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

[DisneyPinDiva]

As promised... another button design, since the last one stepped on Disney copywrites...

Gotta get off the computer... I've been hogging it doing these buttons all weekend... morning + night!!! My eyes are getting weary of staring and fixing images... ha! My DH needs some time too! He just smiles when I tell him I've got another idea...

Hygiene99: THANKS FOR THE UPDATES!

Happy Sunday to all!
Georgie

Georgie
GREAT DESIGN!
Sorry everyone... I am just recuperating from another computer problem! I've got 15 or so pages to catch up on... you guys have been BUSY!!! I won't ask any dumb questions until I've caught up.... back soon... ACCCKKK Make that 30 pages...... geez!!

John is okay with you guys using the pin/medallion design on t-shirts, tote bags, etc.

Apparently though he's of the opinion that he does not need any more t-shirts in his wardrobe (his preference tends to be towards polo shirts these days). So if someone would "gift" him something else (polo, duffle, coffee mug, etc.) that would be soooooo cool.

He should be able to get the design cleaned up & finalized for you this weekend. At that time you can upload it to CafePress or wherever ... and we'll also be able to submit it to the pin company for a quote on the pin and the medallion.

Not sure if everybody has seen the pin design so I put a copy of it up on my web site which means no X as I host the site on my own servers.

Here is a link to see the PIN design

http://disney.ennis.tv/Panama%20Canal%20Cruise.htm

Also May cruisers anybody want to get together for a chat? It's free again on my site and available anytime. Post a message on our board and then everybody can head on over. I dropped in on the August cruisers and it was fun so figured we should have a chat room too!

Here is the link

Thanks to everybody for all their hard work.. This is going to be a great cruise

 

[tap & dap]

1. We would like to raise our pin order to 12 pins, such a neat design.

2. On the repositioning shirt, is there anyway to put the design for the long sleeve shirt on to a short sleeve shirt. Like the print on the back, but really prefer the short sleeve.

Thanks for the help.

[DisneyPinDiva]

WOW.. that was a LOT of catching up to do!! Looks like I am WAY behind!
Here's my updates
SAILAWAY... we'll be at both if humanly possible!

PINS!!! Whoooo hooo.. sign me up for 12. Would also like 2 of the August ones if possible! Serious pin addict here... Susan I believe we've traded on PinPics!!

HIGH TEA count us in if there's room (2) Leslie & Joe DH will come if there are scones involved.

EXERCISE: We'll be there.... Love walking/jogging deck 4. Also have tried Yoga on the ship... that's a hoot....I can't balance on land let alone a moving ship...LOL

Sheesh what am I forgetting that I haven't already signed up for??

Love the updates and lists.... and would LOVE a tee of the pin design front and back! I still have to check out the current tee designs!!
A HUGE THANK YOU to all who are coordinating anything and everything! I'm lucky I can keep track of my name let alone all the things going on here!!! Thus my Pirate name being SO appropriate!


Speaking of lists... is there a list somewhere of what is being brought so far as sailaway gifts??? Don't want to duplicate if possible... I have no imagination when it comes to this stuff....LOL

OKAY--WE HAVE A WINNER--

Thanks to Fern (DVC Minnie) for agreeing to compile the list for linking late dinner reservations. Please PM to DVC Minnie if you want to be linked for the late seating. Once again, here are the rules:

1. PM DVC Minnie with your names, stateroom number and reservation number.
2. Cut-off date for requests-February 28, 2005 at 5 p.m. MST.
3. DVC Minnie will fax request asking for our whole "family" of late diners to be linked.

EXCEPTIONS: (We've always got to have those!)

1. If you are wait listed for the main dining you will probably not know by February 28 that you have been put on main. AT THIS POINT IF YOU ARE WAITLISTED FOR MAIN DO NOT PM DVC MINNIE TO BE PUT ON THE LATE DINING LINKING YOU WITH ALL THE OTHER LATE DINERS!

Last time, we had some who linked with the late and then when their waitlist came through for main, it moved a bunch of other people. So....to make a long story short, do not PM until you are 110% sure of your dinner seating and no changes are being made to it.

Any questions, send DVC Minnie off a PM and she will respond.

Have a MAGICAL day!!

Linda

 

[Janis]

Thank you DVC Minnie!!!!! I will be pm'ing you with our details!


Janis (aka Saucy Jenny thunder)

 

[first timers]

Here is the list again. Reminder: There are two sailaway meets. One at 3pm and one during the official DCL sailaway. Please let me know which one(s) you will be attending. TIA


Please put us down for both sailaway meets. Alex and Carolyn

 

[TikiGirl]

Well, as usual, I am behind on the thread. I found a $5 off coupon from cafepress online: BEANSMUTTON

No idea how long it will be good for but it worked for me. At least saves shipping, right? Hope not too many have ordered yet. I figure we can use it again when the other design comes back up.

That $5 equals one more konk cooler for me - that's the way I look at it!

Thursday Morning Edition


What's Going On.


Precruise Going On's


IMPORTANT...
To make sure we get our pins in time for the cruise, I will need to get the payment to Susan by 3/14 the latest. Ideally, we should have the order cut off on 2/14, which would give everyone 3 weeks to get the payment to me. We can extend that by a week, as I am padding this to leave no room for errors. I figure I need the payment by 3/7. Susan says she needs the payment by 3/14, and will order by 4/1, so we will have our pins by 4/29 (this leaves only a 2 week window for error) Once we cut off the orders, I will contact Susan with our total, and then she will get the pricing. I will PM everyone as well as post the price. Initially, I was going to just purchase them, and collect when I pass them out. But we have so many orders, which will amount to $900 or so, and I guess you can figure out why it will be pay first

Recap: Order cut off by 2/14 - 2/21
Payment to me by 3/7
Payment to Susan by 3/14
Susan will order and pay by 4/1
Pins delivered to me by 4/29

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments!

[kpros]

Hey Scott:

With the ability to schedule excursions right around the corner, I have a delima and I'm wondering if you can help me out. My plan is to do the eco tour of Castaway Cay at 9:45 a.m. Problem, with an excursion length of one hour, that will make getting to Serenity Bay by 11:00 quite a task for DH and me. If we're just a "little" late, will you wait for us???? I want to do both. I wanna, I wanna, I wanna . . . and oh yeah, I'll need a nap in the afternoon so doing the eco tour after lunch won't work. Any ideas?

 

[Scott H]

No Problem Mon, we be on Island Time.....

 

[cotomom]

Is there any interest in an iron on patch with one of the designs? If so, please let me know and I would be willing to investigate and/or coordinate a special order of these. My kids collect patches of everywhere we go, so this would be a super cool addition!!!

Thanks!
Kendra
