Fish Extenders?

[Bellies23]

Thanks to everyone who posted instructions on how to make a FE. I'm hoping to be part of FE this summer so I can now get busy making one.

Subscribing to this cool Thread. We have seen FEs on previous cruises and wondered about them. Now I know and I'm trying to get my wife (who sews) to help me create one.

I want one, if for no other reason to make our door ours and easier to find when weaving back to our room after those Martini tastings..

I see that the Dream has slightly narrower sides for the FE (or SHE if on the starboard side), anyone know what the new width is?

Well, our daddy/daughter project is coming along pretty well. We have the main body and the pockets are ready to go. My problem is attaching the pockets to the body. I used ultra hold 1" wide tape from Hobby Lobby and it just won't hold the pocket to the body. Started getting a little frustrated so we are taking a little break. I don't really want to sew it but I will if I have to. Anyone have an idea on a really good bonding tape to hold the materials together without sewing?

at Hobby Lobby they carry a couple of kinds of glue products. i think the kind i bought was called "liquid stitch". i didn't use any other adhesive and made my whole fish extender! hope that helps a bit!

Ok, so my family and I are going to be participating with the FE's on our cruise in June. What I'm wondering is are we supposed to leave a gift for each person in the family or one gift per family or how does it work?

How 'bout just a hot glue gun?

I asked the same thing recently on our cruise thread and was told that some people do a gift per state room and some do per person. So whatever you think is best!

I would say that it really depends on what gifts you give. I am planning on doing little things for each of the kiddos and then a gift or two that would be for both parents. Good luck.

I've read through many of these pages, but am still unclear on one thing: do I include a 'from tag' to my gift FE's so everyone knows it's from me or keep it anonymous?

Working on my gifts today and getting excited for our first cruise!

I believe it's up to you if you want to put a "from tag". I always do. I think that half did and half didn't on our last cruise. I liked knowing who gave us all the wonderful things.

So I haven't been on a cruise yet (5 weeks to go), but from everything that I have read, I would say the majority of people will include a from tag. You certainly don't have to. Happy cruising!

This thread is very helpful! We are cruising for the first time in 2012...Waiting for the Dream to release the dates for Oct. 2012 so we can book! I can't wait to get a FE!

I completely agree.

I completely agree.

Used to live in Denver (Wadsworth/Hamden), and yes to far to drive but at only quick airplane ride and you guys have all the skiing/hiking you want. I wish we had the nice bike trails out here that you do in Denver.

I grew up in Colorado, but moved to Florida when I was 18. Lived in Ocala for 6 years. I had to move back to CO. I missed my mountains too much. I think that Fl is a great vacation destination, but I love my home.

I am looking forward to participating in my cruise's FE

1st disney cruise in May! I really like the FE idea!
Ok, so we only pick ONE day to distribute gifts?? Heck, I've got enough collected to give EVERY day! lol. My boys are so excited about doing this. It's kinda like the neighborhood "game" we play at Halloween time: 'You've been spooked'. We fill a ghost bucket full of treats and dollar store toys; with a special poem. We pick 2 or 3 houses and knock on their door, drop the bucket off, and run like the wind. lol
(sometimes we hide behind a tree and watch the smiles when the kids find the bucket of goodies on their doorstep)

The way it is run is more or less up to the folks involved on the meet thread/FE group and what someone makes the "rules" or everyone agrees on. My last cruise I delivered two different days and some delivered a little something everyday, some only once. We left it up to individuals but did have days planned out for each person that they picked. We did this to try and make sure the kids (or adults) always had something to come back to. It worked out awesome pretty much having no "rules".
