Welcome to the Fish Extender Exchange for the July 21-25, 2013 Dream Bahamas 4 Night Cruise!
This is my first FE - so bear with me
But I think it's time for us to start planning.
For those who are new to this 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 extender pockets. It's a lot of fun, not just for kids.
If you'd like to join, please post the following information and be sure to subscribe to this thread to receive updates:
-- DISboard username
-- Cabin # (if you know it already)
-- First names of those participating, ages and gender of kids
-- Any special cruise celebrations, food allergies, etc
If you are uncomfortable posting any of the personal information, you can simply say whatever you are comfortable with.
As families join, we can create a master list of our group via google doc, etc.
As far as the gifts... you can either give one gift to each cabin, or a gift to each person in the cabin. You can give gifts a few times throughout the cruise or just once. It is the thought that counts. There are no hardcore rules regarding gifts (no minimum or maximum dollar value). Gifts can be homemade or storebought, Disney, non-Disney, totally up to you!
Since we are just getting started we can decide later when our group should close in order to allow everyone plenty of time to get everything together, but likely sometime around mid June 2013. 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.
