We have joined the FE on all 3 of our previous cruises. Unfortunately, I didn't photograph the first one.
For those new to the FE please check page 1 of this thread for details and sign up information.
Here is a photo of our two-pocket FE. I purchased this on ebay 3 yrs ago. It was made by a dis'er known as gradysmommy. I'm not sure if she still does this but you can use anything you wish to hang outside your stateroom. And I do mean anything!!!
All of the magnets you see on our stateroom door (with the exception of the dvc) were given to us thru the FE.
The dimensions of this FE are:
Width of dowel - 9 3/4"
Width of FE cloth - 8"
Total length of FE - 15 3/4"
Length of each pocket - 5 1/2"
Height of string - 7"
Length of string - 16"
Expansion of pockets - 4 1/2"
Here are a sample of gifts we have received. We were two adults. Obviously these are from a regular sailing. Hopefully someone familiar with the DVC Member Cruises will assist in describing if those items tend to be more personailized toward the DVC.

I would be happy to photograph all three tiles if anyone wishes.
