[lmartin2711]

I'm not sure what the record for pages is but we can't break any records with Kate gone. She would be upset to miss out on something :Pinkbounc

[lovesdumbo]

Love the Mom bag! But you just can't take Mrs Incredible off. She is my idol. Oh how I wish I could be Elastigirl! I think I might make the bag double sided with just Elasticgirl on the other side --- Super Mom!

Brendita-I was thinking the same thing about shorts. I'm at about the same level of packing-well I need to do my carry ons. How great that you'll get 2 weeks! This 9 night trip is my longest ever and I'm so excited.

Cinderumbrella - I have that clip art at work - so I will post it tomorrow for you :)

Have a great night.
Laura

[Brendita]

Brendita Did you pack any shorts? I see jeans for ds and yourself, but no shorts listed

That is the only thing that jumped out.

Deb

Maybe for DS he can wear shorts.
Me I'm to fair I burn very easy.
I'll stay with my jeans.
Thanks I knew I would forget something.

[triplefigs]

I just got a PM from Kate!!!!!!!!!

This is what she wrote.

OMG!!!!!!!! You are amazing!!!!!!!! We had a perfect day Saturday and I met Daisylove on the way back to my room so I couldn't believe that anything could make my day better - and then I came to the room and found my TOTALLY awesome surprise!!!!! We love it - Nick has not put the stuffed Mickey down that he got - my mom commented - how do they know you are a diet coke addict?!? :rotfl: Julia believes the Belle and the princesses sent it to her b/c they love her - I will report on this later - but she got to ride the teacups with Belle (again) on Saturday and then we had dinner at LTT with Minnie - so the gifts were perfect for our day!!

I had just been in the gift shop buying milk for Julia when I saw the wine glasses and thought - those are so cute - I might have to come back and get them - but there they were in my room -

I can't even begin to thank you enough!!!!!!!! You really added a ton of pixie dust to our vacation!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!

Hi all - glad to hear Kate loved the gift... it's always nice to spread some pixie dust!

I had a marathon day today - I ironed all our shirts (thank god I washed them on a different day!). I actually had to go out to Target to buy another iron right in the middle of my day - but that's another story.

All are ironed, and thankfully, all are now completed. I will post pictures as soon as I can. Here's a tip - DON'T DO THEM ALL ON ONE DAY!!!! It's too much. They came out well - used the ironing board, but put a pillowcase over a large wooden cutting board and all worked well. Don't use a pillowcase that you like - it came out kinda like Kate's table. :teeth:

Can't wait to post the pictures... DH commented that he FINALLY understands why this is addicting -- he wants to make more! I don't think there is enough Diet Coke right now!

[julia & nicks mom]

Hello!!!!

You guys all rock!!! We are having a PERFECT vacation and all the pixie dust you all have sent is DEFINATELY working!!

On Saturday we went to MK and of course Julia wanted to go see Belle's storytime - I had a plan ready to help tell Belle that she and Julia had ridden the teacups in May so Julia would not be hurt that Belle did not remember her - imagine my surprise when I walked by and it was OUR Belle!!!!!! She is no longer at Belle's storytime and I think her being there on Saturday was a TOTAL fluke!!!! During the story - she immediately saw Julia and winked at her - Julia was picked to be Chip in the story and Belle talked to her about how big she was getting and about her bracelet that Julia had given her!!!!

Belle could not do her usual meet and greet but told us to stay behind - we did and she brought us to a private area so she could hug on Julia :love:

she then told Julia - I think we should go ride our special ride together again - and off they went to ride the teacups together - I was in disbelief!!!!!! It was a magical day!!!

We returned to the resort and then I ran into Daisylove!!! That was REALLY cool - and then I got to my room

and all I can say is WOW!!!!! The gift basket was overwhelming and amazing - my kids love everything (Nick is now snuggling with his bank and Mickey) I have pictures to share when I get home!!!

Denise posted my PM and that pretty much says it all!!!

You guys are the best - I miss you all!!

BTW - could you all stop posting so I don't have to take so long to catch up!!! :rotfl:

I think there is a thread with over 20,000 posts - so we have a way to go to get the record!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crowds are pretty heavy - but with a good plan - not a problem - today was lighter and hopefully - will get better!! It is HOT HOT HOT!!!

My room is awesome - with a lakeview at WL!!!!!

I have to go to bed so we can make the opening of the MK -

THANK YOU!!!! I will talk to you all soon!!!!

Kate

[Steamboat Marti]

Glad to hear you're having a good time Kate!! Paul and I will be there Saturday and we can't wait!!! Maybe we'll bump into you!

Fall Disney Cruise Birthday

Denise, it's PERFECT! Thank you so much. Now to decide if it should go on the gold, olive or pumpkin colored shirt!

[tinker1bell]

Denise, it's PERFECT! Thank you so much. Now to decide if it should go on the gold, olive or pumpkin colored shirt!


definately the gold color,,,,

[disneyeveryyear]

TRIPLEFIGS - I am loving your new designs. You must be very busy tonight.

I also got a PM from Kate. Glad to know she is enjoying herself (and the Diet Coke).

I have taken a break for the last couple of days and need to get moving again. I bought t-shirts at Michael's for our family to make the Mickey Head fireworks. Still need to finish 4 more tie dyes and then decide if there is anything else I need to do. I am thinking the 7 Dwarfs on grey shirts.

I guess I need to get off the computer and get started!

[triplefigs]

Denise, it's PERFECT! Thank you so much. Now to decide if it should go on the gold, olive or pumpkin colored shirt!

I think the Pumpkin or Gold. Whichever is closer to the color of the leaves and font. The black edge should really set it off.

