Me too. I missed Oppelfamily's post from yesterday - this why I made extras - now I'm so glad I did!

Hi everyone,

I'm not near a computer at the moment, but what I'll do is add the two new groups to the list so that everyone's aware, and each group can mark whether they have the ability to give. Again, since the "soft" date has passed, there is no pressure to do so, so don't do it if you can't.

I'll update the group as soon as the spreadsheet is updated.

To the two new families...

Welcome to the cruise!!

We will be having a meet and greet on embarkation day aroun 4:45--during/after the sail away party.

I am having special lanyards/name badges made for the cruise. If you would like one for each person in your group, please let me know the first names of all those cruising in your group. Thanks!

You could make them cool cruise t-shirts to wear after they get the call! i have made some great Disney t-shirts with printable iron-ons!

I will be able to acommodate you guys for the FE also.

I was thinking of making them T-shirts. I like the idea of the iron-ons! Much easier than sewing

Thank you for accommodating us on the FE

I learned from one of the threads here on the DIS about AMYMICKEY who sells awesome iron-on transfers. i always get them from her now. They are WAY better than the ones sold in stores! and u can use them on colored shirts or white. the colors are super vibrant and pictures are super clear! i'm not sure if im allowed to post links, but you can google amymickey transfers and it will come up.

 

[mamiof2]

Nikisilv, would you mind giving us the names of your kids so we can personalize gifts? If you don't want to broadcast it over the internet, could you PM the names to me? Also, do they have any favorite disney characters? Oh, and do u have a room # yet? So we know where to deliver. Thanx!

Welcome to the new families. No problem for the FE. We can accommodate them.

I looked up AMYMICKEY. Her website says that she is no longer doing any Disney designs
. Thank you very much for the info though!

 

[Momto3cuties]

Nichole - Welcome!!! I can accommodate your family for most of the FE gifts we made, there is just one gift in the package I won't have enough of -
sorry

AmyMickey is not doing designs anymore, but if you google her name you will get her website where she sells iron on transfers. They are the best! We use them all the time and they hold up great. You an checkout the DISigns board for lots of designs.

We are very excited...kids still think we are taking our usual fall trip to Boca Raton. I can't wait until they realize we are not at the Palm Beach airport

Yes. but what i meant was that she sells the blank transfers for you to put thru your own printer. I just bought 20 for $40, but she sells smaller batches too. Then the disigners here on DIS have TONS of beautiful disigns that you can save to your computer, then print onto the transfer. Many provide blanks that you can add your own names. If you made it to her website, top middle says "iron-on transfer store". If you need any more help, let me know!

wont your older child read it or hear it announced at boarding time at your starting airport? Will u just tell them when u arrive in orlando? or do u have a clever way of unveiling the surprise? I LOVE doing surprises!! we have at least 7 big surprises for our kids this trip! my kids actually prefer to not know any details of our yearly vacations. they like to be surprised in the moment!

I have updated the roll call list. Next Saturday will be the final update to the roll call list, as we will be crusing on the Sept 22nd western caribbean out of Galveston the week before our Bahamas cruise.

Please check to make sure I have your info, so that I can have your lanyards prepared. I have printed the name badges--some of them are blank and the names will be written in marker as I did not receive names in time. As far as the lanyards go--I only have 60 specialized lanyards, so some people who have not given me names will be given solid colored lanyards with a name specialized name badge.

 

[Oppelfamily]

Hi YES I have plenty to share with everyone on the list I made extra stuff too! We would also like a special Lanyard I saw someone was making. Our names are Chuck Danielle and Hannah. And to the family joining with a 7 year old by the name of Emily, HANNAH is excited to meet you and have a fun time in Oceaneers Lab and the pool!!!

Thanks! You have all our names but my husbands, which is Mike. But only because I didn't mention it before

As luck would have it there is a flight leaving within minutes of ours that goes to either PBI or FLL (we've flown into both airports when we go to Boca). I am think going to Orlando is so far off their radar, as we were there for 10 days in February. We talked about going back to WDW in 2 years and staying longer because we had so much fun.

My husband is a pilot and he always gets the kids pretty ramped up to see the cockpit and meet the crew, so I am hoping my oldest will be focused on that.

I guess i should come up with a backup plan, just in case as well!
