Wish trip help

[mouselovr]

Hey fellow disers
I am asking for a little help for my cousin's sons WISH TRIP! They just got word that they leave on March 7th on the Disney Wonder for a 7 day trip. I have some great DISigns from Millliepie that I am going to use and was wondering whay else I need! I have never been on a cruise myself and always see all sorts of things that people take along from here on their ruise but honestly don't spend much time there because I have not been fortunate enough to talk DH into it! So any help from you all would be so appriciated by me and my cousin! Then names of the crew are Bob (Dad), Heather (Mom), Cole (10), Reid (8, the Wish kid!, he has CF). Thanks in advance to all of you wonderful folks!:lovestruc

I personalized some DCL autograph book covers for the boys.

Here are the pages to go with them:

A lot of DIS'ers make autograph books using print sites, such as snapfish or shutterfly. You can also make them yourself.

I recently made my own autograph books. I used white cardstock for the front covers and laminated them (with my own lamination machine). For the back covers, I laminated cardstock in a coordinating color. I had dividers for each park and character meal, but I don't have any dividers for the cruise. For the autograph pages, I just used regular pieces of paper. Some people use cardstock, but I was making four books, and that would get expensive (and I would have needed to purchase more cardstock!). I spiral-bound my books (with my own binder) on the side. Some people bind them across the top, but again, I was being frugal and didn't want to waste the plastic binding. :rotfl:

Here are pictures of my finished product:

Now, since you have Milliepie's DISigns, I'm sure you have plenty of door signs and tee-shirts. Do you have any specific Wish Trip DISigns? I would put a Wish Trip sign on the door and perhaps make a Wish Trip shirt. You never know what kind of surprises the kids will get when people know that he's on a Wish Trip... :goodvibes

Let me know of anything else I can do for you! I hope Reid and Cole have an awesome time on their Wish Trip!!!

these pages are great! Who is available for autographs on the cruises? I don't want to do a lot of characters that are not there. And for magnets - what do i need to do?

Personally, I don't like the character-specific autograph pages because you never know who you're going to see. And there are some kids who will see Mickey Mouse everyday and will want his autograph everyday. So, you could just use generic autograph pages (like the ones I posted above) and do specific pages for the more popular characters - Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and Donald. I have some character-specific autograph pages (http://s852.photobucket.com/albums/ab82/VicShing/DISigns/Autograph%20Book%20Pages/Individual%20Characters/), and Chaos1cent (http://s226.photobucket.com/albums/dd181/Chaos1Cent/) and Donatalie (http://photobucket.com/2010AutographBook) have a very wide selection. Arewethereyet (http://s345.photobucket.com/albums/p379/ljcollins_2008/DCL%20Auto%20pages%20no%20names/) doesn't design, anymore, but has a great collection of DCL character autograph pages.

Bababear (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2049720) has a great portfolio of cruise designs, but is no longer personalizing. However, there are many designs that don't need personalizing, and if you find a design that needs personalization, then another designer would be happy to do it for you.

To make magnets, you just need an inkjet printer and magnet paper. I order mine from printonit.com. Of course, you could just bring double-sided tape and tape printouts onto the door!

What designs do you have so far?
