8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #4

Wristband Info

I know we had been talking about wristbands. Here is information on the company I used. I used wristbandconnection.com when I ordered wristbands for dd's school. I got the black/red (school colors) with printing on one side. I went with them because they seemed to be the only company who would give a price break for quantities under 1,000. 500 wristbands cost me $250.00 which is 50 cents each. Free shipping on orders over $50. They were very prompt. I don't know if it even took a week for the order to come. I ordered them last summer. The words were debossed or molded into the band. Sunken lettering. They have a cool font called "Bones"

I emailed them to ask about using own artwork and they will.

They also allow mixing sizes and colors as long as the text stays the same.

So here are the options based on ordering 500 wristbands.

1 Side Text Only-50 cents each
2 Side Text Only-54 cents each
1 Side Text & Pic-55 cents each
2 Side Text & Pic on front-59 cents each

Capt Jack’s EB Repo 2008 and/or
A Pirates Cruise For Me!

I have found a small skull & crossbones clip art that we could use.

Pricing for other quantities:
100-199 1.05
200-249 .95
250-399 .85
400-499 .65
500-749 .50

I have tried to take a decent picture of mine, but I can't get it to show the print.

Any thoughts?

Evening all! I see we are on to part 4.

Hear an interesting rumor today, while doing a GS cookie booth. The other mother I was with, her mom is a CM in WDW. She recently was promoted to another position, but was a character handler. They have been holding auditions for Tink! I guess some women were coming out of the audition crying, because they wanted to be the first Tink. When Tink appears she will be located in Toon town in the main tent, where the princesses and other characters are! So here is the chance to meet and greet with Tink and get her autograph! Also got the scoop on Capt Jack. He doesn't sign autographs, because when they first tested it, his line was way too long! Also I guess there have been mixed reviews on the Pirate & Princess parties. DD and I will find out for ourselves on May 2nd, I got us tckets! Interesting what you can find out when working a cookie booth!

We had a great time at the Pirate and Princess party last August! i hope you guys will too!

I know we have some math experts here so I was wondering if somebody can help DD & I. Her & I both get the same answer...which is wrong!

Solve the following by the linear combination method.

3x-y=14
-3x+4y=-6

If I remember what the linear combination method is:

The 3X and -3X should cancel out, the -Y + 4Y would be 3Y, and 14-6+8, so you get the equation 3Y = 8, which means Y = 8/3.

Let me know if that's right.



See next post for the rest!

Let me know if that's right.

Then i finished the problem:

Substitute Y=8/3 back in the first equation

3X - 8/3 = 14

solve for X = 50/9


I plugged both answers back into both equations and got what I was supposed to, so I think it's right.

Wow Mike thanks for doing that!

It is exactly what I get & then when you plug in 8/3 & solve for X I get 5.5? But if you plug the numbers in to check your answer it doesn't come out even?

Good evening everyone!

So,I'm excited....my mother wants to surprise my dad (the original disney fanatic in the house) with a surprise weekend in June....wants me to come and she will cover (part of the surprise for dad!)....

We are thinking the Grand Floridian....always wanted to stay but not stay the length we usually do at WDW there..so a mini trip would be great!(this would also mean I have stayed at all MK resorts!)

I know this is our "TOAL cruise" thread but I am sure some of you had to have stayed here...any helpful hints? Also I have never noticed...do all the rooms have balconies? (mom loves them!)

I am soooooooo excited!

Have great night everyone!

Chrissie

How fun!! I've never stayed there, but I bet you'll have a wonderful vacation!

oops you beat me to it! yep that's exactly what I got & my mistake was trying to reduce that fraction. doh!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I owe you another drink!

No problem. That was more fun than studying for my nuclear pharmacy midterm! Actually, I just finished a lab report, which was I happened to be on the laptop instead of studying.

And I think it's me that owes you a drink anyway.

So how's that thesis coming?

Solve the following by the linear combination method.

3x-y=14
-3x+4y=-6

I come up with

x=16.666666/3 which I finally figured equals 50/9
y=8/3

It does work. I wish I could figure out a better answer for 50/3 divided by 3 to give you a better fraction. But my brain isn't working that good right now!

My DD14 helped me as I was helping her with linear equations just a few days ago. Great team work!

PS Does this subscribe me to this thread now?

Is this what you are trying to do Diane?MathStuff

I guess that I am really late on this. In the time it took me to refresh my knowledge on this topic Mike had the answer already. At least I have a head start on this when DD gets to it next year.

Shhhhhhh!

Glad you're doing nuclear phamacy & not I!

Nope 50/9 is where I should've left it. That's where I got messed up. Thank you for your help too! What a bunch of math wiz's here!

Is this what you are trying to do Diane?MathStuff

Thanks Roger! I actually tried that site, but it didn't help me! I was too lost!

Okay DD actually did pretty good on her answers except she came up with 5.52 & 2 2/3. I told her not to simplify her fractions & she is getting it now I think!

Thanks again everybody!!!

Touristy as in what?
Are you looking for DL souveniers (sp?) or something else? Three or four of the hotels along the strip from HoJos to the main entrance have small gift shops that have Disney merchandise, inlcuding HoJos itself. They have California themed merchandise too. If you have a car, Walmart is a 5-10 minute drive and has the usual Walmart Disney section.

Monica, I'm looking for a variety of stuff. The shops around WDW usually have items (t-shirts, mugs, key-chains, etc.) that are just Florida related as well as Disney stuff that is non-WDW but indicates "Florida" or "Orlando". I'm really looking for a variety of things that I can bring back as souvenirs (sp?) for family and friends without breaking the bank.

Good evening everybody!

Long time no post.

Took me most of this evening to upload these pictures but here is what I've been working on in my spare time over the last 2 months. Unfortunately I've been unable to post as much as I would have liked.

Let's see if this works:

Lorri you could probably find stuff like that at DTD. There is a variety of stores there. And here is a list of gift shops in the area. Anything on Harbor or Katella is probably close to DL.

That costume is beyond stunning! You are very very talented!

Hi Chrissie
DH and I stayed there last July for our anniversary weekend.
I ordered breakfast to be delivered the first morning and it was very nice to have that on our balcony overlooking the lake
We actually shared one breakfast order because Darren is not much of a breakfast eater. This worked fine for us because we had an early lunch ressie at the Coral Reef.
I've forgot the name of the building we were in but we were right near the pool too. It was nice to have the monorail so close by and to be able to toddle back to our room after Victoria and Alberts (too much good food ). We also were able to watch the electric parade of floats from our balcony Saturday night.
The rooms are nice, I'll try to post pics tomorrow

 

[darthrugby]

Thanks Diane,

I actually had alot of fun making it although my wife thinks I'm nuts!

WOW Peter, it looks great. Have you heard about the new luggage restrictions. You are really going to show the rest of us up. I am sure Nastassja will look beautiful in this.

I know, I heard about the luggage. Johnna is already calculating how much this extra suite case is going to cost.

Hi Roger, Hi Lorri!

Most of our spouses think we're nuts for spending so much time here

Really wonderful job
Can't wait to see it in person
