Lanyard Status 5/19:
Talked to formerCPer (Brian). He is getting the lanyard
design E ready to go. So I'm ready to start accepting everyone's order and payment.
Please note that
DCL did not grant us permission to use copyrighted materials, which is probably the Disney font, mickey icon and use of Disney Magic. However, they said its unlikely anything will be said to us about it if we make them up and wear them AND ARE NOT SELLING THEM. They are totally fine if we made them at home, its the use of an independent vendor that gets tricky. The big thing is that we are not selling these lanyards and are strictly for personal use.
5/17:Got the badge holder sample. Its bigger than I thought compared to the Key to the World card but you can easily open and stick your fingers in to get to the card. So I wonder if we should stick with that size or go smaller?
ORDER INFORMATION:
Since this is a two color lanyard, the cost will be $2.43 per lanyard
Each lanyard comes with a badge holder which is $0.20 each
So I need a total of
$2.63 for each lanyard
Add $1 for each reel. I'm thinking of ordering the black reel to go with the black lanyard. Sound Ok with everyone?????
So the total for a
lanyard with reel is $3.63.
Timeline: Would like to get the lanyard order in before June 15th latest. Which means I need everyone's payment prior. Anyone else who wants to order, please post and let me know. Payment info is below.
Payment: I can take paypal payments (basic account, not the premier account) at kylarice at worldnet.att.net. If you don't have paypal, I will take a check. For the UK people who don't have paypal, just pay when you pick up your lanyards, under the table please. Please pm me for my address to send the checks to. Please include your DIS forum name with any payment, so I know who you are.
Update: Ok, on the paypal payment, some of you are sending me are OK and some are using their premier account. I have a personal account (basic) and while it does allow me to accept payments from folks with premier accounts it charges me a fee to accept plus it limits the number of payments I can accept to a total of 5 for the year. So, if you are unsure, go ahead and try sending me a payment via paypal and if it kicks back as denied, then you know that you have a premier account and I just denied it. Then you will need to send me a check. Pm me and I will give you my address.
Ok so far I have the following interest:

Lanyard Design Options (by formerCPer)
Design E is the Winner!

It comes with a badge holder:

To add a badge reel
http://www.kennyproducts.com/Mercha...en=PROD&Store_Code=KPI&Product_Code=425-blank, will be another $1 per badge reel.
I was thinking of ordering once I get everyone's payment and bringing them to Barcelona or the DIS meetup to pass out.
Please note: I called the lanyard maker and DCL regarding the design of these lanyards and if there were any copyright or trademarked problems. Both told me they were OK with it since we are using them for personal use and not selling them (thats why I need your payment first before I put the order in). Although DCL said that the design is OK, they said there is a small chance that guest services may request that we not wear the lanyard (I guess if the Disney police are onboard). ETA: I have since emailed DCL a picture of the lanyard design to get another confirmation that the design is OK. ETA: DCL responded with a generic "we can't grant permission to use copyrighted materials" esp with an independent vendor due to agreements with other vendors. If you chose to create items with Disney designs at home - no problems as LONG AS THEY ARE NOT BEING SOLD. ETA: sent email to DCL asking for specifics: which items (images, font or words) are copyrighted that are on the lanyard. No word yet. ETA: called DCL to follow up on generic email. They said this is a gray area. They can't grant me permission to use copyright materials. However, they highly doubt that DCL will say anything if we went ahead and made up the lanyard AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT BEING SOLD AND ARE FOR PERSONAL USE.
I posted this on the previous page, but in case you haven't seen. Some people were confused on how things attach together. Hopefully, this will clear it up:
Here is the lanyard with the badge holder (except ours will be vertical)
Here is the lanyard with badge reel (except ours will come as two pieces: a lanyard with J hook (as shown in the above pic). Each badge reels has a belt clip in back. The J hook hooks on the belt clip of the badge reel. See the little tab on the badge reel? That will snap onto the top of the badge holder. The badge holder will hold your Key to the World card.
The badge reel is not heavy duty. It is a light string and is made to hold the weight of your badge holder.
