For those who asked me about parking, you can park there for the whole time we are on the cruise - complimentary. If you have any special needs regarding your room accommodations, don't forget to let me know. For those who would rather call me with your credit card number, please email me and I'll will send you my phone number. In order to save time, I will need the name on the credit card, billing address, security code (on the back of your card) and expiration date.

Can't wait to see everyone next month. Let the party begin.

Bev

If I understand this right...for us who are already on your list....do we need to send you CC information too or is this just for new reservations?

 

[MJGirl]

MJGirl - I have you on my list that I will be sending in on Sunday. If you want me to book this for you, I will need your credit card information etc and I will be forwarding you your reservation # when they input your information. You can cancel your reservation at any time or if you would prefer you can wait until you receive your reservation # from me.

Without a credit card number with your information, they will not guarantee the room. So don't miss the boat, email me at Bweiss923@aol.com

Bev

email sent!

Can you send your number ... I have unlimited long distance between Canada and US ... Rather talk on the phone then send all info in an email. Thanks.

Hi Lexa and everyone,

Whether you are on my old list or want to start a new reservation, I need everyone's credit card information in order for you to get put into Doubletree's reservation system. This is to guarantee your room and you will not be charged yet. In the event of a "no show" the hotel has the right to charge you if you don't notify them within their cancellation penalty period. No problem since we will all be there to party.

Thanks Bev for explanation....I'll send you email and please send me your phone number. I'm not comfortable to send CC info in email.

How could we not love all of you Connie ... I've been doing WW since January and am down 12 pounds. Hoped for more ... but at least 12 pounds are gone.

MJ

congratulations.....I am proud of you!

 

[SanDiegoSteph]

I didn't even notice, I just copied and pasted from the e-mail that they sent to me.

And so did I!!!

I guess I saw the worst possible side of Christian on the Panama Canal cruise and I cannot tolerate him because of this. He was actually quite nice on the Mexican Riviera cruise, but I will never forget how he behaved towards fellow DISers on the Panama cruise.

Corinna

This doesn't sound promising if he is the CD on our cruise

Not usually a Stitch fan, but this one is so cute, I might have to take him home!
.

I have to agree, it is pretty cute ... but why oh why couldn't it be Mickey. If they create a litho for this cruise, I hope it is with Mickey.

Hi everyone. First, I want to reassure everyone that if you requested a room at the Doubletree San Pedro, I have you on MY list. For those who called the DoubleTree about your reservation don't worry that they didn't have you listed as you aren't in their system yet. I signed a contract with them months ago and I gave them MY credit card to guarantee that these rooms would be held, and they are. I asked everyone that contacted me for your full names and whether you wanted 1 king size bed in your room or 2 beds in your room. I have the list. Since then, I have been getting PM's about people still wanting to join us, hence my inbox is full. What's next? I decided rather than to keep sending lists everytime someone wants to party with us that I would wait and send the list in on Sunday. So for anyone else who wants to stay at the DoubleTree prior to our WONDERful cruise, please email me your name, address, bed type, and date of arrival to
Bweiss923@aol.com . Along with your information I need your credit card # to guarantee your room and you will be charged if not cancelled within the cancellation period. Upon receiving the information and credit card number, they will then enter your information into their system and you will be given a reservation #. So please email all your info to me at
Bweiss923@aol.com I need this by Sunday 3/25. Thanks. Don't forget about our "Minnie" Dis Meet in the lobby area near the bar at 8 pm on 4/28.

Bev

Bev. thanks..I sent an e-mail but either way we have the minimeet on our list....

Hi Folks - Vistaprint t-shirts arrived today along with a 25% off coupon that says I can share with friends. No clue if it will work for you but PM me and I will share.

The shirts are an OK quality. I ordered long sleeve - white. They are white"ish" and not the same quality as my Ron Jon's shirts.

I will leave it to you if you are ok with the price.

I think I would have preferred a color and not white, but a color was not offered.

After the skirt and my other crafts, I did not want to try the iron on transfers. My Pirate night shirts will be a good knock around white T.....

I was able to figure out the low resolution issue and I am very pleased with the printing......

Who else ordered and are they pleased?


Seems like this is not the most ringing endorsement of a product, on a scale of 1-5. it would be a 3. But very prompt in shipping ahead of schedule.

 

[cdndisneydaddy]

Wow. This is so crazy. It feels like we booked this cruise so long ago. Now we are so close. Shari says the suitcases out in the room, sitting there with a few items in them are an eye sore. I say NO WAY!

