Hi

I am just wondering if anyone can tell me about the Pirate night? When does it start? is there a special dinner, we planned to eat at PALO that night but I just realized that its the pirate night? Should I switch it? We bought the kids some cute costumes to wear.

I filled out the fish extenders form again to include my kiddos names, Gianna and Aidan. I know that some people want to personalize so that's really nice. I do have some questions, do I choose a family or do I buy for all the families who signed up? Also what are some suggestions for gifts?

Thank you and very excited!!!
Princess Nina

Hi Nina,

You can give 1 family gift for each family or you can give individual gifts to each person on our list. Up to you. Only one time not every day. I googled fish extender gifts and looked it up on pinterest they have many ideas.

I have never been to the pirates party, but my kids went several years ago with their grandparents and now that I am taking my grandchildren they told me to make sure we don't miss it. So I am guessing it is a lot of fun. I am sure someone else can fill you in better.

Hi,

My kids and I just went on the Fantasy and saw the fish extenders. We are very interested in participating in the FE while on the Magic. Is this something that we sign up for? My 11 year old son, 13 year old daughter, friend, and myself will be on this trip.

welcome everyone!!! I am so sorry for being so hard to reach! My boyfriend moved in with us right before Christmas and we have been trying to fit two adult's furnishing in to one home with two children since then! It's been non-stop work... so worth it! But a lot of work and I apologize because I haven't been on email, facebook or the DIS at all during that time. I am exhausted! So glad to be back at work! sitting at a desk! OK, Heidi, list is coming - I really am sorry. And if we get more people, I will send it again to you. Just keep buggin me to do it. I need the reminders! And for everyone still looking for the link here it is again top take the survey - please put your kids names in if you want to:

 

[castlegazer]

MagicCreator and VT Family, Hopefully this morning you got the link sent to you with the spreadsheet.

Let me know if you don't see it.

welcome aboard!

heading over to facebook now.....

Oh, and I don't have a cut off date set at all.

We talked about mid January.

what do you guys think?

Grandmak and I wanted to get the group larger so let it be open longer and see what happens, but that's up to everyone participating if you want to let people join right up till the end.

My gifts are a little complicated, but not bad to do additional ones at the last minute.

LAPig, I went in and added your children's names for you. I am not sure why you can't edit.

I am getting frustrated with Google Docs! I thought this would be the way to go, but it doesn't work very well for everyone - thanks Google Sorry for everyone's frustration!

 

[castlegazer]

Here are the counts thus far for the Fish Extender Exchange (this will help you make sure your count is correct and to help decide on a cabin gift or individual gifts for everyone):

There are:

13 Cabins Participating

27 Adults

8 Boys under the age of 13

11 girls under the age of 13

2 teens (1 girl and 1 boy)

21 children altogether ​

Have fun everyone!!!

 

[castlegazer]

Princess Nina,

You are listed twice on the spreadsheet. Grandmakk just caught this.

You have two different cabins down.

Do you want me to edit this?

What is the correct cabin number if you don't mind me asking here?

I see what happened. You filled it out twice. But the cabin number is wrong in one of them. Just let me know which one to use and I will edit it.

I think mid January sounds good. I'd just like to have a time where I know I have everything set.

 

[castlegazer]

That sounds good. I will look at the calendar and set a date with everyone some time mid January.

 

[grandmakk]

How about closing it on the 17th. That puts us 1 month out. That should be enough time for everyone to get their gifts together.

 

[Gfgirl]

Sounds good! I started packing today-well, laying some things out anyway!!

I started right after Christmas. Just set a box out and add things as I think of them. Not sure who is more excited the adults or the kids?? lol

Sounds good!

I too have a pile laid out of the stuff we take on cruises and I organized our summer stuff by putting the cruise wear on top of the boxes when I put it away for the season. So packing should be quick and easy.
