Confused on what are good Fish Extender ideas? How do I participate and what do I need to give as gifts? Fish Extenders get their name from the fish that is next do the stateroom door that shows the state room number. On the Wish, the items is not a fish, rather the item is related to the room (pumpkin carriage, etc.)

One of the most asked questions we get is about taking teens on a Disney cruise.
