Hi Kara

That's the way to fight of the crowds and those big number posts.

Zazzle messed up Shari's pin shirt as well. They took it back and are going to reprint it. I hope it comes out correctly. It gets somewhat more complicated because of the "flipped" and "upside down" versions of the pin.

Kara, Sometimes the best navigators don’t know where they are going till they get there.

We may sail between Cuba and Haiti. My guess would be we head towards the PR and VI and towards the Leewards, as we have two days to get to CUR. Just looked at the DCL map of our cruise and it shows the route as between Cuba and Haiti.

New guess after some very rough figuring 1200 via Cuba/Haiti route vs. 1500 via the Leewards. Fuel cost would dictate the shorter route. Will have to sail at about 17 kts.

Scott-you have way too much free time on your hands!!!

Thought I would post a quick note about the Zazzle shirts now that we have them.

I bought two shirts - the premium mens and the women's babydoll. The men's premium shirt is really nice. And the design is just gorgeous. Oh, and as an aside, they screwed up the logo on the back, so I sent them and email this morning to see how I can get a new t-shirt. It was supposed to be the pin design on front, then the flipped design on the back. But the design ended up being exactly the same on front and back...

Kara,

We got the "pin" design shirts too. There were 2 versions: One had the same design on both the front and back, the other had the design 1 way on the front (as if you were leaving WDW) and the other on the back (as if you were arriving at DL). So, it depends on which design is chosen as to how the shirt is printed.

The shirts look great.

I ordered both of our shirts as the second design - the one with the image one way on the front, then the upside-down version on the back. But I got the shirt with the image printed the same, front and back, not upside down. Eric's was right, but not mine. I just hope I can get it resolved in less than 42 days and 18 hours!!

 

[bettemom]

Now I need to go home and check the design on our pin t-shirts. I just clicked a box, gave them some money and they showed up in the mail. I have Noooooo idea what the heck I ordered, oh nice, a surprise when I get home...

What t's are people wearing on 5/14 and on 5/28 ????

Bye, Kim

"Reposition This" on embarkation day. " . . . and all I got was this lousy t'shirt" on debarkation day.

In case anyone didn't know, zazzle wouldn't let us open a store without actually making a profit. i.e. cafe press's prices, all the money goes to cafe press, it doesn't make us raise the prices so we make any money. zazzle makes all the prices a dollar higher. Jeff decided that we would take those extra dollars and give them to Give Kids the world. GKTW is a phenomenal organization that sponsers sick kids and their families for vacations in central Florida. They put the whole family up for a week at GKTW and the families go to the local attractions and such and no cost to them. GKTW isn't just a hotel or something, it's a theme park on to itself. http://www.gktw.org/ Is the website. So as of right now we have $135.91 to send. It may not be much, but it helps....

That's actually very cool Jen. I like that Jeff is donating the cash, though for as much grief as we've put him through with two different t-shirt companies and four designs, I suppose I wouldn't have minded if he kept the $$.

 

[krdisneybound]

You guys are just too funny--------------

Been away this week but been trying to keep up w/everything.

Can't wait to get home and get back on my computer and DSL instead of dial-up. Ugh.

Diana -(tap and dap) - will see you at AK Event at end of August. I will either wear the Panama Canal shirts or the DVC member cruise shirt (should have by then hopefully)

Still no room no. yet either - maybe I'll bring a few extra umbrellas in case wind blows one or more of them away while on lifeboat or in chair by the pool while trying to sleep at night.

Jen,

That is VERY COOL! I am sure no matter what the amount comes to the GKTW people will be thrilled! Kudos to you and Jeff for your big hearts!

 

[Q's My Princess]

Kara,
Thanks for the update on the t-shirts sizing at Zazzle. I've been waiting to hear before ordering. I better order soon, to make sure they get it right!

Congrats on #7000! I especially liked the build-up!!

 

[krdisneybound]

Nothing like a large wet dog in a small dry stateroom.....My poncho is for the scooter...

Lynda - A large wet dog in a large house is bad enough - I can just imagine in a small stateroom. I think we should all chip in and get 'cash' his own stateroom..............

 

[bettemom]

Hi guys, Kim again...

Does anyone have a link for this t-shirt... and all I got was this lousy t'shirt" I do not recall ever seeing this one, and I could not find a link on Peter's list.

Thanks again,
Kim

 

[Az Pirates]

Kim,

Not sure my link will work - if it doesn't I think the shirt you're looking for is called the kingdom to kingdom shirt (#1) on the daily updates.
When you get to zazzle it is titled sweatshirt - but you can choose to have the design on a T shirt too.

edited to add:
oops - just went and looked and it does say all I got was this lousy sweatshirt. I think there used to be an option that said T-shirt too. Maybe we've had Jeff give us so many shirt options that one got dropped off?

[Q's My Princess]

Just ordered our shirts from Zazzle.

One polo w/pin design for DH.
One polo w/pin design for Ivanova's DH for designing our pin.
One baby doll w/pin design front/back for me.
One lime green t-shirt w/pin design front/back for DD.

Hope they all turn out!

I figured if they said to order 1 or 2 sizes larger, if I ordered 3 sizes larger, I could wash it and not worry about putting it in our dryer. Nope, no such luck. I still won't be able to put it in the dryer. I don't mind my shirts clinging a bit, but I don't care for what Lynda has termed "snakeskin!"

 

[Q's My Princess]

Kara,
Did you order the Repo this babydoll tshirt from Cafepress? If so, what size did you order in that?

 

[karaeric]

Kara,
Did you order the Repo this babydoll tshirt from Cafepress? If so, what size did you order in that?

Nope, I got too excited about the Repo This tshirt and ordered before Jeff added the babydoll style, so I just have a normal t-shirt from there...however, if there is anyone that would like to buy a large t-shirt w/Repo This, let me know. The large is too big for my DM, and the medium I ordered would fit her, so I could order the babydoll if someone wanted to buy our large...
