April 3 Wonder Cruisers - NO PEEKING



I also made bottle cap necklaces for each child. The boys got pirates, girls are pirate also, but personalized with their initial.

.

I am doing these, too, but yours are way cuter (Don't worry, I'm on a different cruise!) I was thinking of doing Lanyards, but most people have those...

I came up with 3 ideas, and thought I was so creative - but then I found this thread and found out that - not only did other people have the same ideas, but they can make the gifts look so much better!! Oh, well, makes for great inspiration!

Do you all think guys would like a bottlecap keychain? I am having a hard time thinking of something for the men... I was going to do some kind of tropical Mickey design... I love the great crafty ideas!

I will post mine when I am done...having trouble with the resin setting. (Had an unexpected dust storm and got a little sand in it. Grrrr to wind!) Hope to post soon...

We went February 27, 2011 to March 6, 2011 on the Disney Wonder to the Mexican Riviera. These are the goodies that we made for our fish extenders...we had over 90 people, so we wanted to do something that everyone (children and adults alike) would love!

Oh my! The FE gifts on here are fantastic!! Such nice gestures and wonderful additions to any cruise! I've met so many great ppl on here already and I've only been a member for a month!
I will be participating in May on our Dream cruise!! But most of my gifts are just plain ole disney party favors.
I'm trying to plan our VR so I won't have the extra time this cruise. BUT, I can't wait til our next one! I have so many great ideas now!
Thanks DISers!!

Would you like this....

On the disboards, there is a thread with recipes from various Disney Resorts/Parks/Cruise Ships... I was thinking about making a cookbook using the recipes from DCL.

What do you think?

 

[luvndizny]

I think that would be a great idea! I seriously was just thinking today about our upcoming cruise...and I *think* they teach you how to make some appetizers, etc. but I would LOVE to know how to make some of the most popular dishes (like the famed Palo souffle). Regardless, whatever recipes you print (there's also the drink-of-the day too), I think it would be a great reminder of the cruise any time they tried any of them.

I plan on putting on here what I am making for some of our FE gifts after we return.

oh those are beautiful - how my dd wishes she was going on your cruise. hell she wishes we lived on the ship

 

[Rita1965]

I love making jewelry, so it was fun to add a little Disney theme into them. I have most of them done, but will make some with a dark ruby red color as well.

Don't we all wish we lived on the ship. I am counting the days until our cruise now.

I would also like to know where you got the mickey dangles. My nieces would love those!

 

[Rita1965]

I got the dangles on ebay. Don't remember who the seller was. Then I wire wrapped the dangles to the bracelets. I also got some red and purple dangles in the past that I attached to lanyards I made, so we have something to hang our cards to while on the ship. I have pictures of those as well right below the picture of the bracelets.

We would love this! We had asked the chef from Animators Palate for his recipe for gnocchi, and it never made its way to us. So for those that love to cook, this is an awesome gift!
