*Sept 10th 2011 WB Transatlantic* From Spain to Space Mountain - Part 3

[birkner]

Have FUN!! We last cruised Freestyle when we had a large group who had many that did not like dressing for dinner. Worked well for our group because some of us did enjoy dressing and dining, while others were happy grabbing quick food. I did see where the Epic was cancelling several cruises later on down the road, but gave a good bit notice about it.

I don't care for NCL or freestyle cruising. Tried it twice but just not for me.

I think we could easily upload and make some, and have them shipped to our own homes by using those files. When I just went there, they were just showing a "WEEKEND SALE" again at 50% off. I am going to be away from the computer (burial is this weekend for Curt's grandfather) but I would suspect if you save those files, go to this link, upload files, then create the tshirt, you could purchase this weekend when 50% off.


Weekend Sale - Saturday & Sunday Only! 50% Off T-Shirts & Free Uploads!

Layout Options: LEFT CHEST
Look for shirt that allows you to upload your own image

Then you put the image on left chest, add full back for $5 more, and do that image on the back. Can also add your own text. I added Mickey Heads by looking around on DISigners shared files, and found several already made with our names (or searching threads) and only had to have some made with baby's name

I might just do that. Are we making white tee shirts?

Claire was not kidding when she said you are a chatty bunch. I will do my best to keep up. We booked our flights today from Baltimore to Venice (via Toronto and Frankfurt) and two nights hotel in Venice. We are cruising to Barcelona (Ruby Princes arriving 8/20/11) and then traveling around Spain for 3 weeks before returning to Barcelona for the return of the Magic. Then on to North Carolina for the birth of our third grandchild. Never a dull moment here.

Thanks to Pat, Dennis, Noel, John, Michelle, Neil, Mairlyn, John, Mandy, TotallyAngelic, Aurore, and Melonz for your words of welcome. (I hope I didn't miss anyone.)

Best regards,
Jerry

We were the same way. It was not for us, but some in our group preferred that. We've cruised NCL three times - only once was freestyle and the other two times were traditional. We prefer the traditional like we had on X and HAL.

I might just do that. Are we making white tee shirts?

I did white. I started making them, and had fun. Think I made two general cruise shirts and one pirate shirt. Times two (me and hubby). No kid sizes.

I just uploaded more files that could be usable for shirts. Can't find the postage stamp though. In the comments, I put the website of where I found the file. Tons to choose from with those websites.

The application with VistaPrint is fairly straight-forward to use. Upload your pics, place on tshirt, then arrange. Can also add your own text with 'advanced' editing.

Thanks, I will show DH tonight.

Mandy, this sounds like a much better option for printing tshirts than what I've been finding! If everyone is OK with this, then I'd suggest we just all order our own.

Thank you!! I have noted my spreadsheets.

Just want to be sure you got both our payments. Not a real big Paypal user so I wanted to be sure it all went through.

Thanks

02. If people are interested in being in the same area as other DIS'ers to send Dan (Cliffy97) a PM with Lead Passenger name, your booking number and if you are Early or Late seating. Dan was told by Disney today that this is all they need to put folks together. .

03. If you are interested in the Candy Swap, please PM Jacqueline (goofieslonglostsis).

04. If you are interested in Secret Mickey Exchange, please PM Karen (karentan).

05. If you are interest in getting a WBTA lanyard, please PM Noel (birkner). See this lanyard link for example of the previous 2010 WBTA lanyard.

Hopefully, a group of DISers will volunteer to underwrite the lanyards as they did last year so they will be free to the rest of the DISers. We already have several people offering to be part of the lanyard underwriting group. If you wish to join, please send Noel (Birkner) a PM. If we get enough members, the cost should be $10 or less per member.

06. If you are interested in a WBTA lanyard pin, please PM Noel (birkner). See this pin link for example of the previous 2010 WBTA pin.Cost will be approximately 4,5 or 5 Euros per pin.

07. If you are interested in purchasing a WBTA t-shirt printed with a variation of the cruise meet logo, Karen (Pixie_Dust_For_Me) has kindly offered to organise this for our cruise. Price will be approximately $7 per t-shirt, and sizes range from Youth XS (size 2) to Youth XL; Adult S to Adult 4XL.

08. If you are interested in participating in a Mickey Mouse Club night, please check out this Mickey Mouse club post.

09. I am thinking of organizing the same tour I did last year in Madeira. Here is the Madeira link to a PDF file that gives more information about the 2010 tour. If you are interested, please send Noel (birkner) a PM.

10. We are also going to do a Champagne Girls meet. The Champagne Girls event originated on the WBPC cruise in 2008. Women get together dressed in pink to drink champagne or non alcoholic bubbly and chat. Pictures of the first meet are in this post and pictures from the last WBTA are in this post. Please PM (Clare)Pinky166 to add you name to the list.

11. If you would like to join in the Scrapbooking Exchange, please PM Clare (Pinky166) with your name and room number. The idea is to give your fellow exchangers some scrapbooking embellishments for use in your scrapbooks after you return home! For more info check this post.

12 Join us for a Pajama breakfast on September 18 at 10:00 AM at Lumiere's. We will meet outside Lumiere's at 9:50 AM to take group pictures. If you are interested, please PM Mandy (MandyGirl) with the number in your party.
Here is the picture from the PJ breakfast on last years WBTA.

13. Sarah (TotallyAngelic) is organizing a Gibraltar Dolphin Watching Expedition if you are interested in joining. Please PM Sarah with the number in your party if you are interested.

14. Mandy (MandyGirl) is organizing a Tortola Excursion of a private day sail on a power catamaran to Jost VanDyke with Tortola Charters. Please PM Mandy with the number in your party if you are interested.

15. We hope to organize a Stateroom Tour of all the SR categories but we do yet have an organizer. Stay tuned for more details!!

16. If anyone wants to organize a postcard exchange, please feel free to start one. What we did las year is bring a postcard from where we lived and left in each other's FE. It is best to limit the number of participants no more than 25 as cost and weight to bring become an issue.

Yet ANOTHER alcohol post

I have decided this is the way to go, tell me what you think.

I am going to take 1 or 2 boxes of wine, which is a lot easier and lighter than the equivalent in bottles, plus one bottle of wine.

I figured that when the bottle is finished I can then fill it up with the wine from the box and hey presto it can then be chilled in the ice bucket

Mandy, this sounds like a much better option for printing tshirts than what I've been finding! If everyone is OK with this, then I'd suggest we just all order our own.

Karen

I'm happy to do that.

Are we just doing our own designs or are we going to do a mass design?

Mandy - Your t'shirts look great. I am just looking at vistaprint.co.uk

Hi Mel
I think it sounds like a great idea....the boxes should be ok in your luggage or are you buying them in Barcleona or Gibraltar?

Sounds like a plan .... my problem is I prefer sparkling wine and they don't do those in boxes .. at least I don't think they do. Are you going to buy your boxes in Gib?

welcome to all our new cruisers!
