Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone who's recently joined the thread would like to add their info:


List of DISers going on cruise!


Mediterranean Cruise DIS List for July 28 with Meet & Itinerary info

See which cabins are occupied by DISers

Hi All,
Thanks for the kudos. It was fun. These were built on a one-half inch baseline, but could easily be adjusted for the larger size. Option C would have red or white Mickeys for a two-color scheme. But red wouldn't show up well. Notice the last choices borrow from the flag of Italy. IMO, a one-color will work fine and is not worth the extra set-up and print cost. But I am agreeable to the group decision.

Using the Disney font is an interesting idea. My concern is that particular font has descending strokes that would require it to me much smaller in size. Additionally, the amount of text we have used -- and I had to shorten it somewhat -- requires a more narrow font in order to fit it all.

If I find the Disney font for Mac I'll see what it looks like. Or, if we are good to go as is we simply need to decide definitely on size and color(s).

Brian

Great work!
What would be the two colors for option C? Would it be red Mickeys?
Can we do it in a Disney font? What would that look like? Although the font you are using probably stands out alot better.
I like option B, waiting to see what option C is going to look like.

Brian, did you figure this on the 1/2" or 5/8" lanyard?

I just have a quick questions, does anyone recall the color of the CC lanyards? Are they black or dark blue? Can't find mine at this exact moment! I like Option B but will it blend with CC Gift lanyard?

 

[Sandaneli]

Count us in for 2 lanyards. Any of the options is fine with us.

Has the meet been set for 2 on Sunday (1st sea day)? We have Exotic Rasul booked for that time but we can change it if necessary.

Please let me know.

 

[formerCPer]

Logging off for the night. Big storm headed our way ... again.

 

[jlawall]

Hey all! Any lanyard would be fine with us (I like "B")............

Helen,
Lynn & Keith are linked with us, no worries, (it wasn't listed when I saw my ressie either, but if we have to, we'll make sure when we get onboard.)

Grab bags.........I'm open to the other way (putting one small thing in everyone's bag) ...........or..........just making one bag for someone to pick randomly.............I think I would rather do the one item from each of us..........what does everyone think??

Also, I like the 2pm, Sunday, idea (7/29)..........where should we meet again??

I'll try to post our pics when my digital is fixed (my DD20 is home from college, so all my technical glitches should be fixed soon!)

Everyone (and their dogs) look great, it's nice to meet you!!

Thx for the info about the Med cruise............I'm more excited than ever!!!

I agree. I like the idea of putting something in each person's bag.

Also, I like the 2pm, Sunday, idea 7/29) .......... where should we meet again??

I also like Sunday. That will give us time to settle in and then meet each other early in the cruise.

 

[kyla]

Darn it. I can't make the DIS Meet on the first sea day. I have my spa appointment from 2-4pm and Palo brunch before that. Any chance we could do it after 4pm and before 6pm?

 

[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
disneylover 5 5
formerCper 4 graphics skills
10yrann 8
MaryJo 3
LynnTarrant 2
Sandaneli 2
so we are at about 94. 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.
http://www.kennyproducts.com/Mercha...&Store_Code=KPI&Category_Code=Custom-Lanyards
Here are the badge holders that attach to the lanyard or badge reel:
Badge holder vertical http://www.kennyproducts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=KPI&Product_Code=372
This is the one that the other cruises recommend: http://www.laminationstation.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=806&item=BH506F&type=store

Options:
1)1/2" custom printed lanyard with badge holder ($2.50) http://www.kennyproducts.com/Merchant2/LAN101sample3.htm
1a) Same as option 1 but adds a badge reel for about a $1. (Really, this is an add-on option) 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. We only need a minimum order of 10 blank badge reels. ($3.50) http://www.kennyproducts.com/Mercha...en=PROD&Store_Code=KPI&Product_Code=425-blank
2)plain lanyard and custom printed badge reel ($2.50): http://www.kennyproducts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=KPI&Product_Code=424

Option C would be two colors - yellow print and red or white mickeys
