How Many Sleeps Until Disney Mommy?! August 2009 PTR **WE'RE BACK!!!**

[jenjolt]

Well I'm all caught up and your plans look amazing!! Loved the little guys hiding spot...how cute was that picture!!!

Your DISigns are amazing and are going to make great t-shirts can't wait to see how they turned out!!!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Jen!

Ok, the hubby has gone for a nap, an audience would just make me nervous, and I'm all caught up on here (I think!) so I'm off to try the shirts.

 

[MinnieNurse]

We will be "not so patiently" waiting for a full report with pictures.

 

[Mickey_Mom]

I don't know guys... what do you think?

First, the ones I really like:

I really would have preferred these two in a tan coloured shirt, but the store we went to was really limited in their selection and what sizes they had. But they're cute right?

The problem I have is with the next two I want to show you. See, I thought that when a colour on the transfer was white, it would show up white on the shirt regardless of what colour the shirt was. Turns out, no. When its white on the transfer, its the colour of the shirt in the end. So, I'm not crazy about these two.

The whites of Mater's eyes became green.

The Princesses get completely lost in this shirt. Ariana still loves it though.

The other three I still have to transfer but now we're heading out to go see Ice Age 3D.

See ya for now!

 

[jenjolt]

OOOH I liked the way those shirts turned out!! I think the Mater one looks really cute!!!

The princess one is a bit hard to see but if your little girl loves it then it doesn't matter at all!!!! I think you did a great job!!!

 

[MinnieNurse]

Wow, you work fast. I think they look great. I really like the glass slipper one. The blue of the shirt makes the slipper look good.

 

[ZeroToHero]

I still love Mater! And yes, the princesses are a little lost, but as long as Ariana likes it, it's good!

Thanks guys! They do like them, they're excited. I messed up the grad one using the dark transfer. I read right on the instructions "don't mirror the picture" and........ you guessed it, I mirrored it. I have to try that one again and the other two dark transfer ones. Those freak me out so I'm putting it off.

We just got back from the movie. It was just OK for me until closer to the end when it got much better. More nerdy glasses so we had fun.

Ooo and here is my recent shopping treasures.

Four pairs of shoes: The brown and blue flip flops are my water park shoes and the pink meshy ones are Ariana's water park shoes. The pink plaid shoes are Ariana's just for fun because she looooves pink and she loooooves shoes (and we're the same size so I can wear them too and they are cute!!). Lastly the black meshy Cars shoes are Demetri's water park shoes.

Two water cameras for the kids to use at at the aforementioned water parks, more Crystal Light drink mixes, lots 'o batteries and rapid disolve allergy medicine....

Two misting fans, three pairs of swimming goggles and only three little travel size items: little hand sanitizer, hair spray and Off! Remember I mentioned the travel size aisle was really short? They had nothing!

Soon I must do another plan update, but first I gotta get caught up DISing!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Love the tees! Love the purchases! You are well on your way to a wonderful trip!

 

[MinnieNurse]

I like those misting fans. I dont think I have ever seen ones like that. Cute shoes. I think I will get Lance some swimming goggles-thats a good idea. Great shopping trip.

Thanks, I'm starting to feel much more relaxed about it.

I like those misting fans. I dont think I have ever seen ones like that. Cute shoes. I think I will get Lance some swimming goggles-thats a good idea. Great shopping trip.

When we see the carts all over the parks we'll be grabbing handfulls of crushed ice to throw in the misting fans. Ahhhhhh!

When I last left off, I talked about stormy weather on Day 6. Did you figure out where we’re planning to go this day? That’s right – Blizzard Beach!



Get it?




Stormy weather? .......... Blizzard Beach?





I’m such a nerd.



Day 6

Yes, its off to Blizzard Beach today, the other water park in our newly added water parks & more option. I’ll have to dig out the vacation DVD and re-watch this part because TL and BB just merge in my mind for some reason. TL has the boat right? And BB has….. well, the snow? Oh this will be fun. Much like my nervousness for TL, I’m hoping my little munchkin people behave themselves. Does BB have a lazy river?!

