Fish Extenders?

[JMJ3553]

I forgot to come back and post pics of my fish extender... so far... I still have finishing touches, but I am so proud of it

Also approx. how much is it to ship a box to your stateroom. I know there will be differences depending on where you live, but I was just looking for a round about price??

You have the right to be proud. Looks nice.
I take the the letters are the person's first initial?

Yep... I have a Mickey wizard head to say our family name... the wizard to match the stars... it was somebody's suggestion on here and I love it!

Great job! I love to be crafty, but I'm not a seamstress. I decided to buy one so that I had one less thing to stress about!

Good for you!

On the Dream, there are Fish (Port side), Sea Horses (Starboard side) and Starfish (Conceirge level). I think this was to help folks who get lost find at least the side of the ship they are on faster. I like it and kinda wish they would add Sea Horses to the Classic ships.

Thanks for helping to clear this up! I think that it is a great idea to help you out. Now to just figure right and left!

just remember the old sayings:

First Star to the Right.

Don't get Left at the Port.

Good one! Let's just see if I can remember that as my DD goes flying out the door because she knows which way to go! LOL

Thanks for the tip!

I can tell you that our Post Office said it could take up to two weeks normally or priority mail..probably around $15.00. But a great friend on these boards checked UPS and for 5lbs I think it's $12. and then for 10lbs it's $14.00! And they insure each box for $100. And track it and let you know when it gets there! So I am definitely sending my two boxes down UPS.! And we live in MS but close to TN!

Hope this helps!

Hmmm... that is not too bad. My mom was trying to tell me it was going to be pricey, but she often pretends to know to everything

We almost always ship a box or two down for our stays at WDW.

The key to getting the least expensive shipping with UPS is to do it far enough in advance to use their ground service. I see that you are in NYC, we are in NJ not far out side the city, so we are in the same zone. You have to allow for 3 days in transit.

I just did a quick search at UPS.com. You can ship 10 lbs for about $14 and 20 lbs for about $17.50. If you give it to them today it will get there by close of business on Tuesday.

I also think that the flat rate post office boxes are good if you don't have that much stuff.

I am interested in finding out how you join a fish extender group? I am cruising Jan 21-jan 28, 2012. I am surprising my oldest son with a disney cruise for his 13th birtday which is on jan. 22. I would love to be a part of the fish extender group. It sounds like so much fun!

Go to the "meet" thread for your cruise. You can usually find out in there if they are organizing one.

So is this just for DVC members only? Or can everyone participate? And also, do all stateroom levels have the fish??

Gotta love newbies

Not just for DVC members! Anyone (even first time cruisers like me!) can participate or even organize the FE


AFAIK, the only exception to the "fish" are concierge on the Dream since the area is "gated"

So I made my FE today.

I'm going on the 9/20 Wonder repositioning cruise with my best friend Donna. Our husbands are going to Palm Springs for a week of golf and since neither one of us golf, we decided to cruise instead.

I thought it turned out really nice. I found all of the items I needed at either Joann's or Michael's. Total cost 14 dollars. I sewed the FE ( I'm not a seamstress, but do do machine quilting and I do have a very nice machine ). I do not embroider, so I purchased Disney Scrapbooking items at the above stores and glued them on.

So give it a try... I'm glad I did. The ones on ETSY and EBAY are great. But I saved over $30, enjoyed making it and it's ORIGINAL.

I love the swirly/sparkly blue material!

Great job. I love the home made ones better than the ones you can buy. I know the purchased ones are usually nicer than most of the home made versions, but there's a lot of saticfaction in making your own. My daughter and I are finishing up ours that we did together. She loved the idea from the get go and I'm the Disney freak in our house. So it's been a great Daddy/Daughter project for our cruise in October.

Way to go!!!
