June 23rd 2012 - Commandeering the Disney Fantasy - Pirates back in the Caribbean

[buckifan]

I didn't buy or make shirts last time, mostly because we don't usually 'do' matching shirts.

But......you will "do" things for a shirt, right?

 

[Downrivermama]

OK, ordered MMC t's. Zazzle has 25% off untill tomorrow! Kate and I have some matching t's. Oooo, I should put a t out for her to wear and than show up at work with the same one on! That would freak her out!!!

 

[got2travel]

Yeah, but I am having a hard time not mentally picturing them in there.



The problem now is if we order them too far in advance, they may not fit by the time we need them.

Also, do the names go on top of logo, bottom or on back?

I had the same question as Steph, who's gonna grow? LOL.

Most of us printed the name on the back, but there were a few that didn't get the memo and printed the names on the front.

Love it.
Isn't that our job? To embarass our teens??

Oh well, printed our names on the front. Not a fan of my name on my back.

At every opportunity! Kaitlin has already grown 5'4" and jr size 5-6, depending how it's cut. I got her an adult M. I have the feeling that by this summer she will be as tall as me or taller!

 

[m&m's mom]

I think I would get names on the front too. The M's and I have long hair and no one would see our names on the back.

We had the names printed across the back of the shirts. We wore them around Disneyland one day and got a ton of compliments on them. Linda's and mine will probably still fit, but I think the kids may go up a size or two (or four) between 2008 and 2012.

I don't think I want to know what she is willing to *do* for a shirt!

It's that whole *stranger danger* thing. But, for some reason I don't mind posting mine and my kid's names on the internet.

Not trying to wet blanket the thread, but we were not on the East bound crossing, can someone fill us in on the T-shirts? Are they something we can buy for the upcoming cruise? Thanks

On back.

Fascinating....

I've never heard this expression before -

"the WET BLANKET" thing....

 

[dahuffy]

OMG!!! I have not laughed that much since 3 weeks ago when in a blinding rain storm I jumped into a total strangers car sopping wet cause I thought it was Bill. Worse is I convinced Miranda it was our Yukon XL and drug her into the car with me. The worst part is the guy driving did not even look up when we jumped in and almost drove off with us thinking we were his family.

Blonde Moment???

omg

A couple of years ago Miranda's team was lined up on the bench before a game and one of the others players Dad kissed her on the head and said "Good Luck Honey". Imagine his surprise when Miranda turned around and looked at him. He was so embarrassed. The whole row of girls all had blonde hair and he thought Miranda was his daughter.
Everyone saw it and we were all cracking up.

Yes, Zazzle still has them, or I also still have the graphic to print your own.

I printed my own in 2008 but that only lasted one washing. So in 2010 I ordered from Zazzle and it's still holding up.

yeah, most of the ones I made myself made it only one washing- mostly because they "accidentally" ended up in the dryer also- even though on low like I always use except for towels and DH's work clothes. sigh
But the ones we ordered (mickey mouse club ones) from Zazzle are fine thru a few washings (and drying LOL)

Hi Lisa! I've turned into a band parent! Joe is a band geek (drum line) and I've gotten myself involved in the booster club as well as volunteering at our marching band home competition.

Awesome!

I think I would get names on the front too. The M's and I have long hair and no one would see our names on the back.

yeah.
We put ours on the back.... my hair covered about half the name sometimes then got longer and covered it completely. Both girls have really long hair... totally covered the names unless they had hair in ponytails and then covered the middle of the names. LOL Except when eldest wore pigtails one time we wore the shirts- then you could see her name. LOL
All the kids have grown so I'll have to buy theirs again.... IDK about if I should put name on back if it's not even going to be seen? Or we all wear pigtails when we wear the shirts? LOL (the shirts, pigtails and mickey hats would be cute on the girls... not so sure about myself. LOL)

It hasn't been FIVE YEARS!!!

... has it?

However I bet my absence FELT like five years!

Seriously, though... I find posting my dribble among old friends to be oddly refreshing as well ... and to all the rest ~ oh well. There's always time for us to BECOME good friends in the months ahead. And if we don't become friends ... count yourselves lucky I'm posting a bunch of images and animations ... as it is probably preferable to my wind bag essays I'm inclined to ocassionally bang out!

Now on another note - I can't get my newish Wii to work right!? I think our rechargible power packs need more juice - Now what am I to do about getting BUFF in time fer the cruise?

You're right again Crash...it has only been 4 1/2 years. I was on the 2006 halloween cruise that you switched out to a southern at the end. You were actually the one that gave me the name GDAC, which has acutally stuck. I have just started to try and earn my peg leg as a pirate.

Deja vu?

All over again!

OMG!​

You're right! I now remember that sailing and the thread we hung out on. You know - we switched on the strength of a promo postcard DCL sent us for the Southern. We had good fun - but we missed the antics of Halloween on a DCL sailing. Odd too is that the other image I posted is of myself on another cruise line for Halloween! I'm in my full Jafar regalia as purchased from Disney.com on clearance for $25! I ended up fabricating a snake staff with a can of silly string rigged inside the snake mouth to shoot!!! That was a fun cruise - even though it was not Disney.... The photo above was from that September sailing.... below is me trying to recreate a familar image on that same southern sailing:
