Hi Jennifer & Sara,
Loved the show, can you get more info on the plastic id braclets, like a website? I tried to google it with no luck. Love the podcats, keep up the good work!

buzzmom2 on March 4, 2010 @ 11:42 am

I have used the following site to order custom bracelets for my boys because there is no minimum order. Other sites tend to require at least a 100 bracelet order. Make your own Lazer-made Wristbands, Order Custom Silicone Wristbands

Good luck with your Disney plans!
Kindly,
Keely

Keely,
Thank you so much!! My boys will love picking out their own bracelet & I will feel so much better.:smirk:

buzzmom2 on March 4, 2010 @ 2:04 pm

I love Keely Hutton's chicken fingers story. LOL!

bearofmcc on March 4, 2010 @ 4:41 pm

There was a question about where to stay the day before the Disney Cruise. While the Hyatt is a good idea, it can be expensive. You can also stay at one of the Disney Resorts. There are certain Disney Resorts that the Port Canaveral Disney Bus will pick up from. For example, I am staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge and they will pick us up from there and take us to the port.
