CRUISE SOUVENIR DVD
*************************************************
Here's the list I have so far of people who would either be interested in purchasing (at cost) a DVD souvenir of the cruise and/or would be willing to send me their photos and video footage for its creation. When the cruise is over, I'll post a message on this list (assuming it's still here) with the details for sending me materials and placing orders. Depending on what all I receive in the way of materials, I'd estimate this being completed some time in July. If you want to be sure you're contacted along the way, please email (nejthelion@earthlink.net) or PM me. Please don't just post a message to the thread because I'm afraid I'll miss someone.

NOTE: This is for interest/involvement/contact only. Orders will be taken at a later date once I can set the price. Also, I can use still photos and VHS/Hi-8 footage as well - not limited to digital media.

I won't be able to give an exact price until after the cruise, but I imagine it will be in the $5-$10 range (including basic shipping). I'll set one DVD price for everyone (to be multiplied by the number of DVDs ordered) and most likely one base shipping price so as not to charge extra to those who will need me to return photos or video or who live farther away. Additional shipping options (insurance, delivery confirmation) will be available as add-ons.

I've decided not to worry about music copyrights for this project so it's up to you all not to get me in trouble. I am open for music suggestions. Here are some so far:

Be Our Guest
Celebration
Under The Sea
When You Wish Upon A Star
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me

 

[Q's My Princess]

W-A-Y off topic ? for you doggie people...

Who's kid is on Cosequin? Anyone? And if so, anyone get it online anywhere that they can recommend? My vet has scared me that it won't be the 'same' as he can get, but the pictures sure look the same!

Thanks!

Kendra

Kendra,

I always buy my woofer's meds online. Actually, my vet recommended it b/c her prices are so high. (She is GREAT!)

Anyway, I have purchased from a number of websites that sell animal suppliments and also ebay (just check the expiration on ebay).

Let me know if you have any questions.

 

[hmrgang]

Cosequin can be ordered from www.drsfostersmith.com. They are very reliable, I use them often in my dog business.

 

[SandraLee]

Just got back from Target -- they have sample size (4 loads) of Tide liquid. I got two of these. If I do more than 8 loads of laundry, someone just smack me.


I decided to ship down all our 'comsumables' and other stuff like that. It may cost a ton, but I don't want to carry that stuff.

 

[mvlmeco]

No worries, Margaret, since we're unrleated DIS members sharing a cabin, Jeff says he will make one for each of us -- what a great guy he is!

Just watch for when he asks for the next group (should contain M) to email him and send him your info for the magnet than.

Platform flip-flops? Sounds mighty dangerous to me. I have a tendency to sprain my ankles just walking across the floor in tennis shoes. No platform fli-flops for me.

What is SSR?

Beth

OOOOH that Jeff is some sweetie! I'm just gonna have to give him a big old hug!!!

Mercy! I got platform flipflops with bugle beads, a pair in pink and a pair in basic black for those formal occasions. You know I never said I could walk in them, darling, a girl's gotta have her shinyies and be oh so "Tres Chic", Girlfriend! Walking's a whole different kettle of fish.

SSR = Saratoga Springs Resort. I'm going down a few days early to SSR. And then I will boogie over to the Port on Saturday morning.

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

I will look to see if we have the Tide laundry tabs here. I know we have a box of the tablets that we only use when we travel but I think we bought it in the US (goes gets box and looks at box...) yup purchased in the US no french on the box. It does say that it's made in Canada (I wonder if it's like Red Rose Tea...only in Canada ya know.... ). I will send my slave...opps I mean my Mom over to the "big" grocery store by our house tomorrow and will report back if we have the Tide laundry tablets here in Canada. If this store doesn't carry it then it's not available here.

okay....for Randall & all...No Tide tablets here in Canada. The manager of the "super-duper" grocery store by my house said he hasn't seen them for years. Guess they're not made anymore.

Elaine

 

[Hygiene99]

humdee hum... Just checking..

 

[karaeric]

Cosequin can be ordered from www.drsfostersmith.com. They are very reliable, I use them often in my dog business.

