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

[SerbianPrincess]

Love the ideas Val!! I have to go to Vistaprint and start working on mine

 

[MousseauMob]

And right now, the Disney store is having a 25% off sale with the code "Happy25".

Thanks for this, I picked up something for pirate night and for Champagne girls as well as a couple of things for the kids, and saved with this and free shipping!

I put the flowers together with the hair clips for the Champagne Girls. How do they look:

I am putting in a Vista Print order with the designs I am using coming from my Flicker page http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmvandy/sets/72157628762808959/, which anyone is welcome to access and download from.

Val - these look great! Thanks for the offer we don't need shirts, but they look awesome.

The kids are all set - I'm still missing something for Formal Night because I've gained too much weight to fit in my formal wear. Gotta figure that out soon! Oh, and magnets - need to get on that soon also!

A couple of you have said you were having trouble downloading to Vista. If you want me to order them for you and bring them with me to the ship for you or mail them to you before, I'll be happy to. I am ordering t-shirts and their cost is $7.23 each. I plan to wear them with the Hawaii shirts as a over blouse.

I'll hold off putting in the order for a couple hours in case anyone wants to me to order something for you. Send me an e-mail if you do. Valbob89@aol.com

I wish Vistaprint would have kids size t-shirts. So I orders few for myself and I'll make few more at home for kids with Amy's transfers which we used last year and they are fantastic. I already ordered plain t-shirts from Jiffy Shirts. They are great quality and cheap.

Had to share - we were able to book the last excursion we were hoping for, it was sold out, but when I checked today it was available! I'm so excited!

 

[Evenean]

Love the hair clips!

I'm looking forward to the Champagne Girls! It sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to talk to everyone.

 

[dolphingirl47]

Me too - I keep looking but haven't found anything yet. Hoping when spring gets a bit closer it gets easier.

Very cute - I may cave for these.

I have found a bunch of nice ones on Amazon. I will get a couple once I have been paid.

Dress on last link has same pattern, just mine is in light blue. I ordered it straight from Maui and price was the same

Well done. What excursion did you end up booking?

It is a lot of fun. During Champagne Girls on the Panama Canal cruise, I discovered my new favourite sparkling wine, Enchanted Rose.

I love the purple version of this dress. I am hoping to get a pink one for Champagne Girls, the purple one and hopefully a blue one.

Corinna, I vote for dress number 2. It's so hawaiian and pink and sweet and romantic. I LOVE it.

Thanks. I'm glad everyone is liking the flowers. I think they will do nicely.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

THIS IS FOR ERIK.......


I heard back from KrisannB on FB. She had to cancel this cruise so we can take her off of all the lists. She said she sent you an email, but that she has been having technical problems and maybe you didn't get it.

After we had booked Aulani we were hoping to switch our beach excursion in Kauai to the Hollywood and Waterfalls tour. Unfortunately it wouldn't let me book it for the 3 of us, and became sold out. But we were able to switch it today.

BTW - when do we pay for the excursions booked? Do they take it out of the onboard account?

They're cute, but I'm so short and round I just can't picture them on me.

My group is taking the Hollywood & Waterfalls tour. If you get a chance you need to see the Descendants ! The whole movie is filmed in Hawaii and there is a scene in a rest. the same rest. that we will be having our lunch on the tour. Excursions are taken from on board account.

When we were on the Wonder in October they had changed the discount from the 25% after $100 to 10% of any purchase. Not sure if they have changed it again.

Becky e-mailed me today to say I should receive the last of the material today, only 6 sections. All of them are promised and paid for. Due to the way the fabric was printed, I didn't cut it by the yard, but by the repeat or section. Because each section was 39 inches, instead of 1 yard, I had to order and pay for more fabric. She also advised the shirts should arrive by 3-15. I anticipate getting them to you by 4-1.

I ordered a few extra shirts, don't have 2XL nor 3XL left, but I do have at least one small, medium, large and XL. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks Val !

Has anyone noticed that the prices are different between the services offered when you look specifically at the spa offerings and when you try to schedule an appointment? In particular, the manicure and pedicure. If you look under the spa for a pedicure it is $45. When you schedule it as an activity, the price is $70. The manicure is $25 under the spa services and $44 when you try to schedule it. Something must be wrong somewhere.

I hadn't noticed. I haven't booked anything yet. I was waiting till I got on board.

A brief update on our Champagne Girls

I'll start putting my list together by March 1st. I'll contact DCL by April 1st and they will get back to me by April 15th. So far it looks like we have roughly 75 ladies wanting to attend. I think that's fabulous!!!

Also, I received the flowers for our hair and the clips that go with them. I just have to glue the clips to the flowers. They are not as nice as the original flowers that I wanted to get, but they are the right color. The ones that I initially wanted were not available. So this was the next best choice. We'll look fine with our flowers and our leis in pink. Our group picture will be very pink and lovely.

Here's a pic of our flowers:

They are cut Deb ! Thanks again for doing this. I am so excited !

 

[castoff]

That was about 40 pages of updates! I'm glad you all are sharing all this good info!
Val, thank you SO much for the fabric. I will post my pants here soon. (I hope!)

I wanted to share these with everyone: http://www.disneystore.com/disney/s...talogFromSearch=10002&storeId=10051&N=1000292

Aren't those cute? I ordered some for me and DD for our cruise. And right now, the Disney store is having a 25% off sale with the code "Happy25".

When I get them in, I'll take a picture of those with the shirt fabric. I bet they'll go cute together!

Those are cute ! I keep telling my DH I don't need another thing for this cruise. A need is different from a want though.

I am spending a happy day working on Fish Extender gifts today. I have badly misjudged the supplies that I need this time round so it is being done in stages, but that is OK. I completely finished 15 of the girl's gifts and have to add one more component to 60 when this arrives hopefully on Monday. Later I will do as many as the boy's gifts as I have materials for. I might also be able to start on the gifts for the ladies.

I am also hoping to work on my magnets over the weekend.

Corinna

That's what I worked on today. I signed up for another group. I hope people don't mind getting different things then the first group. I am making so much more work for myself.

I put the flowers together with the hair clips for the Champagne Girls. How do they look:

Looks beautiful Deb !

The "one size tube dress" says fits chest 30"-36". That's one size??? There is no way this chest would fit in a 36" tube.

That's what I was thinking. They are pretty though !

 

[castoff]

Well I did go through the pages quickly to catch up. Hope I didn't miss anything. Going to be busy for me till cruise time. Back to work Monday with a real early call time. I expect 15 hr. days the funny part.........I will be in summer time clothing suppose to feel like summer and I don't think it will get out of the 50's.
