They used cafepress.com, i'm guess the price will be $15-$20...I tried to upload our logo to it but it's too small, I think you have the original so if you want to try it out and see what it looks like feel free. If you know of another website you can try it out too.

Apparently the logo is natively small - I merged a couple of images I found online to make it and they weren't big to begin with. I'll see if I can find some higher-res starting points.

The logo should work on smaller things, tho. Like keychains! And coffee mugs!

Hello, I would like to confirm that my fiancé and I will be doing FE. I haven’t decided yet what I will do but I will add it to my very LONG list of various wedding and Hunnymoon things to do.

We’re flying in at least on the 12th to do a couple of days at Disney before the cruise. We may do a bit more but it all depends on getting more time off work.

It's snowed a lot here last night, school buses are all cancelled.

I love the idea of lanyards in lieu of t-shirts. I would be willing to purchase them in advance as my FE gift. Is there someone else who can do the design, printing, etc?

I'm currently sitting at home recovering from ankle surgery last week. I will be glad to do some research on the internet during my free time. Are there suggestions for colors, or possibly a printed message, etc?

Hello.... I have been lurking round for the last few months but I have just paid the balance so feel like it is real and that I can now "drop in!"

I am new to Disney cruises so have a few questions - any help would be sooo appreciated!

When can I book Palo? My DH and I would really like to dine here at least once.

I have a very small 4 year old, we dont usually use a pushchair so I dont really want to bring one with us, is there anywhere either on the ship or on CC and other ports that I can hire one so my DH and I can go for longer walks and not have to carry her?

We have not booked with Disney direct, but if the price of the cruise drops (it seems v.quite) do you get the difference refunded? (i have only ever cruised with carnival and I know they do something very similar to the above)

I have gazillions more questions but im hoping that the more lurking I do the more I will learn!

Thanks!!!

Sorry to hear about your surgery. My husband had knee surgery just before Christmas. He had to have his meniscus and ACL repaired. It was a LONG 2 weeks for both of us since he was on crutches and could not carry anything. Good thing I am a stay at home mom. I was able to help him out.

Lanyards sound GREAT!

Welcome aboard newcomers! Guess the ship won't be as empty as I thought! Babystar, feel free to ask questions, we'll do our best to answer. I've only been on one other Disney Cruise but will try to help. We have also cruised Carnival more but you're going to LOVE Disney.

Amanda, thanks for editing the spreadsheet

Lanyards sound wonderful instead of shirts to me also, I was throwing out ideas from our previous cruise, and we also did lanyards. One of the ladies did this as her FE gift. Color doesn't matter to me. She met most of us at the port and handed them out and those she didn't see, she handed them out at our first M&G.

It's so cold here, they've called school off because of extreme cold and probably will again tomorrow. I guess Hannah will end up missing more school than I intended for this cruise due to snow days. Oh well, it'll be worth it, she's a straight "A" student.

I'm getting really excited to have more and more join our group!

No snow day for us! YAY!

My daughter wanted her room redone for her 10th birthday.
I just got done painting it. It is no longer pink but SAILOR MICKEY ( light turquoise blue)

Getting ready to pick her up from school and take her shopping for new bedding, curtains, and accessories.

Her new bed is in the living ready to assembled. So happy, soon all of her stuff will be out of the dining room.

I am ready for a vacation! So excited!

Welcome to all the new posters
We will be arriving in Orlando from NYC on the Wednesday and will be staying at the Beach Club.
We have booked the Fantasmic dinner package on Thursday and on the Friday night we are going to the German restaurant in Epcot. We will also try to see Peter Noone, Herman's Hermits former front man, who is performing at Epcot that day. The last time we saw him live was in the 1970's at a village night club in Nottinghamshire.
Adele loves the idea of the ladies champagne get together and we will both enjoy the DIS meet and the photo scavenger hunt.

We still like the tee shirt idea but if the consensus is for a lanyard, we will be delighted to join in.

no snow in Scotland today, we have already had our share and hope there is no more to come

David and Adele

I like the lanyard idea as well. I am willing to buy my own if nobody decides to do them as a FE gift.

Also SCLMOM thanks for the feedback on your prior EBTA cruise.

Ok, I believe we beat all with about 16 inches of snow just a bit north of Boston. We're buried! 121 days to the cruise and counting.
I'm so done with the snow! Nice to have the day off don't get me wrong, but I'd rather be in warmer climates.

we had at least that and most likely a little bit more and the real heavy kind. But it was great having the snow day. I was able to focus on our trip.

I am paid in full:cool

I am looking forward to my mom vacation!

Sadly, my friend will not be joining me. But, I know I will have a GREAT TIME anyways.

Very exciting! Such a great feeling.

Too bad about your friend, although, you will be surrounded by new friends on the ship, so you'll be just fine!

Hello and welcome, babystar! It looks like our group is beginning to grow a bit.

This being your first Disney Cruise, I believe you can book Palo at 75 days (although don't quote me on that), unless you are cruising concierge which means you'll be able to book tomorrow (120 days). This is only my second Disney Cruise so I'm not an expert my any means...

Can't help you with the stroller rental, although I'm sure others here will be able to assist (and can clarify the Palo ressie as well.)

Anyway, welcome!

Sarah,
It is a very wonderful feeling. I feel very empowered. I am looking forward to making new friends aboard.

ETA: My friend was on a cruise on Allure with her family and my son over Christmas. Plus , wrecked her car due to snow. She needs time to save up. She may add on later if possible. Her and her family are going with us in Aug. on DCL to Alaska.

 

[Winstanik]

[kcashner]

[KevieKev05]

It's January 14th, which means...there's only 4 MONTHS until we set sail!

My son(12 1/2) has been begging to go to Europe.HE tried to convince me to take him along. Not happening!

He just found out the cruise was on Disney. He told me the every time he hears about the trip it gets worse... First, Transatlantic.. then, 14 nights.. now , Disney. It is killing him.
