Disney Wonder Sept 3-7, 2006

Okay, I'm being lazy...to view the Cruisin' Goodies list click here

Tae Ja--I'd need 3 adult sizes, 1 child, with a total of 4. I'm perfectly happy to let you keep the tally, no problem.

My favorite t-shirt design involved the pirate, but I don't know if I should get a vote if I'm not sure I'll be able to do it.

I just assumed we'd go with the DIS/Lime green color for the bands. I hadn't been keeping track of numbers, thanks TaeJa for doing that! I am not sure of the turn around time for the shipping of the wrist bands. If you long onto the site, it shows the order date/ship date. I believe it was pretty quick but I could be mistaken. We're not ordering hundreds so it shouldn't be a problem.

An added plus to the wrist bands...they can be worn during our entire cruise. It will really help us to identify each other without doubt.

As for goody bags, I wasn't sure if we were doing actual BAGS or if we were just going to pass out our stuff to the kids during dinner on Pirate night (if of course everyone who wants to participate has linked dining.)

As always, I am up for what the majority want to do.

Lisa--the last discussion we had about the goodies had involved meeting in the terminal before the cruise and exchanging then. However, this is a tentative plan and really depends on whether everyone can make it before boarding. Kerry has actually said that she would be bringing the bags that we could put the goodies in.

I've done some poking around the reminderband website, and it appears that we can have two 25 character messages--one would be inscribed opposite the other. If I've got this right, we could easily do something like the three circles plus 9/3/06 Disney Wonder and the second message would be It's Time! It says that the second message is not extra.

The sizes are:
Large (8 3/8 inches), Medium (7 3/8 inches), and Child (5 7/8 inches)

I've been messing around, and I guess I just don't understand how exactly we would do the three circles? Would we submit it as artwork?

More messing around on the reminderband website, and I've discovered that you have to have quantities of 20 for *every* kind ordered. So, you can't order 10 medium size and 10 child size of the same bracelet--it has to be 20 of each.

Also messed around with phrases...and I've got this....

oOo 9/3/06 Disney Wonder

It's Time! DISboard Meet

Shipping on 40 bracelets seems to be $8.00, and if ordered today would get here May 12 with standard shipping.

Great work Dawn That shows you how much time I spent on THAT website . I actually read about the suggestion for the three circles from someone else here on the DIS. I can't remember who or where but it sounded like they submitted it as artwork...again, not sure on that.

As for the quantity of 20 for each type, I guess we should see exactly HOW interested everyone is in wearing these. I have no problem paying the extra so that we could get the sizes everyone needs but I understand if not everyone wants to do that.

Given the three sizes, I'd think going with the largest and child size would cover most of the size requests. I don't think the largest size would be too big for the average adult, and the child size would probably be fine for most little kids. What does everyone think? Anyone have their heart set on medium? Otherwise that would keep us at two sizes instead of having to order from all three.

Thanks again Dawn, for all the leg work on the wrist bands!

I'm here, everyone. Been reading but haven't had time to post (I've got 42 hours between the two jobs and it's finals week so I've been cramming when I can!)

I'm cool with the bracelets and Michael will be in such total amazement at stepping foot out of West Virginia that he'll wear whatever I shove at him.

Count us in

Poster.........Adult.......Child.....Total needed

LCTsMom...... 7 ............3 ........10
Purplern........ 2 ............1 .........3
Blackunicorn...3 ............1..........4
Ker-Bear
taeja71..........3.............3 ........ 6
Piecy.............2 ........................2

I think if we can stick to two sizes (adult lg and child size) that would definatly cut down on wasted bands. I'm all for that idea. Ya, my kids are small, but they can wear them as arm bands or leg bands if they want to. I think it would be great if we could get all of our phrases together. If the second message is not an extra cost, why not, let's go for it. LCTsMom and Blackunicorn you are awesome for doing such great research!

Ker-Bear, I was thinking about the kids' goodie bags and I hope the bags you get are expandable. They're going to get so much stuff put inside! Honestly all, I can't wait until 9/3/06.

May 3rd is getting closer too! Keep thinking about meets and t-shirts! And while you are at it, and if you have election primaries, don't forget to vote May 2nd as well.

Am I covering all the latest information? Am I missing any thing?

OH yes, happy posting anniversary to PURPLERN ! I am so glad you started this great thread! Where would we be w/o you!

I'm sorry, I'm slow. Is this Tim? If it is, time sure does fly since the last photos of your brood. They look great! What a perfect day for such a nice event! Amanda looks like an angelic princess! If that is Tim, how proud big brother looks. What a great memory!

Wow, I just bought Michael's flight and I was so excited and didn't know who to talk to.. and of course, I can come to the DIS!!

It just clicked how close we are. We also got an AWESOME deal! I've been watching flights for a long time, but this is by far the best I have EVER seen..

I looked into flying him to either Jacksonville (Half hour drive from where I'm going to be living) and Orlando.
Found an awesome deal for him to fly Columbus, OH (about a two hour drive from where we live..) to Jacksonville on September 2. We decided, since I'll have a car down there and a FL Resident Season Pass.. that we'd just go to Disney World after the cruise *He's never been!* and drive back to my place that night and him fly home the next morning. Well, I looked at the prices.. and it was amazing! Only $169.20.. but all the flights were really early. So I thought about spending the night at Disney and him flying home the 9th.. and the flights went down to only 159.20!!!!

So Michael is flying for the cruise for only $159.20!!

I thought that was pretty amazing. I'm still in shock, even though I bought the flight and am staring at the confirmation!!

Is it too late to link dining? Sounds like the kids would have fun. I KNOW DH would say no if I asked, he's a little on the antisocial side with people he doesn't know. But he doesn't participate in planning so I guess I can make the call......... but if its too late, thats fine too. Between tshirts and wristbands, should be easy to find you guys! And we'll try to show up for any meets we can make. Not so sure we'd be at the terminal in time for one beforehand, coming from Vero beach and might decide that pool and slide is just as fun as an early shot at the Mickey slide so may not rush to board, not sure.

Nope, it's not to late. I can't link dining until everyone is paid in full so that will be the end of June, first of July I think. I have to get my payment in by the end of this month so I can reserve my stuff 6/5. My son is a castaway club member. Hahahahaha I get to take advantage!

If you want to link dining, please PM or e-mail me the following info: Your name, stateroom number, number in your party, and whether you want your own table in our area or wish to sit with other DISer's

When it gets closer to sending the info, I may need everyone's confirmation numbers but I will let you know if I do.

 

[ReallyFunMom]

OK, linking dining, now..... goodie bags. Sounds cute but a lot of stuff has already been specified, not sure the rugrats could carry around much more or I could find an original idea. Anyone want to shave a couple of grey things off their list for me to get instead? Or have a good idea what I could contribute? Prefer non-food items. Thanks!

Yep That's Tim! He was in the misted of bribing her. She wanted to eat at Olive Garden and he wanted to eat at Bravo's. She took the bribe!
