If anyone else would like to participate, just reply to this post or send me a pm (spencertracy1976@yahoo.com), I will update the list periodically. You can also add via the groups Facebook page
Please provide me with the following
.
-- DISboard username
-- Cabin # (if you know it already) (please update me of any changes prior to sailing)
-- Family Last Name (helps with personalizing family gifts)
-- First names of those participating, ages of kids in cabin and whether boys (B) or girls (G)
-- Any special cruise celebrations
-- Any food allergies, etc
If you are uncomfortable posting any of the personal information, you can simply say "Adult, Male" or "Girl, 8" for example.
Our group will close Sunday, March 16th (6 weeks prior to sail date). This allows people plenty of time to order, make, assemble, personalize, etc their gifts. Thank you!!
What Is An FE Gift Exchange?
For those who are new to this fun cruise experience, the Fish Extender itself is a pocket panel you hang from the fish shaped hook outside your stateroom. These can be homemade or you can purchase them on sites like Etsy, you can also find some pictures on Google or DIS forums. Families that join the FE group hang the Fish Extender outside their cabin and then exchange little gifts with others participating in the group by putting little gifts in each others extenders.
It's a ton of fun, not just for kids, and you can either give one gift to each cabin, or a gift to each person in the cabin. You can give gifts a few times throughout the cruise or just once. No real set rules, just exchange and have fun! Gifts can be homemade or store bought. That's part of the fun . . . the variety of gifts that everyone brings!
I'm just getting us started and organized, so if anyone has any other ideas or suggestions, please post!! Can't wait to see everyone!
