Disney Fantasy September 16, 2017 Western Cruise Fish extender Group!

:welcome: Glad you have joined us. FE's are fun, I have done them on all my cruises.
Well if you don't mind I do have a few questions...do you give each room 1 gift or more than one gift? How many rooms do you end up giving to? I was just trying to figure out how much room in the suitcase I would end up needing?
 
That is totally up to you. There are several ways to do it. Some do a cabin gift, or you can do a cabin gift and some little something for the kids in the room, or you can do something for each individual in the cabin. I have received it each way. Individual gifts and cabin gifts and I have given both ways also. Like you said I take suitcase room as a guideline. But the gifting is totally up to you and your budget. Also remember, you will be bringing home also.
 
How many will be in each FE group? The one on Facebook is 15 rooms, I think that's too many. I thinks gifts would be better if you didn't have 30 kids and 15 rooms. I think 5 rooms is good enough with 2-3 kids per room

12-15 is usually the smallest one I've been involved in. In the past even at 15 rooms, I have not had one that had 30 kids involved in it. My original thought had been 15 rooms per group.
 
Hi All! My boyfriend and I are sailing with you all! We are participating in our first FE during our February cruise this year to see if we want to do it again in September. Our current groups are limited to 10-12 rooms and close as soon as they reach that so those group members can begin planning. Seems these groups won't close until much closer to the cruise, is that right? I like to plan ahead so I'm nervous at the idea of only having two weeks to prepare given the confirmation date listed. Any tips?

Hello,

I JUST BOOKED MY CRUISE!!! Now who is wanting to join my fish extender group? Ill start the new list for anyone who is wanting to join.


Joining The FE Group
If you would like to join this FE group, then simply register your interest by replying to this thread. You can include the information requested in your reply to this thread (keep in mind this will be public). If you do not wish to share your information publicly, reply here and then you can PM me with your information.

Family Name:
Deck Level (if known):
Cabin Number (if known):
Adults (Name & Favorite Character):
Children (Name, Age, Favorite Character):


How will the FE list work?
As each family signs up to the thread, their details will be entered into a spreadsheet. A finalised version of the spreadsheet will be released once we reach the cut-off/confirmation date (see below for explanations). We will attempt to keep all participants on one list. However, sometimes, there are just so many cruisers wanting to partake in this magical experience that participants may be divided between two or more lists. In the event of needing two or more lists, we will try to distribute participating cabins and people as evenly as possible.

FE Registration Cut-Off Date
All families must register their interest to join the FE group, by posting a reply with the above mentioned details, by August 16, 2017. This is to allow people ample time to make/purchase their FE gifts, and ensure they can deliver to all those registered on the list.

FE Participation Re-Confirmation Date
ALL registered families must CONFIRM their participation by September 1, 2017. This is so the FE list(s) can be finalized. Of course, your situation regarding cruising may change at the last minute and that cannot be helped, but re-confirmation just ensures no one has changed their minds or cancelled their sailing and forgot to say so.

Latecomers/Non-Confirmation
The Latecomers list is for those who have booked their cruise at the last minute, missed our FE group cut-off date, but still want to participate in FEs. Anyone who does not confirm in time will also be moved to this list. Participants on this list will provide FE gifts for each other, and are welcome to supply FE gifts for other cruisers, but should not expect to receive anything in return. Regular list participants are free to deliver FE gifts to those on this list, but are not obliged to.

FE Gifts
Please remember that this is not a competition to produce the biggest or most expensive gift; it is about sharing the Disney magic. You can do gifts for every individual or each family on your list, the choice is yours. Some people like to personalise gifts, so you may find additional information is requested as we get closer to the cruise – for example: first names, favourite Disney characters, etc.

However, please be mindful that not all cruisers are from the USA. This means your fellow cruisers may have to consider customs, quarantine and luggage allowance regulations on their return journeys home. Also, for overseas cruisers, please make sure that the gifts you are bringing are acceptable imports to the USA; we wouldn’t want you to have them seized at immigration/quarantine/customs!

Delivering Your FE Gifts
It is great not to have a specific time to deliver FE gifts, as it means they start to trickle in all day, every day, as the cruise progresses! However, you should attempt to deliver your FE gifts by 5pm on the last full day, so that families have time to remove their FE, pack, and have luggage ready to go for the disembarkation luggage service.

Hello, 4th time cruising; super excited for this cruise! Haven't decided on doing the fish extender yet (Still doing the research on how it works/is it worth it).
