One week countdown

Good morning and happy Saturday!!  With just one week to go our house if FULL of excitement! We have so much to do this week!

-Pack (I'll post about this later this week!)
-Drop the dog off a the Kennel
-Clean the house
-Finish our Halloween costumes (top secret)
-Finish our Fish Extender gifts

Ok so I know many of you have the questions...what is a Fish Extender?  Well let's talk about the Fish first! Outside of your room you have a small, silver fish.

Well this Fish is used to hold a Fish Extender. A Fish Extender can be a variety of things, but it's typically a hanging pocket system. Here is ours:


My amazingly talented Mother-In-Law made this for us. We each have a pocket! What is the pocket for?? PRESENTS!!

That's right! Not only are you on an amazing cruise but you get presents!! What you need to do is head on over to a Disney Fan site (like the Dis) and find your cruise.  Once you find your group, there will be a sign up for the Fish Extender exchange. Keep in mind you are more than welcome to head over and check out sailing and even meet up with other cruises WITHOUT participating.

This is our first exchange although I've read about it for years! I won't give away what our gift is until we get back but it's been a ton of fun! Gifts are usually on the small side (both for the size of the pockets and the size of your luggage!). Some cruises will craft small items, while other's will put together goodie bags. You can do whatever type gift you'd like (in whatever price range).

You can also choose to do one gift per stateroom like we are doing, or gifts for each person (adults vs. kids is common).  Also, most cruisers will just deliver ONE gift for the entire cruise. You simply pick a day and make your deliveries! I'm excited to meet my other cruises and to exchange our gifts!!

I'll have a few more cruise posts this week before we leave including one on packing!  Stay tuned!
