Creator's Key Takeaways

Disney cruisers are a bit unique in their zeal for joining and participating in groups for the sailings they take on DCL.

By joining these Facebook groups you're joining this community of people who all have something in common because you know you're all going to be on the ship together.

The fish extender is basically a gift exchange that's organized between usually small groups of cabins.

One of the best reasons to join your Cruise Facebook group is just to extend and expand the excitement of your upcoming cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Join the Facebook group for your specific sailing as early as possible to participate in fish extenders and other activities.
βœ“Be respectful and remember there's a human behind the screen when posting in the group.
βœ“For fish extenders, use a Google Form for sign-ups to keep it organized and avoid manipulation.
βœ“If you get a placeholder on Disney Cruise Line, take a screenshot as proof of purchase.
