I want to go on our next cruise with you and the crayon roll-ups - love it!

Thanks! We'll be cruising again and more then likely I would do them again! Not sure when though. I have Oct 2011 booked, but probably will change it to the dream.

Good grief people! The last cruise that we went on was 5 years ago and back in my day we didn't have those new fangled fish extenders. We stuffed all we could on that poor fish and we LIKED it!

I brought little bags with a post card of the Pentagon (where my Husband worked at the time), a Pentagon pen, some ocean themed temporary tattoos and little bit of candy, and that was a good gift!

I guess I better start now working on my cruise next year! Yikes.

You all are way too creative!

I'm thinking of making tote bags for one of our cruises. The Mickey heads are screen printed onto fabric. The fabric feels like it's plastic and you don't need to tuck the hems. It's waterproof and sews up fairly quickly. The bottom is pleated so it can stand up also.

I wanna go on your cruise.

I KNEW I should have checked this thread before making our reservations to see where all the cool FE stuff would be. *laugh*

Thanks guys! Well the lanyards are a long pathetic story! I bought the lanyards with intent to embroider the names and Mickeys on them. Broke a half dozen needles, made my sewing machine go out of timing, and made a huge disasterous mess. Sewing machine in the shop, back to the store for 2 lanyards to replace the ones I messed up.... LOL - so Dh says "can you print out an iron on? " So I "one upped" his idea and cut out the dark transfer paper on my cricut and then placed each letter and ironed them on! (wish I thought of that before messing up the sewing machine!!!)

thank you for the compliments. I've put a lot of thought, hard work and love into my gifts and I hope they help make the trip more magical!!

What an incredibly great idea! I always have extra iron on stuff after cutting out my t-shirt designs.

ROFL! Sadly for you, my creativity lies in more obscure crafty things. Now, if all the young girls on the cruise want matching bows, I'm your gal. *laugh*

We had a great group of Disser's on the Double Dip Delight. I finally have pictures.

First here's what we gave out, little customized flashlights to hang on our lanyards, postcards and calendar magnet.

I hope all my fellow disser's don't mind me posting images of their great creations. This picture includes Val's (woobie) mickey chalkboard, it's a little hard to see with the dark background and my DS's writing on it.

And here are pictures of all the other FE's we got. We got bookmarks, magnets, candy, pirate things, customized pens, customized pencils, 3! cd's - all unique and fun to listen to driving home, 2 beautiful ornaments, the awesome door hanger, some already in use picture frames. I'm most probably forgetting lots others. But we had a great group. Thank you everyone!

Can you share what site you used to order the magnetic calendars? That is amazing!

I got the top design from using one of the disigners on the dcl magnet design thread, I added my own words (in photoshop), added a calendar png file I found on the internet, then printed it using Vistaprint (as an oversize postcard), then I added the peel off business card magnets to the back. Seems complicated but really it's super easy. Let me know if you need more info.

I love everyone's ideas, now I'm more than a year away from my next cruise and trying to plan on my next FE gift (the sailing already only has verandahs and up left, so it will be a busy one with hopefully lots of dis'ers). Keep the ideas coming!

That is a great idea. I really love this.

OOh I love it!!! I love the randomness of the Mickey heads! Also it can be a shopping bag when you go home! I'd say this is a winner!

I almost did this... My problem was that I couldn't think of a boy gift that was on the same level. I think Disney hairbows would be an awesome FE gift!

I love that tote bag. It looks great!!
