Shopping I love shopping!
Me too, girl. So much.
That magic band looks amazing! I want sparkles! Also I love the cages for the pearls! I did a similar thing with the first portable charger I got it was so heavy! I had to return it and get a different one! Wh oh I should probably find before my trip.
I should probably try to return this one, but while unpacking it, I kinda destroyed the box it came in.
Amazon would probably laugh at me and refuse to give me back my money.
This is very important you do not need to apologize ever for something like that your being silly!
Thank you! You were so generous to give me the two for free, I was worried you would feel like I was ungrateful!
Also I am zero help on FP+!
Thanks!
YAY! For almost Fast Pass Times. I agree with using the Haunted Mansion as a back up in case you can't get 7DMT. I tried to get one for our 1st day and wasn't successful (I was able to get one later in the week), but hopefully it works out for you!
I hope it works out too!
My aunt can't ride, but I think my uncle would like it!
I really need to look into a charger like that for my phone. However, we are trying to go bagless into the parks this time (I know!! can you imagine?). Keith loves the idea of skipping the bag line and heading right into the park. I however get a little nervous not having my bag...it's like a security blanket! Then again it will be nice not to have to carry anything around. I think I might try the whole bagless thing on our arrival night activities and see how it goes, then decide from there...lol.
I love the idea of going bagless, but I know it'll never happen for me. Just the barest essentials for me are my phone, charger, wallet, sunscreen, sunglasses, medications, and itinerary print-outs. That's a lot to stuff in pockets!
I love the organizer...I usually stuff all of ours in a big gallon ziplock bag and move on. However, my Mom did leave her organizer at my house during her last visit...I might just have to borrow that for the November Trip.
Totally borrow it, I'm sure she won't mind!
Wow--look at you all organized with your toiletries. Do you mean to tell me that shoving them all in a ziplock bag and hoping it stays closed isn't the way to go?
It probably is the way to go, but I tend to overthink things, if you hadn't noticed.
I love the new pearl cage. Can't wait to see them both with a pearl! (Just assuming you'll take Mo's advice)
I'm startin' to feel the peer pressure to buy two pearls...
LOVE the sparkly magic band!!! Perfect for wearing with a tiara!
That was my thought, too!!!
Oh, fast pass.....my only advice would be to just sit tight with the plans, wait to see what you can get, then tweak accordingly. I always get to a place where I can't plan any more and just have to wait (impatiently) to see what's available. Can't wait to hear how it goes!
I hope it all comes together! I hate stressing and constantly checking back for stuff to come available! I'm not good at sitting tight! I need everything perfect, and I need it NOW!
Where did you find that organizer? It's awesome! I have something in a similar vein that we used on the last trip, but I've used it a lot since then and it's getting a little ratty.
AMAZON! I get my whole life on Amazon!
Here's the link to the one I bought:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XEF84DS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
That is a great organizer. Wait, you are a great organizer!
Awww, Donna! You make me blush!
I like your back up plan for the FP+ situation. However, you are entitled to all of my pixie dust on Sunday/Monday, because until I get my financial butt in gear and pay down the car, I am Disneyless... But that is my motivation.
I will gladly accept your pixie dust and milk it for all it's worth! I NEEDS IT!
I am also intrigued by the no bags to the parks, I'll have to ponder on that. Then again, an extra 5 minutes to entry doesn't bother me that much.
Yeah, the bad check line really isn't that bad really! It would just be nice to be able to tour unencumbered. Oh well!
Nothing embarrassing about your previous way of packing toiletries, that is what I tend to do!
Oh good, so it's not just me.
I love that your list includes...A tiara!, a pink hair flower, Minnie Ears, and a pink shower cap! You are so awesome. : ) This gave me such a smile!!
Ha! Why thank you! Can't travel to Disney without all my princess accouterments!
Hope you are able to get your fast passess. Are you a night owl. I have trouble staying up late and don't look forward to trying to get mine in a few weeks at 1:30 in the morning. If we were not going the week of Christmas I would have waited until the early morning. What plan do you have that night. Strong coffee, snacks, etc.
I'm verrrrrry much a night owl. HOOT HOOT. Seriously. Life-long insomnia. It's a really really good night for me if I can get myself into bed and asleep before 2am. So doing FastPass+ at midnight is nothing at all for me. However, doing ADRs at 6am? Now THAT is brutal...
Maybe, if you time it right. But remember that the posted time may not be accurate because you're not going to be the only one running over there after Wishes.
Eeek, that's true, I hadn't thought about that!
But ... don't give up hope on getting 7DMT. Even if you don't get it at 60 days, keep checking - I've gotten it closer to the trip. People drop their FP+, cancel, etc, and sometimes they open more spots, so you still have a chance, even if you don't get it at midnight.
If I can't get it, I'll keep checking back for sure!
Yeah, I know the feeling...
(I mean, it's not like I haven't even paid of my package yet but I still just spent $60 on cute running stuff ... oh wait, I did)
I did at least wait until my package was paid off and all my spending money was saved up before I went on my shopping spree...
The decals look great! I love how sparkly the silver one is!!!
