Traveling Turkeys 2010

[Disney Fans]

All of those things are possible! Anything you want....You can use any of your pictures that are taken by the DCL photographers (with Mickey, or just with your family) and they have about 5 or 6 christmas card styles that you can choose from. The only thing we noticed is that certain card styles are for horizontal pics and certain styles are for vertical pics, so if you like a certain design that is meant for a vertical picture, but the picture you want to use is horizontal, you may have to change one or the other. That happened to us last time. Did that make sense?

The most popular are the ones by the big christmas tree in the lobby especially on formal night! The lines for that on formal night can get VERY long!

Thanks!!

If I get the chance I will scan some of our older ones in. But Michelle2 covered it all.

Thanks! That would be great to see!

As far as Christmas cards go... we pack Santa hats. Our favortie pic was in front of the snowpeople on Castaway Cay. We also took one with the ship behind us from the beach. It summed up our vacation- the good life on the beach during the holidays.

We have received our docs and now, with the trip just less than a month away, the family is getting excited! The storm season is ending so all should be great for a fun time.

Had a positive response for traveling turkey t-shirts. People indicated a fall color instead of a bright one. The design doesn't show well up against the brown or orange because there isn't enough of a contrast. Below are some other options. I like the gold because it stands out but we will go with a group decision.

The shirt will run $15. They are the standard Hanes Beefy-T's. Standard sizes are available.
Youth (S,M,L,XL) and Adult (S,M,L,XL,XXL,XXXL)

We need to order at least 10 to keep the price at $15. The deadline to order is Nov. 1 so I can order the shirts and get them delivered to you by USPS before you leave for the cruise. It takes about a week to get the shirts printed up and delivered to me. Late orders will be hard to handle so please get your orders in on time.

You can post your vote and order on the thread, pm me or by email (suzmeister@juno.com). The final color choice will be based on the majority vote. I will post an order list with the final color choice on Nov. 1st before I submit it to the t-shirt place.

I'll take 4 gold please.
Youth (L) and Adult (S,XL,XXL)
Not sure what DD will wear so I'll order 2 for her. She's very thin (getting thinner with the tonsil op) She's 5'1 but only 80 lbs. Then someone will get a FE from the one that doesn't fit.
Do you have a paypal account? If you did, we could give you the money right away. If not, I'd like to send you a check and a pre-paid Priority Shipping Box so we can have them before the trip.

Need to buy larger suitcase

Thanks for the heads up on photo direction! Your a stress saver! I'm sure I too would be the one with the directionally challenged opportunity
How long is long? Are we talkin Drum stick in Frontier Land or Splash Mountain in July long?
If I get the CD will there still be a discount on the cards?
I've looked to see if they have larger than 8x10 on line. I thought I would need to purchase the CD to get a larger print to have it blown-up. I have a wall at home that looks better with larger pictures.

I would say that long would be about 45 minutes to an hour at the christmas tree on formal night. It gets bad if you are there waiting and waiting when your dinner time is coming up, thinking that you have plenty of time and the line just doesn't move.... The problem I have seen is that groups take up WAY too much time. They have the whole family, and then couples, and then each child individually and then just the kids together, then kids with grandparents, etc etc. There was one time I waiting in the line and seriously did not move much in 20-30 minutes so we just left. Make sure to plan plenty of time just in case. But then I say this, and then it won't be like that LOL! Take it with a grain of salt, but be prepared just in case if you want it by the christmas tree.

I think that they do offer the christmas card discount with the CD, afterall it about costs as much as the packages....

What a great picture! I love it!

Those are beautiful, and such great color schemes you picked out, I can't make up my mind which one I like best because I like them all!!

I think that I like pebble or Nugget the best, leaning towards pebble if I have to vote on just one. Do we all have to vote on just one color for all? The good thing is, they are all such great colors that I will be happy with whatever the majority chooses if we have to choose one. But I do vote for pebble....no maybe nugget LOL

Are the adult sizes men's sizes? Are they 100 percent cotton so they will shrink a little?

We love the shirts! DW votes for Pebble. We will be ordering 11 as soon as we get the sizes right.

Fantastic work! Thanks

Yesterday we drove home from my DD's tonsil extraction and I found a note on front door that we missed FedX. I'm glad that I was home today, because we got something from Disney. I haven't had time to look at it but looks like our luggage tags are here and there may be some kind of card I think to hand out to family.

Hope that dd heals quickly. Several of mine had them out and they all did much better with throat and ear infections afterwards.

The only thing we noticed is that certain card styles are for horizontal pics and certain styles are for vertical pics, so if you like a certain design that is meant for a vertical picture, but the picture you want to use is horizontal, you may have to change one or the other. That happened to us last time. Did that make sense?

That happened to us too It seems to me they haven't really added any new or exciting designs lately either lol.

As far as Christmas cards go... we pack Santa hats. Our favortie pic was in front of the snowpeople on Castaway Cay. We also took one with the ship behind us from the beach. It summed up our vacation- the good life on the beach during the holidays.

My favorite too Only we haven't done it with Santa hats, now I might just steal your idea.

Adorable!

I'm in for 8, would prefer pebble or gold. Need to figure out sizes.

Do you have a paypal account? If you did, we could give you the money right away.

Wondering same thing here, can happily pay pal or let me know how we need to pay for shipping Would love to have them to wear for embarkation.


Been an incredibly busy week here, we've got stitches, dd has both arms casted, broken toes, impacted teeth extracted, blah blah blah. Way behind and can't wait for this cruise to totally relax. We really aren't going to be doing much in the way of excursions or plans.

The shirts are the typical t-shirts you find ordered by organizations and stores. I have had a few Hanes Beefy-T's and not at lot of problems with shrinkage. The sizes are unisex.

I will update the FE list to add your info. I have gotten everything from candy to keychains, craft projects to anything Disney. You can do as much or as little as you want. One night, special nights like Pirates or Thanksgiving to everyday. It is totally up to you.

 

[HerrQSmee]

Jeanne,
Tried to pm you but your pm box is full. I will make the changes to the FE list- sorry for the typos. Must have been tired that day! And you are totally not driving me nuts!

Yeah....
Fish extenders are fun. We have received pens, highlighters, candy, stickers, door magnets, glow sticks, scrapbooking materials, cards, ...to name a few. Some people leave one item per cabin, others leave for the Disney Children, others give a couple of small gifts during the week... it just depends on what makes you happy... Remember you need a FE outside your door....to collect your gifts.....
