I have updated page one, post 10, with your details.

 

[Iowazipcode]

Can we still get 4 lanyards?

 

[Iowazipcode]

My dautgher say that there are not enough people on the teens/tweens board and would really appriciate more people to post.

Laura,
I love your Isis and Chloe pics. I couldn't view them til now (block on my work computer). Anyway, your girls are both gorgeous.

 

[kyla]

Ok so far I have the following interest:
Me 9 + extra (for the grab bags)
Jlawall 7
Eeyorelvr10 6
kidcoos3 5
Andrew UK 4
Salliep 3
Pixie DustII 4 - likes the reel up one - is that option 2?
AnnaS 5
disneymagic316 9
MrsG 2
MrsJobba1 2
Lovebeast 4
Iowazipcode 8
so we are at about 70. Getting closer to 100.

I'm just seeing if there is enough interest to even place an order. Once I see enough interest, my plan is to ask/vote what people want exactly, what it should say, what color, etc. I was thinking of ordering once I get everyone's payment and bringing them to Barcelona to pass out. So cost should be around $2.50 to $3.50 depending on what we choose. Here is a link to some samples.
The other DISsers have used the 1/2" lanyards and say they are very comfortable.

Here is the badge reels: http://www.kennyproducts.com/Mercha...CTGY&Store_Code=KPI&Category_Code=Badge-Reels
Options:
1)1/2" custom printed lanyard with badge holder ($2.50)
2) 1/2"custom printed lanyards (with J hook) with blank badge reel and badge holder. The badge reel is removable, so you can just wear it clipped to you belt or purse when you don't want to use the lanyard. If you don't want a badge reel, don't order one. We only need a minimum order of 10 blank badge reels. ($3.50)
3)plain lanyard and custom printed badge reel ($2.50): http://www.kennyproducts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=KPI&Product_Code=424
4) others?
Badge holder vertical, either #370 or #372, whichever fit the Key to the World card: http://www.kennyproducts.com/Mercha...GY&Store_Code=KPI&Category_Code=Badge-Holders
Here's another badge holder with a ziplock on top: http://www.laminationstation.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=807&item=BH506ZS&type=store
Here's an interesting one, wonder how secure that is: http://www.laminationstation.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=806&item=BH504HC1&type=store

MORNING ALL

HAVE A GOOD SUNDAY​

This time last week we were posting our ressies.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Since booking my Ressies last Sunday for my Med trip, I have noticed that ''MY CRUISE PLANS'' page and sellection options have changed on the DCL website.

Its far easier to navigate, if I go into the PANAMA 2008 ressie I can see part of the new layout now AS WELL, but IN my MED one and see the availability and compare what I have booked.

Even though I have booked one of each of the three Palo options, I could see a dinner availability for first night, and it said I have options. Presume now you have the option to view availability and then if you want it swap them over rather than cancel and hope you can rebook.

Looks good and always you have a strip on the right hand side showing what you have booked so far and view/edit options on all of them.

 

[salliep]

My dautgher say that there are not enough people on the teens/tweens board and would really appriciate more people to post.

I am goign to re- post the link for the tween/teewn board every now and then in case people dont go back and check old posts...

[lovebeast]

thanks andrew for the update on disney's website. it is nice to see what is available so that if you want to change your excursion you won't have to cancel what you already have. i saw that the ferrari excursion was full. shoot, i was really counting on doing that.

Everyone!

OK - getting rather excited and nervous now. I was checking in and noticed a lot of new people now -



Anyway, just wanted to check in and still trying to figure out how to get DD14 to sign up - course it would help if she were here ( ) - she's been at G-mas! Mom and Dad had an adult only party at a friends house. We got to enjoy the De La Hoya-Mayflower fight. It was good - but the best part? I got to drink! DH wasn't feeling well so this time I got to but no !

I was however, limited to a new drink - 1/2 Rockstar and 1/2 Vodka and 1 shot of Patron's Tequila (only because I dropped the cards at the table (rule is if you drop your hand - you take a shot)

I know I know - not the best thing to do when your trying to lose weight but heck -I needed to de-stress - didn't realize I was holding that much stress in. Now I'm back on track hopefully - PLUS!!!!!! EVERYONE noticed and assumed that I'd lost weight. I needed that. (which I haven't really - just inches) While both DD's are doing great and losing weight, I am still yo-yo-ing up - having lost the same lb over and over again. But as I said - mostly everyone commented on how good I looked. THANK GOD someone noticed - I was starting to wonder. So on Monday - its back to regularly scheduled exercise regimen - plus it was nice to get the Food Nazi lmao: ) out of the house for a day. We call DD14 - FN for short - she thinks its funny and has started referring to herself as FN too. Wonder if I should tell her we didn't mean it as a compliment?

OK all, I had a great, fantastic weekend and am just wondering why I haven't done this before? Guess we as parents put our kids first and sometimes forget that we need the time too. OK - them are my two cents. Hope everyone has had a good weekend, tomorrow - back to reality!

Jeanne, any idea how to handle payment? PM me if you want to talk, can donate if you want!

I see light at the end of the tunnel!

Laura,
I love your Isis and Chloe pics. I couldn't view them til now (block on my work computer). Anyway, your girls are both gorgeous.

Thank you - I love them to death - I'd be devastated if anything happened to them. Not that I wouldn't if something happened to my kids but its something about dogs - for some reason - I can connect with them.

I wonder if that's the reason the kids are jealous of them? We all love them but they say that I let them get away with murder. Including laying on my bespread which no one else is supposed to do.

LOL - I got my threads mixed up and posted on here my dogs because on the EB repo they were asking what people were doing with their pets on the TOAL (Trip of a Lifetime) I got overly excited to post and posted on this one too so that's how they ended up here too.

Thanks for commenting - always proud of my girls!
