Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[DutchsMommy]

Hey Tonya - have you seen the designs from ladylucca on the dda forum? They are amazing! Just an FYI.

 

[favoriteslave]

I've seen some of them before, do you have a link?

 

[DutchsMommy]

Here's the link to her site. It seems like she is really willing to modify/personalize etc etc. Anyway, I have NO IDEA but am planning on taking a bit of time to try and figure out how to get some of the pics 'cause I think they would make great shirts for during the day on the cruise - esp. for DS.

The meeting was on Friday 3/10 at the Anaheim Pond. It's the first meeting we've gone to because they are usually too far for us to attend. But since it was local, we went. Only my son went with, because he is a Disney fanatic. We got there pretty early, so we got to sit behind all the Big Wigs of Disney. It was actually pretty entertaining, except for the financial portion . They also gave out free admission tickets to Disneyland or California Adventures, which is nice, but we have AP's, so I'll probably give it away. They also had tons of characters & I was mad I didn't bring the autograph books.

My son was in awe that he got to meet an actual Disney (Roy). His life is now complete .

If it's ever in your area, I'd definately take the kids. It's a great learning experience & was pretty fun.

That sounds really cool! I doubt they will ever have one in Boise Idaho though! LOL

Oh, and about the shirts, whatever you guys come up with will be fine with me....just let me know. I like the idea of lime green too.
And I have also used the designs from the great people over on the design board to do our door magnets too! I do not know how to do any of the customization stuff, so I just printed out the ones they already had. I also did our matching shirts from the design board too...it was awesome!

I know I am overdue with these, but just wanted to post a few pictures in case anyone was interested....
Tokyo Disney Sea:

This was a Little Mermaid themed area with mostly kiddie rides inside...it was pretty cool inside, like being under the sea.

This display would be impossible in the American parks...glass pots just sitting there?

This pic is taken from the main area looking towards the entrance of the park and the Hotel Mira Costa

Mount Promethius from the entrance of the park

The main entrance of the park. The general admission goes under the hotel in the right side of the picture, while the Mira Costa guests entered under the bay window in the center.

Ceiling of the hotel...everything was in a nautical italian style??If that makes any sense?

DH and I in the main lobby

This area (Mysterious Island) was really cool, modeled after the works of Jules Verne.

Looks like Tower of Terror is almost done. It is expected to open in September. Sorry the picture is slightly crooked.

This was the line up at the main gates of Disney Sea 3 hours before the park opened....no, I was not to be one of them

Some pictures of the monorails...

Hi everyone

Welcome cruisemutt and woogal. I feel like I have been away for ever but DS had exams this week so we have been busy with the books and since he studies I study, I feel ,like I am in the 6th grade again also.

We made some reservations for our Alaskan cruise today so at least I ahve that in between to cut the time wait some.
And I do believe I have DH convinced that a quick trip to the mouse in June would be most acceptable, good thing since I booked Discovery Cove months ago

I am off to pick up crawfish for dinner, gotta love Fridays in lent down south.

Hi Woogal and Bill!

Welcome aboard. I have added your names to....."THE LIST" and we now total at least 53 adults and 41 kids. Could be a few off as I'm not sure if I have the number of friends/family from DixieLady correct. I show Denise and 8 others but I think that has changed

Someone mentioned Wild Turkeys as our group name. Got me thinkin' of the saying "Jive Turkey" from the 70s days but I guess I'm showing my age.

HAPPY LAST WEEKEND OF WINTER EVERYONE! Good riddance.

 

[woogal]

Did anyone else see the Disney Cruise special on the Travel Channel? We taped then watched it, every scene one of us yelled "I saw that!" "I was there!"

My god ... we're obsessed ...

Don't worry ... new episodes of "Lost" start next week so we can obsess about something else for a while ...

Lynn

 

[disneediva]

Lynn,
I am sailing with my DH, DS12 and his friend also 12. Congrats on the new baby how much fun getting a babies room ready. What is your theme? Well good news here the contractors only have a week left on the inside of the house then they can start on the outside. They need to fix these problems before the next hurricane season starts.
Wendy

 

[TIGGER41681]

Wendy,
Our Theme for the baby's room is Winnie the Pooh. I Love Winnie the Pooh and Tigger!! Hopeful my son will. When does Hurricane season start for you?? Is all the repairs on your house from Hurricane Katrina??
Lynn

 

[disneediva]

Lynn,
June 1st starts hurricane season for us. and yes all the work is due to Katrina we live in Jefferson Parish and our home flooded. I bet the Winnie the Pooh is adorable is it the one that is in the neutral tones? I am sure your som will love his room. My sons was Mickey when he was born and now he is as disney obsessed as his mom.

Welcome Lyn and family,
It is good our family of diser's is still growing.
Good luck with the baby's room. I am decorating one of our guest rooms in a disney theme. But I am using lot of characters instead of just one. It is a lot of fun.
well we had a good, busy weekend getting ready to move next week. Now I am tired and I am going to get some rest.
Hope everyone is doing well out there.

Morning all!



Tonya is totally correct about them having to create a new screen for an individual's name - $$$. Dutchsmommy, what most people did (as we've discussed) was once they received their shirts in the mail, they doctored them to their liking. For example, the weren't able to get youth sizes (maybe smaller than L, XL - don't exactly remember, slept since then.), so they made a dress out of the oversized tshirt. It was really cute. The sleeves and along the bottom were cut into small strips w/ beads on the end. Tonya & Pam, correct me if I'm wrong, but she was also the one that had Tinkerbell wings on the back as well.

Hope everyone is well!
Trey

I don't rermember about the tinkerbell, but I do think that a few females (esp teens) had modified their shirts. Pam

So it sounds like you already have quite a group put together. This is our 2nd DC, the first was last November 2005 over Thanksgiving with my entire family (12 people in all, from 7 to 70). This new one is my 40th birthday present from Hubby and also to celebrate our 10th anniversary. So, just like all of you, we are going pretty much crazy waiting for this damn day to arrive! Our house is inundated with DCL stuff ... books, tapes, DVDs, bookmarks on our favorites ... and we don't even have kids! But you have never been treated as well as you are on DCL!

We were on that cruise as well. There is another DIS member (besides Tanya and Trey) from the Thanksgiving Cruise last year going on this cruise, but he is pretty quiet, so you probably wouldn't have noticed him on the last cruise..... Pam
