Navigating the enchanted seas on a Disney Cruise Line voyage already feels like you’ve stepped into a living fairy tale. But did you know there’s an extra sprinkle of pixie dust you can add to your adventure? Enter the world of Fish Extenders—a magical tradition that turns your cruise into a delightfully shared experience! Named for the fish-shaped hooks outside each stateroom door, a Fish Extender (FE) is a hanging organizer where participants leave little gifts for each other throughout the voyage. Imagine the joy on your kids’ faces—or even your own—as you discover new surprises almost every day!
But how do you join the fun? Finding a Fish Extender group for your cruise is as easy as saying, ‘Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!’ Start by searching for Facebook groups tailored to your specific cruise date; you’ll be amazed by how many others are excited to share in the magic. Simply type in your cruise ship name and sail date, plus ‘Fish Extender,’ and voila, you’ll likely find a group in no time. Join, introduce yourself, and get ready to exchange some personalized Disney-themed goodies! It’s the perfect way to make new friends, trade unique keepsakes, and bring another layer of magic to your Disney Cruise Line experience.
Some standout ones we have received have been travel journals for our Greek Isles sailing, cute magnets for our cruise door, cups and ice cream toppings for the soft serve on the pool deck, matte boards to use for character signatures and a mickey paint brush for dusting the sand off our belongings on Castaway Cay.
So, why wait? Dive into this whimsical tradition and sail away with memories that’ll make your heart sing. After all, who wouldn’t want to extend the “happily ever after” just a little bit longer?
