That is such an outstanding idea! I wonder if I could somehow find a disney decal to iron on to the pillowcase. Or some sort of disney patch? Any ideas about that? Maybe a fabric store would have something? Don't they make a pillowcase at the clubs one night though? I guess you can never have too many pillow cases!

Just had a thought, I think you can take a photo to kinkos and have them turn it into an iron on decal. Maybe I will take a picture of each of the kids in and put that on the pillow case before we go. I have some cute pictures of my son and the characters from our Jan trip to WDW. Hmmmmm. I will just add that to my giant to do list I guess.

inamoose, perhaps you could consult my vacation binder i 3-hole punched all the stuff i've printed out/copied from here plus other sites, etc so i know what I'm supposed to be doing! at least according to us "freaks" here on DIS! i have my over the door shoe holder, my collapsable cooler, my 87 cent ponchos from walmart...i'm sure i will forget something simple, like money

Looks like everyone is getting ready. We have to take a weekend trip to the world so the kids can get their fix( and DW). The kids are not too happy with us going and them not, they will get their turn in Sept. Me and DW need a little time to ourselves. However without the kids to chase after I'm not looking forward to the spa bill at the end.

Joshua4 - That is a GREAT idea about the decals from Kinkos. I was maybe thinking of buying a DCL patch and sewing it on the pillowcase? The pillowcases that I bought have a huge "boarder" on the open side. I thought of using the permanent markers to write each child's name in the boarder. That way, they know whose is whose.

Yes, they do have the pillowcase activity - forgot about that, but like you said, you can never have too many pillowcases We also ordered the Magical Dreams package from Magical Treasures - yet another pillowcase !!!

I was thinking of getting a t-shirt to give to Courtney so all her friends from the club could sign it - that would be a nice souvenior too. I would buy the shirt on board, though so it would have the DCL on it.

rcostello1 -- where did you find the over the door shoe hanger? I just found one at Bed Bath and Beyond -- but it was $14 and I have to believe I can find something cheaper. Also, rain ponchos, good idea!

I too have a collection of print outs from this site (where to go on the various islands, what time to make reservations, how to deal with luggage drop off, etc.) The notebook is not a bad idea as I just have all of these jammed in a file folder.

LOVETHATMOUSE --Not sure what you mean by a border -- is it a pattern of some sort on the pillowcase? I am going to try to get to a fabric store tonight because some one here told me that you can buy special paper and print out the image on a color printer and then iron it right on the pillow case. (and can also pick up some green ribbon at the same time) That would be pretty easy I think. If I do that then I can just type the kids names under the picture before I print it on the decal in a cool font. I can also put something like "Disney Magic 2002" on that. What a fun project. Will let you know how it goes and if it is as easy as I think it will be. Looking for pillowcases today at lunch.

joshua4 - I got my shoe hanger at Target of a whopping $7.00!! That is where I got the pillowcase too (2 in a pack for $5.00). Let me know how the decals go. There is not border, it's hard to explain. Maybe a better explanation is like in curtains you have two spaces to put a rod through. The space inbetween is the "border" I guess that is not a great explanation. When you see the pillowcases, you might have a better idea of what I am talking about.

 

[joshua4]

Were they cotton pillowcases for that price? My DS is picky about his pillows so I need to find 100% cotton cases for him. I checked our target and they did not have the shoe holders other than cloth ones that were more than $14.

 

[rcostello1]

I got my thing at Target too. I think it was $5 or $6. Nice and compact!

 

[rcostello1]

I called DCL to find out how full the ship is for our sailing. They said 96% full. If you do the math that could mean only 35 rooms free. I only saw 22 rooms free on priceline last night.

Guess it'll be a big, happy party!!

 

[LOVETHATMOUSE]

My shoe thing is plastic, not cloth. And yes the pillowcases are cotton. They were on sale - I should have bought more. I picked up white ones. I have one laundry pen, but might head out to Joannes Fabric and pick up colored pens. I am sure they will have them. Might make the pillowcase more interesting.

96% full!!!???!! Rcostello1 - looks like we are "stuck" with the cats we were guaranteed - although I would take anything, even the engine room LOL.

 

[rcostello1]

I would love to be higher on the ship, last time we got deck 6, room 6008. I like rocking back and forth and my sister (here's something you should not try at home) almost fell over while walking across the room and looking out the porthole at the water while the ship is moving. *Don't combine those things* It's just a bad idea! hehehe

Anyway, deck 1 will do for me. Maybe one day when I'm not a CM I will get a verandah...or if I save up my DVC points (the more likely scenario).

Are we there yet?

Very productive lunch errands -- I found that special paper at a fabric store in the quilting section, so my pillows will have the kids pictures on them with their names as well. Also found the shoe thing at walmart for $5 (so the $14 is going back this weekend).

Will look for the pillow cases at Target tonight -- hopefully they are still on sale!

 

[peter pans family]

rcostello, please tell me the boat was not rocking as much as it sounded in your previous posting!!! I've convinced my very seasick prone husband that he'll barely feel anything....yikes...I don't think I'll let him read your posting...lol
How noticeable is the movement? Thanks

 

[rcostello1]

joshua4 you are sure crafty. i'm doing my best just to get packed!

peter pans family - it wasn't really that rocky. it was kinda of subtle...something to rock you so sleep When you get off the ship you do still feel like you're moving even though you're not. I thought it was fun!

Just don't walk and watch the water at the same time, at least not the way my sister did. Your legs go one direction and your eyes and mind head another...

 

[peter pans family]

rcostello, thanks for the info. Has anyone done the surial bath? If so was it good?

 

[imamoose]

ok, how about as we start sailing out of the port...great place to wave goodbye from...deck 8 all the way to the back...right side....maybe we can get a little food and beverages delivered and you old time experts can give a newbie like me some pointers... never wanted to grow a week older so bad in my life....we are a disneyland experienced family...over 40 times...I have personally been over 250 times...just can't seem to get enough...but have never been on the cruise or to Disneyworld. We are spending 10 days at the grand floridian after the cruise...don't think I will ever want to go home....kids think I should be commited... and most on the boat will too by the end....wooooo hoooooo.......................................

 

[imamoose]

hey whata ya know...looks like I got that one right.....I'm learning...I'm learning.......
