I'm interested in participating in fish extender gift exchange.

Hi Debbie! Welcome!!! You'll need to get to 10 posts before you can send me a PM. You can tell us about other cruises you've been, a little about yourself and/or traveling companions, or just make random post. But once you do get up to 10, send me a PM with stateroom, name of participants, ages of children, favorite characters, any allergies, any celebrations and whether alcohol is ok. Email, hometown, and last name optional

Hi all! DH and I just booked this one for ourselves and our two year old twins. This will be our third Disney cruise and the kids' second. We'd like to be in the fish extender group....so....get ready for ten pointless posts from me so I can send a PM.

Working on it! My internet is painfully slow! First world problems, I suppose! Anyone have a suggestion on where to buy a Fish Extender? I'm blown away by the sheer volume of options on Etsy. I had no idea this was a thing. I'm such a newb.

Just so you know, you don't need to buy a fancy FE. I have even seen grocery store reusable bags as FEs before. At Christmas time I have seen stockings too. Just use your imagination.

I'm considering whipping up something myself, but in my fantasy world, we'll be taking more Disney cruises, so I might as well get something decent we could use again.

I have also been told that they have something similar at IKEA and then you can just decorate it.

There have been some people that have used an organizer that they have found in the nursery section of Walmart. Some have used duct tape, yes duct tape, lol and have created some pretty nice looking FEs. Amazon has an FE looking organizer that you can use too. Looks a bit small but I know others have used them. Just search "hanging Mickey Mouse organizer" and it should pop up.

I've always made my own and have a problem of feeling like I need a new one every time, lol Yep, FE#6 will be in the works soon!

It's coming together. We have three cabins. I broke down and moved to the other side of my buddies 4A into the one bedroom suite next to him. I contacted shoreside concierge and they secured me a family beach cabana. We made tentative excursion decisions and will be finalizing them soon.

That's great Frank!

I've been to Ikea twice looking for one, and both times they told me they were out of stock (which is not good because I drive almost an hour to get there - and their website has this handy tool that lets you see if there are any in stock ) Thankfully I was there for other things so wasn't a wasted trip! I had really hoped I would get one of these. Instead I found those small canvas bags at Michaels, cut off the straps (except for the top back one), and plan on sewing them together (you could also hot glue ribbon to them to keep them together), and each person in my family is just decorating with fabric paint. Will be a funny looking FE for sure, but with all my coupons, it's cheap! LOL

My friend and I went to IKEA when we went to Dallas in the fall. She wanted one of those for her son's room and they were out. Hot item!!!
