First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[DVCsince02]

Do you have directions or a supply list of the basics. Some of the directions I saw really confused me. I need you to talk to me like I am 2 because I haven't used a sewing machine since Home Ec my freshman year of HS almost 20 years ago.

Thanks
Becky

This is what I found.

You need 1/4 yard of fabric, iron interfacing, wide double fold bias tape, and a 3/8" dowel 8" long.

Pockets are 11" X 5 1/2"
Back is 32" X 8"

1. Cut out backing and pockets then iron on interfacing.
2. Sew bias tape on top of pocket
3. Pleat once on each side and pin bottom of pocket so that it is 8" wide.
4. Baste, then pin bias tape on bottom and sew on
5. Pin pockets on backing and sew bottom of pocket to backing
6. Pin and baste around entire outside of project.
7. Pin then sew bias tape around outside edge of whole fish extender
8. Fold top over leaving room for you dowel at top and sew along the inside of bias

tape down each side to secure.

I got it. Wouldn't that be a nice treat to find at the end of the day??? I will have to check out the DCL board.

I'll save you some time -- these are two of the threads I have saved:

Wow I am in trouble because I have no idea what bias tape is or how to baste(well I can when cooking). I think I may have to enlist my MIL.

Thanks for the help. I at least know what I need to buy.

PS I found out what bias tape is. I may be able to this yet

Fish extenders?! I had to Google (Image) to figure out what the heck this was. I'm getting worried. I had no idea folks decorated their doors and took 'gifts' for other cruisers. Do you give to folks you know (like fellow DISers) or anyone with a 'fish extender'? Please, what else should I know about before this cruise?! I'm a DCL virgin. Actually, I've only been on one cruise (RC) but it was like 9 years ago. I didn't even have a computer back then!

We only have given them to those who are signed up on the DISboard thread for the cruise, not just anyone with a fish extender.

Thanks, Tracy. So, how can you tell cruisers apart. Do they have 'DIS' (or similar) on their doors? This sounds like fun.

I've never been on a cruise either....and a fish extender?! But people have been posting explanations and by the time May is here, I think we will have some really clever "hanging thingies" on our cabin doors.

 

[DVCsince02]

I don't want to step on anyones toes, so I'll ask Pete and the gang if I can coordinate something. We do have a lot of time, but I can tell a lot of posters are like me and enjoy the early planning.

 

[DLBDS]

Hey Tracy...All of these folks leaving their kids behind got me thinkin' (Yeah, it does happen on occasion.) Anyway, for those of us with kids, will it be appropriate to bring them to the events/parties that are planned?

 

[UrsulasShadow]

Just remember, I'll be there. And I'm not always child-appropriate (even though I try to be...just ask my kids!)

 

[MenashaCorp]

Ursula's Pretty Scary Podcast Cruise? UPSPC? Is this a hard ticket event?

I'd better call in a voice mail and ask Kevin if this is worth the $!!

We usually have a list of DISnames and cabin numbers so we know who to deliver to.

I'm sure there will be events for everyone and I imagine there will be some for just the adults (bar crawl with Corey comes to mind). You may have a hard time getting your kids away from the kids club though

Just in case, do they have lockers in the kid's clubs??? My kids are actually really looking forward to the kids club. I hope they enjoy it.

Awesome! missed that one! And while we are one the subject...here's one I have saved for door decorating...

Who knew going on a cruise would be so much work???
(fish extenders and your participation is voluntary as are door signs - by no means are you required to do a door sign or fish extender to cruise with us!)

 

[Disneybridein2k3]

So now we are talking Fish Extenders, should we start a new thread to discuss participation Tracy? Or do we just keep it right on this thread? This will be the first time we've ever had enough people who had interest so I'm not sure how this all starts out. Either way, I'm game

Why don't we just use the list in post one? When we get closer to the cruise we can either opt to have me add the cabin numbers or we can provide a list in everyone's rooms as to who is with us.

I've thought about that - I'd have to find somewhere to charitably donate it (Since no exchanging ). Already going.

It just struck me (UPSPC) that it sounded like MVMCP/MNSSHP/P&PP, about which they get the same questions over...and over...and over...

Or you could, cancel the ressie you already have and rebook with the cruise you will supposedly win. Thereby saving your self some money which could be put towards buying your new DIs friends moegeetoes or covering the bail that you are planning on needing? Or buy Susan something really nice while in Nassau.

So many options here J-Kim!!!
