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

[valbob89]

Just popping in say Hi!

I missed the shirt cut-off!! Oh Gosh!! That'll teach me to check in more often.

QUOTE]

Our shirt maker has advised me that the order for producing our material has begun. However, the factory is closing for 2 weeks and will begin production on our shirts the beginning of February.

She has also indicated there may be overrun shirts available and she will be asking them to increase the original shirt count by a few. Therefore, anyone who missed the order date can put in their order and Becky will try to fill it from the overruns. Overruns will be at the same cost and quality as the rest.

If they are not able to fill the wait list order a full refund will be returned. Order list will be filled in the order payment is received.

Send me a PM or e-mail at Valbob89@aol.com if you are interested in ordering a shirt.

November 10th - 17th is the cruise. And, wait for it, the four of us 'grown ups' are planning on doing the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Relay just before the cruise...

I'm planning to fly out at least a week before the cruise and will see who joins me before the Marathon...

Mmmmm.. Better get training then!!!

As you will be leaving the ship we will be boarding. I haven't been on the Dream yet and we are really looking forward to seeing the new ship.

Hi everyone,

A lot of people have been asking about the "Minnie" meet. This is in addition to the DIS Meet on the ship only some people want to meet before the meet. The majority of people are now staying at the Doubletree. Party time I do have a contract with them for group space (since then the price went up but not our price). I spoke to my contact there and I was told that on the 1st level there is a big lounge area which leads to a bar. I thought since most people are coming in on the 28th, how about we meet around 8:00 pm? I don't want to make it too early for people that will be out and about, yet I didn't want to make it too late. Please let me know if 8 pm works for you. For those not staying at the Doubletree, you are still welcome to meet there too. Please let me know who is interested in coming to meet our new family for 15 days at the "Minnie" meet?

I'm getting quotes from Hawaii shuttles for Aulani resort and we can get an 11 passenger vehicle for $110 each way and a 17 passenger vehicle for $187. I'll start compiling a list of passengers so we can figure out how big of a vehicle we will need. Please send me a PM if you are interested in joining us!

Wanted to get in here and post tonight and apologize to everyone about being out so long. The last 6 months have been some rough times between my 16 year old nephew dying in october and my mom having major surgey 4 weeks ago. I wasnt positive up until a week ago when we paid if we could even make it for sure..... but we are going and now very much looking forward to it!


Now about the FE, friends have kept me posted and I know from what ive read the majority wants groups which I think is great and like a poster said I will also print sheets with everyone on it so if there are people who want to give more they can. I think groups of 20-25 is the best solution as we are a big group overall and there is alot of traveling involved for everyone and space might be limited.
I also wanted to wait until everyone had to be paid in full which I found out some people have until feb now ( how are they so lucky lol) so we could have definite numbers but there is still alot of maybes on the spreadsheet which makes it tough to narrow down.
Please update the list if you were a maybe to yes or no so I can start working on the groups!
Looking forward to a much better 2012 and meeting everyone including old and new friends on this cruise!
Heather

I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope this next year is much better.

Bev, I think 8 sounds perfect. We plan to join the party!

Let me check w/DH and I'll get back to you.

Looking for something fun to do in Maui that doesn't cost triple digits! Anybody have any ideas?

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Val and I have been working on this since the beginning of this cruise booking. Val found a lovely Hawaiian Ceremony, I will try and tell you briefly what it is. We will need someone to act as a monerator. (Any kind of official or any Disboarder on board that will be willing to do this.) This person will read about the beauty of the Islands and the beauty of your love today. There will be a Lei exchanged which represents eternal commitment to each other After that there is the vow renewel and at the end of the service a lava rock and a Ti leaf is used to commerate the union.

It is not a very long ceremony and ties in the beauty of Hawaii and the love between us.

Those of you that are interested please let Val know. We were planning on decorating the area for the occassion.

Good Job.....this ceremony sounds beautiful and very appropriate. I will have to talk to DH about it and see how he feels.

Thanks Bev.....this sounds perfect. Please add me and DH John to the list. We're staying at the Doubletree and can't wait to see everyone. I also sent you a PM asking to be added to the list.

My DH and I are staying at the Mariott at the airport on the 28th. We would like to head over to the Double Tree (there seems to be alot of us DISers staying there) for the Minnie meet. So if any of the other DISers at the Mariott want to share a cab over to the Double Tree, just let me know.

 

[disneycruisegal]

Val, just emailed you to add us to the vow renewal list.

Getting sooooo excited for this cruise. Saturday night will be on the computer waiting for the excursions to open up for us "Gold Members" (always think of those Austin Powers movies when I say that). My DH is very happy that someone memtioned the Heaven and Earth Helicoptor tour is now an option for our cruise. I'm gonna pass on that one and probably do the Garden waterfall and McBride and Abberton tour by myself.

I haven't been to Hawaii before so I may not be much help. It seems people are booking the I'ao Valley & Maui Tropical Plantation tour & the Maui Ocean Center tour. Good luck !
