I just have one question...how many families will we be giving to? is it one a day? 5 a day? 3 a day? lol....just didn't see that in the thread THANK YOU...will love to be included!!!!
Okay I lied...I know it says that it doesn't matter what you spend BUT what is the average? I saw things in the picture from Michaels 99c bins...but I have access to lots of Disney stuff and Disneyland warehouse outlet stores etc...so I don't mind buying better gifts but will I be the only one??
THANK you! THANK you for any info!!

It depends on how the organizer wants to set it up. My suggestion is to not make the list too huge, because the cost becomes prohibitive and it can be more like work than fun. If we have a ton of people who want to sign up - and I hope we do! - perhaps we could consider splitting the list into groups, where you will only give to and receive from the people in your group. I have several friends traveling on the Westbound TransAtlantic coming up, and this is how they've handled their huge FE group.

Personally, I would rather give to a smaller number of cabins (15? 20? 25?) and be able to do something a little nicer and/or more time-consuming for them. On my prior DCL cruise we had a huge FE group - I don't remember exactly, but it was at least 50 cabins. In my opinion, that was too much.

I will certainly defer to disney-lover as the organizer for this group... that's just my two cents.

I've added you to the front post, welcome to the thread.

I totally agree with you hun. 50 cabins in way too many. Maybe we should cut off this thread when it gets to a nice amount. And then any late comers can organise another FE group.

On our last cruise there were only about 10 cabins taking part and the cruise was 10 nights. It was a little small in my opinion and I am pleased that this time there will be more people participating

Jody,
You can find one on ebay if you put fish extender in the search, about 30 bucks.It is nice because she will personalize it. Or go to amazon and put disney wall organizer in, I searched yesterday and found one on there for $7.

Excited to see you onboard!
Rachel

 

[disney-lover]

I have added all the newbies

LS I'm not very crafty either but we made an FE for our last cruise. Made it with a mail sorter thing with pockets and then covered with some felt and we just spray glued it, easy peesy.

Some friends of ours had tote bags with mickey mouse on them and their names. I think they just got the printable iron on transfers.

 

[randc01]

Me too! Trying to figure out if I should make an FE, or just buy one.

 

[DisneyZell]

We just wanted to add our name to the FE group. Here we are:

Disneyzell:
Deanna - 39
Drew - 40 (this September!)
Nick - 12
Connor - 8

Cabin - 7018

Now I have to get busy and make my F/E. I made one for our christmas cruise, but that is all holiday disney. At least now I'll make a generic disney one to use over and over! Now the planning starts to see what we are going to do!

 

[GoDucks!]

We are looking forward (I should say, I am, - my husband will kill me until he sees how much fun this is) to the FE!! This is our first cruise as a family - what fun!

Room 7518 -

[gatzsd]

We would like to join too! We are going on the Med cruise in Sept and just got my FE from Gradysmommy today - its so cute! So I will definitely want to reuse it for the MR. Is there going to be a max # of cabins per FE?

[DisneyZell]

Thanks for adding us disney-lover! Should be a fun group. Cannot wait until the cruise.

 

[Ladyshopper]

Phew, have found this thread again and now subscribed to it so i don't lose it!

Already starting to think about fish extender gifts, am very excited by it!

 

[Ladyshopper]

Just wanted to update my room number, its 5139.

Hope a few more people join us on the fish extender, I'm really looking forward to taking part and have already been buying/making/planning gifts.

Am still to purchase the actual fish extender itself though!
