I love the thrifty outfit ideas!

I know! I got a Limited Too skirt for DD10 today for $2.15! But our Goodwill is nasty. I only go the one thing because everything was yucky.

I saw those patches at the Disney Store and they looked so cool. I may have to load up on some of those for our next trip.

I may need to get some more. I got a coupon for 15% off my entire purchase again. What I really need to do is go through all the things I've bought in the last few months and see what there is before I go again!

Okay, that's exactly what I'm talking about ! LOL! That would happen to me if I was doing that project! I would not have thought about the whole "stretchy" thing ahead of time! Well, I'm glad I'm not alone, or you're not alone...or something like that!!!!

Can't wait to see projects of the iron ons though! They sound like they turned out great!

]I'm going to work on pics today. At least I didn't waste my money where the ribbons are concerned!

Yesterday I ordered beads on eBay to make necklaces for the girls. I bought 25 animal print beads (long tubes) and 5 Minnie heads that have little red and white bows on the head. I think they will make a super cute necklace to match their Animal Kingdom Outfits. I think I spent $10 for enough to make all three of us a necklace.

You have been busy being crafty. I like the idea of themeing each day, but DF is 100% against dressing the same. Wait until we have children and in a crowd od thousands, he will thank me for dressing is in lime green tees.

DH isn't into it either. He'll have tees that I did iron-ons that he probably won't ever wear again once we leave.
Lime green tees would help everyone stay together!

Pictures have been added for the two outfits I made this week! Yippppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I'm still stalled on the AK shirts because I can't find any brown tees that aren't stretchy. I may just go with white. Making cute stuff shouldn't be so stressful!

I'm just going to get real honest, right now with you all... I'm a planner. I love to know everything there is to know about each park and where I should be when. Like I said in one of my earlier posts, Tour Guide Mike was exactly what I was looking for to help me plan a trip to remember.

Our plan (so far!) is to fly into MCO about 10:30CST. It's not ideal, but I figured saving $300 flying on Wednesday versus Thursday was worth it. So that's the way it's going to be!

Our first full day at the parks will be MGM day. My plan is to ride the Tower of Terror as a family. I hope that the kids will ride ToT, but I'm not betting on it. I think the theming is more the problem for them that the drop. I worry about poor C since she's so petite. I'm scared about different buckles and whether she'll even be held in sitting next to my big butt.

Next up? Dad can ride the Rockin' Roller Coaster (maybe with B, but I doubt she'll go on it with him) while I go get Fast Passes at Lights, Motor, Action! Stunt Show. If there's time before our show, I'm hoping to go on Star Tours. The idea of today is to do each person's favorite show and the two-three rides we'd like to do.

So, next is the High School Musical parade/show (B's favorite). I know there's a new show debuting this fall for HSM2: School's Out recent release, so that'll be fun to see. I'll have to cehck back with TGM after it's redone to make sure I know the best place to sit for the new show.

Next we'll use our FPs for LMA! Stunt Show (Dad's favorite). Then get FPs for Little Mermaid (My favorite) and eat lunch at Pizza Planet. Next is Beauty and the Beast on stage (C's favorite).

The Stars and Motor Cars Parade will still be the parade when we go, so that's perfect for us. Seeing all his favorite characters is A's favorite thing. By now, we'll be ready to use our Voyage of the little Mermaid fast passes.

If there's time, we'll wander around and do more things before our dinner ADR for Mama Melrose's. I decided NOT to do the Fantasmic package because the only ADRs they had were about 3:30. No thank you. After dinner, we'll go see the Osbourne Spectacle of Dancing Lights, then head back for the 8:30 showing of Fantasmic.

I think it'll be a long, but fun day. Any suggestions? Rides I should do, things I'm forgetting? Should I switch to the Sci-Fi Diner, or leave it Pizza Planet? I'm not sure I have time between an 11:50 show and a 1:30 show to get into the Sci-Fi, though... ​

Love your crafty ideas but a word of warning don't dress everyone in lome green you can't believe how many people choose that colour at WDW!!!

With the HSM show you need to get there really early to see anything

Thanks for the tips! I have written down 30 minutes for the HSM show. Is that enough?

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Here's a few people I "met" when we went to the wax museum a few weeks ago...

Me asking Oprah challenging questions...

Dr. Phil and I disagreeing on homeschooling issues...

It's a 25 minute show and you need to be there at least 15 mins early if not more!!!!!

Love the photos

Hi! I found your pre-trippie in another trippie and I thought I would check it out! You are sooo crafty! I wish I can make stuff. eBay is a great place to find everything a Diser needs to plan a trip of a lifetime....it is also a very dangerous place---I tend to spend more $$$ getting ready for the trip than the trip itself.

I can't wait to read more!

Your MGM day sounds great! I am a planner too, but am allowing Df to plan the disneymoon trip days... he is a sweetie and is trying to not give me more to stress about.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Love the crafty clothes! See sale at Disney Stores, gotta love it!

Your MGM day sounds great! Yes the HSM show/parade thingy gets packed very quickly. Luckily a lot of people are clueless that's it's about to come (at least that's been my experience the last 2 times) so when the parade/show starts then everyone sort of just flocks towards it.

LOL choking Dr. Phil.

I agree that eBay can be dangerous! The kids think the UPS guy is coming to Thanksgiving for how much he comes here!

That's sweet of him to try and take the stress off you a bit. over 11 years ago when we got married, I was so tired at our Disney honeymoon. Come to find out, once I got home, that I had mono relapse and was just run down from the whole wedding thing. Don't let that happen to you! Enjoy every minute and don't sweat the small stuff, girly!

Hmmm... I guess those peeps don't know how to prepare like us DISers! So sad...

As I mentioned on LauraLee's TR, I had my favorite drink from PF Chang's last night. I thought I'd share the recipe since she was interested. So I pimped my PTR over there with promises of the yummy recipe here. I know- shameless...


Lucky Cat Martini
6 oz Vanilla vodka
3 oz Pineapple juice
1 oz. Chambord

Shake vanilla vodka and pineapple juice together with ice, very briskly until the mixture is foamy on top. Pour into martini glass whilst straining and discarding the ice. Carefully pour the Chambord into the side of the glass ( the Chambord will sink to the bottom).
Very nice looking layered martini effect and a good stiff drink too Enjoy!!!

Do follow TGM's advice for viewing the pep rally.It was perfect! Do your kids like to draw?The class at the Animation building is one of my kids favorite things to do.We love MGM!Oh Yeah,my kids love the playground too.