Yes, I kind of go in bursts. Had tons of requests for DCL Christmas shirts, and I finally got inspired!

[karebear1]

I got that pm from Kate as well- how sweet she thought of us while she is on vacation.
I feel so good right now. It's good to spread the PD isn't it???

[ibouncetoo]

Yep, already ruled out the olive. The pumpkin really makes the writing pop and the gold blends well with the blue and green in the background.....especially since the green is kind of yellowish. The light green shirt I have is actually a light olive and it doesn't go at all with the background green. I'm taking them into the office tomorrow and will print it on paper on the color copier and can lay it out full size on the shirts. I'll definately post a picture when I'm done making the shirt.

Yes it is!!!!!!!!!!!! I have that warm fuzzy feeling... or is that the DIET COKE????????????:rotfl:

[Steffy]

I'm in big trouble and I need my dda friends. :goodvibes

The first thing my beloved dgd said when I walked in, "I still don't believe you left without me,Ma Ma" The trip with tinker1bell was the first time since she has been born that she wasn't at Disney with me. :rolleyes:

I'm beginning to believe it might progress into one of those "moments" you have as a child, where you stop trusting your parents or grandparents. :confused3

I know I'm a little mellow dramatic, :blush: but my guilt is really off the charts.

Can I... am I ready, and finally.... how many matching shirts would I need for 3 people for 7 days right after Thanksgiving??? :rolleyes1

I'll need MVMCP tickets and shirts. CP shirts and the dinner package.

I cannot believe I am entertaining another trip 45 days away! :wizard: :wizard: :wizard:

Promise, when you put the net on me, to be gentle. :love2:

I must be losing my mind.... or I love this child more than breathe.... :love:

[Baloo]

:earsgirl: Hi y'all!! :flower: Checking in to see what everybody's been up to!


LeesyUD...your shirts look good.Could you please expalin how you did this.Did you print the designs out and take it to the shop for them to press? What kind of paper did you use? Thye look really good!

Brendita...I see one thing you forgot on your list....ME!!!! :earboy2:Your DS Halloween costume looks amazing! Is the purple sparkley fabric? It looks just wonderful and DS is a cutie pie! ;)


Cinderumbrella...maybe you should carry a t-shirt in your backpack and change mid way through the day!!! Then you could wear at least 16 designs! :rotfl:


CheriePenguin...your Mom design is so sweet. :goodvibes Disney character Moms are a hard lot to come by...I suppose you could use some of the pictures of we DDA Moms with our kids for a Disney Mom design!!! We're certainly are a bunch of characters! :p


ljb9539...M-I-C-K-EY...those will be such a fun costume for MNSSHP! :earsboy:


Steamboat Marti....DH commented that he FINALLY understands why this is addicting -- he wants to make more! I don't think there is enough Diet Coke right now! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:


Steffy...your mind was lost the minute you stepped into ....THE T-SHIRT ZONE!!! So more than likely you love that child more than breathe...which is a good thing...45 days? That's a loooong way off...you have plenty of time to plan and make new shirts!!! :banana:

Kate...you're suppose to be on vacation!!!

I bet that little DDA mind of yours is brimming with new design ideas already! :love: Julia's magic moment with Belle was just soo,so...so...MAGICAL!!! :wizard: How wonderful! I'm so happy for y'all.Sounds like you're having a glorious trip! :sunny:

[rosiejo]

Not to worry rosiejo.
Everything is carry on size.
My bags stay with me.
I have been lucky never had to chech bags.
Even when we went to Paris for 2 weeks.

My DS once checked his bags.
They found his bags 2 hours before he was to leave again.

2 hours before he was leaving!! What a nightmare! Wish I could get everything into carry on! I obvioulsy take waaaay too much stuff :rotfl: Obvioulsy this year I have an excuse as I have a stack of wedding paraphenalia (sp) to take with me :rolleyes1

[rosiejo]

You sound like me. My family thinks I am crazy. I am going February 15-22, 2006 and I have been reading and planning for a month already. My son wanted to know why I need to read these guide books since I had been there before. LOL I love the planning part almost as much as the actually trip. LOL

:rotfl: I'm planning this trip like a military expedition - where should we go and when - I have an excel spreadsheet and it's colour coded :rotfl: Then I'm making luggage tags and tees and postcards and a book... I keep waking up in a cold sweat thinking I've forgotten something or worrying I won't get it all done in time! I've been planning this trip for a year and have just over 20 days to go :0( I LOVE the planning bit :rotfl:

[rosiejo]

Here's my Disney Mom bag graphic so far! I've been working on it in Word, but I transfered it to Paint so I could save the image alone. (That was tiny in one corner with white all around - can't figure out how to fix that, so I pasted it into a trial Dell Photo Studio file and was able to save the image alone.)

Hope this works - my first time adding a picture. I uploaded it to my gallery in the DIS Community Photo Galleries.

http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/data/500/87299DisneyMomBagNewJpg.jpg

What do you think? Does it look too cluttered/busy?

I'd kind of like to have a Simba and his Mom clip (willing to replace Incredibles or Chip if necessary). Has anyone seen a good one?

Looks perfect to me - great design :goodvibes

[rosiejo]

CheriePenguin
I took out all the little DWW for you.
I hope you don't mind.

