Shopping trip!
I mentioned earlier that while shopping for movie night items, I bought a few things that solved my dilema on what to do for Demetri's MNSSHP costumes. The first question being should I get him one or two costumes? Ariana had two... should I get him two?
If I did, what would they be? It (they..?) had to be something he wouldn't lose or take off half way thru the party - no props, no hats, nothing covering his face and nothing that would be too hot.
He wanted to be a pirate for sure and I thought it'd be an easy costume to shop for once POTC4 came out.... right?
Not so much. Nothing was meeting my criteria. 
Shopping at Party Packagers (which is where I found Ariana's costume as well) I came across a bin that had lots of different pirate items in it, meant for putting a party together. In it I found these simple items....
A bandana that ties up in a knot in the back - light material so it won't be too hot. He wore a similar one before to go see POTC4 so I know he'll wear it. A scarf I can tie off on his waistband and pirate temporary tattoos.
He can wear black shorts and I decided to try and find him a DISign for a shirt. I found this one! I'll try and find a brown tshirt to put that on.
One costume decided.... and now the other one. Still at Party Packagers, I found two items that helped me choose the second one.
Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger cuffs and a blow up jet pack / wings thingie. I might later decide against the jet pack/wings but for now they're coming. A quick stop at the Disney Store and I picked up these too.
Buzz jammies and light up goggles. They have an adjustable strap and he can prop them on the top of his head like sunglasses. Costume number two wrapped up!
The Disney Store was having a sale.....
This was still 40% off so I picked up this chip and dip bowl.
Demetri was thrilled to get this Phineas and Ferb shirt - he LOVES this show.
These were part of a deal with the Buzz jammies - one set for $24.50, two for $30.
Then it was off to Zellers that was having a storewide clearance sale and I picked up a stroller and some pool towels.
I had a dollar store jaunt in there somewhere and I beefed up my glowstick collection.... (whoops, not the sparklers -they're for our Canada Day celebration coming up next week!)
.... and packing everything away into my suitcase, I couldn't remember if I showed you all these guys yet....? We had the two trick or treat bags already and I got the red mickey bag for myself for $2.50. We'll use them at the MNSSHP parties for our trick or treat loot.
So I knocked a few things off the to-do list, but I'm most happy about getting Demetri's costumes decided.
Coming up soon.... day 5 plans!

It cracks me up when I see that in TRs! 
I hope you get to do it for Henry! Demetri just discovered the rest of the chocolate coins I'd stashed away. 
Easy, fun and light are exactly what I'm looking for this time! What were your costumes?
Thank you!! I looked it up and apparantly it has something to do with the colour dyes used in the decals. Child specific, it can cause minor irritation -- needless to say we'll be testing it out on an inconspicuous area first to see if he reacts to it.
Aren't the jammies cool for costumes? They were selling just the Buzz shirts too but it ended up being less to buy the jammies because of the sale. 
We have had breakfast here but not dinner so it will be a new experience for us. 
on the actual day, I still want to get something small for her here. I think the best choice for her will be the glass slipper. Ive heard differing things about when to order it ranging from before you leave home to the time you sit at your table, so I think Ill order it from home and confirm it the day we check in. 
Ive never done this... oh and theres a CM in costume outside the Haunted Mansion...?? Ive never seen Cinderellas carriage either. We last went to a MNSSHP in 2007 pre-DIS so I had no idea those things were even there!
