Grumpy,

I would love to have one. How much? Can the green you have be a little darker green, say the color of grass. I will be staying in 7625 with IV, my grandson and myself Edd. Can they change characters (not important). Yours looks real good and we will be shipmates.

It is starting to get exciting. Are there any meetings set up yet.

 

[Gerweniel]

My sons and I will be at CSR for the first time. We'll be arriving 11/28/07.
Taking the DCL bus from the Animal Kingdom Lodge on Saturday.

I've been working on some door signs also, but my printer is pretty lame, so I don't know if we'll be using them or not.

Hi Edd,
I don't charge.

I don't change the color, this is the way it was scanned. The Green Mickey Door sign represents us folks from the Dis Boards the color is the standard color.
Just like you will see folks were light green shirts and stuff:

If you wisk to play with it than I will send you a blank green Mickey and you can do what you wish with it. Just PM me with your e-mail address.
You can also go to Home Depot and get your own green Mickey head in the paint department,
Here is your draft with the information I was able to gather.

Send me your grandson's name and whoever else weill be in your cabin...

That looks good. My grandson likes to be called IV. He is actualy the fourth Edward and uses IV for his nickname. He will like that.

I am not good at doing all that so I think it is great.

You bet it will,
Just a little tip,the next time you log-on to the disney cruise line check out the on line store stuff as that stuff can only be ordered before the cruise and you cannot get it/or order it on ship..
The romance basket is great (don'y worry about the name) it consist of two cotton bathrobes a DCL 8x10 frame and a small, small box of choclates but once you throw away the grassey stuff the basket is great for fruit that you get a Goofies and the kids will have somenthing to snack on. I'd also get about a dozen choclate chip cookies after supper just to have for a snack..
ths package is 90 dollars (use to be 75) but the robes are great everyone in my family has one. And you will be glad have it when you go from the shower to the room...(abit chilly)
just a friendly tip, it's good value for the money..
have a good night,

Wow, you guys have all been busy! Football and soccer are winding down over the next 2 weeks so I'll have more time to keep up on Disboards.

We are staying at the Wilderness Lodge Villas 11/28 and checking out the morning of 12/1. My parents are also staying at WLV. We will all be driving to Port Canaveral early on Saturday. We like to get on board as soon as we can.

We were at WDW and did a 3 day Wonder cruise last December and got to see a lot of the resorts decorated for Christmas. We made dinner ADRs at the Grand Floridian, Poly, WL, CSR and AKL so we could check out the resorts. We also got to see POR, CSR and CBR. Everything was decorated beautifully.

Hi,
Good eye Jill, the sword is not plastic I had the blade cut off and a pin placed in the base of the hilt so now it is just a show sword, I can't even pull it out.
I also have a pistol holster attachment on the rig but the security folks did not allow the pistol past security, (not a real gun but who was going to argue when you know you'll lose anyway) so they made me put it in the car prior to boarding the ship.. I will be bringing it again this trip hope there is no problem as I'm flying not driving..
