Fish Extenders?

[Linden Lady]

We are 1st time disney "cruisers". 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 ghostly poem. We pick 2 or 3 houses and knock on their door, drop the bucket off, and run like the wind. lol

I was just thinking how many different FE do you own? Do you use the same one on each cruise or do you get a new one? Just curious.
I have 2 different ones but I have to say they are addictive as I keep seeing ones that I like!

I ordered one on etsy from Stitches and Bows. Just got an e-mail saying it is in the mail! I'll let you know how it turned out!

New to this as well. Do you find out in advance how many people you have to hand out gifts to, their age etc. I just want to make sure that I have enough items.
Thanks

this is my first time running a FE I made a list on our thread that would tell you how many people or families , age , stateroom if they have it , and any allergies to candy or food . if anyone does not get there stateroom too last minute i will pm them and tell them i will have a master list in an envolope sealed in my FE waiting for them and they would have to leave there stateroom # for me . if im correct

ATTENTION:

just back from our first cruise on the Magic and LOVED the FE!

HOWEVER: PLEASE PLEASE make sure that your pockets are big enough on your FE...some of our gifts BARELY stayed in and were ripe for the picking by any sticky-fingered passers-by...


as a matter of fact, one of our FE participants only received 5 of the anticipated 14 (?) gifts..we, with an off-the-beaten-path room and BIG pocket, got ALL of 'em......

Etsy FE's were ADORABLE but seemed to be generally SMALL

you guys do whatever makes you happy. Just sharing my opinion and you know what THAT'S worth

 

[nejjie]

Ugh.. so you think other people took their goodies? that is such a shame

Thank you for the info. I did notice the FE on etsy were tiny - guess it is worth the money to just get a nice big one. I think that is what I will do and will not personalize it so we can reuse or sell if we plan to buy a new one for each cruise LOL.

Has anyone asked their stateroom host or hostess to bring in their gifts if they see the bags are getting full?

I am also now wondering if we need to adjust ours, we made one for our short two day cruise that worked well for it......it was made out of what were originally intended as large Disney pencil pouches and shoe strings from the $0.99 store.

Here is a picture:

I would like opinons on this, we are doing a 7 day cruise, but we will probably empty them 2 or 3 times a day.

That actually sounds like a good idea...I wonder if they'll do it? That's my worry -- someone will snag the FE gifts...

If they do, I would suggest a little extra tip would be in order.

after reading above post i think i'm going to have to add something bag wise to hang on each side of my FE . because i do not think my pockets are big enough now .
here is the link of my home made FE i do not know how to post it on a thread .

Thanks for all the great information.

 

[Heyriddle]

The directions were very helpful. We are almost done making ours.

 

[Pixie Naseweis]

Our FE is ready, too. And I do not like the idea of "sticky fingers". But I do not want to think about every minute. Perhaps there should be a kind of "neighbourhood watch"?
Have fun!
