May 3, 2012 Dream--3 Night Bahamas

[snoozin'cruisin]

Lisa, I vote for a name. The June cruise we were just on had "Motley Cruise". People did some amazing things with the name and a logo they also made up. Down to shirts with the logo. We got an awesome magnet with the name and logo that is proudly on our fridge! It is nice to be able to call ourselves something other than the May 3rd cruisers! As for suggestions, I have none, but I will ask the crew when I get home from work (Don't tell my boss).

And Lisa, You are doing a great job. No worries there! I too agree for a cut off date. Very hard to think you are done with gifts and then need to add more.

Suzy

That sounds like a great idea. Perhaps the kids will have a super name for us all. If not how about " Disney Dreamers"
" Beautiful Dreamers"
Starboard Dreamers or Starboard Friends
Disney Cruisers
I'm sure the kids will think up a more appropriate name. They are so imaginative. Also the cut off date is a good idea. And Lisa, You are truly the greatest. Sally

Thank you,Suzy! and don't worry, your secret is safe with me, i won't tell your Boss I am horrible at thinking up names, so if your crew has suggestions, they are more than welcome!!!! I agree that "may 3rd cruisers" is sorta boring lol.

Where do you go to get the T-shirts and Magnets made? I haven't seen anything like that around here. I went shopping again today and now have 5 bags full of stuff for FE gifts. Now I just have to find them their own suitcase and hope the customs people don't give me any trouble taking them over the border.How do you get those little dancing smileys to migrate over onto the notes we write? I've tried and tried and nothing happens. I Guess I'm still not a computer geek.

O.K...let me see if i can help you out with this without totally confusing you. 1) the tshirts you can get one of 2 ways i know of, you can order them through websites like cafepress.com or zazzle.com and pay for each shirt or you can make them yourself (which is what we did) Get solid color Tshirts. you can order transfer paper that you put into your printer just like regular printer paper, and print off designs onto it. you then iron it onto the shirt and voila! you have your shirt. I will give you the website for some of the best transfers i have found yet if you are interested. also go to the disigns board on here and look at the different designs they create, you can request certain names,dates, etc. if you find one you like. If you want more info just let me know and i'll find the links to the sites for you. 2) magnets are basically the same way. you find a design that you like and then you either print it off on magnet sheets that you feed through your printer like printer paper or print it off on cardstock and laminate it, then put magnets on the backsides of them. 3) as for the smilies.....when you click on reply to someones message, beside the box where you type your reply, there is a whole "list" of them, just click on the one you like . the "animate" version of it will not appear in your reply until after you have hit submit or preview. OK hope that helped and didn't confuse you!! oh ya, if you don't want to carry all your FE gifts to Florida with you, if you'll look on the sticky's at the beginning of the cruise board, you will find and address to ship stuff to the ship and it will be waiting on you.

Something else i wanted to see about...i have been looking into the outlook bar that was suggested for the meet. According to the info i have found out on it, it doesn't open until 5 pm on the first day and 7 the following days. If we wait till five, that will push those of us that have first seating for dinner. Just let me know what opinions/ideas you all have.

Lisa and Sally,

We will need to check on the time about Outlook Bar. I will look at our navigators. Bartender said that hours are not always posted and said he is there pretty much all day by himself. But we should check to make sure.

Names, the family has a few (actually DH).

The Black Pearls

Kastaway Krewe

Capt. Jack's Sparrows

Sally, you've got some good ones there too. We can work on the name for a while and then vote amongst the active people and then we will have a name. Remember to have fun planning.

Get back with you on the time.

You are just a whiz at this computer stuff aren't you. Thanks so much for the info and I would be interested in some of the links available when we decide on a logo and name. Please keep me updated. Also shipping the FE stuff sounds like a great idea since we have 5 people , lots of luggage, a wheelchair and one suitcase full of diapers to take. I just don't travel lightly.
Thanks again so much. I'll keep referring to your note to help me in preparing for the meet and greet. Sally

ok..whenever we decide on our logo/name i'll send you the info I thought i'd post a pic of all of us (my mom and stepdad are in this pic too) of the shirts i made for embarkation on our last cruise dec 2009.

I made another for me, my mom, and daughters as well that said something about 3 generations . I don't have a good pic of it though.

The T-shirts and all of you look great.
I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with the smilies. I was trying to click and drag them instead of just clicking. I'm a little slow but persistant.Now I'm going to try to send you a photo of us on here but have no idea how to.

I think my fish extender for 5 people might be a little long. I'll have to fold it up. Yours is very nice.

Okay can't send the photos. I've got the photos but can't get them to go anywhere.
Slow but eager to learn

Only way i know to get them on here is to 1) go to photobucket.com and open an account, then download your pics on there.

2) after your pics are downloaded, underneath each pic there are several boxes, one will say img code, click on that one

3) come back here and paste the img code into the spot where you leave your reply and then post!

does anyone else have any ideas for our cruise group name? I thought about trying to put a poll on here so we could vote for the name we like the best ,but will have to figure out how to do so. Just let me know if anyone else has names to submit before i create the poll

Lisa

 

[gator287]

Lisa,

We don't have anymore names right now. We look forward to helping pick a name though. Have a great evening.
Suzy and Ed

 

[tngal]

ok..i've been asking around on here and seems the only way i can do a poll is to post a thread on the DCL board and then put a link to it here. Does that sound ok with everyone?

Myolite and Dawn --do you guys have any names that you would like to submit?

I have come up with some that i'll add to the poll

Just also wanted to add that if anyone would like to add me to their facebook, go to facebook.com/scarlett233 if that doesnt work, look for Lisa Williamson Goss.

Lisa

 

[tngal]

Ok..i posted a poll on the main DCL thread with the names submitted for our dismeet group...here is a link to our poll. I started to check the option to show who voted and what they voted for, but decided against it. poll will end 30 days from today. If everyone would either PM me or just drop a line on here to let me know you voted i would appreciate it. that way i know everyone voted, and yes you can vote for each person in your family if they are in our group

I can't believe my good luck. I was in Michael's today and they had bright yellow t-shirts 2 for $5.00. I bought 4 but they didn't have one big enough for Johnny so I searched though a half dozen stores to no avail and then, on the way home, saw a little team embroidery shop I didn't know existed. They had just one bright yellow t-shirt XX large so I got that one and was surprised when they said it was only $6.00. I was expecting to pay $20.00 or more. In Canada we don't get great deals very often so I'm thrilled. Anyway when you all decide on a logo I'm prepared,with good quality t-shirts that I got dirt cheap. Ha, hoo.

Hi Lisa. Kerry and Johnny like Mickey's Mariners but , since I've already voted, the machine won't let me vote for them.
