Could I have further details on how this works I've seen it on previous cruises and always wondered how it works

Well, Fish Extenders are handled on your Cruise Meet thread. You can see if there's one started by going to the Cruise Meet board: http://www.disboards.com/forums/disney-cruise-meets.85/ And look for the thread that says "Find your 2016 (ship) cruise meet LINK here". Click on that and scroll through the first post there to see if your cruise has one. Not all cruises do.

I'll also point out that most FE groups cut off the list around 30-45 days out from the cruise, so people have time to get their gifts together. You may be too late.

But, how it works is, you sign up on your cruise meet thread for a Fish Extender group (if your cruise has one). The size of the group can vary depending on how many rooms each group wants to exchange with. Then you get a list of everyone participating in your FE group (with room number). You prepare little gifts for each room (either individual ones or one gift for the whole room). Once onboard everyone hangs a "Fish Extender" a hanging pocket organizer from the message holder (shaped like a fish) outside your door. During the cruise you drop off your gifts in each participant's FE. And they do the same for you.

If you discover that your FE is closed, you might consider just setting one up for your daughter that you fill. Or you can have gifts "appear" in the cabin from time to time. I opted not to do an FE on my first two cruises and did that instead. It was very fun and super easy. DD didn't know the difference.
