"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Take 3!

That is a FABOO IDEA!! We should advertise the date, time and location and let people know that if htye have a Logo Tshirt (or other apparel) they shoudl wear it....and, of course, we can all wear our lanyards!

but are all our shirts the same color? I know we ordered ours in Navy (4 year old with a white tee shirt didn't seem like the BEST idea to me).

 

[rkandmjsmommy]

Denise....this is exactly what we need....I really do think you want the pitcure!!!!

OK, HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD TRY TO MAKE A DATE NOW OR WAIT UNTIL WE GET ONBOARD? How about Thursday? I know for us Monday we will be so in AWE of the ship it might be hard to get us anywhere I will GLADLY bring the letters and I *know* Crissichef will help me deliver them! We will need cabin numbers

DH and I have already talked about seeing you guys in there If there is a wine or beer tasting on board we are going to do everything we can to attend...so we'll probably see some of you guys during that. (ok..he does the beer tasting...we both do the wine).

YEAH! We plan to have on our Eagles stuff! We would also like to do beer/wine/margarita ANYTHING alcohol testing

I was wondering where you guys were, Charlie!! I also love that nearly everyone is wearing the same shirt. It makes it easier to see faces. If we do this, I'll wear my logo T-shirt!

I too LOVE the same shirt idea! I have to look at cafepress.com again

That is a FABOO IDEA!! We should advertise the date, time and location and let people know that if htye have a Logo Tshirt (or other apparel) they shoudl wear it....and, of course, we can all wear our lanyards!

Of course Lanyards

I also like Eriks idea of how to keep people informed! Are we able to call DCL and get the photo booked ahead of time?

We could just use your design and use a iron-on transfer to a plain white t-shirt...

You have to set this up with Shutters....Thursday sounds like a plan...should be done early AM so as not to conflict with any plans....again not everyone is going to show up but the thought is there...A letter sounds great...cabin numbers a must!!!
just grap the bull by the horn Denise!!!!!

Yeah we could suggest to people to do that if they don't have it on a white Tshirt already. Jason and I both have two logo shirts each already....both are white but we we each have one with a red collar and one with a black collar. So maybe we should suggest to everyone that they either get a cafepress shirt with the logo on a white background OR print it out on iron-transfer paper and put it on a white shirt before the pic.

I am certain that DCL and Shutters will NOT schedule this for us before the cruise...we're going to need to organize it once we're aboard.

So.....did everyone see the idea I put in one of my earlier posts about the message boards on each deck? Did that seem like something people would be interested in doing? If so then I'd be happy to organized it actually. It's no work at all other than laminating 12 or so sheets and bringing some dry erase markers (which I can pick up cheap here). All the work of it really happens BEFORE the cruise...and could happen right now. We just need to get one or two volunteers on each deck (and I'm pretty sure we have people on every deck) who are willing to publicize their cabin # for folks to go and look at their message boards periodically. That is something we could easily figure out now and then post it in Post #1 (previously Post #6)...and we'd just ahve to encourage everyone to look at the list and see what cabin on their deck is their "Official DIS message Center".

What do people think?

I would be happy to do this for my deck!!!!

just grap the bull by the horn Denise!!!!!

What letters is Denise talking about? letters to be delivered to every cabin? That sounds like a huge royal pain undertaking! LOL I think we should definitely consider a more centralized way of disseminating information (not to push my message boards idea...but something like that ) Also do we actually need a cabin list for the people IN the photo? Or can't we just draw from the "Treasure Map" list that is already being compiled?

I love the idea I would be willing to be a cabin on Deck 6, I have NO PROBLEM advertising my cabin number, just no "knock knock, run run" at 2am

So just so I understand, for instance our picture, someone would send out a group voicemail to all the "official Dis message center" people, if I am one of them, I would go to the lmainted paper outside my cabin and write a message for everyone to see? If thats it, I am IN

Can you tell I want to be a part of SOMETHING

Now I can see were you centralized list would come in handy....
We can you the Treasure Map list for the cabins too

 

[Gramto3]

I was going to make you all guess...I looks alot better if everyone is wearing the same shirts...We all had these shirts made ( I was the designer) and wore them at the port,sail-a-way party and this photo....Still have mine!!!

We still have ours also and wear them periodically.

I'm sure the dark color is what dulled the names....do you have a transfer set for dark fabrics? The chemical they use is a bit different in that one so that the colors tend to stay brighter (I've done this one myself is the only reason I'm asking).

Try painting over the names with fabric paint and a small brush...or add a metalic to them with paint either of those should help.

