On our September Canada cruise, the DIS meet folks all wore green flower leis the first day to recognize each other. We could do something like that so at least we will know who we are and can strike up a conversation.

Does Russ like having visitors, I wouldn't mind visiting with him.

My dad is in excellent health and would be thrilled to have someone stop by to visit. That is super kind of you to offer. Please feel free to send me a private message.

As someone once told me, there are little critters called "calories" who live in your closet and every night will eat the threads in your clothing causing shrinkage....

So that's what happened!!!!

I knew it wasn't me

That's a nice idea.

On a few of my cruises we all had matching shirts but its too late for that.

But the idea is the same, have an item people can wear the first day so your easier to recognise.
It needs to be something easy for people to find no matter where they live. Not sure I have seen leis around here. I know party stores have them, but I am not close to a party store. I am willing to look if everyone decides thats what they want.

We "plan to wear" shirts with this on it:

That will be a great shirt.


You will be easy to spot

We "plan to wear" shirts with this on it:

We have never made our own t-shirts before, have been reading about it on the Avery site. Have you any first hand advise that you can share with me?

Don't wait until the last minute! (that is my downfall each time)

Make sure you read the directions that come with your paper - some want you to reverse it, some say print it correctly

Buy the transfer paper at one of the craft stores - use a coupon from the Sunday paper - or you can usually go online to print out a coupon

Wash the shirt before you iron on the design - it removes the "sizing"

Janice, you suggested that mailing the FE gifts to port so that they can be put in the room when we get there is something to consider. Have you ever done this? Any idea on where I go to get an address and mailing instructions? We use the USPS all the time to ship items to our daughter out in Las Vegas so that would be what we would plan on using to get the goods to Port. Probably allow 7 - 10 days shipping given the Thanksgiving holiday schedule.

This information is direct from Disney for shipping packages. Hope it helps you.


Boxes Sent the Ship Ahead of Cruise - PLEASE follow these instructions carefully!!!!!! UPDATED AS OF 2/25/2009
" ONE box per stateroom, no exceptions.
" The package must have the guest full name, ship, sailing date, stateroom number or GTY if you have not been assigned a stateroom number.
" The package also must have a packing slip attached to the outside of the box that details the contents of the package. For prescriptions, a copy of the prescription is sufficient. Your list may or may not be read but it must have one. Write packing slip on the outside of the envelope.
" NO FOODS/DRINKS OF ANY KIND, LIQUOR OF ANY KIND, FIREARMS, ETC.. Items that cannot be shipped to the Disney Cruise Line Warehouse and delivered to the ship include: food products (any and all food products including baby food/formula), beverages (liquor, water, etc.), chemicals, and luggage. These items will not be accepted at the warehouse and will be returned. This may cause the dogs to hit on your box and that would be a bad thing.
" The required size of the cartons you are shipping down have to be about the size of a record storage box 12 inches on a side and should not weigh more than 20 lbs. (This has been asked personally by Dave Adams who is the owner)

Address your package(s) to:
Disney Cruise Line Warehouse
Guest Name / Stateroom # (GTY, if you don't know what it is when you send the package)
8633 Transport Drive
Orlando, FL 32832
Phone: 407-566-8196

In the bottom left corner of the top of the package put the following information: ATTN: HOUSEKEEPING
*Name
*Sail Date
*Ship
*Stateroom Number
*Packing slip that details contents of the package (for prescriptions, a copy of the prescription is sufficient)
" Packages must arrive by Friday by 3:00pm for the 7-Night Cruise on the Disney Dream (Saturday).
" Packages must arrive by Friday by 3:00pm for the 4-Night Cruise on the Disney Dream (Sunday).
" Packages must arrive by Wednesday by 3:00pm for the 3-Night Cruise on the Disney Dream (Thursday).

If your box is hit on by the screening dog or chosen for additional screening they will open the list and the box and look through it. They will close it back up and provided nothing bad is in it then it will be in your room as usual later after boarding. These boxes will be coming on the ship with the crew mail among other things so they may be in the staterooms later then they were before as they are low priority in the scheme of things for Disney.