I've been doing that on all of his images before I use them... I hope he wouldn't mind :rolleyes1

Great to hear from you Kate - I can't believe Julia met Belle and road the t cups again - she is one lucky little girl :goodvibes

[Cajun Princess]

Kate - Great to hear for you but you are suppose to be enjoying your vacation. :) Sounds like yall are have many magical moments :wizard:
The story about Julia and Belle is just to wonderful. Hope your trip stays magical :wizard:
Can't wait to see the picture

[monicatb]

Do you print your designs in different sizes to fit each member of the family? I'm buying my shirts in adult sizes small and large, and child sizes 6-8 & 10-12. Should I print everything letter size?
Another question, can you use regular white iron transfers on color shirts? I'm thinking red, blue or yellow, not black.
Thanks for your advice. Love this thread.
Monica

[Tammi67]

I, too, got the PM from Kate. Also read her post on here. Sounds like she is having a Magical time. Not only did we spread PD to Kate for all she has done here, but her children are just as thrilled as she is. What a good feeling that is. Enjoy your trip, Kate!

Monicatb - from what I understand, and I have not done my shirts yet, but the only thing that you should use white transfer paper for is the white tshirts. Everything else, even lt. pink, should use dark. I think I read on here quite awhile back that someone learned that from experience.

To all of you leaving in the next few days, I wish you safe travels and a wonderful trip!

[ljb9539]

I love it!!! Can you please post the Mickey lying down? I can't find it anywhere!
TIA

Julie&NicksMom if your out there.
Where did you find internet use.
I don't have a lap top.
I would love to keep up while on vacation.
As I will be gone 2 weeks.
I'll need a week just to catch up when I get back.

[Brendita]

Brendita...I see one thing you forgot on your list....ME!!!! :earboy2:Your DS Halloween costume looks amazing! Is the purple sparkley fabric? It looks just wonderful and DS is a cutie pie! ;)


Baloo I would love to have you & your DS come along.
Our boys are same age.
His Halloween costume is purple with little stars all over.
I added gold braid & a crest to the front.
The hat is a cowboy hat I dressed up with the gold braid & a feather.
I'm proud of this outfit.
Mine didn't turn out so well.

[Good Ol Gal]

Hi everyone~

I am looking for a design for my DS. He will be turning 5 while we're at WDW. He shares his birthday with Walt Disney, December 5th, and I was hoping for something that would include that.

Any suggestions??

DH and I are going to MVMCP, ALONE!!, and eating at the Cali Grill. Do you think it would be ok to wear a tshirt there? I wanted to make the MVMCP design that Kate posted a long time ago.

This is our frist trip with Grandma and Grandpa and I would love to have some type of shirt stating that.. but can't think of anything.

Our group will be G&G (first timers), dh, me, ds10, dd8, ds6 and ds4(turning 5).

We will be doing the FMT and I was going to make a shirt for that too. Did you finally decide on a design for that Denise? I know we're not going to be there the same day... :(

Thanks for any suggestions everyone!! I would love to make the tye dye shirts, but I just don't think I will succeed at it.

Also, can anyone point me to where I can find suggestions on the paper, shirts, etc. boy.. I'm asking alot here huh! :earboy2:

Elizabeth

[macntosh]

What Transfer Paper is preferred by All? I did my first one last night, but think I toasted the paper and thus the image. It's not as bright as I had expected, but my wife say's it looks fine. I put it on an Old Navy Long Sleeve shirt and she can always wear it around the house.

Celebrate her third B-day everyday I guess.

So my questions are:

What paper is recomended for using?
Where is the best place to get quality shirts?
Do I put something between the iron and the design?

Sorry for the silly questions, but I'm getting addicted.

Thanks!

Hi, Elizabeth. I am going to use that last FMT shirt Kate made if the kids don't dress up like Hook, PP, and Tink. The one with the hook going through the map with all the characters.

I can work on a B'day shirt. PM me with details (name, characters, colors, any other ideas).

Trust me - since I just ironed all our shirts yesterday, these are not silly questions!!! All iron on transfer paper is NOT created equal!! I used three kinds of paper yesterday; one purchased from Michael's for light t-shirts, some purchased from BJs Wholesale Club for light t-shirts and some for dark shirts that were purchased through this thread from Ebay. By far the Ebay paper was the best. I didn't have to iron as long and the transfer looks the best. It was the easiest to work with and I highly recommend it. Unfortunately I'm not the person who ordered it, so I don't know how to order some. I believe the person who ordered it previously is currently in WDW. So maybe one of the other people on this thread can point you in the right direction -- I recommend this paper highly.

The most important thing to do with any of these transfers -- read the directions specific to the transfer you are using. Each is different and yes, it matters.

PM me if you have other questions.

Denise:

We purchased the dark transfer from Kate. I watched Marti do some of the shirts last night and by far the dark transfers seemed to work the easiest. The most time consuming thing was trimming the transfers, and she did an excellent job. I will take some pics later and post.

4 days and counting...

I have to tell you, I was LMAO!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Thanks. I needed that!

And I was the one who used a light/white transfer on a pink shirt. Don't do that!!!! :earseek:

When I started using the dark transfers for all shirts, the colors were brighter and the shirts came out much better.

Welcome!!! :cheer2:

Thanksgiving DCL shirt

Denise....

while you are at all the LOVELY DCL shirts, may I put in a request? :)

I wasn't going to start thinking about cruise designs until much later, but I didn't know if it would be easier for you while you are on a roll.

I would love a shirt or two for our cruise next year. It is a surprise, and it will be on the Wonder, celebrating DH (Kyle) graduating from medical school, myself graduating from nursing school, and our 2nd anniversary.

I was thinking of 2 different designs (graduation and anniversary), but if you are feeling super creative and could combine the two, more power to ya.

Again, we're not even going on our family trip for another 2 months, which is 6 months before the cruise..... but I couldn't help asking with all your new designs! No rush or obligation! :goodvibes

Jennifer,

Will you PM me so I can save it to work one? Are you sailing the Magic or Wonder?

