Cruise Tee Shirts

After several site go rounds, my sister has helped us find a nice cooperative printer. We'll be ordering the shirts from nuimage printing in DE. For right now we'll use the old image as the shirt example.

It'll look something like this:

The actual shirt may be somewhat lighter in color. Price per shirt is $19.95 + 1 time prep fee that will be divided between everybody who orders.

So please EMAIL me at moluvsdisneymagic@cox.net with your sizes and how many you need. My PM box gets rather full these days

ORDER DEADLINE IS 8/18/11

DISMeet info

And finally Direct from the DVC members' cruise(hope no one minds)
The Elizabeth Swan & Pirate Game

On the 2008 Member cruise thread Gary (OKWMember) came up with the pirate game where each 100th post got a pirate (). To add more fun, each 99th post got an Elizabeth Swan bride. This game was played in the 2009 Member Cruise thread and was so much fun. It really got people chatting. When will you get an or a ?

Every 99th post = 1 ES bride
Every 499th post = 2 ES
Every 999th post = 3 ES

Every 100th post = 1 Pirate ()
Every 500th post = 2 Pirates
Every 1000th post = 3 Pirates

We'll have a prize for the DISer with the most pirates and the most swans at the onboard DIS meet.

Thanks to Lauralooneyfordisney for supplying the prizes for the game.

*See thread for current standings*

We booked 9/28. This is our first Carribean cruise and our second Disney cruise. Our first cruise was during Disney's first trip to Mexico in 2005.

For us we have dh Tim, and my two kids, Thad & Kesli both aged 17 at the time of the cruise and me. We are booked in a Cat T room 8532.

Originally we were booked for this same cruise this Thanksgiving but had to postpone due to being furloughed at work :-(. Now we are praying that no furloughs occur next year!

Hi there

We transferred a booking we made onboard last yr to this cruise on the 28th. We are trying to finish out the Eastern itinerary b4 trying the Western. This will be our 2nd cruise. Had a great time on the first. I can't remember which cabin we have waiting for my TA to send me a copy of the invoice. I know we're on the 6th deck though.

Welcome aboard and happy planning

 

[only1mouse]

Hi!

We are so looking forward to this cruise! Having had to postpone the one we had scheduled this year was heartbreaking. We are staying in a suite for the first time and were able to secure on of the mid-ship Cat T's! Not sure what we'll do for excursions, we didn't do any going to Mexico so we are all looking forward to that planning! We're only about 2 years away! Woot Woot!

 

[becky1980]

and I booked again today!! Just a little bit disappointed with myself that I didn't book while onboard (silly planning on my behalf).

Anyway, it will be me (28) and my son Josh (6) and we are in a cat 11c.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

 

[Octoberbride03]

Welcome to Becky and Josh

We almost DIDN'T book onboard but once we heard what the deal was it was 2 good to say no to another cruise. So the last night of the cruise we waited in line for a good half hr or so to rebook after supper

Melissa: I hear ya about heartbreaking, The cruise we went on last yr was actually pushed back 1 yr due to surgery and I was beyond upset. Cried all the way out of the Dr's office. But the good news is now you have more time to plan and more time to save up all that spending money you'll need

 

[IrishCowboy]

I have added a link to your thread on the main index page. Have a great cruise!

 

[Octoberbride03]

How's everybody doing?

Irishcowboy. Thanx for posting the link. I haven't always been coherent the past week or so.

I am thrilled to say that I have been chosen to host the DCL House party. I am so excited and so nervose that I won't get anyone to show up Now I have to plan out stuff to do. I rattled things off quick on the application.

 

[TartanTinker]

Count us in too. We booked this cruise 2 weeks ago on the Magic. Very sad to think we were on the Magic just two weeks ago. I guess this will be our last cruise on the Magic as the new ships will take over the 7 day cruises in 2012. We will miss her so let's have a great time one last time. It will be Dan and Renee and DD Kim (12 at that time) and DS James (10 at that time) in a 05C room 6616.

 

[only1mouse]

We change our minds; last Friday I transferred this cruise to a 4 night on the Dream over Halloween! Have a great time!

Adding the Honeymooners of the group!

John (future DH) and Beth

This will be a first ever cruise for both of us...so be patient as we join the ranks of DCL cruising addicts. Teach us the ropes, we're willing and eager to learn!

We've been DVC members since 1998 and are all about all things Disney. John is more "Grumpy" though....you know he loves it, but he isn't going to let you know he loves it. He's "Space Mountain and Mission Space", and I'm "It's a Small World and the Teacups". We're "Disney different, but all Disney". But he's all gung-ho for pirate night and is already planning his costume. So if you aren't in for "Yo Ho, Yo Ho It's a Pirates Life for Me" to be sung 50 times, don't sit near us at the party.

As only other Disney addicts would understand, we planned our honeymoon before we set our wedding date. We'll get married on October 1st, the week before.

Can't wait to meet you all and hope everyone has a fun filled and exciting trip and a whole year and a half of excitement to build.
