O.K., I'm off to bed, it's been a very L-O-N-G day here!!! Just a quick update as I was crunching the numbers. I orders for 23 door signs as of this evening. I printed 25 signs off already, and just placed an order for 25 more blank magetic paper sheets, they should be in by the early past of next week.

So far, I have counted 70 people that are interested in t-shirts. Once the plans are finalized for the t-shirts, a post will be placed here on this thread!!!

Off to bed I go!!! Good Night All!!!

I'd like to contribute as well. I own a Picture Frame Shop and will try to design a themed mat and frame for our cruisemates. Their only cost will be shipping

Wow! Thanks so much Mark!

Another wow for the quick response to the t-shirts! This is a lively group!! I think we wiped out Andy with all the emails and PMs! Regarding designs, are we looking for a more "grown-up" design (check out the design Jeff made for the May 14 repositioning cruise):

or more Disney themed?

Look out DCL - this is a fun group and this is going to be one large (and long) party!!

Okay, I'm officially lost now ... tshirts? magnets? huh????

 

[Maleficent59]

Recap: Pete and Grumbo are coordinating the list (with Jason & Travis?). Susan, you're helping coordinate the pre-cruise DIS meet. Andy volunteered to make magnets. Andy and I asked if there was interest in a DIS group t-shirt - see post 3 pages back (so far, the t-shirt count is around 70 so I guess the answer is YES!). Mark is contributing a photo mat and frame. Did I get all this right?

So, that leaves: a pin?! and ??

Did someone say PIN???????????

Hubby has designed several fantasy pins (go to www.pinpics.com and search on "john schaefer" to find all but 3 of them).

I bet I can sweet talk him into designing something for the repo cruise ... anything specific you want included???

 

[DenverVal]

Susan, my hubby is a certifiable pin nut, I'm sure he will find you! PlutoJudy's DH commented on the 4/24 cruise that if he had even one more pin, he'd fall over!

For the t-shirt design, I love the idea of the flags, but how about it being combined with an image of the whole ship? Maybe someone has one with Mickey and Minnie waving from the bow?

Also, I couldn't figure out how to search the pin site using a name, did I miss something??

 

[Maleficent59]

Yey Susan & John!! (yes, I thought the pin would interest you!) I leave designing things to the experts.

That said, I am going to email my friend to ask her if she will design a logo for us. She does great work! So, if anyone has any ideas, send them over and I'll forward them! For example, I was thinking Mickey hands holding a ship (the Magic) in a bottle facing East. And then I wanted something with the Panama Canal? Anyway, I'm not good at this stuff so I'll be happy to hear ideas and send them on!

 

[ivanova]

you just put the name (or whatever search criteria you want) in the search box ... go to the bottom of this page http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/browse.cgi?type=a&cl1=on&cl4=on&cl3=on, in the box at the bottom type JOHN SCHAEFER and hit enter/submit and hopefully that'll take you to the pins he's designed (minus three).

Any room here for a "new-comer?" I used this web site in 2000 to book a WDW trip and now I'm going on the 14 night east bound repositioning cruise in August 2005. I have never been on a cruise before and I am so excited about this one!
Anyone from So. California?

 

[Otisp]

We're down the road in the OC-South.

And Grumbo, for the record we've got the early dining.

With out permission from the Walt Disney Company, you may not use any character or reasonable facsimile thereof on any item that will be used to sell. Andy's magnet may not even pass the test with the picture of the ship. But that would be a long shot. If you were to go to a screen printer ands ask for a shirt to be made with Mickey on it, they should ask for the permission from Disney for you to have it done. If you can find a printer that has copyright permission, that is a different story. I cruised on a ship once that the Beach Boys were on, they played a concert on the dock in Nassau, between the two Big Red Boats, the travel agency could not put a picture of either ship on the T shirts they had made up.

We are sailing with you guys. It will be me, Patty (44) when the ship sails and Misti (34). We have late seating at dinner and we dont know our cabin number. We know that it is at least a cat 11 gty status.

Welcome to the group!!!

Ok, I was a little bored this morning. So I would like to add to the statistics here. The best I can roughly figure out by the list is, the DISers, family & friends will have 105 of the staterooms. So we are like 1/8 of the ship!!
