Over the past few cruises my wife and I have gotten involved in making t-shirts, magnets, and fish extenders. This year I am heading one of the groups of cruisers for each of the 2 cruises. I like to make unique things, and don’t like to have something that others have. This year I have designed a one of a kind picture for the t-shirts. Everyone has said that they like the design, and that is good.
What I have done is taken some stock graphics, and scanned them into my software with my Brother MFC 7420 all in one. I use Corel Paint Shop Pro, and find that this is one of the easiest graphic software titles that are available. Next I do some creative erasing, cleaning, morphing, and mixing with other photos. I do the same thing to make my stateroom magnets. The finished product is almost Disney quality. Being I don’t sell the t-shirts for profit I am pretty well set with not getting in any trouble with Disney.
have you ever made a t-shirt, or something that you have designed your own graphic? What software do you use?
On our last 2 cruises Disney had changed over to a new product that was left in the staterooms. They changed to H2O Plus Spa bath and shower products. Wife was rather impressed with the product, and wanted more. We later found out that it was also being used at the Disney World Resort. Our little one likes them because they smell, and work well. Our little one had her acne problem go away for a while when she used them continuous, but I don’t think that it had anything to do with the product. She uses them all the time and claims that because she uses them on her body that they help out by becoming a body acne wash. Sometimes kids can be so naive.
Here is the original press release about this.
CELEBRATION, Fla. — Disney Cruise Line guests can absorb the enriching benefits of the ocean while sailing on the high seas. The cruise line is offering H2O Plus Spa bath and shower products to all 877 guest accommodations on the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder. These high-end products, derived from marine botanicals, bring a piece of the ocean into every stateroom.
The high-quality, water-based H2O Plus products stocked on the Disney Cruise Line ships include Sea Marine Revitalizing Shampoo, Marine Collagen Conditioner and Hydrating Body Butter from the H2O Plus premium Spa line — all in uniquely designed, co-branded bottles. Guests staying in concierge-level suites will find additional H20 Plus offerings such as Sea Salt Body Wash and Solar Relief Gel.
The family-friendly staterooms onboard both the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder also feature Sealy Posturepedic Premium Plush Euro-top mattresses, pillows and Frette 300 thread-count, 100 percent Egyptian cotton linens. In addition, larger, more luxurious bath towels and bath sheets are available in all stateroom bathrooms.
In all concierge-level suites, there are comfortable duvets and a “Pillow Talk” program which allows concierge guests to choose from a selection of hypo-allergenic, feather and therapeutic memory foam pillow options.
Sea-derived skincare innovator H2O Plus, L.P. has been making a splash in the specialty global retail market with an array of skincare, spa, bath and shower and color cosmetics products for the last 16 years. The company’s entrepreneurial founder and creative director, Cindy Melk, has grown H2O Plus from a concept of water-based, sea-derived formulations to an internationally recognized branded company.
A leader in the family cruise segment, Disney Cruise Line delivers a cruise experience that every member of the family feels was created for their own individual vacation wants and needs.
Departing from Port Canaveral, Fla., Disney Cruise Line offers three-, four- and seven-night itineraries to The Bahamas and the Caribbean. Land/sea vacation packages that include a stay at Walt Disney World Resort are also available.
Well, the Disney Dream is now running her trials in the North Sea, and in just a matter of weeks she will be in Port Canaveral, FL. filling herself with passengers for her maiden voyage once Disney gets the keys to her on December 9. I am getting more excited by the day, and my little brother “L” picks on me because I continually remind him of the exact amount of days before we sail just by looking at my Android phone. Here is a short video of the Dream sailing on her own power.
And for those that didn’t see the “Float Out” here is your chance.
And if you like that, then here is one of her sailing to sea.
The Disney Dream is getting closer to a full reality, and I am very anxious about going away for 2 cruises on her. Here is a video showing the Sorcerer Mickey piece for the back of the ship.
