Welcome to the Fish Extender Exchange for the January 18-25, 2014 Fantasy Western Caribbean 7 Night Cruise!
Fish Extender (FE) - This is a fun "game" that is like a Secret Santa type idea. A Fish Extender (FE) itself is a pocket panel/bag you hang from the fish shaped hook outside your stateroom. Families that join the FE group hang the Fish Extender outside their cabin and then, as the cruise is underway, participants deliver little gifts to the others participating in the group by leaving them as a surprise in the fish extenders. Who doesn't love presents it's a ton of fun, not just for kids.
Participating in the Fish Extender Gift Exchange will be limited to those who sign up PRIOR to 6 weeks before the cruise. This is to encourage participation in the thread and to lessen the last-minute sign-ups which could happen. It also gives everyone adequate time to prepare supplies.
This means the deadline to sign up is: Saturday, December 7th.
Guidelines for our fish extender:
1. All gifts are to be delivered between the cruise leaving port on Saturday, January 18th until 4 PM on Friday, Jaunary 24th. This gives people time to still be able to pack their bags before we leave the ship the morning of January 25th.
2. As far as the gifts... you can either give one gift to each cabin, or a gift to each person in the cabin. It is the thought that counts. There are no strict rules regarding gifts (no minimum or maximum dollar value). Gifts can be homemade or storebought, Disney, non-Disney, totally up to you!
3. Please feel free to attach your DISboards name to your gift so we can know who to thank ☺
To take part in the FE, please PM wenuwish/Rhiannon or Meganyvemarie/Megan the following information or just post it in the thread below
-DISboard name
-stateroom number
-name of adults and children (gender and ages) in the cabin
-any other pertinent information i.e., celebrations, allergies, and anything else you want us to know
-your email address...I will email the final list to all participants.
If you are uncomfortable posting any of the personal information, you can simply say whatever you are comfortable with.
After the sign up deadline of December 7th, I will complete the list and email all participants a copy. Then youll know how many FE gifts to prepare with the cabin number of where to deliver it.
If you upgrade at the port changes can be made to everyones final copies at the meet and greet on embarkation day.

If we end up having a over-abundance of folks who want to participate, we can decide if we want to split the group into smaller subgroups.
Please post any questions, concerns or tips about FE below ☺
