April 29, 2012 ~ Aloha! ~ Inagural Wonder to Hawaii-Part 3

[valbob89]

So sorry, but we have been traveling & my iphone was glitching with outgoing email. But now we are at DL and using wifi so maybe I can answer you here.... The layout is fine with me, so whatever placement is easiest for you, given any other requests/constraints you need to follow, is fine. The border does not have to be at a certain placement at all, and the edge will be fine, but...if it's easier to put it in the center, I can use it that way too.

I would have expected the border to run lengthwise as well, but it will still work for me anyway, & I will still happily wait for it to arrive with the shirts.


.

Bev, thanks for your understanding. I'll send your fabric with your shirts.

I know this is for the fabric........It does mean we are getting closer for the shirts. Can't wait to see them.

I am expecting the shirts by mid March. Yesterday I sent out the first batch of fabric. Now that I have gotten the hang of the USPS on-line system to produce the pre-paid shipping labels it shouldn't take me long to get them out to you once they come. I'll post a message when they are here. Also, the USPS on-line system provides a tracking and batch delivery system so I'll send you the mailing confirmation and tracking number. I've indicated the system should also send this to your e-mail address so my message may be redundant.

On a completely different note - not to say the fabric issue has almost driven to me drink -- I got a flyer in the mails today from BevMo concerning their 5cent sale. They have Diane Disney's Silverado Vineyards '06 Merlot in the sale, two for $30.14, I've never seen Silverado included in the sale before and it is yummie, might have to get some to take with us in April.

Hello fellow Hawaii cruisers....DW is very down today. We were going to see Barry Manilow on Sunday at Radio City in NY and it was cancelled today, as a matter of fact all 4 of the scheduled concerts were cancelled although we have no idea why....she absolutely loves Barry....the concert was rescheduled for May 2nd--guess we cannot make that since we will be on our way on the WONDERful ship to Hawaii....always next time.

I just read what now has to be one of my favorite Disney stories in the new Insider today. Did all of you see the one about Mickey aka the Tooth Fairy? How can you not love all this company with the great things it does

Sweet story! We had a similar experience in Jackson Hole Wyoming. During a chuck wagon dinner, DD bit into corn on the cob - and the tooth was gone. Later when we returned to the room, there was a note, stuffed animal, and dollar in the room from the tooth fairy. No Mickey - but the cutest glitter / confetti all around. It's these types of extras that are so touching!

Info sent. Two things I thought of to add, not sure if it was mentioned or not. Cinco De Mayo and has the group decided on when we are wearing the group shirts ?

I have added Cinco De Mayo on my list of things to include.

I don't know if a decision has been made about wearing the group shirts. I assume a lot of people will wear them for embarkation. I am definitely planning to do this, but the DIS meet is always a bit frantic with various things being given out and various lists being updated. So it would be nice if there was a different opportunity to take a group photo.

EllaEnchanted - I don't remember seeing anything about payments. Knowing me, I may have missed it. When do you need the money for this treat? Looking forward to my first Champagne Girls meet. Fran

So excited ! My DH would be the one drinking the Merlot. I would say get both bottles !

I would suggest the group pick one day that we are in port. At least we know those dinners are casual. How about when we are in Kauai. No special reason except we are only in port till 5:30. This way we know people won't be missing dinner on the ship.

Since I had to change my flights, I am now flying out of Charleston. What day are you flying out ?

Hi we dont have air yet but we will be flying out on April 29th if u are ever in Folly Beach or Charleston Please look us up

Well since people where sharing what they were doing Pre cruise I thought I would share as it was finalized about a hour ago. We will be spending the day before we sail at DIsneyland with a cruise kick off lunch at Club 33. So excited. It will be my third time there but there will also be 3 first timers as well. What a great way to kick off the trip.

Congrats! Have a great time!

Medical update- I went to the dr yesterday and I am now on meds. It seems the muscles are looking for antibodies which I guess i don't have enough of. I have to go for a cat scan tonorrow to check the thymnus glad and if it is enlarged it has to be removed. I spoke to my wonderful dr back home and he assured me all the right things are being done. He said the chance of the gland being enlarged is slim- but with my luck who knows . He said the meds work in most of the cases and it might take a while for the right dose. If that does not work the nuerologist here said something about transfusions. I asked about the cruise and all she said was we will have to wait and see what the results are. Needless to say I am very upset. hope I get some good news soon.

On another topic the Diseny ship left here yesterday (Port Canaveral) and was not out about 5 minutes when it had to turn back for a medical emergency. Hope all is well there

More Pixie Dust to you that meds will solve the problem and cat scan comes out normal!

Isn't Folly Beach pretty far East??? I seem to remember getting a business card from someone in that neck of the woods.

Hi Fran, it's $0, $5 or $10 cash at the door depending on which category of taster you are. It's all explained in a link on page one. You can choose to be an honorary member, sipper or taster.....some tasters call themselves guzzlers. haha.

Happy Goofy, hope you find the correct medication level asap and are feeling fine soon.

Alan, sooooo envious of your Club 33 lunch, hope you have a great time.

Corrina, will be sending you payment for the jewlery workshop asap.



Staring to get really excited for our cruise

I emailed DCL about the pre-order sale for the t-shirts. I more or less told them that customers would like to have an image that they could see before they spent $30-$60 on a t-shirt. Below is the response I got from them. Really didn't tell me anything that we didn't already know. Nor, did it say they would try to make them larger.





Thank you for your e-mail.

I would be happy to assist you!

I can't remember now where the information is about Aulani transportation or who was organizing that. I'm pretty sure I can't use the transportation to Aulani, since I need to arrange for pickup around 1:30 from Pearl Harbor. But I may be able to be in for the trip back to the ship, and I am interested in the operator being used, as maybe I can just book them on my own for the way out. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

I found this link in another thread. Disney Store always had a few DCL items, but now seems they have a lot more. Maybe someone will be interested, so i'm posting this here:

I do love wearing Disney, DCL, and DVC items, but, boy, I think Disney ought to give us a break in the prices for all the free advertising we do. And thanks for the link!

For all the newbies out there head to the first page and sign up for the FE.

So far we have 66 cabins and that will be broken down into groups of no more than 25 but many people are doing more than one group, just let me know when signing up!

Deadline is March 15th so groups and maps can be made.

 

[Fivepin]

Thought I would share. I know someone had asked about this design. I caught Milliepie-she's been on every now and then in between school.

We're going to have some beautiful decorated doors!

Can you give me a little more info on what the FE is? I never really got a clear understanding
