August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS

[jiminyC_fan]

Good morning all. My gosh everyone is planning, planning, planning. Gotta love it. It is just so hard when I stop to realize that is isn't soon. Why can't it be THIS August? It is amazing to read how many from the DISboard. I think it will be fun to see everyone's face when they see all these matching t-shirts.

Hey Andy, nothing wrong with a WHITE t-shirt. It was good that the company could let you preview the green!

I know 1 more cabin that is with a DISer. She just hasn't checked in yet.

Someone yesterday was wondering if DU still handed out gifts for 8 or more people that booked with them per cruise. If they still do, they will go broke with all of us this time.

mostyn17...where are you in Central PA? Near Knobels...Country Cupboard (in Lewisburg)? We're not too far from you.

Tink - I can do that for the info that I have - I'll try to get that into the afternoon update. There will probably be some updating to do since I haven't saved all the PM's, and paging back through the thread is getting to be a tad time-consuming...

If you see the info for the staterooms is wrong - drop us a note.

The code will be one '?' for every GTY or unknown room; sound reasonable?

They did when I cruised last October. I'll let you know if they still are this October.

Kpgclark,

Oriental trading also has green bead necklaces for $7 for 4 dozen. That nice be a nice addition. What do you think?

These are a couple of bead supply dealers I have bought from in the past. In the past I attended 2 events in WDW (Parti Gras, AK & This is Love, MK), at both of these events I ordered beads and had them shipped to a friend in Florida, so I wouldn't have to lug them by myself. At "Parti Gras", I was the bead fairy and at "This is Love", I was the bead princess. I passed out beads to a lot of people (guests & cast) and made the night more magical. Some people actually thought I was a cast member on stage, I would just tell them I am not, just making more fun.

Pete,

Thanks very much, so it will be as follows, right?

? = 1 stateroom
?? = 2 staterooms
??? = 3 staterooms

and so on, and so on.

Janie gave me a SHRIMP lei from Lousianna on our last cruise, so I will be wearing it (A LOT). After all, I am still the reigning Shrimp Queen! (Although right now the thought of food (even shrimp)makes me ill!)

I also want to publically thank Sarah for getting us our stateroom (cat 5) at a ridiculously wonderful price. If it wasn't for her, well, let's just say that she is more than a good friend - she's the best kind of friend to have.

And although Buckaroo's Dad is still banned, I want everyone to know that he and his son will be our dining mates (verandahman and rae519) and I couldn't be more thrilled about it!

I am also very excited to read that several of my April 17 cruisers will be on this cruise - don't miss out on meeting them!!!

Yeah, that's what I'll try to do. I'll need a bit of help from everyone, since I have very little of this information available. Once we put up the update, check your stateroom listing and let us know of any changes.

??????????????????????????????????? means they have more money than sense

Also maybe some would be willing to help kick in on the cost with me.
Maybe some have something they would like to contribute to the bag.
Let me know how you feel about this or have any ideas.

How about something like this for a Mickey head magnet? I can make one for each stateroom door if anyone is interested. The one below can be printed out on 8 1/2 X 11 paper or we can make it smaller.

Very cute! Nice job! Are you thinking another door magnet or to place beside the door magnet?

I like it!

 

[ehtpnt]

Andy as soon as I talk to the other family going with us I will send out the check for the magnet(s).

two4ruff-- I love the Snoopy with the Zamboni. Can not wait to show DH. He is a big Snoopy/hockey fan and will love it.
Bmwdsny- I pm'd you. Can't get over the number of people from Pa. going this time. I think with you it makes 21 families. We might need someone to turn off the lights. LOL
Okay I absolutely must go put laundry in dryer and start ironing the Dh's shirts. Estelle

I was thinking another door magnet. You should have seen my stateroom last October and this one will be just as covered! It really makes finding your stateroom easy, and since it's personalized, kinda of hard to disappear.

This is just a suggestion.

[Tinkerbel129]

Renee,

Looks Great!! Can you do it so you get 2 per sheet? That would cut the cost down.

I love the door magnets that Andy has pffered to make for anyone that wants one and we will be getting one of those too. But, none of us here know each other by our last names or by some of our first names, they know us by our board name. At least if someone is walking down the hall, they can look and see what DISer might be near them. Or if someone is invited to somebodies room, they only have to look for the board name, if they forget the cabin number (you know a lot of us seem to being having senior moments now).

I was thinking of trying to make two fit on a page too. This was just a quick thing to make (I'm supposed to be working from home today) that I wanted to show you guys.

Some other suggestions for the goody bag:

Party horns
noisemakers (metal or plastic)
confetti poppers (don't know if these are allowed)

 

[Verandah Man]

For those that didn't see our door from last year's cruise, we had "NO PROBLEM" finding our cabin!!! This year and next year will be no different. I like the green Mickey head with DIS user name in it, good job!!!

Hey, look at my first countdown clock, at noon today I will be doing the "Double Digit Dance" for this year's cruise!!!

August 23-30, 2003

 

[winnyis]

- GREAT IDEA

I also love the idea of goodie bags.. this cruise is gonna be so much fun.... We really have a great fun loving bunch of DISers going.


Andy - I sent your $$ for the magnet today.

 

[Verandah Man]

I just had to order more door magnet sheets, I have orders for 52 door signs as of this morning, we are very near the 100 people mark for interest in the t-shirts as well!!! I can't wait for ours to come in so I can post a photo.