Thanks! I love that one too! So much glitter!
I'm actually in the market for a new portable charger (mine is misbehaving), and you had me until this. No way I'm carrying around something that big and heavy in my bag. But if you're willing to do it ... go for it.
I'm going to
try it. Maybe it won't be so bad! To be fair, my bag sits on my lap when I'm on my ECV, I only have to carry the weight of it when I'm in line for something. It might be fine! If not, I'll come up with a Plan B.
Is this not a normal thing to do? Don't get me wrong, I have one of those fancy organizers (I got it for free when I was in college because of a program I did), and I actually usually use Clinique makeup bags for my toiletries (I have some pretty big ones from various bonus times), but I really thought most people did the random shopping or ziploc bag thing.
The new organizer is super cute, though.
And now you're making me feel like I have to dig up my fancy organizer for my trip!
Honestly, I was just looking for something like a big makeup bag or box of some kind to put everything in... Just something a little more user-friendly than a Walmart bag.
I hadn't planned on buying anything this fancy, but then I figured... Why not?
OH I love the decals, especially the silver sparkly one!! I love it! I may have to copy you and get one myself.
Do it, we can be matchy matchy!
I've never used a portable phone charger, but I think they are brilliant, those phone batteries seem to run out soooo fast on vacation!
I highly recommend a portable charger! After having one on my trip last year, I can't imaging traveling without one now!
I'm probably zero help on the FP+ advice, but knowing you and your stealthy Yoda ways you will get everything exactly how you want it! Good she is!
Yes mmmmmmm
Oh, please. You're making me blush, too!
You had your very own boat on Splash????? Awesome! Totally awesome!!!!
It was the BEST. Splash Mountain is my most favorite ride in MK, and having a "private tour" was just super amazing!
Well, I'm assuming you won't go to sleep so it does count as Sunday night. That's how Disney time works.
Of course not! For me, at Midnight the night is still young!
I think that if you can position yourself to be as close to Fantasyland as possible it could work! Another option - if you're willing to see the second parade on your
MVMCP night, I think wait times will be pretty low during the first parade. You could try 7DMT then?
Ooooh. Will there be a second parade?
This is me ALL. THE. TIME.
Right?!?!
But I've been really good since my last shopping spree. The only thing on my list are Christmas shirts and maybe Santa hats or reindeer headbands or something for the boys.
I love this! I made my Christmas shirt, and I plan on buying a pair of red & green sequined Minnie ears first thing when we arrive on the Dec. 4th!
I love this! My toiletries are in a big Vera Bradley thing but this is much more organized!
I just wanted something, anything, other than a WALMART BAG to put my stuff in.
I love the silver Magic Band cover. It looks very elegant. It will be perfect for Christmas.
That's exactly what I was thinking! I'll be wearing it to MVMCP on our arrival night.
We have a hanging toiletries bag that is very convenient. And having it hanging out of the way helps to keep the sink clear of clutter. I don't like to have all my stuff out for housekeeping to see.
Yay! I'm happy to hear that it works so well for you! Hopefully it will for me, too.
Good luck in fast pass day. Agree you may have issues getting 7dmt on your first day, but since you want later in the day you may be good. If not I'd switch it with something you had planned later in the week to be on the safe side. Even during parades waits can still be close to an hour.
I think my Plan B is to grab HM instead, and just keep checking back for 7DMT, or hope we get lucky late that night with Stand-By!
Love all your purchases and especially the magic band decals. Can't wish to see how the necklaces work our
I'm excited to see how they turn out, too! (Murphy's law, because I brought pendants, I'll pull some ridiculously huge pearl or something...
)
I had no idea of this really cool magic band color thingys/stripe thingys. I need to research this more and find out where to get them, and see if maybe they'd make a nice stocking stuffer. Hmm...
magicyourband.com They have a HUGE selection, or you can even upload images and create your own! Only $6-$8 per band, and they send you duplicates, in case you mess up applying them. They ship CRAZY fast too! I love them!
I LOVE your little toiletries bag! I have one already that I'll likely use, but I'm so glad you found one you like. And like you say... it's pink.
The pink is what sold me, honestly. Too cute!
Looking forward to seeing how you FP+ plan pans out. Yes, I think Plan B's in general are a good way to go. You just never know! Miss being here more, but you know how it goes....
I think HM will be my Plan B, and I'll just hope for the best. Gonna need some pixie dust, though!
I KNOOOOOW, OMG OMG OMG!!!
Wait, what?! I thought everyone did this?!
Just kidding, I always use the super sleek, super trendy clear plastic ziplock bag personally
But you make excellent points about your snazzy new one... I might have to invest in one myself!
I hope it works as well as I think it will! I'll found out in a couple months!
As always a big
to your organization and spreadsheets, girl.
I have no life.
just helping a cause! you KNOW your going to need two pearls.. you have two carriages!
Seems legit.
Love the toiletries bag thing! so organized i tell you!!! you got this to a science!
I'm blindin' ya'll with planning SCIENCE.
) This December trip will take care of the rest of them. 
Hope you get all of your fast passes tonight!
