How to Celebrate a Disney Cruise with Fish Extenders!
o you’ve booked your Disney Cruise and hear someone mention how fun “fish extenders” are. What the heck are they, and how do you get in on that action?
Fish extenders are unique to Disney Cruise Line because they were created by Disney cruisers themselves! Essentially, you hang some kind of pocketed organizer or other container outside your stateroom door, and members of your fish extender group will stop by throughout your cruise and leave you lots of fun gifts! Then you return the favor by visiting their doors and leaving some gifts for them.
Fish extenders take on lots of shapes and sizes, and you can easily find one that suits your style. This colorful option allows you to customize the colors and length of your fish extender!
But how do you participate in the fish extender frenzy?
