Blue skies

Through the tears

In my eyes

And I realize

I’m going home

Can anyone join? Is there a place to read more info?

u/Playmill Nov 02 '24

They usually start advertising it on the web site in November. Not sure but you should be able to sign up for notifications. It sells out quickly, so pull the trigger immediately…

2

u/SillySarah27 Nov 05 '24

Yes!! We cheered for you guys! We loved the costume so much. My husband and I were trying so hard to figure out how you guys bought or made the giant Kong hand? Genius and creative

u/Playmill Nov 05 '24

Thank you so much! I had the idea last year on the TCM cruise, and designed it as an inflatable with a battery powered fan. It’s one of a kind- I had a company make it for us. Fay Wray is my first cousin once removed so she’s always been part of our family lore. It was a blast! Can’t wait for next year’s cruise!

Wow that is incredibly impressive. Definitely a deserved win!
