February 27th 2011 Mexican Riviera - Fish Extender Thread

[disney-lover]

Hi everyone! Hope you are all ejoying your holidays & for those that celebrate Christmas, are feeling relaxed as we roll into the big weekend!

I wanted to put our stateroom number on the main list...we are in Cabin 7592.

JewelSS asked about who to deliver the gifts to, and when we have done FE before, everyone did the whole boat. It made it lots of fun to explore other floors of the ship, & of course, it made giving more gifts even more fun...not to mention GETTING more gifts

Anyway--that's just my two cents. Have a great Thursday!!

Totally agree with you. We had great fun last time going up and down all the different floors. We even managed to end up in the engine room

I will add your Stateroom number to the first post.

My parents are for sure coming on the cruise too so please add them to the FE list!

It is 2A (Mike and Patty) and they are still in GTY for the time being!

Thank you!

 

[Jewelss37]

yay!!! Excited to have our room # 8556. Thanks for adding to list!

Hello,
Was wondering if we were going to keep the FE group this large or were we going to split it up into 2 groups so its a little more manageable?

I really want to participate, but I dont' think I can if the group is that large.

Thoughts?

On a previous cruise when this question came up, we decided to keep the list as one list. Then, people chose who to give to. Some people gave to everyone, others gave to only the children, or only the adults, or just the little kids, or whatever ideas they had come up with. It seemed to work really well this way...and we had a HUGE list (I think it was up to 50 families!).

That way, everyone could gift whatever worked for them.

Just my two cents!!

I agree with one list. It's really not too big and it's going to be so much fun! I'm going overboard already. I just can't help it!

Wow you are organised. Yes please can you send it to me by PM on here please.
Nearer the time I will get everyones room numbers and send them out to everyone so we know where we are going.

I can't PM - not enough posts (you have to have a minimum # of posts in order to send private messages - who knew!?)

- let me know if you'd like me to email - I'd be happy to send you what I have.
Thanks!

I agree, one list... I am another one who has gone crazy with gifts! I'ts my first time so its very exciting!

Hi all,

I thought I would start a Fish Extender thread for our cruise.

We did FE's on our last cruise and it was great, the kids loved getting all the gifts ready. Then they really enjoyed taking them round the ship looking for the right doors. And most of all seeing their faces when we came back to our room and found loads of gifts was a picture.

Anyway enough of the waffle.

I will keep this first post updated when people join.

Fun! I got mine from the same seller - totally excited. Haven't started my gifts but the count-down has begun. I have my own list together - hoping it's correct.
Looking forward to a fun week!

[IndianaPrincess]

I was out shopping for supplies today. I think it's gonna be two little gifts per kid and then two homemade-kinda gifts per family!

 

[KYLERSMOMMY]

Hi very excited its almost here!!!! I have a question do we deliver stuff every day to everyone? Or do we pick a day to do them all? Do we just visit each family once but we can pick what day? Just trying to get a clear picuture? LOL

We are going to have a blast! Thanks for getting this all set up.

 

[mainstreetmagic]

So we are at 74 people, total, now, right? I want to make sure I have enough for everyone, and it is getting close now!

I think we need to set a deadline - this came up on the main board. Is anyone against that? How about we give it another week as a heads up and say Jan 20th is the drop dead date for joining the FE group?

You can do whatever you want! Daily to just once... and everything in between! It probably depends on what you are giving also, but it's completely in your hands.

I *think* my plan is to have three rounds - but if it takes forever to pass them out, then I'll combine the last two.

To a big group! It's gonna be magical!

I think that is more than fair...I have started making my gifts and would rather not have to go back and make some more after I put everything away Speaking of which, I have to get going and continue working on the gifts b/c our cruise is sooner than we think
