***This group is now closed to new sign-ups***

Hello Everyone.

I have gone ahead and started a FE group for the March 15th 7 Night Western on the Fantasy.

The main cruise thread for this cruise can be found HERE
The main facebook group for this cruise can be found HERE


And now to the good stuff,

What is a Fish Extender you ask?

Every stateroom has a fish hanging on the wall outside the door. This is part decoration and part message center. The fish is there for Disney to place important communications to you such as excursion tickets and notes from the Cruise staff. It is like a mailbox for your room.

On the DISboards discussion forums, it is very popular to participate in a Fish Extender exchange. This entails having a fish extender hanging off the fish outside your room. If you aren't sure how the exchange works or the size and shape of a fish extender be sure to visit the links below. A fish extender can be made of cloth, plastic or vinyl. It can be very creative or very simple. If you don't care to create your own Fish Extender, you will find many auctions on EBay where one can be customized for you.

All the people in the exchange buy little items and place them in each other's fish extenders. It is great fun to come back and check the items you have received.

FE Gift Ideas

How its going to work for our Cruise.

We will except signups until a date to be determined by popular vote (Feb 1st 2014). This will give people time to create gifts for everyone by the sail date. Gifts can be given to each individual person or to a cabin as a whole. It's really up to you.

I will create a pdf file that I will distribute to everyone with all the details needed to great and deliver your gifts. ( I can post it here if people are confortable with that, or just on the facebook page, or even on my stateroom door to be picked up on the cruise ) My vote is I'll keep an updated list and map here in post 2, but I'm open to feedback.

How to Join

If you'd like to join, please post the following information and be sure to subscribe to this thread to receive updates, you can also join us on the cruise facebook page Here.

-- DISboard username
-- Cabin # (if you know it already)
-- First names of those participating, ages and gender of kids

If you are uncomfortable posting any of the personal information, you can simply say whatever you are comfortable with. You should pm me with your details and specify what you want to keep private and what you don't mind being posted in this thread. A PDF file with all information will be shared with the group only, once the list is finalized.

Thats all I can think of for now, please speak up with anything you might want to add.

Hi,

I am a bit uncertain about posting so much info on the public DIS boards? I know it's just DIS names but its still a lot if info that can be accessed by anyone at all? Am I paranoid?

The first FE group I was in they just messaged the FE info to a central organizer who kept a list. Eventually almost everyone moved to Facebook where the list could be seen in more privacy. Those who did not wish to join FB were sent copies of the final list by email.

My FE group this year posted an excel file on google docs? and anyone in the private meet group could go and add their info and edit it as needed. The families not in FB were sent the link in a private message on the DIS board.



two FE groups I joined had the FE info as an editable
 

I did want to say, though, that I really like your explaining the whole FE game and providing such useful information. Very well thought out!

Are you paranoid? That's not a question I'm willing to answer, lol. But regardless you're aloud to be and that's why I said post whatever your comfortable with. I posted my info as an example of what info I'm looking for and I also don't have an issue with that info being public.

I will be making a pdf checklist that will be posted here (limited info) and on facebook (full list). If there is info you don't want public, but you want the group to have it, just specify what info you don't mind being public. (I think the minimum for this thread should be Dis Names, Amount of people, and adults versus kids) and pm it to me.

I won't be making a user editable doc but I will always have an updated document posted on facebook with all the info, and then a scaled down version with whatever users are comfortable with here. (not everyone is going to want to use facebook).

So go ahead and PM me the info, and specify what you want to keep private (relatively speaking as we still have to share it with the FE group) and we will make sure the info your willing to share gets to the right people.

Does that relieve your worries?

Hey Debbie,

Do you want me to add you as 2 cabins and split the adults and kids? This way if someone does cabin gifts you kinda get 2 instead of sharing 1 over more people. Or do I group you as a single family?

Let me know your thoughts?

One cabin only please. Thanks! We'll have the FE hanging on one door only. Thanks for asking though!