I don't think I will EVER catch up on this topic :) I just grows and grows!! :rotfl:

Sure! We'll be on the Wonder, and again -- no obligation, I'm sure you are busy! I just love the designs and love the idea of ANOTHER round of shirts.

I'm Jennifer, and I'm a Disney Design Addict. :teeth:

Glad I could provide some laughter, to bad it's not a paying gig. One of my mistakes last night was ironing on a stainless steel table and not telling the wife. She came to look at the shirt and since I had burned the transfer slightly that also meant the iron had been on the surface for quite some time.

First thing she did was put her hands on the table to look at the shirt. WOW, what a surprise for her. To say the least the shirt didn't look so bad once she got her hands back to normal.

re: Disney Mom Bag

Miss Missy: Thanks for the links to pics of Simba's Mom. I'll see if I can fit Simba and his Mom in.

Brendita: I don't mind your taking out the DWW's, though I don't particularly mind having them in there, and though with my program I won't be able to do any more tweaking to that image, I can only work from my original in Word. (Once I post the image alone I can't ungroup the images, etc. again in Word.)
The Jungle Book / Tarzan (?) clip is really cute too.

And THANKS to: Cajun Princess, LovesDumbo, Baloo, Rosiejo, and JnEsWDWMom for the comments too!

My DS has come down with a cold, so I've had a little less time to veg out on the computer. As soon as I get a chance I'll see what I can do tweaking the design to include Simba.

(I'll also see if I can manage to post a smaller image next time. My first attempt at posting was kind of small with white space on 3 sides that I couldn't get rid of, and my second attempt seems too big.
Any pointers?)

[tinker1bell]

Hi everyone~

I am looking for a design for my DS. He will be turning 5 while we're at WDW. He shares his birthday with Walt Disney, December 5th, and I was hoping for something that would include that.

Any suggestions??

DH and I are going to MVMCP, ALONE!!, and eating at the Cali Grill. Do you think it would be ok to wear a tshirt there? I wanted to make the MVMCP design that Kate posted a long time ago.

This is our frist trip with Grandma and Grandpa and I would love to have some type of shirt stating that.. but can't think of anything.

Our group will be G&G (first timers), dh, me, ds10, dd8, ds6 and ds4(turning 5).

We will be doing the FMT and I was going to make a shirt for that too. Did you finally decide on a design for that Denise? I know we're not going to be there the same day... :(

Thanks for any suggestions everyone!! I would love to make the tye dye shirts, but I just don't think I will succeed at it.

Also, can anyone point me to where I can find suggestions on the paper, shirts, etc. boy.. I'm asking alot here huh! :earboy2:

Elizabeth




Steffy and I went to the CG and wore a "nice t-shirt". It had the word Disney with characters throughout the name and tan pants. There was a mixture of people dressed up and some with nice dress shorts and shirts. (if he is there ask for Ron--he was the best--took really good care of us) We were there for a total of almost 3 hours. That included the wait and the dinner really spread out so we really enjoyed each delicious course. :cool1:

[KMH1]

I have to say it again. Running into Kate was like running into a celebrity. Very cool to get to meet her in person! :goodvibes

STOP! She's going to get a big head! :rotfl2:

We're home and we got lots of compliments on the two shirts Kevin designed. Hopefully he'll get around to posting pictures soon.

Valerie,

This is wonderful! I am sure someone would love this as a t-shirt!

[PaulaSue]

Okay, I need help. I am still thinking about making matchings Mickey tye-dye shirts. But, I really like the idea of a iron-on shirt. I am driving myself crazy trying to think up a catchy saying for a shirt for all of us. I love to dress my girls alike when we go out and I think I have Dh talked into a mickey tye-dye so I though an iron on would be not out of the question. :rotfl: You can pack booze right?

We are going for our 10th anniversary, DH's b-day and early (4 days after Dh's) DD5 to-be b-day with both sets of parents. 9 of us total. 2,4,6,in 30s, in 50s, and in 60s.

I want to make something matching for all of us and I don't want it to read like a book with too much info.... My parents are back together (not remarried) after being divorced for years so my Mom has a different last name as my father. I think 3 family names would look funny but just putting our last name and or my dad's last name would not do it either.

How did everyone come up with the perfect picture? Did you pick or ask everyone going to wear it?

I don't want it to be too kiddy or just anniversary-ish. Grrr...what to do? I am hoping some creative people can brainstorm with me and get me out of my rut. I keep looking at the ordering sites but they just don't really do it for me like the personal shirts everyone here is making.

You could use a design with 4 parks, 3 families, 1 awesome vacation or 3 generations instead of families. You could do a lot that way.

I have a question for some of you experts out there

IS A LIGHT PINK SHIRT considered "colored".

Should I use light or dark transfer sheet??

I am not kidding. Let me know when you get your t-shirts together and I'll make them for you. Just buy them, wash them, print your transfers and send all to me.

That's what it says - however I haven't opened it yet, so I don't know if a brush is attached to the cover or you need your own. I didn't spend alot for it, so I won't be too upset if it doesn't work.

She's beautiful, and so is that other little cutie in your signature!

[bengalbelle]

Denise,

Since I was uploading the new shirt pictures tonight, I decided to add a photo of my kids in my sig too. Please note that my kids were crowned Pumpkin King and Queen for 2005.

Sooner or later I'll be as talented as the rest of you!
Your kids are adorable and your shirt looks great! I love the idea of putting the sparkly stuff on it.

Just M.O not my game.
GOOOOOOOOOO Cards.
I'm a Cards fan way back.

Thanks everyone. My mom says the same thing looking at her and then looking at me. It's amazing how fast they do grow up. :)

Baseball talk all the way, Brendita!!

