May 18, 2013 MAGIC EBTA - Who is with us?

[gonecrusin]

I have a Belle dress if anyone would like it, just pay for the postage to get it to you. It measures 50" from the shoulder to the bottom of the hem and about 32" around the waist. A little bit of adjusting with elastic could make it fit someone smaller. Just let me know if you would like to see a picture and I will send one.

What is secret Mickey? Is it like secret Santa? Do u give gifts everyday? Is it for everyone or just kids? Sorry for so many questions but we've never done any of this stuff on any of our cruises before, kind of new to the dis boards.

I love how busy this thread is!

I've got family staying here and haven't been able to keep up this weekend. DH and I are hoping to do the Palo brunch, looks as if we might be the first folks in the second group. I can't believe my husband is agreeing to all this stuff! He's getting excited as well.

Is there anyway to do a t-shirt for the group where we each have to log in somewhere to order our own? I'd love to get us all t-shirts but don't want anyone to need to worry about being paid for them (like with the lanyards).

Hope everyone's having a great day and thank you for all of you who are volunteering to do stuff!

I would be willing to help so you don't know who your Secret Mickey is! . Don't want to participate but would be willing to do what needs to be done so it's a secret to you.

Thanks for the offer!!!
I think i just let my husband help me out here he will do just half of the drawing names including myself so that way it's still a secret for me and my husband will crack himself up, because he knows who it is and i don't and i can't stand that... So that is 100% pure fun for him.
He is into this stuff but not as much as i am, he follows... So this way he is involved.

If this would change i'm certainly comming back to you for help!!!!

Okay put me down for organizing Secret Mickey!!

I think some have looked into it previously but if any "Disney" stuff then many tshirt places steer clear of it. VistaPrint is one of the only ones I have found to print these type of things. I'll take pics of how my shirts turned out when they arrive - uploaded the image that was my favorite as the graphic on the back (large) and the front has a Mickey Head with my name and Disney underneath that in the cruise logo font. The kids shirt I just did front only with the large graphic and their name on a Mickey Head. The only negative is that each person who uploads an image has to pay $5 per image to get it into their account (or less if on sale) but can make any amount of tshirts. I tried letting people order from my account last time and it was a mess because each phone rep had a different story. Yes they could, no they couldn't, they need my password, etc.

Heck, I even tried the customized Tervis tumbler with the same image VistaPrint is doing on tshirts and have had it rejected twice now - I even took off the Cowboy Mickey and the word "Disney" is not on there at all. I guess those three overlapping circles look like a "Mickey Head" or something that have flags on them

ETA: Look at the bottom of this post as to how we tried to do it last time

Just in case anyone missed it.

Those of you who have already sent PMs, I have received them and placed you in May 20th Group 1 which is close to filling up. Once we get 12, I will start Group 2 for May 22.

I will not be sending in our requests until after March 3, 2013 ( booking and online check in date for First timers).

If I put us down now incase we don't get our own Palo brunch - how definite is it? I know that may sound bad......

That may be a good idea - maybe an t shirt to wear at our first onboard meet? Are you organising that Mandy - or have I completely lost the plot?

Ah, you mean certain places don't want to print Disney logos/writing style etc? Vista print are OK with this?

Oh that's a shame - will be disappointed if we can't get in there

Tink im sure we could have picked one up on embarkion day but
Didn't want to take the risk as it was our 1st cruise. We ended up
Having a great time at group brunch and have signed up to do it again, now

You two are the first in Group 2. I think you are psychic!!

Right now I'm keeping the groups at 12 even though the max for the private room is 14. So I can easily add you two later. Another thing is I will not be sending the requests in until everyone's booking window has passed, so there is plenty of time.

Back in 2009 we were able to download our logo and everyone could go to the site on their own and order t-shirts, polos, etc. I am willing to get this setup but I'm not sure if we have a logo finalized. While I'm waiting to hear back I'll see if there are any restrictions.

ValBob is doing shirts (collared, button down) and this is a completely separate tshirt I had put together last summer and shared over on the facebook page

I just always order tshirts for our family or make our own. On the WBTA we had some who were technically challenged so it was easier to devise a plan for them to call VistaPrint, make an order over the phone using a product code from my account. Then we ran into snaggles. Otherwise the easiest way is for someone to download the image from our cruise website that they want on a tshirt, create an account at VistaPrint, upload the image and order whatever they want... tshirts, magnets, pens, etc.

Ah, you mean certain places don't want to print Disney logos/writing style etc? Vista print are OK with this?

VistaPrint has been fine for the other 25+ Disney shirts that were ordered from my account over the years First Disney Trip, MVMCP, etc shirts. Literally that is what everyone used - uploading and tweaking (can put your own name on it) then ordering. We'll see how this order goes I placed Saturday if their rules have changed. To me they do turn out better than the Hobby Lobby tshirts plus AmyMickey iron-on, but with Hobby Lobby we can vary the tshirt colors. (We had the same design in November but each of us had a different colored tshirt)

Good idea - thank you - I will do it that way around instead

That would be so awesome!


One other place maybe... Zazzle? I think Mickey Mouse Clubhouse tshirts were ordered by several there too on our wbta. Can't remember - I ended up doing the iron-on route.
