We had a great time on our trip. It was hot the first couple of day but then it cooled down. We stayed at the Paradise Pier and loved it!

We took the red monorail into the park. A CM told us that as soon as it starts to get warm they take it off-line. That day it got up to 102.

The walk through still had a fence around it and security in front of it. He looked very bored guarding that wall.

She asked if they have their own Fairygodmother. Why yes, their Auntie Fairygoodmother makes all of their costumes.

Yes, that was us! My oldest was wearing the Christmas Belle dress and they talked to Australia Belle as they called her.
:wave2: :wave2: :wave2:

[godalejunior]

Your girls looked beautiful in their costumes. Loved the Bo Peep and Mary Poppins...I have never seen anyone with those outfits on before. Usually it is princesses.

[reyasmommy]

Mary Poppins :love:

OMG!!!!Your girls are so freaking cute!! And the dresses are fabulous!!!!

These photos with Mary Poppins are are favorite!!:thumbsup2

[reyasmommy]

Can't wait to read more popcorn::

[tinkermell]

Your girls are just adorable!!

And those have to be some of the best costumes I have ever seen!

What a wonderful Aunt you have. That Mary Poppins was like an exact replica. And so was Bo Peeps. Of course Belles was too, but those are more common to see. Did your Aunt have pics of the characters, and go from there?

Would love to see and hear more!! :love:

[poohnpigletCA]

So here is MTOT party. We went the first night and it was very crowded.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/poohnpigle/DSC02501.jpg
The evil queen was very good, a little to good. She took the girls over and showed them the table that she was making a new poison apple for Snow White. The oldest was freaked out and immediately wanted to go find Snow White to warn her.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/poohnpigle/DSC02512.jpg
When we got in line to see the princesses Snow White was there. A nice CM came down the line and let us know that they would be trading places. Our oldest asked him to go warn Snow White about the evil queen. He was very nice and went off to wan Snow White.

The youngest fell asleep. We decided to call it a night.


A few random pictures to come.

[wendylady36]

Wow! It looks like you all had an amazing time! Those costumes are absolutely adorable! I love all the character interaction your daughters had. That's cute that random tourists wanted pictures with your daughter. :rotfl:

The Mary Poppins was made out of a lace curtain panel that she found on clearance at Target. :lmao:

She looks at lots of pictures from the movies, parks, etc. She has also made them the "before" princesses. Cinderella in rags, Belle in her blue dress, and Cinderella in the pink dress the mice and birds make.
She so totally rocks. :cool1: :cool1:

Great TR! My first is coming soon. You set a high bar!

I am the designer/creator of costumes for poohnpigletCA
I actually do a lot of preparation when making costumes for "my girls". I watch the movies (a lot), I look at photos here and on micechat, I look at story books and coloring pages. I even have inspiration from the girls themselves...they give me figurines of the character in costume :)

Belle and Cinderella were made from Simplicity patterns that are now out of print, but all the others I combine patterns. I might take sleeves from one pattern, bodice from another, and skirt from another. The most patterns I've used for one costume is 5. Then I embellish: add ribbons, bows, trim, jewels, whatever it takes.

It's completely a labor of love from this fairy-good-mother!

[poohnpigletCA]

Our last day was Saturday. We ran into the park for a couple of hours and ran into..

Mary & Bert!

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/poohnpigle/DSC02527.jpg
My youngest was thrilled when Bert asked where her Mary costume was!
I told him, "Wow, that was 2 days you have a great memory."

Bert then says "I also remember when the oldest was Mary and the youngest was Snow White and we walked across the street together."

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

That was a year ago!

I could not believe that Bert remembered that a year later!

One sleepy girl heading home. I love that she made sure Jack & Sally had a good view.


The End

That Bert is amazing! What a great CM. He must really enjoy what he does to pay such close attention to the people who visit him. Though who could forget your adorable daughters and their amazing costumes?!

Is there an email that we can compliment great M's. We used to go to City Hall but they no longer let you write things down.

Anyone know how to send compliments? :confused:

[travelmel]

What marvelous, wonderful, spectacular, supercala (well, you get the picture) COSTUMES!!

I bet your DDs will remember their time with the Evil Queen! It's always the scary stuff that sticks with a person. ;)

Great TR, thanks for sharing all of your great pictures! It was really cool to see the last years Bert and Mary pics as well.

If you have the time or the energy I'd love to see any and all of your past costumes. THey look amazing!