I was lucky enough to go to a couple of Cubbie games (boo Cubs) and hear Harry Carey sing "Talk Me Out To The Ballpark!" Quite a guy. :) Gotta love Jack Buck as well. It's easy to not miss him as much with his son, Joe Buck, doing some announcing.

rosiejo....I'm planning this trip like a military expedition - where should we go and when - I have an excel spreadsheet and it's colour coded . For some reason this reminded me of you!!! http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Baloo1320/tank.gifI think we could make a JUST MARRIED sign for the back of it! :p



Brendita....I''m sure Erich...and I know I would... love to do that! Someday there will be a DDA meet!



macntosh.... but my wife say's it looks fine. I put it on an Old Navy Long Sleeve shirt and she can always wear it around the house. Celebrate her third B-day everyday I guess. :earseek: WOW!! Y'all marry young in Texas!!!

Glad to know I'm not the only male on this board. I was starting to question my sexuality. :rotfl2: You have got to stick around you make me :rotfl:

OMG I just got my Disney Newsltter...look at this Chef Mickey hats!!!

[disneyeveryyear]

Hey Neighbor!
Did you get to go to a game this year? I will be really sad to see the old stadium go.
GOTTA love the Hill! Rigazzi's catered our wedding! Yummmmmm.

GO CARDS!!!!!!!!!!

We have only done Rigazzi's once - for lunch. Not too impressed. Plan to go back for pizza one night. DH's favorite is Cunetto's lasagna - only available on Tuesdays. Someday we'll have to all get together in STL. Seem to be quite a few on the boards.

[disneyeveryyear]

All of your shirts look great, but I especially love the Mickey on the sleeve!

I completely agree about the shirts, this is my favorite.

[disneyeveryyear]

Your kids are adorable and your shirt looks great! I love the idea of putting the sparkly stuff on it.

Thanks so much. I think I'll run to Michael's this week and pick some up.

[momof2OH]

Thanks Baloo. I will have to search for one of myself (I'm the one always behind the camera)

[PNO4TE]

Ok, all you early to bed DDA'ers! See what fun we have late at night. Stay up and join the madness. And for the record, I've actually made some shirts the past 2 days and haven't just been talking poop or playing around! :rotfl:

EGAD, guys! I cannot stay up late, so have to be content with the reruns in the a.m.

Paul - the shirts look wonderful! I especially like MM in the top hat! ::MickeyMo Care to share that one??? :wave2:

Denise - No more snorting that Diet stuff... have you ever seen what soda (especially Coke or Pepsi) can do to a motherboard? Not pretty! And you should hear what it sounds like when the motherboard is inside a digital keyboard!! :earseek:

[PNO4TE]

All of your shirts look great, but I especially love the Mickey on the sleeve!

I love this one too, bengalbelle! I would love to have this design, Paul or Marti. Or have you already posted it and I have missed it? Thanks!

[mgkkgdm]

I love this one too, bengalbelle! I would love to have this design, Paul or Marti. Or have you already posted it and I have missed it? Thanks!

I believe Marti has this one on her computer, I'll have her post it or PM it later.

[lmartin2711]

I was having pleasant dreams last night while ya'll were talking sports......My personal favorite topic.....2nd to my kids of course.

I am depressed over the Braves loss!!!! I watched every pitch and bat swing thru the 18th inning and knew that it would come down to just one bat. It just wasn't our bat.

I thought the Falcons were going to pull it thru at 28/28 but they just couldn't hold the line.

NOW THE DAWGS!!!!! That was a great game. My apologies to any TN fans but you got SPANKED in your own house!!!!!

I won't even start talking about my boys little league football. That would take all day. My DH just likes to watch sports......not a real fan which is probably good since I don't think this house could handle two big sports fans.

Everyone have a great day......I will check back later.

[bethbuchall]

Oh my goodness! You have too much fun at night! Thanks for the morning snickers. :rotfl2:

[lmartin2711]

Paul and Marti............were ya'll at separate computers last night or just sharing one.......ya'll are a riot!!!

[Tammi67]

Boy you guys just have too much fun when I am not around. I am going to force myself to stay up late tonight, just to see how the other half of the world live. (I hope there is some living going on.)

I have this vision in my head with Paul and Marti sitting up in bed, each with their own laptop, snickering and posting back and forth....:rotfl:

Great new designs. I love them.

[mgkkgdm]

Paul and Marti............were ya'll at separate computers last night or just sharing one.......ya'll are a riot!!!

Two computers in the same room (Disney Office) only problem was that Denise and Marti both type faster than me... :rotfl2:

Only three more days, I can already taste my Bourbon Strip Steak at the Yachtsman :banana: :banana: :banana:

[KMH1]

Wow, are we exhausted...we both crashed before 11 p.m. last night and look how much we missed! :teeth:

Since Kevin still hasn't posted any pictures, I will link you all to our photopass account: http://disneyphotopass.go.com/DPI/r.d?i=244401075

I must warn you, there are 173 pictures...Alyssa was sort of a "photopass magnet." We also took about 1000 pictures, because she was just so adorable with the characters. :goodvibes

Pictures 1-10 depict one of our matching t-shirts and pictures 69-94 show the other one. We completely forgot to pose backwards, so you could see our names.

We went to two Halloween parties, but only have photopass pictures from the first night (pics 17-36). I DID NOT HAVE TO GET KEVIN DRUNK TO DRESS UP LIKE JOHN! He did that all on his own...he didn't want to wear tights, so Peter Pan was out, but he was perfectly fine with wearing a nightgown (he did have shorts on underneath ;) ) We went as Pongo, Peridita, and Penny (dalmations) the second night.

