Great pic, Mike!!! Thanks!

Did you show up at the park in uniform that morning, or did you go change? Do they prefer their VoD be in uniform? Are you on active duty? Were you on AD at the time? (soooooo many questions!)

Although I have worn my uniforms to the world for just pictures.

What a precious picture!!! Definitely a keeper! Is that your daughter?

Welcome, BeckyThane! It's great to have you as part of our group!
I think the DIS is pretty awesome too. There is no way that out trips would have been what they were if I hadn't found this place!
I have to admit, I got a little misty eyed when I read about you seeing the Magic while you were on the other cruise! I'm really glad that you're finally getting the chance to cruise on DCL...I know you'll love it just as the rest of us do!
It looks like our post-cruise plans are the same...we'll be in WDW until the 17th as well. I'm very jealous that you're staying at the WL...that's the DH's dream resort. We've tried to stay there a couple of times, but it seems like everytime I've booked something there we've ended up having to cancel. So we'll be staying at Pop this time around.

WDW Enabler-My DH is planning to wear a suit and tie on formal night. I thought about renting a tux for him, but I thought he would be okay with just the suit. I think it's very cool that you'll be in your uniform...I hope that I'm able to catch a glimpse of you and your family on that night! I bet they are so very proud of you!

With how hard it is to get into my Dress Blues and get all the medals, ribbon, and warfare pins aligned , I will certainly be in uniform all night long... Way too much trouble to change.

As noobs we have no idea what we are in for when it come to night life but then again we do not know if the little princess will cooperate with the night life.

We will play it be ear.

I just reserved CBR for our two nights before the cruise. I was able to use a 40% off pin code so I think we got a pretty good rate.

I'm really excited! We are not doing the parks just going to enjoy the resort and do Downtown Disney.

We'll just have to get up early to drive to port, but that's not a problem as my DS is an early bird.

Hi Becky,
We will be staying at WL after the cruise, too! I've always wanted to stay there and this time...I just ignored the difference in cost between CBR and WL - and went for it! Would you be interesting in sharing the cost of a limo or other transport services? We have a party of 3 (maybe 4) people... no children.

Hi, Everybody!!!

I hear 'ya! We've dined at Artist Point twice, but never stayed at the WL. It was DH's first choice.

We're newbies, too, and aren't typically party animals -- we prefer a quiet drink, to people watch, or sing-alongs. We've got second seating, so by the time we're finished with dinner there won't be a whole lot of evening left. We're playing it by ears, too.

I got those rates, too! What fabulous rates they are!!!

Oops... I already booked DCL transfers... Thanks for asking, tho! It'll be fun seeing you all around the WL, too.

Gee, didn't mean to stop the conversation... Anybody still here?

 

[WDW Enabler]

sorry becky. it has been a busy weekend. we are trying to get everything ready for our 4th of july trip this weekend to WDW. We are still trying to finalize shirt designs yes i know last minute but with DW being so particular sometimes and it will be her birthday on the 5th so she wants a specials shirt for that
can't wait for the cruise working on fe gifts and shirts for the cruise

 

[BeckyThane]

You're sure an early riser, Mike.

Today's my day off, so I slept in. Even so, I'll be doing some work from home. <sigh>

Hope you all have a great time at WDW this weekend! How long are you staying? Do you make shirts for every time you go? Your own design?

One of my roll calls over on Cruise Critic did t-shirts -- sold them through Cafe Press. It was great seeing so many people wearing those shirts around the ship!

Don't get one. They are way to addicting. Worse than the cricket.

We luckily (maybe) found out about iron on transfers and moved on to both screen printing and iron-on transfers.

You should check out Cafe Press. Here's a site I set up a couple of weeks ago.

www.cafepress.com/AbidingPeaceLC/​

I just placed my first order this evening, 12 shirts of varying sizes/colors and a tote bag. The order's estimated arrival date is July 3-4! (obviously not allowing for the holiday )

All I had to do was upload the electronic version of my graphic, select which items I wanted to display in my store, tell it if I wanted any kind of mark-up, and voila! Instant store. Couldn't have been any easier!

It is more fun to make you own. besides there is no copyright questions when I make them at home.

Hi Everyone!

We are celebrating a girls weekend at Disney. We are staying at POR and having a great time. The weather was a little rainy and hot today, but otherwise not too bad.

The one tip that I can say to everyone is... ONLINE CHECK-IN. The regular line had at least 20 families this morning and we walked straight to the online check-in window. They had everything printed and ready to go! Amazing!!!

 

[queenof2princesses]
