Which font are we using on the bracelet?

I like Andy or Comic. Anyone else?

Jan, Kingdom Hearts is a video game. It's kind of a combination of Disney characters and Final Fantasy (another video game). My son just got it, but I haven't been allowed to play it yet. Kingdom Hearts II features a Pirates of the Caribbean section.

thanks--our sons are 25 and 29 and live three states over. If they were here I bet they would have known, but as resources they answer e-mails S-L-O-L-Y so it is fastest to ask you guys.

Yes. It is called Junkanoo Beach. It's nothing fancy but it's pretty clean and safe. We have went there everytime we go to Nassau,without any problems.
It is located right next to the British Colonial Hilton. This year we are going walk down the road a little farther than we normally do for a little change. Yoou can see the ships from the beach.

Here is a picture (link below. I do not know how to add pics to my post). The building with the Orange Roof is the Colonial Hilton.
If you look at the picture you will see something that looks like a retaining wall
sticking out into the water. This is where we usually go. We are going to walk down a bit. You can see the ships in the background. It is about a 15 minute walk.

Thanks Bill I never knew you could do that. We had a great time staying on the ship last time but it's always good to have options. The girls all want to see the straw market this time so I may have to get off the ship anyways.


Thanks again

Here's instructions I've been posting:
Posting: First find a photo hosting site. I like free so mine is photobucket.com. You can use Yahoo and even the DIS. From photobucket you have to register. Then, when you are ready to upload picture(s) click the browse button. It will pull up your computer directory. find the photo you want to upload and press the "submit" button. Your picture should appear on the bottom of the screen. What you'll want to do next is highlight the http:nsfndn.fldkfj[img] and copy that line. The n, go back to your post your working on and paste. You should only see the [img]asfd[img]. Once you submit your post, the picture should be visable.

[B]Resizing your picture:[/B] If the image is TOO big, go back into your photohosting site and look for edit. If you edit in Photobucket, it will modify the picture size in your hard drive as well. So, if you don't want the original picture shrunk consider creating a duplicate pic in your hard drive and name it some thing different for your photohosting site. Give the DIS and your photohosting servers time to modifiy your images. If you modify too much you may end up with a speck of a dot for a photo. Trust me, I've done this too many times to myself. Be patient.

Comic works for me. There aren't a ton of choices so let's go with Comic. I am going to order mine today....are we certain there are no other changes?!?

I am ordering mine today as well. I am feeling the pressure to start checking things off my list. I got the pirate bag Goodies, I just ordered my t-shirts and I am ordering the bracelets. Can you hear the check, check, check noise coming from my office?

ETA: Bracelets purchased ! http://www.shanrene.com/custom-wristbands.php

I've got to get the click click click going of my computer going. I've got to order some trasfer sheets for my shirts, order the bracelets, other possible cruise wear (I know I won't be able to pack it all), and there's more I'm sure. There's always more.

I am going to end up going with Arial instead of Comic because I'd like to make the phrase on the bracelet in all capital letters. I'll probably order an extra bracelet in each size....just in case someone loses or breaks theirs.

I am bringing a photo mat and pillow cases on board so that I can have them autographed as souvenirs. There's a seller on eBay who will embroider a Disney character and child's name on the end of the pillow case (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1152828&page=2&pp=15) . Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was interested in doing this. (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfrtsZ50QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsassZantoniaQ5fh)
