Bringing The Magic Home - 8/20/05

[DenverVal]

JDSski, if you're in the 4th largest city in the US, then are you by chance from the great state of Texas? We have no Fools from Texas yet!

I have updated the maps with info from our newest friends. Blue has gotten old for me, so I spiced it up with some heat! Here are the latest:

And because the eastern seaboard and southern California are getting to be a mass of dots, I made these enlargements:

Enjoy! If you don't see your hometown on the map, pm me and let me know, I will be happy to include you! You can view the maps at a slightly better quality if you click here: http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=2129160575

For thoose who plan on bring their own snorkel gear - and belong to COSTCO - they have a coupon this week for the the US Divers Pro Pack - new cost is $ 32.00 (vs. $40), incls.dry snorkel, fins, mask & carry bag. If they don't have the coupons as you enter just ask at the register and they apply it (as least that is how ours works).

Darn - I went and bought it last week! It looks great - I've put the boys in snorkel lessons in July to try it out.

Lisa F, DenverVal and Marsha (or anyone! ) I don't trade pins but has anyone ever seen a pin of the three fairies from Sleeping Beauty? They are my favorite characters and no one at any of the Disney stores has ever seen such a pin.
I'm also looking for a cross stitch for them (Estelle - you mentioned sewing have you seen anything like that?) I've tried Internet searches but no luck.

Tracy - thanks sooo much for the newsletter

I have one of all three that DH bought from the official pin trading site www.officialdisneypintrading.com about a year ago; it's a pretty big pin. I thought they sold each of the fairies individually on the rack. My favorite pin is one of Jacques and Gus-Gus. I had a record and book growing up of Cinderella, and the signal to turn the page was Gus-Gus' giggle.

I'll be going to WDW in July, I'll look for the faries (I know they were rack and lanyard seris at one point) I'll also be hounding CM daughter to take me to DU to obtain some CM pins for trading. So I'll have stuff to trade on the cruise.

Hi

I was on the May Repo cruise and order your pins also.. Payment was made but I lost the person information to know how I will obtain the pins..

Could someone PM me and let me know.

Thanks for the link! What fun - I had no idea there were so many wonderful pins out there (oh oh! )

EyeRN - I found the individual Merryweather and Flora pin on the website - but if you happen to see all 3 at WDW could you let me know where? I think we'll go there for the day after the cruise and just have a look around - never been to WDW. You're so lucky you get to go in July!

Hi Liz,

The person in charge of this is Ivanova. You can PM her here. The last I heard she is about to place the order. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much. Yes (great memory) my dd is graduating preschool today too!

We loved the newsletter, thanks for all the kind things you do.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Graduating preschool. How sweet! Congrats.

I forgot to add HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE DADS.

 

[hbg4]

Just a quick word of thanks to all the welcomes to this great site.

Maryou- yes I will be travelling with my 8 y DD and mum on this repo cruise.

I've already booked all our shore excursions. Word of advise to anyone interested in a sold out tour.Keep calling DCL, it's very likely that an opening will arise since not everyone's plans are concrete as yet.

 

[eye R.N.]

Yes persistence pays when dealing with DCL. You never know when magic will happen. I was told the horseback riding was sold out for the time we wanted when all of a sudden two spots opened up. I told the CM to jump on them, before they got away.

 

[DisneyElf]

I would second the motion since a lot of people booked stuff and have cancelled tours since they found something better - privately -- ie. the Bounty .

WAHOO -- 60 days til we leave
