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

[kyla]

I figured thats what you did Andrew. Hit that 25 character limit. You went pirateless on the last posting of pirates, well except yours.

 

[Pixie Dust II]

Yes, I get motion sickness just thinking about it---so I just got my prescription filled for the motion sickness patch. That really works for me!

NOT FUNNY TAG FAIRY!!!!!!!!!! I can see who's side your on!!!!
You MUST be a male tag fairy!!!!!

That is a really funny tag

Good Evening
How do I report an indentity theft, somebody stole my DIS board name and has bought it into disrepute in the last two days whilst I've been working hard.

I'm not a cheat honestly I'm completely trustworthy, I'm so upset and embarassed I don't know how I'm going to face you all in July.

and now I have to wear the shame for ever I have been marked for life by the Tag Fairy.

I hope ofsted and the dfee dont read the dis ...

Honestly dont worry, we know you dont normally cheat - anyone can have a moment of weakness.
(Thought I'd better stick up for one of my dining budies)

I had to cut them all back!!!

: We're in 7629 are you tempted to move to a cat 12? I don't know what to do we'd save $1500.

I thought our savings would be only $1500 too. But checked with DCL and found out it was $2000. I was also checking online. If you make sure everything is exactly the same, via making a mock duplicate reservation, then it should come out $2000 if you're in category 11 with 2 adults moving to cat 12.

 

[MrsJobba1]

Yes, the Key to the World cards will fit in the badge holders. All lanyards will have badge holders. If you get the badge reel, the badge holder will attach to the badge reel instead of directly to the lanyard.

Thanks Kyla, that confirms it. Put me down for 2 badge reels

Ugh..... ok..... I'm running out of things to say here folks..........

OK you caught me, just trying to get a pirate.

(We teachers ARE the worst!)

Isn't that the truth And look how many are on this cruise

Lanyard Status 5/17:
Ok, I talked to DCL again yesterday. Discussed the email I got. As it was explained to me, although I got this generic email saying that they could not grant permission to use copyrighted materials, they said that this was a gray area. They couldn't come out and grant permission (which is what they said I was asking for. I thought I was asking which if anything on the lanyard was copyrighted). They said that I will see other people on the cruise ship with their own Tshirt creations and having done essentially what we want to do. Its unlikely that DCL will say anything to us if we choose to get the lanyards made up for personal use AND ARE NOT SELLING THEM. So if formerCPer is comfortable with that answer, can we move forward?

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?

Timeline: Would like to get the lanyard order in before June 15th latest. Which means I need everyone's payment prior. If we end up changing the lanyard design again, I will need re-confirmation from everyone that you still plan on buying the lanyard before I start collecting money. We need a minimum order of 100 lanyards.

Payment: Please don't send money now since I would like to get the lanyard design settled first. I prefer payment via paypal (can't accept funds from an upgraded paypal account cause I get charged fees) but will take a check. For info coming when we get the lanyard design settled.

Ok so far I have the following interest and vote on lanyard Design:

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.

::



Andrew in your original post you only gave Helen 2 pirate icons instead of 3!!!
and people call me a cheat

Welcome to all of our newcomers you are very welcome however you do have to prove you belong here by describing a Lisa in your lives!!!

Helen SHARE are you sure?
We're in 7629 are you tempted to move to a cat 12? I don't know what to do we'd save $1500.


I got my DVD today too

Argh so you are close to our cabin, but not next door - Hope you dont snore

I put the request into DCL when we booked that the secret deck would be ours - did you not get the memo from them?

As for down grading - We would if we could but we booked 1person on points and 1 cash - the lowest cat DVC would do was an 11. Still I love deck 7.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

That seems so far away

At the posting rate in the last day, it will be in five days.

If we see a lot of pictures it could be Friday!!!

Sorry to be a pain, but I just noticed you've got me down twice on the badge reels bit

 

[LynnTarrant]

oh Helen I'm so sorry,DCL told me they'd been some confusion over that verandah, they were supposed to contact you to let you know that they'd made a mistake and that it was already taken, please don't be too disappointed I'm a whizz at timetables and as you're a dining companion I don't mind you coming onto our verandah when we're off the ship on an excursion or at the spa!


Kyla love your tag too! It's well deserved

 

[kyla]

Are you sure?

Actually, I caught it.

 

[Pixie Dust II]

Has anyone given any thought to our gift exchange at 10:00 on Sunday morning? On every other cruise we have been on it seems to me that the Vacation Club has a get together at 10:00 or the first sea day. Does that sound familiar to anyone??

 

[LynnTarrant]

Are you saying you didn't really earn your pirate?

Oooh Kyla didn't see that coming...not sure what to do now..

I think I'd rather live with the reputation and keep my Pirate

Ok everyone I falsely reported a stolen identity, now I'm a cheat and a liar!

You're quick Kyla have you got kids? They won't get anything over you will they?

I guess that until we see a navigator we won't know but hopefully some nice diser will post the first navigators and we'll be a bit wiser before we leave on our cruise, shall we stick at 10am Promenade lounge for now and see what comes up ? What do the rest of you think?

Hey have you noticed I can do quotes now how do I do these multi quote thingys?

 

[LynnTarrant]

Is anyone still looking for something to do in Naples...Keith and I are thinking of heading to Capri, we've found a company that will do a private boat tour round the island and then a walking tour on the Island, would anyone be interested in joining us?