Other highlights include Alyssa's first haircut at the Magic Kingdom Barbershop, over $900 worth of free food, including five character meals, the Disney Visa Epcot meet and greet, awesome interaction during the Jammin Jungle Parade and Stars and Motor Cars Parade, meeting Figment at Epcot...oh, I could go on and on! :wizard:

It is so depressing to be back in gray, cloudy Ohio, but thank goodness for the Disboards and our favorite thread! :flower:

Amy :)

[Tammi67]

I'm so glad you had a wonderful time. I will have to wait until I get to work to check out your photos. It would take forever on dial-up. Coming home is so depressing. I actually cried last time. Two more months for us. I can't wait!

[disneyeveryyear]

Amy- Thanks for sharing your pictures, they were awesome!!! With all the beautiful smiles, I can tell you were having a wonderful time.

It looks like Alyssa was truly excited to see all the characters. The hugs were just wonderful.

[LoriDee]

Kevin and Amy,

Welcome back. Glad you had a wonderful trip.

[dumby]

Amy, Loved your pictures. You little girl was adorable with all the characters.

[my3princes]

I saw that picture and immediately invisioned someone wearing a white coat and there is an instant Chef Mickey costume.

Deb

[karebear1]

Amy- thanks for linking us to the pics. Your dd is just a little doll! It's clear she loves Minnie- and Pooh and his friends! BUT- I find it necessary to make a comment about Minnie-. Now.... I don't want to be a gossip or anything like that, but for someone that is supposed to be so fashionable- she needs to check out her Halloween get up. That mask she wears makes her look crosseyed! Should we be tru friends??? Gosh- what would a true firend do? Would they tell her, or just overlook it and focus on her inner beauty?!!?!? Truely the dilemma for the day, don't ya think???? ;)
It looks like you had a great time! Welcome Home! We missed you and your fam!

[macntosh]

That PhotoPass thing is great, but with those prices one could spend a small fortune. It may be hard to decide on pricing.


Baloo - My wife is actually slightly older then my daughter if you add a 0 to the end of my daughter's age. I mean this isn't Arkansas or anything.

[lmartin2711]

Amy, What wonderful and magical pictures. I am at work and all "teary eyed". I have to get myself together before a co-worker walks in here. Disney is such a magical place and I can tell from your photos and your post that is exactly what kind of trip you had.....thanks again for sharing your family with us!!!!

[Steamboat Marti]

I have this vision in my head with Paul and Marti sitting up in bed, each with their own laptop, snickering and posting back and forth....:rotfl:


Actually - you are not far off!! We do have two computers because we each failed sharing in kindergarten... :teeth: The two computers are in the spare bedroom, which of course, is completely decorated in Disney memorabilia.... gotta love the mouse!

[Steamboat Marti]

I love this one too, bengalbelle! I would love to have this design, Paul or Marti. Or have you already posted it and I have missed it? Thanks!

I have it on my computer and I'll post it when I get back from DS's school -- I have volunteered to do some copying for the class and today is my day.
Later!!

[bear74]

I love all the new designs. I had to work the past 3 days so I had over 10 pages to catch up on.

I like the mom bag. someone is doing a mother/daughter bag how about ariel and melody from little mermaid II.

To everyone that leaves in the next few days have a wonderful trip full of Pixie Dust.

GO ASTROS!!!

I looked at some of your pictures(They're very nice), and noticed your DD has the same tinkerbell costume my DD will be wearing. I see you decided to scrap the inflatable wings also. I was just wondering how she did when it got dark. Did you need to put a jacket on her or was she ok? TIA

[PaulaSue]

Thank you for the ideas my3princes and baloo!!!! :cool1:
Off to tell Dh and the parents for what picture to use.

[tink2020]

I am depressed over the Braves loss!!!! I watched every pitch and bat swing thru the 18th inning and knew that it would come down to just one bat. It just wasn't our bat.

Ditto! :sad: I watched all 6 hours and kept hoping....... oh well. What an amazing season, with 16 rookies to boot!

Alyssa's costume didn't come with inflatable wings, it actually had some soft wings made of netting on the back. Subtle, but adorable. The weather was sweltering while we were there (80's and 90's), and even when the sun went down, it was still warm. I did have a jacket for her "just in case," but we never needed it.

Thanks for all your compliments on our pictures everyone! When Kevin logs on at lunch, he will be thrilled to see all your attention! :teeth:

Amy :)

[momof2OH]

Amy & Kevin - The pictures are great!! and your DD is adorable. I can't wait to take my nephew in 2 years. It will be so much fun and magical to see Disney through his little eyes.

Great pics, Amy!! Your shirts look great. How did you do your DD's transfers? Are they half the size of yours or smaller? What size shirt does she have? My DD wears a 4T and I'm trying to figure out how to print her transfers.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Alyssa's shirts are size 18 months and Kevin printed both of her iron-ons on the same transfer sheet (1/2 page for each one) so they were approximately 4x5. Hope that helps.

cocowum, I'm not sure why the photopass guy asked us to pose like that (#39), but it's a fun picture! I was just looking at another friend's pictures and they posed like that too, so that must be the "thing" to do at AK. :teeth:

Pooh67_68m #154 is one of our favorites too! :goodvibes

We're going to go in the poorhouse buying pictures. Luckily we have a lot of the same shots on our digital camera, but we're also grateful there's a code for 25% off orders of $120 or more.

Thanks again for all your compliments!

and here is the cut out that I put on a sleeve, but could also be used for a front "pocket" idea...

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a236/Steamboat123/mickeypocket.jpg

I'm going to repost some of the pictures that Paul posted, but with comments (ie, type of transfer paper etc) because a couple of people asked. I'll get to that later.

