DIS Boards Shopping Addiction

[marathonmommy]

Okay,
I'm really starting to worry about myself. It seems that I am jumping on many DIS Board bandwagons and am buying every possible item that is raved about in hopes of making my WDW life even more enjoyable. This trip better come sooner rather than later, or I will be broke! (As if I won't go broke while at WDW!) So far, I have bought:

Crocs (got my first pair in April and now have 3 pairs): Last pair with free shipping at Dick's Sporting Goods

************ Bottles: One free bottle - bought the family pack

Video Now Discs (for the plane) - some on clearance

Baggalini Messenger Bag - used a discount code and paid about $12 less

Glow Necklaces (luckily, from Dollar Tree)

I'm sure there may even be more . . . are there any other addicts out there? I very well may need a support group! :confused3

[sleepycor]

Yes I pretty much did the same

Croc Athens :cloud9:
Body Glide
Coppertone Continuous Spray
Misty Mates Cool Blast

The more I look at the boards.. the more I buy online!
However.. I think they are all worth it! :thumbsup2

[sleepycor]

and looks like you are going sooner than me! :rotfl:

[marathonmommy]

and looks like you are going sooner than me! :rotfl:
Oooh...what are Misty Mates Cool Blasts? Are they a type of spray fan or something?

[dizfam4]

Oh you betcha! I have been collecting Dis vacation stuff for too long now. Most of this stuff has been purchased since our last tip in fall of 2005.

Moleskin (never even heard of this until the DisBoards!)
Brita refillable bottles
tons of plane activities for kids (I seriously don't think we have room for it all!)
Lime Mickey heads from Home Depot
Merrell sandals
glow stuff for parades
mini-stuffed animals for resort decorating
Coppertone Sport Spray
Misting fans, handheld fans
2 new strollers
messenger bag
new backpack
Crocs (I prefer my new Merrells for now though)
Fat autograph pens
Cute PJs and outifts for kids with all Disney characters
Disney tennis shoes for DD (Cinderella)
disposable cameras

Still need to buy Bodyglide.

Somebody stop me! :lmao:

[thunderbird1]

at the support group meetings. So far it's just the baggallini messenger bag and the crocs, but I did end up buying crocs for the whole family (4 of us). If we don't leave soon, I'll have spent all the money we saved on free dining!

[Jennick]

I got it bad too! I find I have been starting most my sentences these days with "Well on the DISboards this or I read on the DISboards "...lol
I have gotten the best suggestions and tips from the friendliest people here.
Too bad we couldn't come up with some sort of WDW "survival" kit, with all these items in it (since we all run out and buy it all anyway :rotfl2: )

[sleepycor]

Oooh...what are Misty Mates Cool Blasts? Are they a type of spray fan or something?

i actually just ordered them today.. i saw it from another thread
its sprays without the fans.. we didnt use the fan much during our last trip.. they were actually in the way!! lol so i thought these would work better for us :sunny:

Well it seems that this thread has had the opposite effect: I'm using everyone's list to make a list of my own :rotfl: I'm still trying to find a store that sells the water bottles with the filter in them. So if you know where I can find them, please let me know.

Ok - back to listing what you've bought . . . :listen:

I got them online here at http://www.************.com/
I just bought the filters, because you can screw them into any water bottle. YAY!

[Glendamax]

Thanks Sue!!!! :thumbsup2

[disneynewbeemom]

What is bodyglide?

[ssleblanc]

I can totally relate!!!

So far, due to threads here I've purchased (or plan to purchase in the case of the food type stuff):

*crocs (3 pairs - one beach, one flip flop, and one mary janes)
*Baggallini Messenger bag (and if you add in the new luggage set I bought on clearance when I went online to buy the baggallini, that increases the extra $$ spent a LOT - but I justified it that I'm still using luggage I got when I got married when the "wheeled" luggage was 4 little casters on the bottom with a "leash" - and it is useless, it was time for new luggage, right?)
*a large supply of gallon & 2 gallon ziplock bags
*pal Mickey purchased from ebay (probably wouldn't have spent the near $70 on site, so knowing about it in advanced and being able to buy it cheaper ahead of time meant I bought something I wouldn't have bought otherwise).
*a BUNCH of pins, again - through ebay - but this is saving me money, right?? (go with me here)
*blister bandaids
*Passporter book (spiral bound)
*glowsticks from Dollar Tree (again, about "saving money")
*a large stack of Dollar Tree ponchos
*over-the-door hanging shoe organizer (to neatly organize our bathroom stuff)
*clothespins (don't remember WHY I needed these, but read a tip involving them, guess I should go back and read to remember why I bought them before my trip :lmao: )
*crystal light/koolaid singles
*earplanes for my kids
*small Downy wrinkle releaser spray bottle
*water bottle filters (still looking for this)
*clickable sharpies

I also recommend the ************ water filter bottles. I have some they are very handy. Much better than buying bottled water all the time.

