Fish Extenders?

[Tammyepolytinkfan]

Tammyepolytinkfan- Are you taking ORDERS ?

I actually had it made from a seller on ebay graddysmommy. I bought all the pirate themed fabric and she did the design I wanted. She is excellent. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Gradysmommy on ebay too. She's done FE's and pillowcases for myself and other friends in the past. Very easy to work with and very professional quality. If you're not a seamstress (like me), I am willing to pay for quality! Worked great on our last cruise and getting ready to use it again! In fact, I use it in my laundry room for little odds and ends in between cruises!

I got ours from Bonnysews on Ebay...

She added our names and got it to me in about two weeks. I was very satisfied with both price and service.

I noticed there were a couple who made personalized FEs.

You will be able to hang your FE over the clip (there are 3 or 4 different sea creature clips on the new ships), and since the cabin number is repeated on the door, the number can be covered with your FE.

The "code scanner" is actually the cabin number in braille (the first character is #) - so if you don't have any blind travelers in your group, that can be covered, too.

With a long zip tie you will be able to wrap around the back of the fish clip and catch the ribbon or string on your FE - pull tight and trim off the extra.

Have fun planning your FE and your cruise!

Cruising on Fantasy... noticed pics of Dream and not sure if the fish are similar enough for FE to hang or the code scanner thing? Can that scanner thing be covered by fabric? I am new to all of this...

Also, can someone explain how and where you would attach zip ties on the FE to prevent a rare occurring or possibility of being torn off or stolen? I have also read where people used fish line as well to tie them into their rooms? Like I said, new to all of this, but looking forward to it!

Just read somewhere that on the Dream

Port cabins have the FISH
Starboard cabins have the SEAHORSE

So, I'm guessing the STARFISH might be on the middle of the ship inside cabins????

And we are waiting to find out and brainstorming how those in concierge rooms can participate in FE. It is gated off to the rest of the cruisers so people (from the information as of now) will not be able to deliver FE gifts to those in concierge. If anyone hears of anything different or new on this...please advise. Thanks!

I'm about as "uncrafty" as they come....so I have a friend that will be making a Fish Extender for our March cruise.

I want to get an idea of the sizes people have used. I'll need something at the top and then three pockets. Any info you can share would be great.

While not totally uncrafty, I'm sufficiently disabled that irons and sewing machines are not good ideas for me--for very little money (about $5) I found a child's apron on Ebay with a Cars theme that looks like it will make a perfect Fish Extender--that's what I'm going to use.

We too are going on our first cruise and i am excited about making my FE.

 

[maggie blossom]

Do I need to put our names on ths pockets of the FE? Or does it suffice to just have enough pockets?

I am thinking people might want to know which pocket to put the gift for the child in but I really dont' want all our names on our door.

Silly city-girl I geuss

Is it okay just to have blank pockets and we sort out the goodies ourselves?

From what I have read elsewhere, having a non-personalized FE might make it a little more likely to walk off.

Of course you can go with a blank one.. many of our gifts had the person's name on the little bag or whatever....

i am signed up on the "meet board" but haven't heard anything since..

This thread helped me make my fish extender. It's not prefect but it did the job.

Wow!! While browsing through this discussion thread, I came across your post with the photo showing the stateroom #6547! That number rang a bell in my head, so I went back through my Disney cruising history and figured out that we were in 6547 on our very FIRST Disney cruise on 08/31/02. 7 nights on the Disney Magic! It's strange how a number can bring back so many great memories! lol!

You have to sign up to participate in the gift exchange in order to receive the gifts that are placed in the Fish Extenders. It might be too late to sign up as people usually spend a long time getting little gifts ready. Something to think about for your next Disney Cruise, though. Have a fun time! Stay warm.

Here's mine so far. We ran out of embroidery bobbin thread so I have to make the rest as patches. Captain Mickey goes on the blue pocket and Sailor Minnie on the red. Then at the bottom I'm going to embroider our voyages. The top says "Setting sail on a Wonderful Magical Fantastic Dream"
