11/14/09 - Special Western - 2 CC stops

[Fizzgig]

Hey... I was just thinking (uh oh, there she goes again). We need a graphic for our cruise. That way, if we want to we can put it on our magnets, t-shirts, whatever we want to make for the cruise. I think we've agreed to go with the Double Dip Delight (and we'll leave it up to Fizzgig as to whether the '09 can be added.. depends on how hard it is on the back end). I'd be more than willing to develop a graphic. You can see examples of the kind of work I do on my blog.

So... if you're interested in a graphic how about toss out some ideas of what should be included in it? My ideas are that it should somehow represent "double" (i.e.... maybe a mirror images type of thing or something... I dunno). Double dip sounds to me like sticking your toes in the water twice.

Anyway... what'dya think? I'm going to get more coffee becuase I think I need it ;-)

Erik already altered the logo for someone to make it an '09. I will put the new version in my .sig when I get off the boat in a little over a month.

I think the new version of the logo is posted on this thread a few pages back.

The website disdoubledip has forums, links, PMs, private Kid's Area with parental supervision, etc. It will take me a bit to clean the old content, and then everyone can sign up and we'll go again.

I would like a new banner for that website. I haven't installed Photoshop back on this machine after my last rebuild, so I'm being lazy... or just busy packing for this upcoming trip... yeah, that's it... Judging by how little of my carpet is currently showing through the kids toys, I must be packing the whole house!

OH! And if you'd like, we need a new slogan! "Because just one day isn't enough!" is the current slogan on the logo.

welcome hypermommy! This is our first cruise, but I am ready to set sail with you all. You guys are making me so excited I can't sleep. I'm already thinking about fe's and what we're going to wear on pirate night and of course all the pictures I have to take for my scrapbook! Sigh, we're still over a year away, huh?

 

[Hypermommy]

Fizzgig -- your site sounds fantastic!!!! I love the idea of the kids having someplace safe to go to get to know each other. Even though mine are 14 and 12 (just about to be 15/13) I'm still a bit overprotective on the net.

Let me find the logo and I'll see what I can do with a banner. If you'd rather do it, just let me know.

Hmmmm.... a slogan, huh? Lemme see if I can think of something rather disneylicious and I'll throw it out for the group to consider.

mommyarewegoingback... love your nick!!!! So what kind of scrapping do you do? Don't forget to scrap your preparations. I only got one prep picture last time (the "advent calendar" I did on the sliding glass door with mickey head paint chips from Home Depot). I'm going to do so much more than that this time, I hope. If I can ever finish the book from the last trip.

 

[MaryAz]

It's the King!! Loved ur TR's. I did a pre one for our Mexican Cruise and started a post. Got side tracked with life. I will do both next time.
Can someone help me with a siggy on here. My 2 year old is OBSESSED with the "dancing nana" and I want to put it and a cruise counter on. Thanks
I want shirts with logos,magnets etc. I want it all!! I told Dh we needed a new FE so we could switch out. He said "well maybe you should just get 6 so you can have one for everyday" HA-should not have said that-even in jest. Off to ebay!!

 

[Hypermommy]

I don't know if you can do the "dancing nana" in a sig. I don't know if the smilies are available then. For a sig, just click on User CP and you'll see one of the links on the left says something about a signature. For the counter, just click (right click so you can get it in a new window) on mine and it'll take you to www.magicalkingdoms.com. You choose your background, your counter (like mine's the ship) and the date your leaving and a couple of things. Then it'll create the code for you and you just cut and paste it into your signature file. This is when it's helpful to have two browser windows open

LOL... Mary, you sound just like me!!!!! You'd think the hubby would have learned to be careful what he teases about, huh? Lawd knows KC sure has!

 

[Hypermommy]

I was wrong... I just had to modify my sig and I see that they do have the dancin' nana. Just let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Everyone-

I'm going to be on this cruise with my best friend and her family. I would like to participate in the FE exchange as well. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

 

[mommykeg]

Hi! We just switched over another date to be on this cruise. I am SOOO excited about the double dip! This will be our 3rd Disney Cruise, and our first in a different cabin...my kids are NOT excited about not getting OUR cabin! I haven't read the entire thread yet, but I wanted to check in.

 

[mommykeg]

I went ahead and started the master rollcall list of everyone that's joined the thread so far. I will send a private message to rgroves in case they'd like to copy it over to Post #1 and keep updating it. If not, no big deal, I'll keep adding information to it as we go.

[MaryAz]

Thanks Hypermommy for the tips-I stole ur ticker Now my little one can be her own "dancing nana" She will be 2 tomorrow.
Welcome to all the new additions. This is going to be a great group.

 

[Hypermommy]

Looks great!!!!!! Can't wait for Fizzgig's site to be recycled so we can share pictures of the kids. 4 and 2 are such cute ages (but too much work for me to want to go back to ).

My dear husband (the homebrewer) has suggested a slogan for our cruise.
"The Make Mine a Double Cruise"
To which I responded "The Make Mine a Double, Dip, I mean Cruise"
We are so funny.

I love "Make Mine a Double"!!!!!! That's even better than a Disneyish slogan and far more indicative of what I plan to be doing on the ship. Anyone got a good picture of a Konk Kooler? I have an idea for a graphic for the banner. That is, if it's okay with Fizzgig.

I love the motto!

 

[Hypermommy]

Then we're on! The official motto of the Double Dip Delight '09 is "Make Mine a Double". When you can, send me that logo that you mentioned becuase I want to work it into a banner for the website if that's okay (I think you mentioned needing a banner).

 

[binky1]

I love "Make Mine a Double" too!!! I have been known to enjoy an "occasional" beverage - in fact, since my DDs will both be in the clubs, I plan to enjoy them alot more this time around...

Can you attach that picture here or resend the link or something? The actual link itself has the ... in it and doesn't take me anywhere on photobucket.

 

[binky1]

Try this again...

I had also done up another logo - you'll see it in the album but it was very plain compared to the treasure map.

If this doesn't work, PM me and I'll send you the link.

 

[Hypermommy]

That's really cool! Didn't realize it was what's in your sig. LOL... need more coffee I guess. Or maybe a Konk Kooler.

Wonder if there's any way to put the "Make Mine A Double" on there?
