momdislover,
I pasted below the info from the other posts. The Home Depot paint chip would just be put on you in such a way that it would be visual when joining the meet. This way when we gather for a brief meet before the safety drill, we easily see that we are with the people we are trying to meet. (see info below)
For the fish extender event you would buy a small trinket/gift for each child participating and put them into the fish extenders whenever you want during the cruise. I think one round is enough. You would PM me your deck, room number so that I can compile the list. Around 2 week before the cruise I will pm or email the complete list to all participants. I will send a final list one week prior in case of changes. Here is the current update of participants including your son:
Jerseybelle dd10
Whamma ds10 and dd5
Stellamb ds9
MS DIS FANS ds12 and ds10
momdislover ds9
REPEATING INFO FROM EARLIER POSTS:
1. Fish Extenders
Making another "Management Decision" Fish Extenders
From reading the posts I gather that several families want to participate in the Fish Extenders but there doesn't seem to be anyone with experience organizing it. I have read several posts throughout the board about these activities but never participated. I am willing to organize it; however I am leaning towards keeping it simple. Here is how I define simple:
1. I don't think it should be an every day activity. No one wants to run around to 20+ staterooms dropping off small gifts for 7 days. I think one round is enough and can be on whatever day works best for the family.
2. Each family participating should bring one trinket/gift for each child participating. No one wants to add a whole lot of more items to their already over packed luggage.
3. No kids? You can still participate.
4. Instead of trying to assign categories to each family (so that your child doesn't get 20 princess notepads), why don't we just try to purchase a variety of items. If you wish, send a message on this cruise meet when you have purchased items and provide a general description of your purchase so that purchasers after you will know.
If you have anything to add, I would like to hear from you. Anyone wishing to participate, send me a private message (PM) (I don't think room numbers should be just listed on the disboard). I will compile the information and forward the complete list to all participants around two week prior to the cruise with a final list one week prior to sailing if there are any late joiners.
Include the following in your PM:
a. Age and gender of the children who will participate (it is not necessary to give names if you would rather not). Just use dd and ds (Disney Daughter/Disney Son) and their age. (ie dd10)
b. Your deck and room number. If you are a GTY and don't have your number yet, just list GTY and provide your deck and number as soon as possible.
c. If there is anything that participants should know about your child (ie no candy, afraid of a particular disney character etc), include this information but there is no guarantee that all will note your request.
Cruise Meet
Here is my "management decision" if it is ok with everyone else. Not very management. Everyone pick up the Home Depot Disney paint chips in Disboard green and attach it to themselves somehow. (See my earlier post. I am not really sure which green is correct.) Home Depot is a national chain right?
We can meet at 3:00 pm. I searched the dis for information and found the photo below posted by WDWLVR back in 2006.
This was the caption under the photo: "We always do deck 10 at 3pm. Mid-ship right above the Goofy pool on the side by the port (not to be confused by the port side)" By 3pm everyone is usually aboard and has had lunch and been to their rooms. It gives us a good 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to chat before the drill. Deck 10 is usually quiet at that time.
