20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 2

[JenKatt]

One other thing... are there any hairdressers amongst us? I have pretty unruley hair (great hair, but more than I can handle). I would be willing to pay someone for their services on board if they could help me for the formal/ semiformal nights (or even barter a drink or two (or three or four)).. let me know.. thanks!

 

[TADsMommy]

Can we please be added to the lists for ...

Pins / Buttons ??
Shirts ??

anything else being printed/made.

We can use 5 of everything. Thanks so much!!

Karen

Glad to see pin sales are going so well!!!

Oh, I remember someone looking at Oriental Trading for glow stuff. There is another site I saved in my favorites that I found tonight. It is extremeglow.com.

Might be worth checking out. They have all kinds of stuff.

I have already sent the design to my friend and asked that she give me a "rough" idea on the price for an 8 color 2 inch wide pin. The number of pins we have made will affect the price as well ... I told her the minimum required would be 200 (I think we've exceed that or will do so shortly). The pricing breaks are at 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000.

The price will also be affected by whether or not we have to ship out the pins to everyone before the cruise. Handing them out at the night-before-the-cruise dismeets as well as onboard would reduce cost simply because we don't have to mess with going to the post office and mailing a bazillion little brown envelopes (LBEs). Of course lugging hundreds of little pieces of metal onto the ship could be fun (it'll have to be in checked luggage ... I might freak out the carry-on-luggage xray scanners otherwise). It'll be heavier than to carry, but on the bright side the luggage will be a LOT lighter in FL when we disembark and I don't have all those pins with me any more.

My best guess is that the pins will probably run about $3 each ... but we are going with a slightly large pin and double the "normal" number of colors, so lordy only knows how that'll all affect the price of the pins.

pin update as far as I know the Ship Of Fools crew has gone over 250 pins and there cost is about $2.50 per pin ...
Thanks Susan And her Dh/ Dave AkA Ivanova

Instead of Bringing Home the Magic...we could do on the left side Kingdom
top....TO......right side.....Kingdom

Then replace Eastbound with Westbound and change something to say FIRST.

I like that design and it wouldn't infringe on Disney in anyway, since we could get a cease and desist letter from their attorney. Would hate for that to happen.

Love the idea...

I like the thoughts in Peter's previous post and concur with his thoughts.

Sorry Jen...

I can braid and do French Twists, that is the extent of my hair skills. I always tell my hairdresses that I wish I could afford to bring her along just to do my hair... Then I would not have to deal with it myself...

Bye, Kim

Elaine, no idea about the cost yet. I was "lurking" at the other repo cruise thread a while back ago, and something was mentioned about $3.00 per, but don't hold me to that. We shall see what Susan's DH comes up with, and the cost would be based on size, quantity ordered and amount of colors used.

Sheila, your lucky your oldest DD even wants to participate. I was talking to mine down in Florida this morning before I went to go purchase the fabric for my Pirate night outfit, and asked if she wanted me to make her anything. Of course her answer was "are you kidding?" LOL

Robin (aka Brunhilda Pink Toe )

Hi Robin,

I sent you a PM this AM. Also can you add 4 pins for us please.

Thanks, Kim

 

[bettemom]

Hi Everyone...

I do not have a button maker, however I have a laminating machine if that would come in handy for anything...

Also, What is the status of the door magnets and T-shirt design ?. Where do we download the designs from ?? I totally forgot to monitor these items and now I am lost...

Thanks, Kim

Thanks, Kim

Hi Kim, Jen and Jeff I believe offered the door magnets as their gift to us. If I am wrong about this, please correct me Jen also recently posted that Jeff will be setting up a couple of TShirt designs on Cafe Press for us, and will let us know when.

[myfairygodmother]

Liz (a.k.a. Dirty Ethel Vane)

 

[moocow35]

Got ya! 213 pins!

Is anyone else having trouble getting on www.tiggerfan.net/canal? I have disabled all my popup blockers, but still can't get to the list?

Thanks, Robin (aka Brunhilda Pink Toe

 

[bonzie1]

This was probably posted previously. Here is a link to a live camera on the PC Miraflora Locks.

http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/camera-java.html

Now... if I could only get someone to go to the link and capture the page when we're making our historic crossing in May!!!

 

[moocow35]

Maybe we could make a trade with the August repo people. I'll bet someone over there would take some screen shots of us, and we could do the same for them?

Robin (aka Brunhilda Pink Toe )

 

[Hygiene99]

I Think Either Verandah man Andy or Humancookie will do it ..

for sure.. and it will be posted on the board...

Both are cool like that..

 

[Scott H]

That would be pretty neat, I wonder if Shutters would also offer a photo?

 

[3DAN]

Robin,
I couldn't get on the site either. They must have a server problem. You might send a PM to Jen and or Jeff and let them know. The site couldn't be found.
PS, Good morning everybody!!!!!! Ya SCURVY KNAVES !!!!!!!!!!
Bill

 

[Q's My Princess]

Good morning everyone!! Even though the sun isn't up yet in CA!! I'll create my own sun right here on my laptop!

I just got on to Jen and Jeff's webpage. No problem.

How about that pin count?!? Are we going crazy or what?!

3DAN - Ye got some fine names fer yer family, ye wild Pirate!! Avast!!

[3DAN]

Hi Laurie,,
What time is it out there?
Angela is from Bakersfield and I think there is a three hour difference. It's 9:58 here. I still can't get on the canal site. I could before. You must have one of those California ISP's. They are different from the rest of the country. (HAHA)
(JOKE , Laurie) Kristen, oops, Voodoo Rose is excited about her name.
We have got to keep posting so that we can take over the Aug cruise thread number. What, hmmmm, 20,000 to go. No problem.
