Fish Extender Exchange Info:
This is meant to be a fun exchange and getting to know each other. Please do not feel as though you have to do something expensive or extravagant. Just have fun!

More Information about the Fish Extender:

Cabins may deliver any day of the cruise they want.
2. Sign-ups for the Fish Extender are open now and will close 5/30/14

3. Google Docs:
I am keeping a spreadsheet with all FE information on Google Docs https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgSbT4iAdSyBdHVucFhOVzY4MXMwbFFYVDQ0MGJLX1E&usp=sharing
This option makes updating easy, and the spreadsheet can be printed easily for those that carry a check off sheet when delivering. The Google doc will also have map of each deck of the ship included and the location of each cabin in the FE marked prior to departure.

Never to early to start. And I am twitching to see if a Fish Extender Swap will start!

I think I am sad no one has replied yet.. Maybe it's to far out?

Hi! I don't think it's too far out, but there is no link to the cruise on the meeting page -- and I'm not really sure how to do that. We did this same cruise this year, and will have my mom and niece with us this time. I love the idea of a fish extender but have no experience with organizing one. Any suggestions??

I know we can start an FE group here or on FB.. but we have to wait for a mod to either make this the official thread for this cruise, or to make one themselves..

 

[IrishCowboy]

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list
Have a great cruise!

 

[Srhymes]

Ok - I'm in for the fish extender group but don't have a lot of experience. I'll also sign into the facebook page. Is it ok if I send the FB link to my mom as well?

Hi there! DH and I (Kevin - 41 and Robin - 40, no kids) just booked this cruise onboard when we were on the Dream a couple weeks ago. Glad to see a thread/possible FE exchange/possible FB group started.

As of now, we're in a Cat. 4E balcony cabin for the July 13 cruise, and then switch to a concierge cabin for this cruise. It was actually cheaper to do that than go on a 7-night on the Fantasy with no concierge, and the Sunday/Thursday departures are better for our schedule (we'll be down in Orlando for a bat mitzvah on July 12, which is a Saturday). We're hoping we can find something to do in Port Canaveral on Thurs between the two cruises.

We'd only been on one other Disney cruise before (the Magic way back in 1998), but have cruised a few times on royal caribbean, celebrity, and once on norwegian (and never again).

The Dream cruise a couple weeks ago was our first FE experience and we loved it. We had a facebook page for that cruise and met up a lot - a bunch of us got together every night, and it was a blast. Others only popped in once or twice, or not at all, and that was ok, too. Anyway, I would totally be interested in doing the FE exchange again, and participating in a FB group. I'm hesitant to be the organizer because if we can upgrade the 4-night July 13 cruise to concierge, we might end up cancelling this one (I'm guessing not, but two cruises back-to-back is way more than we usually spend on vacation, so it's a consideration).

Since I am just off the Dream, if you have any questions, just ask!

ok, i give up. what's TMSM? i'm too old for all these acronyms. do you have a link to the facebook page?

we really want to do another FE, too, so i hope traffic on here picks up as the cruise gets closer!

Hi,

My DD (11) and I will be on this cruise. This is her 6th and my 7th Disney cruise. We would love to be part of the FE group. This is always a highlight of our trip. Can you give me the link to FB?
thanks

 

[autumnl78]

Ok sooo.. is the ship empty when we sail, or are people just focusing on the holidays and that's why we only have 3 or 4 groups saying they are going?

Hi! My husband and I, along with his sister, her husband, and my nephew and nice, will all be on this cruise. We are all first timers and want to do fish extenders. Any helpful tips?

 

[karmacats]

we ended up having to reschedule for october, so we won't be on here in july after all. have a great cruise everyone!

 

[karoandtigger]

Found y'all. Going on this cruise with my Daughter (SandyR), her family & hopefully another of the grand-daughters. Looking forward to it. This is my first Disney Cruise. Just as soon as I get settled from the move I'm about to make in a month, I'll start concentrating on things like FE gifties and other fun stuff.

hugs,
karen

There are some AWESOME FE gift groups on FB that share craft ideas for those work make their gifts, or sell items for those that would rather buy gifts. Oriental Trader is a good option too..

Daisy did you get the private message I sent you through Disboards?
