October 30, 2011 Wonder - A Haunting on the High Seas

[RRRAZR]

Hi Everyone,
We are all paid up and ready for our first Disney Cruise! My name is Rene, my husband is Ruben, we have 3 children, sons Ryan (13), Zack (11), and our daughter, Ally (11). Yes, Ally and Zack are twins. I am looking forward to cruising with such a wonderful group. If it's not to late I would like to participate in the FE but I'm pretty green in that area. I would also love to purchase some of those awesome T-shirts for my family.

FE stands for Fish Extender. Each cabin has a fish clip outside the door so a very clever cruiser came up with the idea of hanging a FE Extender from the clip for disboard members to leave gifts for each other.

FE Extenders can be homemade or bought from ebay, or you can even just hang a bag from your Fish clip, whatever suits you. If you are unsure of what a Fish Extender is, search the word on ebay to get an example.

Participants usually give one gift per cruiser for the cruise (3 & 4 day cruises). For longer cruises (5 & 7 day cruises), sometimes participants give more then one gift for the cruise. This is entirely up to the participant. Participants can distribute the gifts whenever they want during the cruise.

Gifts are entirely up to the participant. The gifts I've received in the past range from hand-made crafty items to practical items. For example, I've received bookmarks, mini scrapbooks, magnets, keychains, candy, toys, sunscreen, lip gloss, bracelets, etc. Usually most participants manage to find a really cool gift for less then a couple of dollars. Most of us are expert savers to fuel our Disney addiction so we are pretty good at finding deals.

Sounds like fun! I don't have a crafty bone in my body, but I am blessed with excellent shopping skills, so count me in!
