2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 2

[alikat99]

Amy, sorry your plans didn't go as you thought they would. Sometimes kids get out of sorts in unfamiliar surroundings. It sounds like maybe that's what happened last night.

The good news is there will be another time. And, you had a good time there -- except for the sleeping/lack of sleeping arrangements.

We did have fun, but we know that Madison has a problem sleeping anywhere but her own crib. But, that night was an especially rough one. Luckily, we have the go-with-the-flow attitude, so all was good.

 

[alikat99]

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I'm going to try to get that letter written today, before I forget.

 

[alikat99]

Ok, all you eBay sellers, today is 10 cent listing day. Just wanted to let you know if you have stuff to sell.

Mark & Mary - Loved the Disneyland report! Some of the pictures kind of looked like Mark was doing some digital scrapbooking, maybe a new hobby for Mark?

Actually, I had scrapbooking in mind when I made those pictures.

And moreso, there's a lot of pictures I didn't include in the report that I took specifically for use in the scrapbook. Here's a good example.

​

Disney had a 50th contest where you'd send your favorite pictures of trips. They made them into tile murals, like this one, that are spread all over the parks/resorts. Went out of my way a lot of the time to get a snapshot of one.​

Chris took Emily onto Haunted Mansion and Maddie and I went over to Pooh's Thoughful Spot to play. We met back up an hour later and went back to play at Pooh's place.

Isn't that spot just plain awesome? Perfect spot for kids to be in Pooh-land for a bit longer than the ride. They really found a great use for an area that had been basically abandoned for too long.

I totally agree!!! The girls just love that place. We did have to keep them away from the water fountains, but they love the little house, the slide and all the tunnels. I'm so glad that they created it.

I hear some adults like playing in there as well.

Walker & Cameron would have loved it a couple years ago....I would have loved it too. Much better than chasing a toddler around in the regular mainstream of people. Hopefully they will find more areas that can be adapted for young children to stretch their legs.

I think a lot of adults forget just how hard it is for a little one to sit in a stroller or stand in a line all day long. I'm sure all of you have seen the family who's on their once in a lifetime trip with a child who is just not happy to be there. Everyone gets upset, sometimes furious. It's truly heartbreaking. Hopefully more areas will come along to let the little ones regroup.

Mark and Mary - I really enjoyed reading all about your DL trip - made me want to go there even more in 2006 since I didn't make it there in 2005! Your pictures are awesome!!! And I don't think I mentioned it here but there's 4 pictures that I submitted included in those picture murals at DL - my dd found a few of them when she was out there in November - what a great idea that was but finding your own picture is not so easy according to dd because some of those murals are quite tall from what she told me.

I spotted the Pooh playground on my Dec trip - how cute - and sat down and watched the little ones and for some reason found myself in a daydream of the grand-baby playing there in 2 years. Guess I am ready to be a grandmother!

I really liked the first image from your t-shirt thread. When we did the repo cruise zazzle let verandaman use a picture of the ship because he had taken it himself (not a copyrighted photo). I know from using our own transfers and buying from zazzle the washing and wearing was way better with a professionally made t-shirt.

That's good to hear, because I'm sure that among all of us, we have a few pics of the Wonder.

Also, I would love to see if we have any artists on this thread, kids or adults. Sometimes, you just never know who has that type of talent.

 

[cherylp3]

Just a note, we should not use a lot of colors because it may end up costing us more.

That is good to hear that we can use photos

Roxann - I think Andy would be a great resource as to how to work with cafepress and zazzle.


Amy - I love your idea of getting the kids involved! Lots of creative juices flowing there.

I would love to see something along the lines of stating the Wonder is our Home Away From Home for October 22 - 26. To keep in line with the feel of DVC. Also don't know how everyone else feels about it but it would be nice to incorporate some DIS green into it. Since everyone on the ship will be a DVC'er but how many of us will be DIS'ers. Last, but not least, it would be nice to have some kind of design on the front of the shirt as well. The plain fronts last year were a little too bland for my taste.

I don't know if either cafepress of zazzle offer custom work, but I know when the couple did ours for the 10 day cruise the front artwork (one color) was embroidered and had our names embroidered as well. It was a more expensive shirt than what we had on the last Member Cruise but a really nice touch.

I'm open for whatever the majority wants.

 

[alikat99]

Ok, what about putting DIS in lime green on the front, maybe as a little logo in the upper left corner on the front. Then, we can create a design for the back. I don't know, just an idea!!

I like the idea of having something on the front and back. Last year, I felt like I wanted to wear my shirt backwards so the design showed more. As a matter of fact, Walker does wear his shirt backwards so he can see the logo.

I agree with Amy, I'm sure one of us took a picture of the Wonder that would be of the quality to use for a tshirt. That's great news that a picture is okay to use as it's not copyright material.

I like the second design done over on the DIS design forum with the front of the ship.

Do we know what the theme from DVC is for this cruise? I think it's "Celebrating Magical Milestones". If that's it, what about incorporating our tshirt theme along the same lines? I'm not creative (but I know many of you are ) with something like "Celebrating DIS friends" or something like that. Kind of along the same lines, yet unique to those of us here?

I like the idea of the lime green but would that be really expensive to do because of the bright color???

But maybe we can? Maybe there is someone who could come up with a price to do it for us? Like a side job, cash type thing on the side. Where we could have our shirts mailed to them, they could do the embroidery for those of us who want it, and then mail them to us when done. Of course, the cost for shipping and the work would be up to each individual to pay for. Then it could be done if we wanted it to be done, and not if that's what another family decided.

I know of two people on this thread who's Mom's both do very nice work. Maybe one of them would be interested in a little side business?

Just an idea......as I think brainstorming is a great idea as a group.

I agree! For the Repo. cruise we used cafepress and zazzle. They both let you do your own designs. Then, for our DCL Survivor t-shirt one of the DISers had a friend who did a nice embroidered t-shirt, hat, etc. I think I still have the design for this. I deleted the shirts from Zazzle and cafe press though.

I'm sure that my mom could do the name embroidery for those that want it. Maybe, like Cindy said, we can make it up to the individual. And, if we make the front design just a small logo on the left, then you can always add your name to the underside of the logo.

I will try to find the photo of our family wearing the t-shirts with this design embroidered on the front. They were very nice!

Sorry! Blocked web sight! I will try to post the image myself.
