Early roll call for March 20-23rd 08 Wonder cruise

[mom x4 grandma x4]

They will probably think we are a couple of nut cases

That's ok with me, I gotta be myself, sneaky and fun loving

I never behave myself, theres no fun in that

 

[brady961]

oh yeah right, let's see who will think is nuts?????

the one that carries around a dressed up Pal Mickey and/or Minnie or both?

the one that decorates her power chair disney stuff?

ummmm



now really who do you think they will know is nuts not just think they are????

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Well I could climb on the back of your chair and we could see how fast we could zip down the halls at 2 a.m.
Sometimes I wear a tiara around and get some funny looks considering I have shorts on.
Usually I have all disney clothes on that I make but last time the ink ran when I washed the shirts and ruined them. It always worked before but last time it was aweful.

I am going to look for ink that wont run and fade so I can make more shirts to wear. I dress just like the kids do. Even Mickey socks.

way cool. I can just see us, you standing on back of chair, and us racing down towards the atruim LOL.

I think that neats you wear a tiara and disney clothes. I don't really have disney clothes except ones I put an iron on a tshirt. i do have Mickey windbreaker.

So you dress Disney, my chair decorated Disney, Pal and Minnie dressed up, you in a tiara, and who knows I may just have to wear one too

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

We would be quite a site

Right now King Louie is wearing my tiara as he is hanging from my chandelier in my dining room.
I will have to ask him if I can have it back for the cruise, I hope he won't mind

 

[brady961]

Umm better be nice when asking the King LOL

I just remindered that I have two disney scrub tops. One is of chip/dale, other mickey/minnie. I think these would be great for running around during the day. So comfortable, loose and shouldn't be as hot. So just put them with my June cruise group of clothing. Have a second set I put with the Sept group of clothing. Hopefully by Mar 08 they will be in good shape to wear then too.

Or may just have to see if Walmart has anymore, buy them and start a Mar 08 group of clothing in closet LOL.

They also have winnie pooh, bambi ones but I stuck with chip/dale/mickey/minnie. ummm i think a trip to walmart is called for LOL.

later

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Marsha,
I love Chip and Dale.
I am surprized that WDW doesn't have more clothing with them on it. Mostly just in kids stuff.
I had a shirt I made with iron on transfers with Chip and Dale but the ink bled in it too.
I really need to see if I can find other special ink, maybe at staples or some store like them. I love taking a white short and making it a disney shirt. i get so many compliments and people wanting to know where they can get one.
I had one with Goofy in a tux and Donald surfing. They were great.

Well I am ready to run some errands and walk the dog, I will be back on line later this afternoon.

Have fun preparing for your cruise in June. we are crusiing the end of june for 7 days on Carnival with the older grandkids, our daughter and her husband.

 

[brady961]

I did one iron on sorta lime green but more apple green with a small DIS logo over right shoulder/breat.

I just did another iron on with large Mickey Icon with DIS lettering, my user name and real name on a lime green tshirt.

Also just did iron on with the June cruise name/design/logo on lime green tshirt.

I have a red and navy tshirt that I haven't decided what i want on them. I want something generic so can wear to the parks and on cruises. So thinking just simple Walt Disney World with then a graphic.

I only do simple graphic/designs, nothing even remotely close to what the ppl do on the creative design thread for like door signs. I insest a picture, type some wording and boom I have what I need. I am no way talented or have th software to do what beautiful designs the do over on that thread. Although I love what they do.

I normally am not one that likes wearing tshirts. I prefer polo tops. On the Jan cruise I ironed on a polo top a small cruise logo/design over left shoulder/breast.

I have lots of polo tops that I may end up doing something similiar for the parks and/or cruise.

I do plan on wearing the tshirt with cruise design and DIS to board in June. Also have design for Sept but haven't ironed that one on yet.

Will probably make one for Mar 08 too.

Also got little lime green shirts for Pal Mickey and Minnie. Well two for each. One has a simple mickey icon with DIS lettering for the parks. One has a generic cruise (DCL logo, picture of Mickey/Goofy on ship (cartoon style), and the mickey icon with DIS lettering under that. That way I won't need to make a specific cruise shirt for them for each cruise. they can wear the generic DCL lime green shirt, and I can make mine more cruise specific.

Now to figure out what to put on the red and navy tshirts that is generic enough for parks and cruise. <G>

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Marsha,
boy you do alot more than me.
My door signs are super simple too. I ususally just put stickers that are tropical and disney themed and sometimes a few words like,
Magical memories
We be Cruising with Pirates
Just what ever comes to mind.

Have you ever done any scrapbooking??
I always do a photo album and add a few other papers and confetti I grab at events and write a trip report to go with it.
So I am thinking about trying to do an actual scrap book this time. I have seen a few examples on line and they look so nice!!
I think I can do it with a little research. But I would love some advice from someone who has done it.
I have 2 scrapbooking stores near by and wal mart sells some supplies, plus I have found several sites on line with pretty good prices.

Boy the clouds are moving in pretty fast today, although it is still warm out.
I have to check my mail and bring in the garbage can.
will check back later,
Kathy

 

[brady961]

LOL I think I responded to this thru email as thought it was sent via email and not on here LOL.

but as I said my door signs, name badges, tshirt iron ons etc.. are very simple. It's fun even though they are basic simple using word document and drawing features. I don't have any special software but what i use works for me.

