February 18, 2006 Magic - Who's Onboard? Roll Call post #156

[Lazeric]

Dave;

Mass was close..we are in CT. Don't hold that against us though.,,,hehehe

We are flying down late Thur evening, more like early Fri morning, staying at French QUarter (Port Orleans), spending the day at Magic Kingdom Friday, and then off to the cruise sat morning. TA said that the transfers willl take us from there to ship. I worry about things like that, but I am sure she is correct.

Playing the waiting game now...

Hi all! I've been lurking for a bit-not posting. Its been a rough month or two here. All is well-everyone is fine. Except me, of course. My shoulders are so tense, they could be used as a carving board!

I CAN'T WAIT FOR 2/17!!!!


I'm gonna whine for a bit. I didn't lose any of the weight I wanted to. On the upside, I saved a fortune on clothes. I didn't need ot buy anything new!! LOL

My dh has some health issues and it gets hard for us, the family, dealing with the fallout.

My DD has gone through a hard time dealing with everything.

Our first Christmas without my MIL was a disaster. Honestly, I tried too hard. You know what I mean? I should have let the holidays take their course.

Ok enough whining!! Lets go!

How are we gonna know each other at port?? Let's see if we can work that out!

Ursula (the whiner)

Someone had mentioned shirts but I think its a bit to late for that ... on the other hand you can always get the Iron on Transfer stuff from staples and we can try to come up with a graphic/logo that people could print out and make their own t-shirts ...

or the green mickeys from home depot always work as a name tag real or board name so when we are all walking around deck 9 looking for our table we can find similar people who only know their family members ...

any other ideas??

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Dreamer, glad things are looking up for you and nice to see you posting again!

I had an idea about cutting out a large green Mickey head, writing something to the effect of February 18, 2006 DIS-ney Magic - A Long Time Coming! (LOL) and taping it to the wall at our meeting spot so everyone could find it. Thoughts? DD8 likes art projects so I figured she might like to make it.

Dave (or anyone else), if you go to Home Depot would you be able to pick up some extra little green Mickey heads so that if people want, they can write their screen name on it so people know who's who? I'll try to get there, too, and I'll bring some fabric tape.

I must say I can't wait to leave this freezing New England weather behind! Looks like we'll be having a Nor-easter on Tuesday, too.

Eric, don't worry about the DCL bus - it comes to POFQ as people who do the Land/Sea stay there. When you check in just make sure they know you'll be getting on the bus and be there before the time they say the bus arrives.

We are going down on Wed night, have booked 3 way transfers so hopefully that goes smoothly. Have never been without a car before so this is a first.

Did everyone get their documents? Be sure to fill them all out before you get to port, it saves time at check in. There was a letter in with the docs that explains they've staggered the dinner times a bit, so that early seating could be 5:30pm, 5:45pm or 6pm, etc (same with late). Supposedly will cut down on crowds in the areas for pictures and such. That should be interesting. I hope we don't get 5:30 - even 6 is a little too early for us, hate leaving the fun to go get ready for dinner. My dream would be to do a cruise someday which does not require getting dressed up for dinner!! Anyone else?

OK, so who's doing tuxes? Who's dressing up for Pirate Night? Anyone bringing costumes for the kids for the character breakfast, Tea With Wendy or Princess greetings? My DD8 will be. DS8 will be too, but I don't know if he'll actually wear it.

NJDisneynut - have you given any thought to when you might like to host your meet in the WD Suite?

 

[burma]

Ill be in a tux ... we dont get to dress up much since moving to RI from NYC so Id like to get some use out of my tux ....

I was tinkering with pictures for door signs and came up with this for a shirt if you want to try the Iorn on transfer stuff ... I will email you the file if anyone wants or likes it ..... click link below

Disboard Crew Shirt


If not ill chage it around a bit and use it as a door magnet ...

 

[Dreamer04]

Thanks for the welcome back! We're doing the DOC DANCE!!!

Arrived a few hours ago! Very psyched!!

No tuxes here. Just nice suits, and dresses. I tried to talk the family into going truly formal, but they balked! So, I am fine with with it. We will look nice and our pictures always come out super.

I am going to buy some dis shirts from the DIS store. I hope they have "Pooh" sizes!

Linda, I love the idea of Andrea making an art piece for our DIS meet. I'll also head to the Home Depot for some lime green Mickey's.

After several days of mumbling incoherently at the evil geniuses who created photoshop, I have actually produced things that I would not be too embarassed to show others, so here goes...

Now, I am afraid that I am addicted. I'm glad that the cruise is coming up. I will have to stop eventually.

Pea-n-me, I would be happy to help with name tags, too, if you need.

Burma, love your t-shirt design. Transfer paper works for us. Were you thinking white t-shirts or DIS green?

 

[burma]

I was not thinking ... I try not to when it comes to this stuff it just makes it more difficult ....

If you would like the files I can email it to you ..... just PM me

 

[Dreamer04]

That t-shirt design is cool!

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Wow, you guys - very impressive, I like them all!!

 

[Haley'smom]

Okay, we stopped at home depot and snagged 8 of the dk. lime green mickeys (sonic boom) and 10 lt. lime green (alien green). There were considerably less lime green ones than any of the other colors...I am obviously not the only one....


Also, if anyone wants a copy of one of the door signs or would like me to personalize one for you, just PM me.

Maminnie, how many in your party should I add to the roll call list?

 

[burma]

Haley's mom I still cant figure out how to wrap the text like you did in the LILO pic.... sent you the t-shirt file ... stole your lime green mickey so I did not have to scan one ... hehe was at wal-mart today they had t-shirt transfer paper with all the Avery products ....

 

[Haley'smom]

Dave,

Thanks for the t shirt design. It looks great. We got transfer paper and magnetic paper yesterday.

I just used the text tool on photoshop (arc) to bend the text. Check out the DIS design forum. That's where I got the Lilo and the lime green mickey. There are lots of good ideas to lift. I can email you the blank template if you need, so that the resolution is better.

 

[Haley'smom]

I found this on the door sign thread and modified it for our cruise. It is designed to go around the porhole/door numbers. We can personalize it further (with family names) if needed or if anyone can come up with a good group name.

Let me know if anyone is interested or if I have just gone over the edge with photoshop and need an intervention.

Thanks for all of the choices. I am very impressed and love them all.

 

[maminnie]

Hi Haley'smom:

We're a family of four and are travelling with three other families who do not review the boards.

We're looking so forward to our much awaited cruise!

Thanks and regards,

maminnie

 

[cadburysmom]

Welcome maminnie and friends!

Hope everyone is having a good week. Btw, those t-shirt and door magnet designs look great! I've just started packing for the cruise and am getting VERY excited. Picked up suntan lotion, extra camera batteries and some extra sandals today...but still waiting for those elusive DCL documents to arrive. Please tell me I'm not the ONLY one still waiting

 

[rottie110]

anyone notice that are posts are off, the same posts from a few days ago are still listed as today.... I went to tech support and fixed issue on hardware but its still not right. even the tickers are off

 

[Haley'smom]

Cadburysmom, you are not alone. We are still waiting for docs here in detroit. The document fairy has not reached the midwest yet

 

[Triggs2]

16 days and counting!! I have not started packing but I am making lists. Must get underwater cameras, make sure the shorts are still fitting the kids etc. This is so Exciting! Here's hoping that the Midwest have gotten their docs!