Before I start gushing about how adorable Alyssa is, or what a cute couple you and Kevin are, let me just tell you that I am insanely jealous of your picture with Captain Hook :mad:. I have stalked him for the last 4 trips trying to get a picture for DS and that sneaky pirate continues to elude us. It's the one "must get" character that we never get :(.

Now I'll gush. Alyssa is absolutely beautiful! It looks like y'all had a wonderful time and your MNSSHP costumes look great! I've only been home 2 weeks and I'm already trying to figure out how to get back there for Halloween and Christmas next year!! I miss WDW and sorry, but the Disboards aint helpin' ;)

[dumby]

Steamboatmarti - Could you post the sleeve mickey again. It is real big and pixelated (s/p) on my end. I loved this shirt and would love to do one like it. Hope you don't mind someone copying you.

Thanks so much

We're going to have to wait for Paul to come home -- he's better at resizing and all computer info generally. I'm just the faster typer. I'm sure he can do it, and if not, maybe triplefigs will resize it and that will take care of the bitmapping problem.

Your pictures were great, It makes coming to work even harder for the next 30 days. I can't wait until we get there. I only wish my daughter could get around as easy as yours, but it does help her jump long lines sometimes when she does get noticed.

I have a favor to ask of anyone going to MNSSHP in the next couple of weeks. DS Rees' favorite is Maleficent. Would anyone going mind trying to get a good picture of Maleficent and her signature for Rees (my piggy bank!). I don't think we'll see her in December.

and Amy and Kevin, the pictures are great. I especially like the 2nd coloring book shirt, and LOVE your costumes. Did you make Wendy and John? They're great. Your DD is adorable, and I love the ones of her with all the characters.

Thanks!

I know what you mean bengalbelle...after 8 trips, we finally tracked down Brer Rabbit! We always saw him in the Jammin Jungle Parade, but he was never out around Splash when we were there, and when we'd ask CMs to call the "Chip" hotline, they'd claim he wasn't appearing that day. Little Miss Alyssa was napping in her stroller when we finally met up with him, but I got some good character interaction. Hopefully you'll see Captain Hook next time!

macntosh, your daughter is beautiful! :goodvibes

triplefigs, I didn't make our costumes...I bought the nightgowns on Ebay. Kate actually helped me find my blue nightgown, though she did make fun of me for buying "lingerie" on Ebay. :rotfl2: I bought Kevin's top hat and glasses at Party City and I found some ribbon that matched my nightgown at Michaels. Alyssa's Tink costume came from Disney Direct.

Now, I did sort of make our dalmation costumes...that is I colored about 500 spots on our tops and bottoms and I sewed some ears on hats. One of these evenings Kevin will post some pictures, but you know, Lost is on tonight! :teeth:

Brendita! Thanks!! They're both really cute. I'll have to call DD down and see which one she wants. I like the swirly one. I can't wait to do them!

[my3princes]

I have a favor to ask of anyone going to MNSSHP in the next couple of weeks. DS Rees' favorite is Maleficent. Would anyone going mind trying to get a good picture of Maleficent and her signature for Rees (my piggy bank!). I don't think we'll see her in December.

and Amy and Kevin, the pictures are great. I especially like the 2nd coloring book shirt, and LOVE your costumes. Did you make Wendy and John? They're great. Your DD is adorable, and I love the ones of her with all the characters.

Thanks!

I'll see what we can do too. Maybe one of us will run into her.

[macntosh]

I was wondering if anyone was interested in designing a shirt with a toungue in cheek attitude. My wife would like a shirt that states "Stare a little longer and she might do a trick!"

I know we have a cute daughter but it seems that when she's on her crutches or walking slowly holding a hand. people stop and stare, wondering what is wrong with her. She has Cerebral Palsy do to the fact she was 8 weeks premature.

So if anyone is up for the challange or willing to walk on the dark side a little, let me know. I don't know what character to use, but your ideas are more then welcome.

Thanks all.

Yeah it seems a bit quiet tonight don't it. LOL

[triplefigs]

I think I scared them away. :earboy2:

Hi, all. I'm here. Boy today was long.... We leave the house at 7:45 am and don't get home until 7:45pm. With 3 five year olds, that is tough. They're exhausted, I'm exhausted. Don't think even my beloved Diet Coke it cutting it tonight so I'm drinking Diet Mountain Dew. Even that isn't helping! So, I may be a big party pooper. Sorry gals!

[Tammi67]

Yes, Denise, no more poop. tsk tsk

[triplefigs]

Yes, Denise, no more poop. tsk tsk

Ok, you can see how tired I am. I didn't catch it even when y'all did. I was like, huh? What did I post? Ok, I am a total wipe out tonight. Glad I at least provided a little comic entertainment!

[Tammi67]

No need to explain. I know how it is with little ones and working full time. Of course, I don't have three. Mine are 5 and 3......and the bickering those two can do....it exhausts me just mediating

[dumby]

I have one 5 year old and believe me at the end of some days I am exhausted. I cannot image having three of him. LOL I do have two teenage boys also and they can be very trying also. Go get some rest Denise!!!

I'll see what I can do.
1 picture & 1 signature for Rees'.

May I say your DD is so cute.
What a smile!!

I have an idea if somebody can run with it.

The snake from Jungle Book would be a perfect clip-art.

Well all, I should have known I wouldn't last. I'll see you tomorrow. G'night.

Wow, are we exhausted...we both crashed before 11 p.m. last night and look how much we missed! :teeth:

Since Kevin still hasn't posted any pictures, I will link you all to our photopass account: http://disneyphotopass.go.com/DPI/r.d?i=244401075

Amy :)

Welcome back, Amy! GREAT pics!! You saw sooooo many characters! My DS would love to find Max. How cool that you got a picture with Max and Goofy! Another fav is Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc. We have never managed to find them.