Nope never done scrapbooking. Have heard about a lot of ppl that do and see the stuff to do it at Michael's.

Let me know what you learn and find out. I have NO creative talent so for me would have to be SIMPLE, and ideas with instructions LOL.

today its very warm here. we had some clouds early but they went away quickly. temp around my place got around 80 or so.

This pollen though is kicking me in the ...... I am taking meds daily and still having effects from the pollen grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I am heading to Tampa on Friday to check out the new minivan I plan to purchase (conversion minivan). Already have loan approved but of course I want to see and check it out before any signatures on a dotted line. Still will take about another week or two though before I actually finalize and receive as they have to install transfer seat and a lock down system for the power chair. WOO HOO. Seems like forever trying to get this van and power chair but should have both within a couple weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So June cruise I will get to use my new power chair that actually will roll over the thresholds. So no getting stuck out on deck 4 this time LOL.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

That's great Marsha.

I hope the new chair works great for you!! There will be NO slowing you down now. Look out DCL and WDW

I think you need a sign to put on the back of the chair.
Something like,

Look out Red Hot Marsha coming through.
or

Outta my way I'm a Cruiser on the edge!!
or

Ahoy Mateys,
Pal Micky coming through, full speed ahead
Then have Mickey in black leather with goggles and a helmet on.

I could have some fun with that. I can make some signs and put on the back without you knowing it That could cause some real excitement

Cruiser on the edge would actually be fitting

 

[brady961]

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Good Morning Marsha,

I love the Van, Dodge makes a good product. I'm sure it will work great for you. Now you will need a car seat for Mickey and Minnie so they can join you . They will want to ride up front with you, not sit on the scooter where they usually ride.

Lots of nice sunshine today.

 

[brady961]

I have this car seat cover that I use on my travel power and/or scooter. So will get anothe one/s for the van as it matches the other accessories. Mickey and Gang accessories. Umm since they not weigh enough for their safety in front seat (air bags) they will probably have to ride in the back seat in safety belts <G>

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Marsha,
I love that seat cover. I wanted to buy it myself but my car isnt a bucket seat. I have an 05 Impala with a bench seat. The seat is like 2/3 driver and 1/3 passenger on the seats.
My husband recently got a Hyundai Sonata and the first thing out of his mouth was, you know I could get the disney seat covers, floor mats and steering wheel cover for my car
Thats what he thinks!! I said NO way!! Since I cant have the seat cover , neither can you
He didnt buy it, guess he knew he was in dangerous territory messing with me on that subject!!

My sterring wheel cover had Mickey, Goofy and Donald on it. I am going to get the floor mats soon, just been so busy trying to get situated in this house. Only been here about a year and I am trying to decorate each room some. So much work!! Fun, but lots of work.

What a great day out today!! Warm but not too hot.
I got to remember to watch the Wonder pull out on the Web Cam tonight.

 

[brady961]

I bought all my accessories at a different site than link i gave you. i look at both sites to see which has what and price. so if want another site to review let me know.

it's very warm here today at least for me. I woke up around 4a and of course couldn't go back to sleep. So thought ok since its not warm yet get up go get things done etc...

So I was at Walmart by 6a, then Staples, then Kmart. Then back home. Then to have car washed and detailed so can get quote tomorrow on it from CarMax. Then to get my mail. My speedo aqua fitness belt arrived. I really believe I will be able to snorkel at CC this time using this belt. If go in snorkel area of course get like yellow thingie they have out, but I would still use this belt. If go to adult beach then of course will need belt. So am excited to at least try to get down to water, out far enough to do some snorkeling in June. Will see at least I can try.

I am so tired now I want to take a nap <G>.

Oh bought some things for Pal and Minnie. I need to get their things better organized. each has their own pilot size suitcase that holds their clothes, accessories etc....

But I have so many plans coming up trying to get prepared, organized etc... my brains is going ever direction.

Have a kids suitcase with Mickey on it I use to carry their things when staying on WDW property, or traveling (not for the cruises though).

Then have clear plastic backpacks to keep their clothes organized in their suitcases. Well let's just say its not that way right now LOL. I keep just throwing things in both.

Today found a clear plastic backpack (had some toys in it that i can give to one of our group homes) that I can carry outfit changes with me at the parks. ya know sometimes they demand changing their outfits during the day at the parks esp if park hopping LOL. but with this clear bag it will hold a couple outfits for both in one bag. WOO HOO.

So need to get the mickey suitcase packed for trip down to POP May 18-20. Include this new clear backpack to carry at the parks.

Then start figuring out for the June cruise, then Sept cruise etc...

I really am usually so organized and really want to just go ahead and pack for May WDW weekend, June cruise and Sept cruise. But of course some outfits will be needed at each event. And then where do I put their things for each event now? LOL.

at least May is only three days and nights of outfits needed. June is 3 nights and sorta 4 days although day we board that is automatic what they wear, generic DCL lime green tshirts.

Ok why am I rambling here on the May 08 cruise thread? Geesh who knows.

All I know is that I am very tired and feel so unorganized for the upcoming events. Unorganized in getting the van, power chair, cooling vest, home modificationis etc... as I have no control over any of this. I have to wait for VR to do their thing, and then let me know what I need to do. WOW this process is stressful and feels so out of control, not knowing how, when etc... and only being able to wait. Did i mention I have no patience? When I want something or need something I want/need it NOW!!!!!!

ok I return this thread back to it's original topic <G>
