I am a huge Disney fan, but only recently learned the terminology, "FE" aka "fish extender". There is a great fansite for those who love Disney and any question you could possibly have about anything Disney, someone there will know your answer. While on this website, I learned that a fish extender is a hanging piece that one either buys from the internet or makes to hang from the fish hook outside your cabin door on a Disney cruise. People sign up months in advance on this site to exchange gifts with others on the cruise that are placed in the FE. Thought this was so cool, but I didn't find out in time to get in on the exchange, but the crafter in me compelled me to make one anyway and pack a suitcase of little gifts to give out each day for my nieces and nephew. This is the fish extender I made for my Disney Magic cruise. No sewing was involved. I used felt (some with sticky backing), stickers, small canvas bags, scrapbook paper, ribbon, and duct tape to decorate. I used glue dots to attach (one of the greatest crafting inventions ever!) My nieces and nephew had a great time getting their little gifts each day on the cruise.
