Okay - Just to let you guys know, there are actually 2 t-shirts in the works. One for the new cruise and one for the Frances survivors. It looks like the cost per shirt is going to be around $7.50 ($10 for 2X & 3X sizes). I plan to get the design for the 2006 cruise shirts online sometime this weekend and will post it as soon as I'm able. I am still working on the design for the 'survivor' shirts. (I am using an actual satelite photo of hurricane Frances to create the pattern.) I hope to get this design finished over the weekend. Which means that I'll try to get it online next week sometime.

I have "called in the troops". My best friend since junior high is willing (and crazy enough) to help me in this endeavor. Besides, she already has most of the equipment we'll need. I only have to buy the screens and ink. (And we're gonna need LOTS of ink for this many shirts!)

Sorry Terry, but I'm not going to personalize the shirts for us. I'm having to create 11 seperate screens for the two designs as it is. (The 2006 shirt needs 6 and the survivor shirt needs 5. - Yes, I am using multiple colors of ink for each design.)

My biggest dilemma is how to get the shirts to everyone. I'm not sure whether I'm going to try shipping them out to you guys or hope that I have enough extra room in our luggage for 100 t-shirts! I guess that I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

You reminded me of the time when my wife (Missy) and I were at Guest Services the Wednesday of our cruise. We were leaving San Juan PR and heading for CC. Near the Guest Services desk was a satelite image of the caribbean and it showed another hurricane called Frances.

From looking at the image we really couldn't tell where it was in relation to ship (We have since spent a little time brushing up on our longitude and latitude coordinates).

Regardless we didn't think much of it at the time. Funny how things change.

Good luck with the shirts. Thanks for all the hard work.

BTW...I would have no problem paying for any shipping you wanted to charge considering the effort you are making.

I am in for 1 large (adult), 2 large (children) and a teeny weeny one for Sarah

as wanting one of the "newbie' shirts.....
it would be so much work for you to ship them out,
but where in the world would you pack 100 shirts (there will
be more, you know!) - i wouldn't mind if you charge a shipping fee and make some profit, Dori - you are using your time.
are they going to be lime green? - Lucy

 

[ElliotFan]

No, for the the 2006 shirts I was looking at light blue.

The pattern for the survivor shirts will be in black, white and greys, so I'll let everyone pick their own color. I will send out a list of available colors, when we get to that point.

Jeff - Don't forget to take 2 years of grown into consideration when deciding on the sizes needed for your girls!

I need for you to pm me an email address that Devin can use to contact Tyler. I PMed you with Devin's address.

DORI:

I'd be more than willing to pay shipping for three shirts for the "Survivors of Frances". What a wonderful idea -- and how brave of you to take this on!!!!

 

[kap158]

Dori -

I am more then willing to pay for the T-Shirts and shipping of both sets of T-Shirts for Doreen's Family and me. Just let me know how much and where to mail.

Karen

Dori - Thanks so much for your effort! I also agree about the cost and the shipping, plus a little something for your time. It would be impossible for you to bring 100 shirts - that would probably weigh almost as much as the 100 lbs of booze Seriously though - Thanks very much!



-Mary Rose

 

[ElliotFan]

Don't forget. I also have to have room for a few bottles of homemade blackberry wine too!

Hi Dori...When we were on the Western Inaugural, they had T shirts made. WDWGoose made them, I think they are sailing on the 10 day Christmas, I'm also pretty sure he mailed them to everyone.

Thanks for your efforts

Joanna

 

[winnyis]

Dori.. whatever you do.. DO NOT... I REPEAT DO NOT... take up precious luggage space that could be used for booze with t-shirts.... Definately not a good choice....Now if you want to put a smoothie maker in.. well than thats another story but definately not t-shirts...


Thanks for taking on this project for us.

Ginny

 

[sandygirl]

DORI - I will gladly pay for the t-shirts plus shipping. There is no way you should take up luggage space just for t-shirts. I can see you going through security now..."Well, Officer, no I am not smuggling contraband t-shirts, sir. They are for my DIS friends. We were in a hurricane and so we are celebrating. No, DIS does not stand for Drunkenly InSane, sir."

Hey Cindy, What the heck is puppet food? Would love to come but I don't think my budget can handle an overnighter in Atlantic City, though it would be fun. I can't justify the gambling right now. Have to stick to Lotto and pray for 6 numbers!

Hello Carol..

Remember our last dinner in animators pallatte?..Nick made the dinner roll with olive eyes remember?..

Bobby

 

[DARWIN91]

ROTFL - I remember now! He didn't remember either. He was mimicking me via the ventriloquist with the tennis ball. Ok, one up for Nick!

 

[gdulaney]

Hi everybody!!!

It's been crazy at work, so I haven't had alot of DIS-time. How unfair...they actually expect me to work!!!

I miss you guys and hope that maybe we'll sign-up for the Aug 2006 western with you guys. Is that the one that skips Key West and hits Costa Maya?

Gotta go play with the ferrets!
