Hello everyone,

After much deliberation DW & I decided to cancel this cruise. It's just too much money to come up with
We have two trips to WDW in October and December and a 7 night on the Fantasy in December.
So I bid you all farewell and safe travels. Perhaps we'll revisit this cruise while onboard the Fantasy in December.
Take care all
Dee

Sorry to see you go too. Don't you hate it when that pesky financial reality stuff hits!!

But I agree, you do have cool stuff coming up. I removed your info from the FE spreadsheet. Maybe next time!

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to share my tshirt that I ordered from Vista Print. Vista Print isn't the greatest of quality, not as good as Zazzle or Cafe Press but it does allow you to order shirts with Disney images, names without being denied due to copyright. So, for our Panama Cruise last year we all used Vista. They also have great discounts year round if you sign up for their emails. Anyways, here are pics of the front and back- I had a good friend/coworker modify the back scroll design a bit to stretch it out/make it more square than rectangular because since Vista isnt the greatest site for cropping/stretching it wouldnt allow me to make the original image bigger, but luckily my talented friend was able to modify it and you cant even tell she did so, it looks so great. I'm so excited to wear this on the cruise!

The shirt looks wonderful!!!! DD and I are planning similiar shirts. Can't wait. Joan

 

[Eleblanc]

I can't believe you already got the shirts made. I would be so tempted to wear it already!!!

I know, I am tempted! I probably will wear it a few times, it has an inky smell so it needs to be washed first anyway. I just wanted to order it now in case Vista changed their policy and started blocking Disney images due to copyright, I wanted to be sure I had my shirt in case something like that happened. Now I can relax.

Hello all!
We booked this cruise as soon as it was offered, but avoided committing because we're scared we won't be able to afford it. Almost daily, I entertain the angel & devil on my shoulders (yes you can!; no you can't!) especially since we already have reservations for Disneyland this August and Disney World next February. I finally decided I'd at least introduce myself instead of lurking on the board.

I'm Amy and will be cruising with DH Steve - kids are grown so it's just us. We're from northern IL (tiny town of Rochelle); 2nd dining; Room #6011.
We're DVC members (AKL & BLT) and this will be our 3rd cruise (W Caribbean & Alaska last year). We normally love doing the FE, but bag space & weight will be limited so we might opt for the Secret Mickey exchange instead.

I really appreciate all the info that's been posted here already and LOVE the logo!! I'm also very impressed with how organized our page 1 is! Thanks to those keeping that utd!

Yes, welcome! DH Tom & I are also travelling solo. We did AK last year, too. We will be at Aulani this summer and WDW next Feb. with our DD, DSIL, and our darling granddaughters (the first time for the girls) so we are also biting the bullet and scrimping and saving for this cruise. But, God willing, all will work out. It's worth it just to see the fabulous ports we will be calling on. We did the Med in 2007, and are thrilled to see Greece! Hope it works out for you.

Nicole,
I'm sending you a PM about this as I need your help!

Nicole,

Can you please post a link to the "restretched" graphics so we can save it on our computers until we get the shirts made? They are simply fabulous. Thanks so much.

Here is a link to the PDF graphics I used on the shirt. The life preserver one I did not have to make any changes to. The scroll one was the one I modified to be more square instead of rectangle so Vista would let me stretch it larger. Hope this helps!

Hi all !
We decided this cruise was just to great to miss out on ,plus our son,Cousin Orville and family are going. So me,Gina and Bruce will be sailing with you afterall !! We chose a cheaper cabin, GTY Cat 11B, and we'll have 1st seating dining. We are from Virginia. Not sure about the FE or Secret Santa but will get back on that later. Kevin has begun to make plans. So far we're doing a private tour in Athens and Ephesus. The last time we were in Malta we missed out on the Turkish Schooner, so hope to do that this time. Looking forward to chatting with everyone on these boards and we'll be counting the days !
