We're going on this cruise and are super excited! There will be nine of us--three generations. The children are girls 3 & 9 and a 12 year old boy.

Good Morning!
Very excited to meet you guys!
This will be our first cruise and we have a group of I think 23 of us! Kids range from 2-17. If you have cruised before, any good tips you would like to share? Sorry I did not respond sooner Ammapeg!

Anyone know if there is a Fish Extender group yet? Is anyone interested?

I am interested also. Doesn't appear anyone has started to collect information. I would love to do fish extenders.

 

[BarrilliFamily]

We want to do the fish extenders also. But I haven't seen anything started yet.

Anyone of you could start one if you wish! You just need someone to maintain the list of those who wish to participate. The group can decide on what information is necessary to produce FE gifts. A basic list may only have DISname/room number/number of people in the room. A more involved list could be first & last names/ages/room number/favorite character/favorite color/allergies/whatever is deemed necessary to know. Also a decision can be made as to size of FE. Some groups break out the list(s) at 10-15 rooms max, so that there are multiple lists (and some people will participate in more than one list). Other groups just make one big list (upwards of 20-30 rooms).

At some point the list will "close". Typically this happens 30-45 days out from the cruise, so that everyone participating has time to organize/prepare their gifts. Shortly before this time (about 2-3 weeks prior) the organizer will either post the list (usually via a conversation is best, as that's more private) to confirm everyone on it is still participating. And making a statement about "anyone not confirming by XX date will be dropped".

Once the list closes, the organizer will post the final list. Also, a decision must be made as to whether to allow late additions. Sometimes there is a "pixie dust" list. That is, basically, a latecomers list that gets posted about a week out from the cruise that others may or may not add to their "final" list. Be sure the "pixie dust" list participants realize they may or may not get gifts from others.

The other "biggie" is no other social media sites are allowed to be linked or search directions posted as to how find that other site here on DISboards.

Tina - you can't have a conversation (what PMs are called here) unless you have at least 10 posts. And anyone else who wants to converse with you will also need 10 posts. I'd suggest you (as well as anyone else interested in participating in the Fish Extender group) head over to the Test Board and up your post count, so that you are reachable via conversations.

See post #12 (just up from here). It has a description of how to "organize" a Fish Extender exchange.

Lol I don't know even know how to PM people

PMs (called Conversations here) are only available to those who have at least 10 posts. To start a conversation, click on a person's avatar and there's a "Start a Conversation" link there. You can converse with up to 20 people at a time.

[wdw_monster]

So... I started a thread so everyone who wishes to can sign up for the FE. Now I've never done this before but I'm trying lol.