Thanks again to all those who have taken the time to get activities, clothes, jewellery, etc for all of us.

This cruise is going to be......awesome.

I have been impressed with Vistaprint, the shirts are perfect for one use or two uses. And I have ordered other things and they have turend out great!

Hey guys...had Christian as our cruise director on quite a few of our cruises....felt he was OK but a little long winded and not as personable as others we have had. My DW and I have had long conversations with Brent and ofcourse he is our favorite. What actually happened on the other cruises that people really don' t like him? Hard to believe he would not like Dis people...in my mind they are like the heart of Disney.....l
Thanks all....

Vista only has white, gray and black shirts. The Spread Shirt Company I found has multiple colors and sizes but I don't know anything about them.

Copying the images to Photoshop and saving at a high resolution is a great solution, but not everyone has photoshop.

I got a call from Jen, who was having problems with low resolution on some of the images she copied. What I did for Jan is have her give me her Flicker sign-on, it doesn't have any personal info attached to it. Then I copied the images she wanted to her Flicker account from my photoshop files, took all of 5 minutes. Now she has them at the high resolution and can download them to Vista or any other site she wants. I tried the Vista site and didn't have a problem with resolution, which she was having when she just copied and pasted them into her computer.

You can open a Flicker account free, doesn't require any real personal info, just an e-mail address. If it bothers you to give me a password, after I download the images for you you can change the password.

Let me know if you want any of the images moved to your Flicker account. Send me a PM.

Val......just wanted to say again thank you so much for all of your help getting the images onto Vista for me! I REALLY REALLY appreciate it!!!

Jen

Loved them too!! Sometimes they would be in the atrium in the evening, or out by the adult pool in the afternoon! I regret not remembering to add them to my comment card because I haven't seen them in a while.
.........

You can always use the CONTACT US at the bottom of the DCL pages to send comments and suggestions.

"OH, I forgot to put on my comment card that......."

(I guess we never cruise with Mimosa or if we did we missed their performances.)

 

[eeyorelvr10]

Do you remember the cost? I plan on having a couple dresses done.

Well, not exactly and it differs if your getting cleaned and pressed or pressed o ly. Think a pressing was less than $9 for a suit, a dress was like $6 ish give or take. Pricing ranges from $.050 for unmentionables to $12 for dry cleaning. I'll have Megan my dd take a pic of the dry cleaning sheet and I'll post it when I get it on that other site as I can't remember how to post here. Sides, I forgot my photobucket name and password. She boards on Sunday and will be able to send pics til evening time.

Tom & Mariliu, I guess I'm just being too harsh, Christian isn't that bad. Long winded for sure but most of us have had the pleasure of sailing with many more personable CDs. This is just my opinion, but Christian is fake and as someone said, his personality changes once you put a mike in his hand and he is long winded. At least with Brent, and it doesn't help that he's easy on the eyes, at least he's all your and engaging with you when your conversing. Whenever I talk or attempt to talk with Christian, I feel like he's that little boy fidgeting I his feet to get away from you. I never feel like he's truly present in a conversation, unless he's in front of the stage. And he really isn't all that funny. As for his follow-thru, to me it's zilch.

I've asked a question to David and while it wasn't his job, he got back to my stateroom number, which he wrote down, and found an answer for me. I sometimes feel like if I'm wearing something disbands related, he find ways to avoid us. That's just my opinion. He's not really all that bad. But don't get me started on Trent,which thank god he won't be on here as a cm. if he's on as a gues, I'll be at the other end of the ship. Lol. So don't let us taint your perception. Meet him, he may have mellowed out some in the last few years.

I hope so. I am just about to send another PM. It won't be me doing anything with this as I cannot sew to safe my life, but I found a seller on Etsy who is happy to work with me on this.


.......

OK, then, what is the seller on Esty making?

[valbob89]

I may have found some of the pins we will be offerred, although one is missing

Where did you ever find them?
You are Amazing!!

But where is the SHIP?
For the TransAtlantic and the Panama Canal cruise I got a pin with the ship on it. For Alaska I wanted one but had to settle for all they had which was Chip and Dale making a totem pole. Later I learned there had been a ship pin. If I had known I would have looked at CM trading lanyards. Still would rather have an Alaska pin with the ship on it.

 

[poohluv2u]

Here is a Micky for you

Cool .. thanks Val
It looks like it is a pin