Just wanted to jump in with my input - Cosequin was recommended to us by our vet and it works great! We have had our on it for about a year now. We personally buy it at the vet because his prices are the exact same as the price on DrsFosterSmith, and we save on the shipping cost. Just be careful to order the cat dose if you're ordering for a cat instead of a dog...

Monday here. Back to the old grind stone

[Scott H]

I am traveling this week and the high speed internet is not working here at the Holiday Inn Express, so I am on dialup, yuck.

No room , no asterisk, but we will always have the life boat.

 

[BobandLee]

Kinda looks like one of mine... and somebody probably already guessed it.. but it's SHADOW.. the mascot and resident Golden Retriever at Disney's Hilton Head Resort. Another reason why I love that place....

Ding. Ding. Ding. You are the first correct answer.

We enjoyed Hilton Head also. Was there Dec 03. Shadow helped us make S’Mores. His handler was a storyteller/magician named B'lou Crabbe. Very interresting guy.
You win a free drink from the coke despenser on deck 9.

 

[krdisneybound]

I am traveling this week and the high speed internet is not working here at the Holiday Inn Express, so I am on dialup, yuck.

No room , no asterisk, but we will always have the life boat.

Been there and done that and it's no fun. At all...............

 

[Scott H]

Hey Bob, can I have a cup of coffee from the deck 9 drink station for the hint I provided. Couldn’t have made the tip if I didn’t know the answer.

 

[BobandLee]

W-A-Y off topic ? for you doggie people...

Who's kid is on Cosequin? Anyone? And if so, anyone get it online anywhere that they can recommend? My vet has scared me that it won't be the 'same' as he can get, but the pictures sure look the same!

Thanks!

Kendra

Tippy is on Carprofen or Rimadyl. Used to be on Cosequin. Vet thought the Rimadyl would be better.
Supposedly 1-800PETMEDS is good. Problem is in Indiana, you have to jump through hoops to order pet medications online. Vet said that they would probably be the same.

 

[BobandLee]

Hi Everyone

I have been looking into a ATV tour in Cabo. It's not an official disney excursion but it looks like it would be fun. The cost is $70 per ATV. I can't post more right now, but I will later.

They do have a web page: www.desertpark.net

Let me know if anyone is interested and I will do some more research.

Ken

We did an ATV tour when we were in Cabo back in december. Not sure if this is the same one. We had a great time. I have some pictures, but they are not on the computer. Disposable camera.
The only difference I can see was that we ended up by the ocean. Was really neat.

 

[Scott H]

lynn said I received the Crusie Guide Tom mentioned today in the mail, wish I had it with me.

Our old Malamute is on Rymadyl, as needed. Our vet treats us very well, so online meds has not been necessary.

 

[BobandLee]

Hey Bob, can I have a cup of coffee from the deck 9 drink station for the hint I provided. Couldn’t have made the tip if I didn’t know the answer.

Yea, I guess I can do that.
I usually hit that first thing in the morning. Well, maybe first thing after I scarf a couple of Krispy Kremes from the food line.

 

[bonzie1]

I am traveling this week and the high speed internet is not working here at the Holiday Inn Express, so I am on dialup, yuck.

No room , no asterisk, but we will always have the life boat.

Oh Scott!!! DIAL-UP!!! I remember all the support calls, before the days of cell phones, having to talk to the command center, then hang up and start the dial up line. Then log off and call then back saying the problem was fixed!

Good Luck... and much patience to you!

 

[BobandLee]

Dial-up. Hey that's the story of my life. The only time I experience highspeed is on vacation or when we go to Panera's.
I am a very patient man.

Time to go watch Emiril make Baklava. One of my favorite desserts. Up there with choclate chip cookies and key lime pie.

 

[bonzie1]

Help! Does anyone remember the post number of Kay's packing list? I wrote it down with the intention of going back and copying it, but I lost my scrap of paper!

Does anyone remember where it was? The only thing I remember was the part about razors for BOTH the men AND the women!

Thanks!
