I am in process of putting together the list on Microsoft Words. In the next few weeks, i am going to send you a PM confirming your confirm# and last name to make sure it is correct.

If anyone else is interested to add on the list, let me know.

Also, keep in mind, there are over 100 diners interested, and we may have to split up in half depending on DCL. If anyone has a concerned, please let me know!

IzziBob, i will send you a complete list when i am done!

Susan, (Ivanova) I still need your confirm # and last names please!!

Just received an email from the Dolphin Encounter in Curacao and the lady is advising to book through your Cruiseline Excursion Manager for this.
I've written back and hopefully will get a straight answer, or maybe that IS the straight answer

Well that was quick.... She wrote back and this is the quote re the Dolphin Encounter.....

"Unfortunately we cannot directly book you though us because we have appointments with the ship that they reserved the available spots."

Sooooooooooooooooooooo I don't about the other stuff booked.

Cheers,

I just purchased a DCL Survivor shirt from Zazzel! (The latest design with just the logo on the back.)

Total cost was just over $20 with shipping. I'll take pictures of the actual item once I receive it so that everyone can see how they turn out.

Hopefully we won't encounter any problems with the company like Renee did!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you don't have any problems.

 

[piglet33]

I had better luck with Zazzle!

At least they have a tracking # to find out where the shipment is!

Cafepress has to resend my order. So it's back to waiting!

I got a tracking number for my Cafepress order. Mine came DHL Home by way of the Post Office.

At least you got a response to your email. I sent one on Tuesday and still haven't heard from them. I'll wait and see what they say in a couple of months. Either way, we're still going to go to the aquarium. Just not sure abuot the Dolphin Encounter.

 

[piglet33]

For those that have dealt with Zazzle how is their sizing?
Do they fit small, large, or is the sizing given pretty well on?

Cheers,
Grumbo

OK, I just measured the Zazzle shirts against the Cafepress ones and here is what I found:

Zazzle shirts are the same width as the Cafepress ones but about 3 inches LONGER. You should see Haley's shirt, she is going to swim in it. I am going to see if I can shrink it in the wash to make it fit better.

The other thing I noticed is the design seems like it will crack because it is stiffer or harder on the Zazzle ones. The design on the Cafepress ones seem more
softer.

Again, this is just my personal opinion, and my experience with the Zazzle personnel have nothing to do with my feeling about the design on the shirts.

We will still go, but this sucks, how the cruise ships book all of the excursions, up the price, and you can't book directly.

Thanks for the email address. I just resent my email to her so let's see what she says.

I know I feel the same way about them holding the spots for the cruise ships. That's not fair since we can go to the Aquarium and do the Dolphin Encounter a lot cheaper than DCL is offering it even when paying for a taxi!

I'll let you know what she says.

That seems incredibly unfair, ESPECIALLY since Disney isn't even offering Dolphin Excursions online for Curacao!!! Are they planning to add this on later for the August group but not the May one??? Something's not right with this picture! Are they sure it's OUR cruise ship they're holding the spaces for??? There could be another cruiselines' ship in port on the same day!

Never, ever will I catch up. I really need to quit my job!

Read the info about the bus & finally have reservations for flight from Orlando to Philadelphia. I don't know how my fellow travelers into Philadelphia feel but we were really afraid to book with USAir. They are on the verge of bankruptcy plus their luggage handlers are always having "sick outs". We booked on United even though it said it was a USAir flight. We are keeping our fingers cross. The bus check is in the mail!

If there is anything I need to know, please PM me.

Hope you all have a great Thursday. I am really happy not to be at work today because I had a REALLY hectic day yesterday. Toodles JEANNE alias Disney Dudette Two

Jeanne:

I wouldn't worry about it -- I'm not. I booked our Orlando to Phila tickets back in October and was really happy with the price and flight time I got. First time I was actually able to get a Noon flight. Then all those rumors started and I thought we'd lose out, but it sounds like they are going to come out okay. So, we'll see -- but I know United is their back-up -- so we can always go over to them. We are, however, probably going to book with Southwest for our one-way leg from Phila to Las Vegas pre-cruise only because we can get that for half the price of U.S. Air. I haven't flown any other airline but U.S. Air in more than 20 years, so I'm a novice with other airlines.

What time does your flight leave Orlando?

JUST CURIOUS: Is there also a medallion design still being planned?

 

[DudetteTwo]

Talked to Disney Dudette #1 regarding her flight but she isn't booked yet. We are booked on a 12:20 PM direct flight (United) from MCO to PHL. We paid $87.70 each which I thought was reasonable. So now we have flight to LAX booked & paid & the flight from MCO home booked & paid. Now we need to pay off the cruise! Bonnie is going to send the check for the bus.

Hope you all are having a good day. I need to get moving...

I share your concerns about USAir. I flew them last weekend on a short flight to NC only because I knew we would only have carry-on luggage. Didn't want to chance a "sick-out" with our luggage held hostage on the plane. We are flying Delta with Skymiles for the cruise. Can't beat the price!

Hey what happened to the designs on Zazzle? I just went there and there's nothing. Help!

Yep its gone...
Wondering if they took it off because of "Survivor" similarities?
Kmiles????? They give you a reason why it was removed?

Cheers,
Grumbo

Maybe kmiles should try putting the design on Cafepress.com and see what happens over there. Anyone know of any other places we can try if it doesn't work out? If not, then maybe we can make our own shirts.
