I think it has to do with distribution rights. The distributor for the Captain America movie is Paramount Pictures. Dimension Films produced the Spy Kids 4 movie, but Disney is doing the distribution.

That makes sense! Thank you for explaining it. I didn't think of that.

This is what the door looked like when we stayed in Room 12008 in May on the Dream. I have a feeling the "powers that be" won't allow their guests to put poster putty or anything else that would stick to those doors. All of the doors weren't decorated with anything when we stayed there. I could be wrong so if it is a burning question I advise calling concierge and asking them. I'm sure this has come up before with Disboard people staying in concierge!!!!

If you count girl's camp the week before, I leave in 11 days, if not I leave the day after I come back which is in 17 days. So I really only have 11 days to get ready!!

I just got back from Fed Exing our box off to the DCL warehouse. It was chock full of FE stuff and sundry other things. For $17, it cost less than paying the airlines for another bag, plus we aren't hauling 16 pounds of stuff around before we get to the ship. It is supposed to arrive there in two days time by ground. Now I'm really feeling like this vacation is around the corner.

I just got an email that my FE that I ordered on eBay on Tuesday is shipping TODAY!

YAY!

The person I ordered it from makes them to order as well...I'm impressed (well I have to see it yet). I'll take pictures when I get it and post them!

My TA sent off my documents for DCL and WDW today as well. There is all kinds of exciting mail heading to our house this week!

I'm still concerned about my FE gifts too. Two out of our three gifts are for door and now they won't work for concierge. Need to think of something I can do for the three concierge cabins on my list.

I read that you can't ship food to the ship. Does that mean I can't mail down candy or snacks?

 

[sdchickie]

We leave in 12 days! wow, it's almost time to start the 10 day countdown!!!

 

[TiggerAllie]

We leave 2 weeks from tomorrow! That means the end of school is 2 weeks from today! Hooray!

Since we are getting ready to leave (some sooner than others), here are some tips related to before we leave. The last two have been posted before.

1. Arrange to have your mail held and stop your newspaper delivery.

2. DO your cruise documents online, PRINT THEM OUT AND BRING THEM WITH YOU!

3. Use a label maker to tag everything that might leave the room. One DISer got his/her disposable camera back this way. Make and bring extra labels in case you forget something.

4. Put contact info on your memory cards for your camera or on tape media if using a camcorder. If you drop them you might be able to get them back. Or, take a picture of your business card or address label with the statement "Please return to". Keep that as the first picture on your memory card.

5. Take advantage of the ability to send a box to the ship ahead of time - a great way to get FE gifts or pirate gear on board without giving up valuable luggage space. In the box, include what you want to ship and a packing list detailing the contents of the box. Address your package(s) to:
Disney Cruise Line Warehouse
Guest Name / Stateroom # (GTY, if you don't know what it is when you send the package)
8633 Transport Drive
Orlando, FL 32832
Phone: 407-566-8196

6. Type up address labels to apply to postcards. That way you and your family have the addresses at hand and you just peel and stick onto the postcard, write your private message and then send. Also, at the end of the cruise you will get color coded luggage tags to put on your luggage. Information needed is: (1) Number of pieces of luggage (1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3), (2) Stateroom number, (3) Name, (4) address (including city, state and zip code). Make those up in advance on your address labels. Then when you have to pack it will make it a little quicker. Plus by being printed it is easier for the porters who unload the ship to help keep your pieces together. Tag measures approximately 4 inches wide by 2.5 inches tall to help you figure out which size label to use. Or, use the freebie address labels that you get in the mail.
