? for those who have had the diver/menu at Coral Reef

[disneyin2008]

I was very lucky and Debbi is giving us both the diver and the menu.

Now I just gotta figure out something wonderful to put on it. It's not a birthday/anniversary or it'd be a bit easier. This is just a wonderful surprise I want to give my girls because I love them, am proud of them, and well, what can I say, I love surprises, and this is one of several for them (like we're NOT staying off site, and we're staying longer than they think, lol).

So....what did you put on your diver sign and menu? Pictures would be fantastic, but if you don't have them available, can you just tell me how you figured out what to say!

Thanks.

Hi
I had the diver and menu for my DH's birthday. So I just said "happy birthday with his name and then love me. You could say something like I love you, with their names and say "you're the best", love Mom .You didn't say how old they are, so that might make a difference in what you say. The diver was really fun and the menu turned out great. We love the Coral Reef. Have a great time!!

My good friend is a DVC member and he put together a Grand gathering for 16 people-4 families -all childhood friends. I read about the diver/sign here on the Dis. He never even heard of it before. It was his idea for everybody to go to coral Reef. I surprised him and his family first when the menus came out. It was just a simple phrase "Family Vacation 2007" and a few pics of us. Everyone was blown away by this --pointing the finger "Hey you did this?!?". Then after dinner THE DIVER!!! They made a sign thet said" Thanks XXXX Family" My buddy couldn't believe it! --How did they know his name??? I finally broke down and told everyone on the way to Test Track. He still talks about it to this day. Debbi @Coral is fantastic!!!!

Did they get the personalized menus for the entire grand gathering? I'm going with a group of 15, and wasn't sure if I could ask for personalized menus for all of us or not.
Thanks.

I have a diver for my sons birthday BUT this is also my kids first trip. On our first day we are going to 1900 and I am getting them a cake that says Welcome to Disney Ally and Mason....I dont know what day you are going but maybe you could do something like that

What about "We love you ___ and ___" and include pictures of their favorite characters?

We celebrated our daughters' birthdays (July, August, September) and son's first birthday (August) last week at Coral Reef. I emailed a pic of the girls holding him after he was born at the hospital and a kissy face picture of him and had them print "Happy Birthday Mia, Caitlyn, Nina & Max! What a fabulous year it has been!"

Then the diver held up the Happy Birthday sign. Here's a pic:

It was really awesome. They were blown away! Debbi helped me to make their day!