Yes, I did use the dark transfers. Great idea. I think I will outline the names with crystal glitter.

that's an easy fix!!.....

if the names are there, just dull....then use them as kind of a STENCIL.....go to a craft store and buy some fabric puffy paint in the bright colors you want and outline or fill them in or whatever. This will add dimension and color to them....you can even get glittery paint...OR sprink some glitter lightly on the wet fabric paint to add just a little of tink's pixie dust!!

Another great idea.....I'll outline the letters with crystal glitter and fill them in with bright colored fabric paint.


OH How I Love You All You are always there with great ideas and encouragement!

Now off to work on them again.

Yes that's exactly how it would work....OR if you had an announcement you could also just walk around the ship to each deck and put it on the boards yourself (I've found in the past this is a very good way to burn off some of my visits to Scoops ).

I am on deck 6, too, and would gladly have it at our room, as well (and actually since I have the lanyard list I happen to know that there are a cluster of DISers on both sides of me, across the hall and all around me and Jason!!)

 

[Magic3forme]

We can use our cabin on deck 8 for notices etc.

Erik: how many dry erase markers do you need? I have tons of these since dhs company is affliated with sharpie. he is always bringing those and sharpies home. ( I have lots of pillowcases if anyone needs some.)

 

[tig82174]

OK, folks, well then let's officially get this ball rolling and start our next important DIS project:

OFFICIAL "DDD" DECK-BY-DECK MESSAGE CENTERS!!!

(Note: "DDD"= DIS Double Dip )

Ideally, we need two cabins to volunteer on each deck. One cabin should be on starboard side of the ship (cabin numbers whose second digit is a 5 or 6) and one should be on port side (cabin numbers whose second digit is a 0 or 1). (Based solely on my lanyard list I can see that we do have cabins on every deck on every side of the ship...so this should be an easy order to fill!)

These cabins will each be given a small magnetic dry erase board for their door where important DIS announcements and messages can be put for other cruisers to check throughout the trip.

Please Note: if you would like to be the message center on your deck & side of the ship, your DIS screen-name and cabin number will be added to Post #1 on this thread and distributed to all DIS cruisers.

If you would like to volunteer, please PM me asap (first come basis for each section of the ship).


Note: We already have all of Deck 6 covered (port will be RKandMJsMommy and starboard will be me/Jason) and Deck 2 starboard (videoman)

 

[Fizzgig]

THANK YOU!!! I'm not sure I'm worthy to join such high ranking geeks but I will pitch in when the discussion comes down to my level (such as to thank the person who put Farscape on the best Sci Fi shows every list

Thanks! Our dog is named after a Farscape character.

The ending of that series was downright weird and nonsensical.

OK I have you down for Deck 8 on the starboard side in cabin 8576, right?

If you want to donate the markers and bring them to me at the port that woudl be fantabulous.....if we fill every slot then I'll need 11 markers to have one with each message board.

I LOVE sharpies, use them at work all the time

Erik,
As always thanks for getting the ball rolling, YOU ROCK! Since this is in full swing, we can get the photo info out this way, no need for letters! And now I can remember I am port side... I always foreget

 

[Magic3forme]

Erik:

8576 is correct. I will add the dry erase markers to cruise pile right now.

 

[scoutsmom99]

I am soo excited my fish extender is done. I had someone make it for us, and it is better than I could have imagined. Everyone in our family has their own theme too. Now I just have to find fabric paint to put our names on it.

We need pictures Mine is still a work in process.

 

[cyndifan]

Speaking of meets... anyone staying at the Country Inn and Suites pre cruise.... We will be there the 25th around 7pm. Friday Hitting the Kennedy Space center but maybe we can meet in the Breakfast area Fri Morning.. or even Thursday night.. is there a bar there? (I know you would think I would know this huh... off to find out now!) LOL

*** Or for that matter if your just staying in Port Canaveral/Cocoa Beach area.... maybe we can meet somewhere for Dinner on Friday?*** Just throwing out idears!

Hi, Drea!

We're planning on being there by Thursday. We're planning on driving down starting Wed. So if we get an early start & drive straight through, we may be there early AM on Thurs. We're also thinking about KSC on Friday. Tix are a bear though so we'll see. DH is wanting to do a restaurant over in Titusville Friday night if we do go to KSC - one that serves rock shrimp. I'll get more details from him & let you know about that. Otherwise, I think trying to meet up Thrus evening, Fri am, or Fri pm would be great!!

 

[Magic3forme]

We need pictures Mine is still a work in process.

I have no idea how to post pictues.

Send me a pm with your email address and I send you a picture of it.

lets see if this link works
