Hi DonnaRae-- My son and I are also going on our first Disney cruise for Halloween on the High Seas! We are on Deck 8 and so excited! I am hoping our cruise has interest in forming a fish extender group.

 

[DonnaRae]

How old is your son?

 

[KerMichele]

He will be 7 at the time of the cruise

We just booked this cruise yesterday. So far it is just my wife, daughter and I, but we may have some first time cruisers joining us.
We are on Deck 7 AFT, trying something new, our past cruises we have been on Decks 9 & 10.

We are still undecided but knowing my wife, we will do it...

Hello everyone!
We booked our cruise back in september 2017!
This will be my husbands second cruise (our first cruise as husband and wife). My 5th cruise overall/ with disney. We are in stateroom 2530.

We are onboard with doing a fish extender!

We are sailing on this cruise too. It is our first Halloween cruise and 3rd Disney cruise. We have 2 girls that will be 11 and 6.

It looks like we have a decent amount of interest in doing a fish extender, I would be willing to organize if the group would like.

Sounds good to me, let me know if you need any help.

So what do we need to do?

So what do we need to do?

I am setting up a google sheet. For each cabin it includes your DIS name, cabin number, # of Adults, Adult names (ages optional), # of kids, Kids names and ages, any allergies, any special occasions, and usually I add favorite character.

Actually, I think I am gonna make it a google form... stay tuned!

 

[NCHolbrook]

OK I think I have figured it out! Please let me know if for some reason this doesn't work... I tested it a few times, so I think it's good to go!

This is my first cruise... do kids or kids/adults do FE? Do you set a certain number to participate? Do ypu give gifts every night?
Thank you

The short answer is that you can do it however you like. The way I have done it in the past; it is both adults and kids (aren't we all kids at this point? ) and I personally give one or more items per person and sometimes a cabin gift depending on what I decide to do. We do one per trip but we might not deliver all at once because it is fun to hold off so people get to enjoy it throughout the cruise (since ours is a short trip... we will likely do it all at once on the second night)

In the past I have done crafted items as well as purchased items, holiday and non holiday, consumable and not.... It really just depends what you want to do. I usually go to Pinterest for my inspiration, there are a million Fish Extender ideas on there.

The number of cabins is usually dependent on who signs up. I find ten and under to be a good number of cabins generally so they groups are usually split up. After ten it gets harder to manage the logistics of giving and receiving lol but that's really up to the group

I always end up with odds and ends extras so I typically deliver my extras to other groups.

Hope that helps!​

So I came across this thread and thought that I would share. It shows most of the Muster Station locations.

143 Days!!!
Figured I would give this thread a bump. We have 5 Cabins for the FE so far.

If we get more people to join FE will you split into groups of a certain number?

In the past the groups we have been a part of generally try to keep it around 10-12 (depending on the overall number) cabins for ease of planning and packing, but can take a vote within the group to get an opinion. Some people have chosen to stay with in their group(if it gets split) others have opted to pixie dust everyone participating.
