Wonder - January 21, 2011 The Cruise To Nowhere In Particular..

[Kidlette]

My husband and I would LOVE wristbands. We are only 2 people but our printer is fried, so we're going to get 2 mediums and 2 large's please - they're cheap, so we'll just wear which ever one's fit!!

What address should we send the self-addressed stamped envelope & payment to? Thanks!!

I also have a question. We haven't really been checking this board much (sorry, there were so many people posting that it just got to be too much to keep track of) - so - we're not sure if there is any DISboard meet on the cruise (and I don't want to read through 144 pages to find it! ). Are we doing anything like that, or, since it's such a short cruise just saying "hi" as we see each other's wrist bands?? Also - I just want to mention in case anyone is questioning - I know we haven't been actively talking on the board, but we are SO EXCITED about the FE and we are still participating!! WooHoo!!

Hi! I am the organizer for the 7 night sailing directly after this 2 night cruise, and I'd LOVE that information to get them for that group. If you wouldn't mind, would you please PM me with the company name or website link?

Thanks!!

I sent her a PM..will let you know when I hear back!

I don't know if it qualifies as a Dismeet but I said I would open my cabin after 7:30 on the 1st night for anyone who wanted to come see it - .so kind of an "open house" meet & greet I guess...

Hey! I just noticed that there are no Oct/Nov 2011 Caribbean cruises avail. On the DCL website. What's up with that! One of those is a cruise I'm booked on and have paid off!

 

[Kidlette]

I sent her a PM..will let you know when I hear back!

Thanks! If you would, could you please send me the info in a PM instead of here, please? I don't check the board too often because I am super-duper busy - but I will check for a PM because its quicker than getting caught up in reading all of the posts! Thanks a bundle!!

Are we paying for the wristbands before the cruise? If so, pm me and let me know where to send the money to for 2 - large & medium.

Still gathering names (and hoping to see if someone has that info for the company that does the Mickey head icon on the wristbands). I will have everyone send a self-addressed stamped envelope along with payment before the cruise. I'll PM everyone when we're ready to roll.... I hope to have everything in place by later this month. Thanks!

I don't know what the company is that the other person was talking about (the one who has the Disney font for wrist bands), so I did a google search and I found this website. They appear to have a "Waltograph" which is their disney version font. I don't know quality or anything else about the company, but I thought I'd share!

This is so sweet of you! I know I'll come, with a bottle of wine....and I'd love to hear about you just coming off your huge cruise! I've been reading your pretrip so it would be wonderful to sit and hear all about it !

Which ever happens, I can't wait to meet you and hear all about it!

I contacted Reminderband about artwork and I'm just going to draw it up myself in Illustrator and provide them with the file so they can custom cut it in the Disney font and with a Mickey head Now i just gotta go back and finish tallying.

Hi friends!

My parents are giving up their Cat11 GTY sometime today, so anybody want to jump in, let your TA know. It was the "bestest" deal they had at the moment ($500+), but my mom is not feeling 100%, so it had to go. We are still coming though.

See you in 79(?) days!

Just paid off our booking for this wonderful weekender! It will be our first DCL sailing and since it's so short we're bringing our toddler as well. I can't wait to see her face when she boards the ship!

We just paid in full as well! DH refuses to pay until the last minute, not wanting DCL to hold onto our money. I am glad it is finally taken care of. Doing the PIF dance!

Sorry to see your Mom fade from the voyage. I'll remind my friends who are still considering to book - that nows the time to be a "SHARK" and try and snap up a canceled cabin!!!

On another note - we just got a memo that we actually had a tiny balance due to pay off our voyage? And I had been thinking all along that our trip was already paid in full!? So - if you have a balance due and IF your TA has not reminded you - be advised the normal deadline to pay is November 7th, sunday. Or so - that is what my invoice says!

 

[captaincrash]

I've been checking it out. Now debating if I'll be booking passage while onboard the Wonder.

If I were you - I'd go ahead and plan on rebooking while aboard. It secures a good price break with cabin credit. You then place the ressie with a friendly TA who rebates some - and THIS seems to be our basic approach towards getting a fair deal with DCL! If anyone else has a better angle - please share your money saving discovery!

Can ya put us down for 2... a medium and a large PLEASE? And how shall we handle payment and such? Do you take paypal?​

Okay, lol, I had to search through several email accounts back to 2008 to find out who I ordered the bands through last time! It was www.reminderband.com and they were great. I just ran pricing through for 100 lime green bands with blue fill, 2 phrases (DIS Cruise to NeverLand on one side and January 21-23, 2010 on the other), and it came to around $95 including shipping, so that would make it about $1 per wristband and all you'd need to do is send me a self-addressed stamped envelope with your payment.

So if you are interested, post here with quantity and size... (sizing guide here: https://reminderband.com/downloads/reminderband_sizes.pdf) and I'll take a tally and get the order placed. We would need to order at least 46 to get the quantity pricing break to keep it around $1, but there is no minimum order amount so we can do a small order for a little more.