Also, make sure you check out their "BIO" bottle. It even filters bacteria!! Perfect if your kids go camping or hiking, you can just drink water from a lake or stream.

For the water bottle filters, Check out Pure Water 2GO

They have many different sizes and styles. They also have a "family pack" where you get a free bottle and filter.

Yesterday I bought me a pair of NB tennis shoes. Bought DH and myself a pair of Keen's (salesman said these give better support than teva's), some Body Glide and a tube of Ben Gay vanishing scent gel for any sore feet we may get. This is "tax free weekend" here in NC, so I couldn't resist.

[coolbeans]

Okay..I'm the worst, and we aren't going for.... oh two years!!
1. Crocs (Carolina Blue)
2. Bagallini (in Red, so I can use it at the Nascar race in October, Go Dale!!)
3. Logo tees off of Disneyshopping.com (they were only $3.99 each!!)
4. Carabiner fans from Wal-Mart (hey, they were lime green :thumbsup2 )
5. M&M containers for pennies and quarters (DD volunteered to eat the
M&M's)
6. E-bay is my friend, lots of pins to trade (if they stop pin trading in the
next two years I'm in BIG trouble!)
7. Autograph books (from Disney Merchandise services)

We already have the misting fan from our last trip to Disney, and our pin trading lanyards. I'm also starting to buy Disney Dollar's when I make it to the Disney Store (45 minute drive)

[dopeynme]

OK, I need the support group, too! I have bought:
Keen's Newports
earplanes
Tour Guide Mike membership (withMousesaver's discount)
travel size Tide
Travel size wrinkle releaser
bodyglide
baggalini bag
cooling wraps (crafty wench dot com)
mini misting fans
Ben Gay vanishing scent
lime green Mickey heads

Planning to order a case of water for delivery to the resort, too. But as you say, many of these are SAVING money!!!!!! :guilty:

[Laurajean1014]

Wow. I'm just the opposite. I don't buy Crocs, lime stuff, body glide (silicone for skin), and misters. They just don't blend into my buying or vacationing plans.

[100 acre wood]

WELL, maybe yall can help me before it is too late for me!!! So far, I have only gotten a pair of Croc flip flops and this last winter after hearing about the single serving drink pouches that are added to water, those too. so only two things for me...Hi, my name is Minnie, and I am a Dis shopping aholic! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[Glendamax]

Okay, I know I've got it bad when inspite of all the wonderful things I bought on sale, I'm most excited about the lime green ribbon I found to attach to my bag while at WDW :sad2:

This is too funny!!!! :rotfl: But so true. I've bought so much stuff that I never knew about because of DIS.

haha, me too!!

[reelmom]

Yes, I have a problem too. My husband is threatening to ban me from DISboards. I have bought so much stuff but isn't that half the fun of going on vacation. Keep the great tips coming.

[Mel2111]

haha, i'm the same way. but without disboards i wouldnt have found great products like ************

those kinds of things change the way you think

[Robmom]

I know, it's crazy. I actually have been away from the boards for about a year, and I came back recently and I ordered a Baggallini. Now I have to try on a pair of Crocs!

[bexplosive]

where would we be without all the kewl products from here?!?!

[Harmoniebreeze]

Hi I have been using the boards for about two months while planning our trip. I too have bought way too much stuff!

Ok so I had to register and find out ...What is with the lime mickey and lime ribbon? AM I missing something?

Hi I have been using the boards for about two months while planning our trip. I too have bought way too much stuff!

Is the official DIS color. The lime mickeys are actually Alien mickey paint cards fron the home depot paint department. They are used to identify each other at WDW and some peeople use them at Dland. The ribbon was the way it was done a few years ago befor the paint cards. If you need more info just go here (you dont have to read all the million pages) http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1101903
And I AM a shop-a-dis-holic! I have bought the following thanks to this boards
Matching shirts for DH and me
Luggage
backpack
Cool bands for the neck (lime green)
fans
eyeglass straps
crocs for dh and me
fanny pack for dh
bottle water packs
sunblock/bug repellent
new "just disney" scent in lotion and soap
and i own 17 lgmhpcs
i am still looking for body glide
and will use the rolling method of packing
along with ziploc bags

[reelmom]

My wonderful husband thinks I am crazy. He cannot understand why I check the DISboards all day long and buy everything I read about. However, today he called me and said he went by a camping store and bought us some Bodyglide for our October trip. He also mentioned that they had lime green crocs(he has no knowledge of the secret color). It might be a coincidence but I think he is sneaking in to read the Disboards.

Hi.

I have just started reading the boards and have already purchased a Overland Donner bag, and the Misty Misters from QVC. I am constantly looking for the "new" item on the board.

Thanks,
