Disneycruiseobsessed - welcome to the thread!

We're under 6 weeks away from our Med. cruise and we're getting so excited about it. I decided to join the blog-craze and do a blog for our prep and then do our trip report there for family and friends who don't read DIS. Here the link if you're interested. I've so enjoyed reading the blogs of other Med. travelers.

And I'm excited about knowing we have this Christmas Cruise to look forward to once we get home from the Med. cruise. When we planned the Med. Cruise, it was 15 months in advance - which seemed ages and ages away -- but it's gone by much faster than I ever would have expected. When we come back, we'll be 17 months from the Christmas Cruise and I hope it goes by quickly too!

nzdisneymom-I'm so jealous you are able to do the Med. cruise. That sounds like a great trip. We will be visiting Paris this summer and are taking a trip to Disneyland Paris so it will be interesting to see the differences between the American parks and Paris. I hope you have a great cruise!

bump! don't want us forgotten even though we are so far away!

nzdisneymom · Jun 26, 2007

We'll be leaving soon for our Med. Cruise and when we first started planning it, it was so far away. When we get back, our next focus will be on this cruise which will be another 17 months, but the time really does go fast! I'm excited about being on-board for Christmas, and I've already alerted my boss that I will be taking off that week in 2008! She laughed and told me to put it on the calendar.

You're going to have so much fun on the Med cruise! Time does seem to fly because it seems like yesterday they were just announcing the Med cruises!

I'm anxious for this cruise since we don't have any cruises planned between now and then, but I really can't wait to be onboard for Christmas!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Ok, it's too late for me to make a Fish Extender for our upcoming cruise, but there's plenty of time for our MAGICal Christmas 2008 Cruisers to do this -- have y'all seen this thread / participated in this kind of thing before? We're doing a modified version for our upcoming cruise, but I love this idea and think it would be so fun to do for this group!

Anyone made a fish extender before or have one? I'm lovin' it and think I might have some fabric already that I could use.

Hey Cindy - you see that picture in that thread that you posted, the one with the pink "fish extender"? That just happens to be my door from our 2005 DVC cruise. I was shocked to see my picture on that thread way back when it started. :rotfl2:

So, we definitely have a fish extender. :cheer2:

nzdisneymom · Jul 6, 2007

How cool! I love that whole idea and want to make one!

We have that same fish extender, I'm planning on modifing it somehow to make it Christmas-y for our cruise!!

Too funny, Amy!!!

We also have the same one, except my boys would have had a riot if I bought it in pink :eek:

, so it's blue.

I believe that someone (Lisa - lbgraves??) who sailed on a Christmastime Cruise hung stockings at their door instead of the regular fish extender. :santa:

Cindy, if you check out ebay, there use to be a seller -- mrslips -- that's where I believe Amy, Diana & I know I got mine. If you did a search on Disney wall organizers, you might be able to find one. Here's a current listing now:

For anyone who might decide to hang anything from their fish on the ship, here's the best tip of all. Make sure you attach it to your fish with a zip tag (you know those things that are indistructable, which attach toys to the box). This is something that was suggested to us on our first cruise as sometimes things have a tendency to disappear if not secured. :sad2:

What's funny is that I've never zip-stripped mine to the fish. And, no one has ever messed with it. But, the last several trips we were in one of the SPH rooms, so there's a lot less traffic on those hallways. :woohoo:
