12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 3

[pjpoohbear]

I was just thinking that myself. We will look like a big family reunion. With all of you redheads, it may even be plausible.

The rest of us can be those who "married into" this crazy family

Maybe the shirts should say "DIS Family Reunion"

That would really get people wondering...

BTW - Lime green capes? Sure, why not? Maybe I can be "DIS Man"

Still trying to catch up . . .

Thanks John, at least you are willing to jump on my crazy train with me!

The only place we have never been is Animal Kingdom. Has anyone been there?

Kim

Yes, and there are some things that DD really loves there. She loves KS - seeing all the animals. At "Camp Minnie-Mickey" you can get a lot of hugs with the characters too. Her favorite part though is Dino Land USA, with Triceratops Spin and that time travel rollercoaster (can't remember the name).

DD also loves Epcot, and getting the passport signed and stamped, and getting a thing attached to her mask at each country. We had lunch BTW at Norway in May, and there was something there for DD to eat as well as seeing the princesses.

Here is the Glass Bottom Boat at CC reviews, not good at all;

I think I might look into doing the sub at Cozumel.

Kim > yes, Ariel is in Disney Dreams.

Brandi > leave it to you!

I hope that John didn't get into one of those hot air balloons & drift off. You are too funny, Kim!

Don't I wish! I would LOVE to ride in one of them, and hopefully will get a chance some day . . .

This thread was so quiet that I had to go buy almost $40 ($50 with shipping ) worth of stuff at Disneyshopping.com.

I went ahead and got the lime green t-shirts for DS and DH. I originally did not think DH would wear lime green but he decided it would be OK after all so add 2 more to the shirt count.

The hero underwear was on sale again so I got DS another 7 pack because you can never have too much underwear for a little boy. I also got a new swimsuit for each of the kids and a terry cover up for DD. DS is getting Power Ranger swim trunks and DD is getting an Ariel swimsuit and coverup. They will be great for the cruise.

Becka, I bought that Ariel swimsuit. It was so CHEAP! DD loves it and it is really cute in real life too. You know how sometimes something looks so great on the screen and you get it and it is hideous with some horrible material? This one is ok!

Kim, there will be a chart in the Terminal issue of the newsletter, maybe even with family pictures, that is if everyone is ok with the pic being incuded.

Pj

Oh, that would be great! Penny you are too cool!

Penny,

Just make sure you find out exactly what that "sub" is. One year Amy and I did the "sub" at Grand Bahama, and it was a boat on top, with glass windows on the bottom of the hull. You went down in the hull, and they told people, "if you get seasick, sit in the back (the seats folded down from the side with no aisle). That boat bobbed and weaved on the excursion so much that by the end, most people were the color of our shirts, and had gone topside to lose breakfast. DW and I don't get seasick, but even I felt kind of dizzy. It was by far the WORST excursion we have ever done, and they called it a "sub" because you were beneath the surface. Somewhere a long time ago, I posted a report about it.

DS just informed me he is taking a shower, and needs his clothes for school, so it's back to laundry for me - then yardwork. I'll check in later tonight gang.

John,

Do you ever stop?


All, I did a lot of research on the excursions about a month ago, but yesterday I went on line and there are all new excursions. Does this happen often?

Kim > That is why I added the DIS ID to the screen name on the manifest on the website. I couldn't keep up with it either. LOL!

PJ & Todd > When I was trying to fall asleep last night I was still trying to come up with something to do for the shirt. What about putting a border around it so that the color of the iron on & the color of the shirt aren't right next to each other so the difference isn't as noticible? If we did that, we could also just leave the background white & have a rope border or I also thought of a black border with white Mickey heads on it. WDYT?

I have been so happy with all of the DD.com swimsuits for DD. I have gotten them in so many sizes & got more this time to put away for the next couple years. I never thought that my kids would have so much DD stuff...too expensive. These sales make it cheaper than WM!

YEAH Becka's DH!!! I think that I already had you down for 4 of them.

DS is getting Power Ranger swim trunks They will be great for the cruise.

He will match DS. He has had them since last year & they are a little big...has to keep pulling them up.

 

[lbgraves]

OK...here's a shot at them...though I know that PJ's program will make it crisper.

Here's one with a black border & red Mickey Heads. I only put them on one side to give you an idea of what it could look like. Had to place them one at a time.

Lisa you used the older file ...cause on the newer file the lettering is actually bigger ..well everything is a bit bigger ....

 

[pjpoohbear]

I like the rope one, it is cool. If you have the file for the rope send it to me and Todd.

Pj

 

[DisneyVegas1]

Maybe a blue border with red mickey heads ...the colors of DCL logo ..or a dcl logo border ????

 

[kimerinc]

Lisa,

I am confused about the TA credit card thing. Do I need to e-mail my TA and make sure she has a credit card on file with them for me? I have already filled out the online cruise docs with a credit card there, but do I need to have a credit card number somewhere else too?

Thanks!

Can I once again say how valuable this forum is! Disney should pay Dreams Unlimited for helping them so much. I would seriously be in trouble without this site!

Kim

 

[DisneyVegas1]

Okay , here is a thought ...did this real quick ...I would clean it up if you liked ...it was just an idea ...

 

[RealMickey]

Should we do this again John???

John, first person self references....this is serious!

I know what you mean about the DD.com stuff. With the sales I usually do not end up paying more than I would at WM/Target, etc.. and it seems to be pretty quality stuff. Plus it is Disney which is always a plus around here.

DH is a trouper. I honestly think if I told him to wear the tiara for fun he might do it. You must have already known that and that is why you added us to the count. My only regret is that I had to pay the higher price for them this time.

Todd - I like the DCL border but I think we need a solid border to help with the color issue. Maybe something like the black border with the Mickey heads but instead of Mickey heads have the DCL logo.
