Hope you guys had a great day today. Hang in there with the crazy weather that seems to be goin around lately.

Dawn, good luck gettin a copy of your marriage license, don't you just LOVE governmental red tape, very frustrating.

I was just going to get the pencils and pencil tops because no one else was. If you need something you can get them. I was going to get the pinwheels and yo yo's.

okay sounds good to me! Did you have specific ones in mind? Or should I just check out the ones at Oriental Trading... pirates I am assuming?

Well that makes it quite easy, thanks a lot!

 

[mom_of_2_princesses]

I saw some cute ones at deadmentellnotales. Whatever you see. I am sure there are tons out there.

Hey, guys, check out these silicone bracelets . I don't think you can do the artwork (so no mickey-shape) but they're comparable to the reminderbands, and there's no minimum order. We'd get free shipping with an order over $50 (which we have, easily).

Pros: No minimum order, free shipping over $50
Cons: Looks like fewer characters allowed on the bracelet, 30cent charge for printing on opposite side, per-bracelet cost is higher unless you order 50 or more of a single item
Neutral: Only two sizes--adult and youth, only one color of green available though it looks lime to me

Let me know what you think!

Hi Dawn, those bracelets look fine to me - whatever is easiest and quickest. About the marriage license thing, I haven't read or been told one thing about needing one. I'll ask some of my agency pals to be sure.

I love reading this thread, y'all (my southern drawl comes out every now and then) entertain me so much! Thanks for the congrats on my "wonder"ful day.

lunamum - I saw some pirate bubbles and thought about getting them as well. I did wonder if it would make the decks slippery though. I didn't read the other thread on bubbles, but I'm pretty sure I've read about others bringing them? I'm going to stick with candy to be safe. I also saw some fake pewter pirate rings that I'll probably get.

Another thought for the goody bags is more glowing in the dark jewelry. I don't think kids can get enough of that stuff, so maybe more than one or two people could bring some (I'll be looking for some too).

Hava a great day everyone!

Go with which ever is easiest. If we can get It's Time! printed on it, that would be great.

Plus that looks like a bright enough green to me. I like the color because I think it would be easily recognized by our group.

Break jobs, bubbles, and wristbands, oh my. Break jobs, bubbles, and wristbands, oh my. Break jobs, bubbles, and wristbands, oh my.

I'm just being a

I looked at the wristband site and you can get 24 characters on the front and back side of the wristband. I typed in, It's Time! Disney Wonder and it fit.Keep in mind it will cost 30 cents extra to put text on the back. So, do we want text on the back? I think for cost and how many we need this would be a great way to go. No minimums and like Dawn said free Shipping! I know this is would be a last minute change, but I think its worth investigating.

Here's the specs on the wristbands:
Material: 100% Firm Silicone (LIVESTRONG quality)
Size: 13mm x 2mm
Debossing Depth: .5mm-1mm
Mold Type:
Debossed Messages (small quantities laser cut).
Embossing available by special request.
Colors: 999 PMS colors for orders over 500
Available Circumferences:
(Youth) 190mm / appx. 7 inches
(Adult) 202mm / appx. 8 inches


Since we definatey qualify for the free shipping, I didn't find which method of shipping they will use. The company is based out of Texas so that's not far from Dawn. Here's a good question from the site, When will I receive my order? Answer, Our lead time is 7-10 business days. This means it will take at most 7-10 business days to make your wristbands. They will then be shipped. That's pretty quick, I think.

I'll ask if they can make the Mickey shape? It says free artwork and the ears are simple enough. I don't mind asking, I just e-mailed the question about free shipping. I'll keep you all informed of my replies.

Lisa, I love keycodes! Thanks, you never know when you need it.


Just saw Kerry's post, and I agree the lime green band will be easy enough to spot. Just had a thought, if some one not in our group is wearing a lime green bracelet...I feel sorry for them. I'm going to approach them like I know them and start chattering...then b/c they'll have no idea who this is.....

