Great report! You two are such a beautiful couple! Where did you order your lime bracelets? How did you do that (1 person order for everyone?) I have only found bulk, but how many did you order? for everyone in your dismeet?
TIA
Hi there! As Lynsey said, I took orders for the bracelets up to the deadline date (I think, 3 weeks before the cruise???). I ordered from
http://www.theawristocrat.com/. I was able to do a custom order of "X" number of adult bands & "X" number of youth bands. i think in the end I ordered 123 total. I was able to choose my color, font (waltograph), and what i wanted them to say. Ours said DIS Key Lime Pie-Rates & May 16th, 2009, I think. They were laser cut on both sides. It is a bit hard to see the writing, but we knew it was there!
Oh, and they glowed in the dark too for an extra $0.05!!! I think in the end they worked out to be $1.15 each.
Most people paid by paypal or sent me a check. Some paid me in cash on the ship. What I did was place each DISers name & amount they ordered on the envelope & put their bands in it. This made life a ton easier for us when it came to handing them out. Our first unofficial meet on the 16th was at 10am-ish in the terminal. As Lynsey mentioned in her Trip Report, lots of us found each other there. So we handed lot out then. The rest were handed out at our 1st official meet, at 3pm. Anyone who had not picked up their brands yet, could find them in the bottom pocket of our FE outside our door (most people picked theirs up while handing out FE gifts). We only had about 4 envelopes that had not been claimed yet, and slowly during the week they disappeared.
A couple tips:
* If you order from them, call. They are super flexible and fast. They even let me add to the order after the order had been placed for the same price.
* Check their website & sign up for the club/email. This will get you a 10% coupon to use. That was great cause it helped us all save.
* Youth bands are still a bit big on kids and fit my small adult wrist with room to spare, so if you have lots of little ones you may want to check into smaller options they have & if you have women with small wrists, they will want the youth.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Oh, and I think shipping was free from them too!
Lynsey - LOVING your report. I wish we had made it to see the sunset, but we didn't think to speed up dinner. Cute photos of you & Jason. We also meant to make it to the Southern most point, but it was sooooo hot & the kids were not loving the hike.
I am so glad you figured this out for me! I just couldn't get it! Thanks for the tips, I am going to post this on my cruise meets and head it up
Thanks!
I have training sessions all day on Thursday and Friday, but at least I will have the evenings open. My mom will be my guest since DH didn't think he could find anything to occupy his time while I was in training (he must be crazy!!!). I'm super excited even if it is work related. The whole time I'll be thinking of what a great time my mom must be having relaxing by the pool. We're staying at the Yacht Club, I hope I don't get too spoiled since I'm used to staying at the moderate resorts. I'll take plenty of pics and get them posted on here, after I finish the cruise trip report of course!!!
We just got back from the Western on 6/20 so I am reliving it through your report!! Your pictures are awesome too!! (I just keep looking at them saying to myself "why didn't I take one like that??")
