For fun I went to my bookcase and pulled out my collector book published in 1979 "Disneyland The First Quarter Century" Right on the first page it starts out:

"What is Disneyland? For a quarter of a century, millions of people from every nation have visited Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom to find out for themselves. But Disneyland offers no definitive answer, because no two people leave the Magic Kingdom with exactly the same memories, experiences or impressions."


Almost forgot I had this book, very interesting with a lot of photos of the orange groves that once lived where now is the Magic Kingdom. Some of the pictures are a hoot, as I remember going on the air cushioned flying saucers, which are no longer there. Oh what a trip down memory lane at the Original Magic Kingdom!

Thanks Jeff and Jen!

John + Susan,

Thanks so much for your efforts! The pin is wonderful. After spending 8 hours this weekend finding pictures, cropping, centering, savind + uploading, etc., just for buttons, I can only imagine the hours you've invested on this pin. The design and detailing speak for itself... so creative, just beautiful! Thanks so much for using your talents and time.

There will always be "just one more" suggestion, "just one more thing" to add or change... that one change will then grow into more... The design is great. I wouldn't change a thing.

Now, break away from your computer, and get a bite to eat!

Omg you guys are too much! I have to get to bed so I can be human for work tomorrow, and I'm afraid that I will have too many pages to read when I get home tomorrow night!

As the time gets closer... maybe we can plan to get a group picture. I'm sure Disney's professional photographers will be around...

Sounds like a good idea. Better than on the last Members Cruise where almost everyone from the ship was on the beach for the picture. I could almost pick us out on the picture. Needless to say, we did not buy that one.

On the Christmas Cruise we all met in the atrium at the designated time (5 p.m.) on Monday the 20th and the ship's photographer came and took the pictures. He ran up one floor and took it from above. I'll have to post a copy so everyone can see.

Okay, headed to bed. One more day closer!

Ok, during the Super Bowl I am thinking about the pin design (take breaks to watch watch the commercials )

Susan and/or her husband will probably hate me after this pin design

Instead of Kingdom to Kingdom - Taking the Magic First through the canal. THere should be something about the canal

If we keep "Kingdom to Kingdom" the font could be easier to read. I compeletly understand what he was doing there

And is the rim color black? Or is it dark blue? (Hard to tell on my monitor)​

These are just suggestions, and even if it does not change, it is a great pin!

It kinda reminds me of the logo for Survivor..... Surviving the Canal Voyage LOL

Thanks for listening!!!

Debbie

rim color can be any color - this is a prototype - I think right now it's black

yeah, it does kinda look Survivor'ish

BTW, DH is thinking a silver metal for the pin, let us know what you think.

I agree with ?Lynda? Wans't it you Lynda, that we should have the word "first" on the pin......we are ya know.......

Yep...I just thought primacy was more important than direction...pin-wise, that is....

 

[Hygiene99]

Okay here it is (now maybe he'll start work on the chili )

Note how the center "kingdom to kingdom" is actually an ambigram ... it reads the same right side up and upside down.

Let me know what y'all think.....

DH (John) is willing to make changes if you want - or to start over from scratch

just moving up since it will be topic for some..

[SandraLee]

Hygiene99 . . . What makes you think the route will be changed? There are a few places near the canal that I would love to see. Have you heard any good rumors??

Sandra

 

[Scott H]

Peter great job on putting the list together, Awesome compilation. Thanks for keeping it updated.

Give us a hint on the surprise, Please............. just a little hint, please............

I know I know, if you did it wouldn't be a surprise.

FYI, Curacao is a port known for resupplying cruise and freight ship with fuel as there is a major refinery on Curacao. I agree that the route is subject to change and I also feel we will see a change, no reason why just feel it.

Our Van to GC is full so you could scratch that off the list or leave it as a reminder to others.

Off to work, have to pay for Lynn's overstock habit.

 

[kaylin]

If possible, please put me down for 4 pins! I had a lot of catching up to do...WHEW!!! Hope everyone has a better week than mine is starting out to be!

We on the August Repo cruise DO wish the itinerary would change. When they took away Puerto Quetzel, they gave you a "replacement port" (Mazatlan), but opted instead to give us "overnight" in Acapulco. With the ship leaving at 7:30 a.m. the next morning, that amounts to little more than just another day at sea. We have been campaigning for another port since we now end up with 8 days at sea (9 if you count not actually getting off in Panama). Not that many of us don't love our days at sea, but for a 14-day cruise we were hoping to see more than 3 ports plus CC!

I'll keep an eye on your page to see if you hear anything first.