I think I'm caught up on this thread...we'll until Noon any way.

This is what I've got so far:

11:30am in the terminal in front of the TV's

On deck 10 at the sailaway party

The morning the Wonder is in Nassau***TaeJa is in charge of this one

At 80's night in Wavebands Time TBD

where on deck 10? I don't know where a safe (where we can hear and not be squished) place to meet would be at.

I'm thinking a 11:00am meet on Nassau day. Does that interfer with breakfast, brunch, or lunch? The bridge tours I believe are after lunch time. I saw 1:30 2pm and even 2:30 for bridge tour times. These aren't exact tour times these were, "I think they were at.... I can't remember exactly but...." guestimations by other posters. I won't find out exact times until I get to guest services. I just checked and there's no mention of bridge tours on the latest navigator. I'll be by or in the pool for a while. I'll be hanging out with my friends. So, I'll see you when I see you.

((funny thought, I just had to check that I'm posting on the right thread ))

Oh, good question. I know deck 9 is where they perform and I though that would be too crowed. I have read other DISer's trip reports and they all seem to meet on deck 10. How about we post a discussion question and see what we find out?

go for it mighty DIS meet leader!

10:59 Wow, your fast!

I am not participating in this part,so I am hesitant to comment, but as an FYI, I ordered and received similar bracelets from the company below and they shipped very quickly. I had my my kids name, our hotel and cabin # and my wife and I cell phone numbers imprinted on them. In the unlikely event we are seperated in the Park or Ship, the kids will have these on all week. I have not been paying attention to the details,so I am not sure if this is a better deal than you have, but I was very satisfied with the product and company.. I won't be offended if you ignore this suggestion.

I posted it. Watch it for me as well. If you have more questions to add, please do.


49 days until I leave for Florida!

I have to get shopping

 

[NJBILL]

We have been having a great deal of trouble with the mail on our street getting delivered to the right place. Has anyone received their cruise doc's yet? Please post when you,so I can keep an eye out.
Thanks.

Thanks.

with the new on-line check in system, I think they send the cruise docs even closer to the sail date. My understanding is 2-3 weeks prior to sailing.

 

[zweihund]

But if it was September wouldn't it be September 12?
so then the cruise would be over
and we would be home and back to our working lives.

You mean I have to go back to work when it's over?
True, though. Plus, if it were September already then I would be rushing to pack and get to the terminal late and forget half of my stuff I've spent all year collecting!

I got my Disney stuff today. I forgot with them how everything is huge my DD's(4) bathing suit is too big. Mine is too big. The t-shirts are big and pre-shrunk. I am returning the bathing suits tomorrow for smaller ones. If anyone is going to order beware and order one size down. The dress was good and it is 100% cotton. The dress was not pre-shrunk. We also got the flip-flops for by the pool and stuff. They are comfortable and only $3.99. Not as comfortable as my reef's but you can't beat the price.

Here's the post I've been looking for. I got my disney stuff yesterday too. Now, I guess I'll have to try every thing on instead of banking on every thing fitting. Grrr, one more thing to do.... Thanks for the heads up Momof2!

I'm watching Lilo and Stitch to get into an island/water mood.

My TA said that there's an outside printing house that prints the cruise docs. She said don't be surprised if you (I) don't receieve a booklet. All the more reason to get to the terminal sooner just in case I need to fill out the paperwork.

Since I'm watching Lilo....Lisa, how's dd's hula lessons going???

ETA: 2:58PM- I opened our disneyshopping box and inspected the items. The kids are running around the house saying their clothes fit just fine. My son's shirt will fit him into next Summer, its so big. I looked at my dh's shirt and its wayyy to big. My dress fits perfectly...although its tea-length. I wasn't sure if I'd like the print; it looks much better in person.

 

[mom_of_2_princesses]

Is it to late to participate in the bracelets?