I have been on both the Disney Magic, and the Disney Wonder. Both cruises were spectacular. The best of all was the 7 Night Western Caribbean Cruise. We are not taking a 7 night cruise this time… Well, actually we are, but it is spread out over 2 cruises Back To Back. We did this because the Disney Dream isn’t doing a 7 night cruise when we wanted to cruise, so we are doing a 3 night, and then a 4 night.
Here is some information that I received…
Disney Dream’s Spectacles Designed to Take Cruise Ship Family Entertainment to New Heights
CELEBRATION, Fla. (Oct. 26, 2010) – Talk about elevating cruise ship entertainment to new heights: A little mermaid soars over the stage in a stunning aerial ballet … Pirates rappel from atop the ship’s funnel during a swashbuckling adventure … The evening sky lights up with a dazzling spectacle of sound and color.
When the Disney Dream sets sail in January 2011, Disney Cruise Line is more than just raising the bar with entertainment designed to charm and bedazzle the entire family. Guests will delight to some of the most elaborate original musicals presented at sea, over-the-top deck parties and, bursting above it all, the largest fireworks spectacular aboard a cruise ship.
It’s Show Time!
Every night is show time at Walt Disney Theatre, an elegant, 1,340-seat entertainment palace that is at once classic and ultra-modern. Spanning three decks with orchestra and balcony seating, the theater is resplendent with art deco styling recalling luxurious show places of a bygone time. At the same time, it is equipped with theatrical technology that makes it one of the most advanced venues on land or sea, allowing producers to bring original productions and Disney stories to life in a whole new way. The lineup of musicals presented at Walt Disney Theatre includes:
“Disney’s Believe”
Headlining the musical repertoire is “Disney’s Believe,” an original stage spectacular premiering aboard the Disney Dream. Combining a heartfelt story with a captivating musical score, the lavish production tells the story of a workaholic father who, through the power of Disney magic, reconnects with his daughter and learns a valuable lesson about what is important in life. More than 20 of Disney’s most beloved characters take the stage during “Disney’s Believe,” including Cinderella, Peter Pan, Mary Poppins and Belle from “Beauty and The Beast.”
‘The Golden Mickeys’: A Timeless Tribute
“The Golden Mickeys,” an award-style show celebrating the musical heritage of Disney animated films, is a Disney Cruise Line guest favorite. On the Disney Dream, the show gets an extra sprinkle of glitz and glamour with new production numbers including an aerial ballet featuring Ariel from “The Little Mermaid” and a romantic duet performed by Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, lead characters of Disney’s newest animated feature, “Tangled.”
‘Villains Tonight!’
The malevolent world of the Disney villains takes a comical spin in “Villains Tonight!,” the first full-scale musical production dedicated to the Disney villains. The show is a fun-filled musical comedy starring Hades (“Hercules”), who embarks on a quest filled with wacky antics and amusing musical numbers to bring evil back into the Underworld. “Villains Tonight!” features a “Who’s Who” of Disney “baddies,” including Ursula (“The Little Mermaid”), the Evil Queen (“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”), Captain Hook (“Peter Pan”) and Scar (“The Lion King”).
Party on Deck
The Disney Dream transforms into a pirate ship with two new events brimming with buccaneer fun and a new fireworks spectacular. The evening kicks off with “Mickey’s Pirates IN the Caribbean,” a family-friendly interactive show featuring the famous Disney characters. Then, a special appearance by Captain Jack Sparrow, from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, kicks off “Club Pirate,” a high-tech, open-air dance party on the upper decks of the ship. Guests unleash their inner pirate and dance their boots off during this family-friendly and electrifying bash featuring stunning visuals and special effects.
Fireworks at Sea
The only cruise line to feature fireworks at sea, Disney Cruise Line ups the entertainment ante and lights up the sky with the largest fireworks extravaganza presented aboard a cruise ship. The skies above the Disney Dream explode with brilliant colors during “Buccaneer Blast!” With more “bang” than ever before, the pyrotechnic spectacular is choreographed to a dramatic score featuring songs from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, Peter Pan and the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at the Disney theme parks.