That is pretty much it for Day 6. Pretty lame huh? Not! No ADRs, no secret parties. Nope. Nada. Zilch. But what I think we’ll do is head back to the Pop when the fun and frivolity ends for a quick change of clothes. Then we’ll head on over to the EMH at Magic Kingdom. It’s now Day 6 in our plans and we haven’t been to the MK since Day 1, so I think it’s time don’t you?

I may have been inspired to ride a certain ride at exactly midnight… who knows? It’s one of my daughter’s favorite rides and with her guest assistance card we can probably time it just right.

I’ve vowed to take tons upon tons of pictures this trip and MK at night is sorely missing from my collection.

We must not be toooo late though; we want to be rested up for our second day at a particular park. Can you guess which one we’re going back to for Day 7 ??



More tips I’ll be checking out for Magic Kingdom:

Buzz Lightyear - The big points in the Buzz Lightyear ride are found leaving the first room. Turn around and shoot the back of the Orange Robot’s arm or the back of the buzz saw – 100,000 points! The car turns automatically away from these so turn back and score big!

Main Street – Get a seat in front of the castle at about 30 minutes after the park closing. You’ll be treated to the “kiss goodnight” from the castle.

Next update - Day 7 with a fav ADR.... eh?

Hi Tracy!!

I was just about to sign off and go to bed when I caught sight of the Autism Awareness ribbon in your siggie. Our 11 yr old son, Billy, is autistic and it's mostly because of him that we've fallen in love with the Disney Magic!

I'm "holding my place" so to speak, so I can come back tomorrow and read your entire thread!

Hey, I laughed at the Blizzard Beach thing, so that means.....

We're both nerds.

But now you've got me in more suspense.. What's Ariana's favorite ride?!
Or did you tell us before and I've just forgotten?

 

[Lady Lallie]

I believe both waterparks have lazy rivers. I think that will be a fun day for your gang!

I have never seen the kiss goodnight but I would really like too....still a little confused as to what it is exactly.

Hope we made you smile a few times along the way!

Oh sorry!! I guess I left that out didn't I ? The Haunted Mansion! We're not sure what the draw is for her on this particular ride. I mean its an awesome ride and all but its a far cry from her usual princess heavy favorites. As soon as we turn the corner out of Fantasyland, she's pointing and asking for it.

Me too, I can't picture what it would be. I think we'll grab some ice cream and watch for it. Even if it turns out to be a smoochie sound and a flicker of the lights we'll have enjoyed our ice cream instead of running for the buses.

Love the shirts!! and it looks like you had a very successful shopping trip Those are some very cute shoes!!!!

The mystery is solved....Blizzard Beach!! Yay!! You'll have so much fun!!

It's not too much longer now....you must all be getting so excited(I know we are....)

 

[JPFamilyMom]

Wow lots of new info posted

Cute shirts, good job on that. I haven't done dark transfers yet, so I'm learning from your mistake I'm so use to printing on white shirts that as soon as I save designs I put on shirts I flip the images, so I'll have to keep track of that too.

Great finds on what you have bought for your trip. I bought the first item for our trip today, forget who told me (you or someone else), but at Target they had big pens in the dollar section and we were able to get Nemo.

Yes BB has a lazy river, that is where I spent my time there, as I'm not a big water slide person, so while DH was off waiting in line for that big drop slide I was in the lazy river, enjoy. The kids area is very cute. If you want to see some of blizzard beach on one of the disney sing a longs (the favorite one that DH wants to throw out) has a song or two with blizzard beach on it. Next time I watch I'll make not of the song for you and find it on you tube.

love your little tips, the kiss goodnight at the castle in MK sounds so wonderful. Please take pictures as I probably won't be staying out that late.
ok, can't wait for more
