July 28, 2007 - "Rome-ancing the Mouse Cruisers" -11 days! Part 2

[Aurora1959]

Thx for your messages...........I'm a little scared but it's not supposed to be serious, I had a little trouble the last time I did it......it's mostly cosmetic but it's also for better circulation, I just feel better having it done........I'm putting it off until after summer though................I WANT TO ENJOY OUR TRIP FIRST!

I hope it goes well for you. I've had a lot of surgeries. It can be scary, and waking up from anesthesia is no fun.

So, the weather is stinky here today - figured I'd watch a movie and do some cruise research/paperwork etc. I was trying to fill out the cruise online info and ran into a snag. It asks where you are going after the cruise and what airport you are leaving from - but Barcelona wasn't one of the choices - anyone else run into this? I sent them an e-mail, we'll see if they get back to me

I think you need to call DCL and give them the flight info. For some reason they don't have all the airports in there. I called them and they said they were working on a list of missing airports but that was a long time ago. I swear they had BCN in there before but with the latest update, it seemed to have kicked it out.

OK 3400 is Mr Smee
and

3500 is Captain Hook!​

Oh No! A challenge. And I was thinking of actually sleeping sometime today.

Thx, that's one of the parts that I'm worried about..........

So how many suitcases is everyone bringing? DH says we should just bring one . I'm thinking two for sure. I'll try really hard for one but what I might do is fit one suitcase insid another and see if I can get away with that. So have one going and two coming back.

Could someone remind me of what we're allowed to bring? I thought it was maximum of 2 suitcases with 44 lbs (23kg) each. Am I wrong about this?

 

[eeyorelvr10]

I'm planning on doing that..

I also have some shoe string tops that I'll wear but I have got a lace poncho to cover up with - what do you think?

My friends say that some places will have someone outside the churches giving away tissue paper to cover your shoulders. Or some type of T-shirt just to cover. Since I don't know the climate over there and where on the latitude it is - I'm planning on taking tank tops some with shoestring but I need the fat straps so that my arms don't look more like sausages than they already do.

I bought a small cardigan and 1 cool looking top that is actually a tube top type but with an attached strap that covers both shoulders - its kinda cool as I got it an BCBG store and it actually fit!

My 1 pound I lost must have worked. I could fit into it. BTW, got weighed on Thursday (before I went out to celebrate that is) and I had lost my prerequisite 1 lb again. However, I don't care 0 I fit into an off the rack top at a "cool" store according to DD.

OK OK - i"m off.

 

[Aurora1959]

NOthing too serious I hope?

Congrats on the pirate. I had multi-quoted this, but I must have done something wrong because it didn't show. Oh well - even IT is allowed eye-dee-ten-tee errors every once in a while.

 

[jlawall]

i don't plan on washing so i'm taking a whole bunch of clothes.

I don't think we'll have time on this trip!

 

[MrsJobba1]

Thx, that's one of the parts that I'm worried about..........

You'll be fine, just think your waking up from a snooze on deck 9 - listen for the sound of the ocean.

In march when I was going under I lay and closed my eyes and imagined I was on Serenity Bay, I was convinced I could her the sea as I cam round

I think it depends on the airline. Not sure what DCL requirements are. I'm trying to limit to one since we'll be traveling around London pre-cruise. Then post cruise, I'll probably want to pop out that other suitcase.

 

[MrsJobba1]

I don't think we'll have time on this trip!

I agree, I think I'm going to send out some of my washing - well it is a holiday

best to check with your airline, and keep checking even up to the day of departure.

BA has changed their rules 3 times since I booked my flight, and warned me that it could change again, even that morning or while I am away. Since I am coming from the US, they have warned that I need to make sure I follow rules for flying through London, and out of BCN. That I should consider the strictest rules.

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.

Lanyard Design Options (by formerCPer)

Design E is the Winner!

Cost for lanyard design E will be about $3.00
It comes with a badge holder: http://www.kennyproducts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=KPI&Product_Code=372
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.
