I am planning on paying for the pin but if its free I will take it!LOL Who knows, I have gotten some free pins from disney. I am doing the double digit dance today as there is only 99 days until our first trip home as DVC Members. We will be at BCV for 1 week. Its big deal because this will be longest we havent been to disney world. Last trip was 2/02, we usally go 1 or 2 times a year!:D I wish it was double digits for the cruise. We got a while to go.

David, how would I know? I already said I wasn't into the pin trading thing (yet - that could change!). I LOVE the idea of designing our own DIS 2004 Christmas Cruise Crowd pin! You do great work! I want one for each of us - there! You've got your first order for 4 pins!

I'm really sick - I was out hunting thru the shops for lime green clothes for the cruise - is that getting alittle bit ahead of myself?

Just hearing about the blackouts out east - wow! Going to the news to see what I can find out!

gaRry, Pleaes forgive me. I was wearing my glasses and I swear I read the list 3 times. Can you tell what kind of day I was having yesterday and I'm no where near the blackout. Guess I just had a lot on my mind and couldn't see what was right in front of me.
:)

My best to all of you who are effected by the blackout. Hope all is back to normal soon.

Electricity finnally restored at 1:30 today, almost 22 hrs... yuck

house finally has cooled off

walked across the Brookly Bridge again with 1 million people after the power went out ....

I haven't had to do that since ... 9/11 .... bad bad memories

anyone else interested in designing a pin for our cruise -- maybe we should have a contest...

winning design is the pin we create...


any ideas?

What a wild 24 hours this has been. Lost power several times, just as we thought it was back it would be off again. Work at the Hospital was slow all of the operating rooms were closed (except for emergencies) luckily we had no patients having babies. Air conditioning was not at full capacity and some areas were very warm. DH was very busy at the Fire Department- he cannot remember the last time they were up ALL night with calls. We hope the power is on to stay now, there are still are areas 10-15 miles from here that have not had power since 4:10pm yesterday.

GaRry designs t-shirts for DIS cruise, not pins but we would be interested in buying/bartering/trading 4 pins. wouldn't we all be styling in limegreen (tyedied) t-shirts designed for our cruise, christmas cruise pins and lime green tennis shoes.

For the inaugral cruise we had the ship & logo screen printed on with the back of the shirt. Some had their name embroidered on the front, those that didn't want to be identified skipped that. We all were really easy to spot both at the port and at the sail away party. We would have even been seen during last nights power outage, especially if DH had on his DIS hat.

Hope all is well with everyone. Glad to hear djs113 had power back also.

I feel bad for you people loseing all the power. Usally its us here in the golden state loseing power!LOL I think my parents are going to get sick of me talking about the cruise for the next 490 days. I dont know if can wait that long either. At least there are vacations in between the cruise, so that should use up some time. Also if you guys need any help planning or putting together any thing for meets on the cruise, just let me know. I did a lot of stuff for our last cruise.
Well its time for Bed,
Matt
 
I'm artistically challenged! I couldn't design/make anything! BUT I'd be glad to be part of the judging panel for a contest! I love the idea. I'm going to tell my kidz and DH - maybe they can come up w/ a design.

I could knit scarves for everybody and we could go carolling on the ship! HMMMM lime green and Christmas red scarves! hmmmm . . . . Maybe even 16 months isn't long enough to knit that many scarves . . . any other elves out there that could help me? Mary?????

My hope this weekend for all of you is for fun and refreshment from the week! I trust that the trama of all the power outages is starting to abate and that if you had to go through that, you at least got a chance to see the stars in the heavens in all their glory!

Blessings!

Karyn
 
Glad to hear that power is back for most of those effected!

I can't get over all the ideas being passed around. Between shirts, pins, scarves, etc. we'll be he most recognized group around. :)

Karyn I'm afraid I'll be no go with knitting. I'm yarn challenged :)

Think I'll stick with the newsletter and web page (I'm better with words than yarn) :)
 
I'll check and see if I can find the picture on the shirts and see if its a go or not ??????
I think they were $16.00 not sure had embrorded names on front if you dared. YOU really stood out. The picture of the first western cruise might be good enough to see. the back ship design is great I'll check on things monday unless the power goes out AGAIN.



gaRry :jester: :smooth: :p
 
gaRry!

Those T's sound wonderful - I'm not afraid of standing out! "Specially if it means my buddies can find me!

Just a rough guesstimate - how many people are we at this time?

Mary, we could crochet if you'd rather! I have this really odd picture in my head of a big group of people walking around the ship singing Christmas Carols wearing bathing suits and screaming lime green and red scarves! There's something incongruous about it! And then hot buttered Boones Farm in the Walt or Roy Suite! Do we know who has them????

Parents w/ young adult kids or college students! We should link all our reservations and get a section of the dining room so that the kids can sit with each other - or us depending on their mood.

Hey Karyn,

no need to be a great artist to design a pin. All we need to do is put some ideas on a picture, than the artist at the pin company draws it out for you, part of the price to create the pin.

My wife is very artistic, ... me...? I can barely draw a stick figure!

My family is considering the 2004 Christmas 10-day sailing. However, I can't find the rates anywhere as this cruise cannot be booked online. Can someone tell me where I can find them?

Another question (Experienced cruisers, we need your opinion!) We are booked to sail on the Wonder next July and thought about waiting to book the Christmas one until then so we can receive onboard credit. Good idea? Not-so-good? Will it be too late? (We will most likely be booking 3 rooms, probably cat. 9-12, but don't care if they are connecting, near each other,etc.) Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks! :)
 
Hi catspjmas!

We'd love to have you on board with us! I booked mine w/ Dreams Unlimited. I recently inquired at all seaons travel (allseastravel.com) and they had a better deal than DU. If you can't find the listing with one of them, email or call them and ask! There is apparently room left! The thread at the top of the forum about the Christmas cruise has some discussion on that of some of the places people found good deals - so look there!

Don't wait! They are not offering any shipboard credit for this sailing - I tried to transfer an onboard booking and was told this cruise wasn't eligible - seems they can fill it w/o any special incentives! Also If you wait till July the price will only go up!

Good luck! You can also call DCL and book it directly through them and then transfer the booking to a travel agency that can offer you some special deals! DCL 1-800-511-9444!

Looking forward to hearing you say "We're coming, too!"

Karyn
 
GaRy, sorry.. I didn't see my name, and I even checked the list twice (to see who's naughty or nice) :) I've just started with the bifocals... so that is my excuse!

Hope your power situation is under control. We were lucky here.. just blinking and a few minutes of no power off and on on Thursday afternoon.
