Hi everyone

I just wanted to remind everyone that selling is prohibited on the DIS, and you will receive an infraction if you do so. Helping others is great, but once it goes beyond help and information to the point of hinting at selling, then it must be deleted and an infraction given..

Thanks for everyone's understanding..


1. FOR SALE For sale ads are strictly prohibited on any of the DISboards. Anyone posting such ads will have their post deleted. This same policy applies to links to your ebay/auction listings .

You can buy the dowels at any craft store. Also, you can buy Mickey fabric at Joann's. We got all the stuff there and it took me about 20 minutes to put together one with 3 pockets, and then about 1 day to let the paint dry. (We used the paint pens to write our names.) It is a great craft for the kids.

Thanks for the info.....I will check our local fabric store and arts and crafts stores for the Mickey Heads.

I hope this insn't highjacking your thread, it seemed to fit with a few other posts here. Thanks!!

We're going on the DCL April 3. I'm interested in the Fish Extenders, it sounds like a lot of fun. Do you get together a group prior to the trip or just meet those interested on the cruise? That leads to my next question, how many gifts do you typically bring? It looks like some bring little items from the dollar store, any other ideas that people have received that you enjoyed.

Nothing fancy, but here is my no sew FE. I see it is not as long as most. I still need to add ribbon or cord at the top to hang it by.

love it! are the MIckey and Minnie iron ons? If so, how long did it take you to cut them out?

Yes, they are iron ons of pictures from the magnet thread. They did take a few minutes to cut out...kept trimming here and there to get them to look good...but not more than 5 minutes. I had a snow day from school, it was nice to work on something for my cruise!

It all becomes part of your dismeet that you organize with the people on your cruise. Look under the dismeet thread and find the cruise you are on, and then someone will take charge and create a list of all the people who will have the extenders. From there, you can buy little trinkets that you leave in the "mail boxes." We received pens, pencils, candy, postcards, balls, gum, stickers, pirate stuff, and other really nice goodies. Our son ran down the hall each day to see what was in it. I went out on Thurs, and delivered ours.

Have fun.

I would love to try this, but don't know where to get these other than WDW. Do they sell them at the Disney Store in the mall? How much are they?

Tiffany

not expensive, few $; at most; i've seen them @ our disneystore - might have on disneyshopping site

know they have them on ebay now & again & some of the sites that sell disney park stuff (at markup )

fyi, you can buy nearly anything you want that they sell in the parks (as long as you know what you want lol) by calling WDW direct
407-363-6200 or wdw.mail.order@disneyworld.com, they do add S&H

Im trying to find one of these on ebay, and try as I might, none of the sellers seem to know that in reality, they ARE fish extenders! What keywords should I be searching for?

Seeing as I have over 7 months until my cruise, no hurry to get it done but I am already looking for fabrics.

gift exchange with the FE question....

Our cruise meet is talking about doing the FE gift exchange but we are stymied on the logistics of it. Those of you who have done an organized exchange how did you organize it?

Did you settle on a list of days:

Day 1 - gift representing home state
Day 2 - gift of X variety...
Day 3 - gift of Y variety...
etc. etc.

Or did you leave it up to chance and hope everyone got a fair shake?
I know these things can be as elaborate or as simple as you want. We were just trying to figure out what to present as guidelines for the exchange. Highly organized or kismet? Any ideas anyone?

I sent you a pm explaining the way our tag game ran last year. Hope it helps.

cntkg1 - I'd love to know the logistics. I've kinda gotten the 30 of us into this fishy mess without a thought as to how I'm supposed to carry it out.
