to report back with a state room number and the gift givers are left with gifts that are undeliverable.) Thank you!!!

Seamouse,
I'm new at this fish ext. exchange.
When will we know the other participants? Will there be a list with names, ages and room#?
Our stateroom is 6144.
Thank you!

Hello! My goal is to compile a complete list by end of day tomorrow since we put a deadline on the group for tomorrow. Basically, anyone who replied to my call for participants last week will be on the list. (Those who expressed interest in posts prior to the one with the twirling flowers that I posted will not be on the list, unless they reiterated their interest so that we can be sure they didn't disappear from this thread). We will be missing a few state room numbers it sounds like, but hopefully will get those on the list soon. Look for a list of participants soon!

I would make the suggestion that you call for a quick meet for everyone once onboard. Generally, D Lounge at 3:00 is a good time/location (before muster, and most people are onboard by then) to update any missing room numbers. Also, some FE organizers post a list on their door with updated room numbers.

Thank you, Princess Shmoo! When we do set a meeting time, I hope you will consider joining us so we might thank you in person for your guidance to the group.

Fish Extender Group Sign-Up

Because we are getting close to the cruise and it doesn't appear there is an active FE group yet, I propose we try to start a group now. I've never participated in FE before, but with the good insight in Princess Shmoo's post above, perhaps we can give it a go. All suggestions are welcome on how to make this easy and magical for the group!!!

From what I've read online about FE groups, it seems the frequency and amount of gift giving is left up to the preferences of each gift giver. You can bring a gift for everyone listed in every participating cabin for every day of the cruise, or, at the very least, you would bring one thing for every participating cabin and deliver it at some point during the cruise. On a short 3-day cruise, people seem to lean toward bringing little gifts for each participating cabin (or each person in each cabin) for all three days of the cruise and deliver them at their convenience once per day. It also sounds like participants can choose to either give anonymously or attach gift tags indicating which cabin or family gave the gifts. Btw - There are lots of ideas for Fish Extender gifts on the Internet.

I suggest we let each participant give as much or as little info to the group as they choose. At the very least, it seems we would need the following info for each participant: first names, ages (at least of children), and cabin numbers. If you hope for surprises to perhaps be a bit more personalized (no guarantees, of course), feel free to tell the group more details about your family members' preferences (like favorite Disney characters, how you collect rubber ducks, how you're a chocoholic, how you are allergic to all things purple, etc. - just anything that helps guide gift givers).

Here is a basic form you can complete and post in a reply to this thread to become an official participant in the 2/19/16 Disney Dream FE Group. To give everyone a chance to prepare gifts, let's make the final deadline for receiving the forms this Friday, February 5th. If you already gave all of this info and indicated you wanted to participate earlier in the thread, please do it once in a reply to this message.

Let the magic begin!

On a side note to anyone reading these boards, as far as I can tell, you only have to have the desire to pass on the magic to others to participate in the FE group (no age limit, no traveling-with-kid requirements, no hard rules). Whether you're a kid or kid at heart, feel free to reply with the necessary info to join the fun by end of the day today!

Thank you, Quellman!

TO ALL FISH EXTENDER PARTICIPANTS -- I believe an email was sent out from DCL today with the subject - Your Disney Cruise is almost here! If everyone participating in the FE Group will check that email for assigned stateroom numbers, that will help finalize the FE list. Thanks!
