[jenny105]

We have some of the same park days! We're going to MNSSHP on the 30th and we'll be in Epcot all day on the 1st too.

 

[wdwgirl3]

Yep, we're in South Surrey, about 5 minutes from the border crossings. Where are you in MB?

We are in Winnipeg! we moved here about 5 years ago? boy, I sure do miss the mountains, but not the traffic!

Traffic isn't bad here, but we avoid Vancouver like the plague

I took a look at our draft schedule and....

Sept 29 - Arrival day. Checking in *SURPRISE* with the Royal Room! Then off to DTD on the boat for some shopping and dinner at RainForest Cafe!

We'll probably be at DTD in the late morning/afternoon this day too (we'll probably be trapped by our boys in the Lego store and Ridemakerz )

Oct 7 - Relax day! MAYBE sending the boys with Nana and Papa to Universal Studios! (I am NOT interested in the crowds!) If they go then me and Princess will do girl stuff
ADR: 1900 PARK FARE for dinner with Cinderella, the Prince, evil step mom and step sisters!

This is our POR hang out day

Oct 8 - TODAY IS CANADIAN THANKSGIVING! SO we plan to spend the day at Epcot and we're gonna wear our Canadian shirts! Epcot is 9am-9pm!
ADR: LA CELLIER!

We're planning to be at Epcot later in the day (going to DisneyQuest in the morning/early afternoon) and having a Le Cellier ADR. Dh says he wants to be "in Canada" on Thanksgiving

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww That made me happy. lol I'm such a goof!

Awesome. I think our flights will get to MCO around 2:30 so gotta get on ME and to POR. Then check in and get on the boat. So I figure it will be like 4:30/5:00pm before we get to DTD.

Well I am sure we're gonna run into each other at POR then! I've got enough pics on here that you'll spot us easily I'm sure!!! Definitely come say hi! I'm not shy!

haha That's what I want to go there too!!!! lol We're also gonna wear Canada gear that day too! And tell everyone we see Happy Thanksgiving! lol

Aw man!


The BLACK shirt with the red minnie bow....I've only wore once...DIED in the wash! It said you could wash it inside out and tumble dry. NOPE! When I pulled it out of the dryer the whole design was gone....you can slightly see the bow!


I'll post a pic tomorrow!


BUT I did contact DisneyStore. They are giving me a $20 credit to buy a new shirt but unfortunately they don't have the shirt on the website anymore. Argh! But I can wait a little bit and see if it comes back or if I like something else.

 

[oboedm]

So sad that that happened to your shirt! I am glad that the Disney Store gave you something, though. The shirt was so cute! I am sad it was ruined!

 

[PixieMama]

Oh, that's a major bummer! But glad the Disney Store was able to give you a credit. Hopefully you'll find something just as cute!

It was the black one (not the really cute white one) that got ruined. I'm thinking I could try and find some red glitter glue (for fabric) and try to make the shirt unique for myself!

But yes I was really happy that they gave me a credit for a new shirt. I kinda wish I had said the shirt was $30 not $20. It was on sale but the same shirts as this one are usually $40.

 

[smile4stamps]

Ugh!! On the t-shirt! Awesome they are giving you the $$ so you can get a new one! I probably wouldn't try for the same one again though as it would probably just happen again.

I agree on both points!

 

[Stan Solo]

So sad to hear about your shirt. I do however realy like your glitter glue idea and think it would be fun project. At least it wasn't the white one.

[Stan Solo]

Looks like you have some great ADRs planned! One thing to be aware of is for some reason Rainforest Cafe and T-Rex has been having some issues with Disney's on line ADR sight. You may have to call the restaurants directly if you are unable book online. Rainforest Cafe AK (407) 938-9100, T-Rex (407) 828-9739.

I'm sure you know this already but are you on the dinning plan? LeCellier for lunch is one dinning credit and two for dinner. As I said I'm sure you knew this already but better safe then sorry. I would be so cool if they do something special for Canadains at LeCellier for Thanksgiving. Especially if they are wearing Canadaian t-shirts.

Also Oct 1st at EPCOT will most likely be very, very busy but it might be worth to stay a bit longer if Disney announces some sort of special fireworks display. I'd suggest keeping that day open for changes depending on what Disney has planned for its EPCOT guest. This could truly turn out to be a once in a lifetime experience. My guess is this is why they have EMH at MK on this day to divert some of the crowds from EPCOT.