Can I ask where you found your plain white v-neck shirt? I don't like a traditional round collar. Vnecks are much more comfortable!

It looks like you had a great time! Your dd is adorable! I am curious - what do they do when a girl gets her haircut there?

[geetey]

Yippee!!!!!!!!! Here are my first 3 shirts (I plan on just wearing these to bed etc. so they were my practice shirts)
If I was not a design addict before I am now!!

I have to be honest with you.......The many times I have seen pictures of your daughter at the bottom of your siggie I never even noticed the crutches until your post last night. She is so adorable that I never saw past that pretty face.

What about a picture of just the snake with the swirley eyes looking out? Sorry that you have to deal with people staring at her. If I was a passerby I would be noticing how cute she is and how much courage she is showing!!!!

I second that! With your post the other night, I had to really look and see what you were talking about. What a cutie!

[tink2020]

To all my fellow DDAs...

... just checking in. I've missed the late nights with you all! It's no fun reading once every day or two and having to catch up on 10 pages!! :)

Things here have been a little rough (you know, when it rains it pours....) but I wanted to say hello! I also wanted to share my excitement this morning. It won't mean a thing to anyone who isn't in my program dealing with the garbage that's going on, but I got the hospital I wanted for my preceptorship next semester! :Pinkbounc :banana: :cool1:

This doesn't solve any BIG problems, but it's one thing off my shoulders. Just so you have a clue, it's like getting breakfast with Cindy. My old roommate and I were refreshing this page online with the fastest fingers possible from 7:58-8:00:00 and both got in!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks :) Like I said, that probably means nothing important to you all, but there's nobody here to celebrate with right now!

Keep us in your prayers.... hopefully I'll have more time to update and stay up to date on all you'ins here! :grouphug:

Thanks! Kevin and I are big character people (we didn't ride a single ride at the two MNSSHPs we went to) and we're so happy that Alyssa isn't scared of them. The photopass pictures only depict a few of the characters we saw, because they really only have photopass photographers around the "big names." One of our favorite character sitings is the Epcot bus (Characters on holiday). We seeked out the bus at least 4-5 times! Also, Mike and Sully have their own garage at MGM...it's right across from the ABC Commissary restaurant. Seriously, we're character "experts," so if anyone is looking for someone specific, feel free to PM me! :)

I found my v-neck shirt at Kmart, but it was on summer clearance, so I'm not sure if it's regularly in stock. I actually bought two, but my name didn't iron on the back smoothly on the first one, because of the v-neck hem. We learned our lesson and ironed my name lower on the second shirt and there were no problems. Unfortunately, I couldn't find another v-neck and I ended up with a scooped neck fitted shirt from Michaels to redo the first shirt.

Regarding Alyssa's first haircut, really it only entailed giving her bangs, so she could see again (she just wouldn't keep barrettes in!). The barber, Michal, also evened things out a bit, but her haircut lasted only about five minutes (including him applying about 25 Mickey stickers to distract her in the beginning). He gave her some Mickey ears that said "first haircut" on the back (she pulled that off within a minute :teeth: ) and he also wrapped up her hair in some tissue paper with some "pixie dust" and gave us a certificate too. Hopefully Kevin will post pictures for you all soon (really, I should have paid attention to the picture posting tutorial he tried to give me about a month ago, but I'm a terrible, impatient student :rotfl: ).

Thanks for the tips Amy. We are riders so if the characters aren't there when we go by, we just keep going. That's probably why we haven't even found Mike and Sully! (We have found Captain Hook several times in MK though.)

The first haircut sounds cute! I have seen the colored gel/lots of Mickey confetti hairdo for boys and couldn't imagine something like that on your sweet little girl. :)

It sounds like I might be waiting a while for the v-neck shirts, but I will keep my eyes peeled!

Thank you all for the kind words, and you are probably right. :blush:

No apologies necessary, as far as I'm concerned. I am sure that, although we may not have noticed, you have to deal with plenty of stares, etc .... because let's face it -- people can be downright rude. Some people, that is. :)

I think it's great that you can have that kind of humor.... people SHOULD know that it's not appropriate to stare, but I'm sure that doesn't stop some!

We think your daughter is just great around here :goodvibes

I read this post and was a little confused! Then I looked at the pictures. I had never noticed the crutches before. She is one of the most BEAUTIFUL little girls I have EVER seen. I thought my kids were beautiful, but man, your daughter is gorgeous! You can hardly see the crutches she is so enchanting on her own!

[triplefigs]

Just wanted to "ditto" everything Jennifer said.

Yes, she is beautiful. My Rees and Brantley-Kate both have CP too (hypotonic CP) from being preemies (11 weeks early). Brantley-Kate is in her legs so she falls a lot, is very unsteady, etc. Rees' is in his trunk and arms and one leg. He mainly has problems where he can't hold items well, difficulty writing, etc. I know what you are going through. Just remember God only gives these AWESOME kids to very luck moms and dads. Those other people are jerks and have no clue how blessed we are to have them in our lives.

Ok, off my soapbox and back to my normal goofy self...

[macntosh]

Wow I think I have a tear rolling down my cheek. *Questioning Sexuality Again* :goodvibes OK back, you ladies sure do know how to make a father proud.

We know she's beutifull, but it's really cool hearing other people say it.

I do think I'm creating a KAA shirt though that says, "What are you thssstaring at?" This way it can be taken any way the viewer wants.

The "thssstaring" is suppose to be like a hiss, so any help on how that would be spelled would be appreciated.

I look forward to posting our Fastpass pictures, but think I might be spending a small fortune.
