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

[spros]

I got a T.O.P - a first

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. Now, I normally wear a small womens t-shirt (LL Bean, Lands End, Eddie Bauer, etc.). But based on what people were saying here, I ordered an XL in the babydoll style. Boy, am I glad I did! It's still a bit tight and cannot be shrunk at all! 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...

Hey Kara:

Same thing happened to me but I thought I'd ordered the up-side down and I got flipped instead. They were great - told me to return it and they'd replace it (oh yeah, I got to increase my XL to a XXL in the raglan and I'm not THAT big) and they sent me an e-mail letting me know that they received the wrong shirt and they wre crediting my charge card for the postage I had to pay to return they shirt They'll get my return business.

We are arriving on 5/13 at 7:00am. We will rent a car and then drive to Radisson at the port. I'd like to go to WDW on Friday, but after flying all night with a 2 year old, I don't see it happening!

Once in LA, we are using Disney transfers to a Disney hotel and then we'll catch a cab/walk across the street to the Fairfield Inn. It's kind of a crazy way to do things, but after trying to get a reservation from SuperShuttle- I'd rather WALK to Disneyland from the port than give them my money!

[Scott H]

me thinks Scott is a bit long winded

Now I am going to get a complex...... not!! Given my line of work a complex is pretty hard to have. Water and Duck’s back comes to mind.

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

I wish, I only sleep about 4-6 hours a day, Just arranged for another SCUBA class before we sail. Between Job and teaching I have to use my time efficiently. Actually very easy to do with my GPS map program.

Jeff and Jen way cool your donation to GKTW, a very worthwhile charity and a most gracious gesture on your part.

Time to run home and walk the dogs with Lynn, before she has to go to work.

I should have broke this up into several responses I could of had more posts They are mine all mine

 

[BobandLee]

Here's the latest post count... me thinks Scott is a bit long winded

Kinda says it all, doesn't it.
Just Kidding......

 

[JenKatt]

I'm glad ya'll approve about the GKTW thing. Many of the kids at my hospital would qualify for a trip there. I was almost thinking since all of us are so blessed in this world maybe we could do something more for these kids. Just a thought.

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Good evening everyone!

Jeff & Jen: Nice idea about GKTW. I often see kids from that program when I'm at WDW and my heart goes out to them. Very worthwhile charity.... nothing like Disney to help give a family a bit of joy in a time of anguish.

Everyone talking about the shirts reminds me .. I better get off my butt and order my shirts... esp if there have been mixups with the "flipped" pin design.

Kay: Welcome to my dial up world....

 

[seaulater]

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!!

See, I've been putting off ordering our shirts just so I can get clear as mud on all of this.

I really want to get the repo this baby doll for me, but I hate shirts that are too tight. Guess I could order the biggest and then offer it up for sale if it doesn't work and then reorder a second time.

Okay, I need to figure out what the heck I am going to do. Decisions, decisions.................

And to think.....my Disney decisions are just so easy to make!

Okay it's PANIC time!
I have misplaced the list that I had... of lists that I am on!

I'm DOOMED!

 

[EpcotKilterFan]

So when should we start doc watch '05???

Or start a pool as to who will get their doc's first..... It will be a LOONNG time for mine, I just know it.

Either way I will watch my mailbox and sidedoor.

I am thinking about actually taking an extra bag instead of shipping a box. It will be cheaper

Mine will be the last to arrive based on the 10 day Christmas Cruise and having used the same TA for this as I did for that one! I guess that's the price you pay when you get the best deal you can and then work over the TA to give you even more. Well............it's worth 1/2 of his commission and I can wait. The pamphlet that came was wrong anyway and didn't even mention Pirate Night even though we all knew about it!

The way things have been going for us, we will be the very last group to get our documents. So far we have received -- nothing.

No shore excursions. No passport letter. No stateroom number.

I have this fear we won't get our stateroom number until we arrive at Port Canaveral. Who do I think will get their documents first -- Lynda and Cash (I'm a sucker for doggies! ).

All right , New Topic.
How many of you have been to your doctor? What did they tell you about the immunizations or prophylaxis for malaria for the cruise? Did any of you go to a travel clinic?
