Adding to page 1 also. I've fallen down on this job, so there's a lot of change between the last pic posted and this one!

Our little Leila as Jessie this Halloween.

She's the best Jessie I've seen!

My favorite Halloween costumes are the Disney/Pixar ones. I think my daughter should be Lady DeVine next year....stilts and all.

For a month I've looked forward to the 200th day mark, and heralding it with a pic posted here. But alas, work got too busy... so a few days late.

But still,here is celebrating fewer than 200 days!!

By the way I spent a long time on photobucket shrinking this pic. It never got smaller... I put it on the smallest choice, but still is large. If anyone has a suggestion, please do. I will happily make it smaller. I have pics saved for 150th, 100th, and 50 days away!!

is it too late to join the FE?

A closing date hasn't been set yet. Send a message to JohnPA to be added to the list. Details for the FE are on the first page.

On that note, when are we closing the FE group? I've heard other threads close the FE up to three months before the trip, others as close as 3 weeks...

Also, did we finalise the bracelet order? What did we find out and who will be ordering and/or paying for them?

I was thinking that we should close FE about 5 -6 weeks prior. If anyone has a problem with that because they need more lead time, let me know.

I don't think the bracelets have been worked on at all.

Okay, since nobody has done the research yet, I did some work with Google and turned up these results:

Requirements:
- adult and child size (119 adults, 53 children at present)
- lime green colour (possibly glow-in-the-dark?)
- latex-free
- small order size (one per DIS member onboard = 172 at present)

Companies I found (via Google) and their details. I did not look at shipping or set-up fees. Most places seem to have free shipping for large orders and no set-up costs.

www.siliconeband.ca
*prices in Canadian Dollars, which are almost par right now*

• minimum order = 250
• debossed or printed = $1.15 each (for 250 bracelets)
• debossed with colour fill = $1.30 each (for 250 bracelets)
• sizes = 7, 7.5, and 8" circumference - $35 extra for orders with split sizes
• glow in the dark green = 5 cents extra per bracelet
• can add a second message on the inside of the bracelet for 5 cents extra per bracelet (i.e. Fantasy Becomes Reality on the outside, and Walt's quote on the inside.)
• hundreds of colours to choose from, different fonts, colours, etc.
• 100% silicone

www.wristbandswithamessage.com

• hundreds of colours to choose from, different fonts, colours, etc.
• adult size = 8", youth size = 7"; custom sizes cost more
• their company logo is embossed on the inside
• couldn't find allergy information

www.the-wristband-factory.com

*suspicious internet activity detected*
The error message speaks for itself.

I am confused about their pricing structure with the sale markings. ?? Looks inexpensive, but not really sure. ??

www.kulayful.com
*prices in American Dollars*

• 100% silicone
• debossed = $0.37 (for 100-199 bracelets)
• printed = $0.39 (for 100-199 bracelets)
• debossed fill = $0.70 (for 100-199 bracelets)
• embossed = $0.59 (for 100-199 bracelets)
• lots of colours, fonts, etc.
• embossed inside available
• couldn't find size information

www.reminderband.com
*prices in American Dollars*

• 100% silicone
• can order multiple sizes as long as they are in denominations of 5
• 25 characters per side of the bracelet (inside/outside)
• 24 stock colours including lime and neon green
• sizes: large = 8 3/8", medium = 7 3/8", child = 5 7/8"
• debossed = $0.30 each (for 100-199 bracelets)
• printed/silk screened = $1.10 each (for 100-199 bracelets)

www.siliconebracelets.com
*prices in American Dollars*

• hundreds of colours
• debossed or silk screened = $1.01 each (for 100-199 bracelets)
• debossed filled = $1.27 each (100-199 bracelets)
• silk screened micro bracelet = $1.36 each (100-199 bracelets)
• couldn't find sizing

I really like the micro bracelets... too bad they are more expensive.

Overall... if we want the quote, it could be too long for most places. Laser embossing/debossing may be possible, otherwise it would have to be printed. I don't know if places could use the custom Disney font? Someone will have to call and find out. Some American 1-800 numbers don't work here, so someone else will have to call to get all the details and make a decision on which company and style to use.

I read that debossing on neon and glow in the dark bracelets is hard to read and infill is recommended for those. Lime green looks nicer anyway... just my opinion... and doesn't need infill colouring to see.

There you go... I've set up the details... I hope someone else can take it from here!

A big thank you spacecanada!

On the total number, I wonder if it should be tweaked down 10-20%. Each time I have gotten 5 bracelets for the family, but I am the only one interested in wearing... so this time we will just request one. There may be some other Dis'ers who have the same family lack of .... enthusiasm.

Also, I am ready to send check when time to contribute towards the cost and then some.

Also, for those of you spending a day or two at WDW beforehand, the 180 day opening to make ADR (advanced dining ressies) is this week!
