A Halloween Adventure in Autism (11/12) New Thread Begun on TR Board!

.....I think all of us October WDW go-ers are in planning limbo right now. Not ADR date yet, but close enough that most of us (not me, since I just booked our trip) have had our trips planned down to the minute for months now. :lmao:


Well... not reallly! :rolleyes1

I used to simply look at the park hours and entertainment schedules from the previous year and start fiddling around with itineraries so I could be ready for ADRs at 180 days.... but with all the changes and cuts Disney has been making.... the old schedules are completely unreliable now. :sad2:

Great, I have everything I need now. I will post some pics on my thread in the next day or two. Thanks for your great ideas.

Adaras crocs (I have athens and just dont love them, but love all my other crocs.)


Great!!
Can't wait to see it! :goodvibes

I find that the Adaras, while comfy, run a bit more true to size than the Caymens. (See below.) Caymens I ordered 1/2 size up for proper fit as my usual shoe size felt tight. I did that with the Adaras and they are a bit loose... good for around and about, but I wouldn't use them as park touring footwear. The various Crocs styles seem to fit differently, so I suggest trying before buying!

Oh, Billy listens to Christmas music all year long, especially the Chipmunks!! :lmao:

Kathy

I dont blame him. I absolutely love Christmas-everything about it and the music is wonderful. We have a local radio station that plays only Christmas music the entire month of December. DH doesnt get why they play it after Christmas, but I threaten him not to touch my station. :mad:
 
Great updates, I'm all caught up, whew!

Fingers crossed on the new bag, it looks fabulous and you will need that padded strap! I still vote for the locker :) lol!

How special the CD surprise is! My kids could watch Christmas movies all year, Halloween all year, I think it's fabulous. I might have to check out that CD.

I must complain though.

You just made me spend money.

All that flip flop talk.

My FAVORITE flip flops in the world, a pair of Keens that they don't seem to make anymore (but quite similar to the Waimea) dissappeared after our Grand Canyon trip last summer.

Which makes no sense. I wore them for 2 weeks, straight, we drove to the GC and back so I can't see how they could have gotten lost but....they are nowhere to be found. And I can't replace exactly what they were :(

I've been holding off and didn't break down for our Feb trip since I assumed they'd turn up. They HAD to be somewhere, I live in those shoes, now way I would have left them anywhere. I did get a pair of Privo Floats...I have to RAVE about those shoes if anyone is looking for a non tennis shoe, non croc or sandal option. These are mary-jane style and were absolutely perfect for the world...and now they worn all the time at home as well. Super pricey no doubt, I have them in bronze so they are on the dressy side which I wanted but oh...worth every penny and so cute with capri's!

But, back to my Keens. Sure enough, no go. They must be at the Doubletree in Pendleton Oregon. Or Red Lion. I can't even remember where we stayed the last night! Do you think 11 months later it's worth a call? Sigh. I did some major garage clean up last weekend and no go. WAH! What I loved about these is the covered toe so if you are hiking (or a klutz) they offer some protection which has come in handy more times than I can count! Pricey but worth it and thankfully they were not new last summer (though newer than I'd like for disappearing!).

I will second the Reef raves, DSD is a big Reef fan, as well as the Teva Mush of which I have a pair that I practically live in. They are so mushy! I love them.

So....I broke down. The Keens are in the mail.


Thanks a lot.

:rotfl:
 
what a spooky treat to get...have fun w/ that! :cool1:

Thanks, Julie! I'm listening to it right now while DISing!! Is it silly to be thinking about Halloween in June???

Not when you have a Disney World trip planned. :goodvibes I'm already thinking about New Year's! :laughing:

That Donald and Mickey are so adorable. What a great picture.

I have to force myself not to begin listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving, otherwise I'd get overloaded with it. I play my CDs... Billy has tons of holiday DVDs that are always on... and we have radio stations that play it 24 hrs, too. It's Christmas from Turkey Day until New Year's around here!!

Sometimes if we have a really bad heat wave, I'll announce that its Christmas in July and then its fun to watch a cartoon like Charlie Brown Christmas and listen to the Chipmunk Christmas CDs....

We'll crank the A/C and make Christmas cookies, too! :rotfl:

We're usually not all that gung-ho any more about seeking out character pix, but if the characters are going to be wearing their own Halloween costumes, I have a feeling I'm going to want to do a lot more character meets!!

They are so colorful! And I agree... the covered toe is a great feature! :thumbsup2

I just don't like the feeling of the toe-thong... I prefer slides.

Well, look at it this way: you're not just purchasing these for WDW, you'll be getting a lot of use out of them all summer long!!

Nope, not to the person who plans her Christmas display in August.

I start listening to Christmas in late Sept/early October if I can stand to wait that long. DH won't let me play it around him before Thanksgiving though.

Kathy

That reminds me of our 1st Christmas in the desert (we lived in Palm Springs CA for a few years - moved there from KY). DH rented a ton of Christmas movies, cranked up the AC, and got tons of yummy snack food that we don't allow ourselves to buy otherwise. We now have made this our "get in the Christmas spirit" tradition every year, usually the 1st week of December. Love the idea of Christmas in July, but I doubt DH would go for it!

Ahh, but do you still have your Christmas Village up on Valentine's Day?? :rolleyes1 That's what drives my DH nuts.... he thinks it should all come down after New Year's!

Why do all the decorations seem to go up so quickly, but then take forever to get put away?? :sad2:

LOVE the links to the Privos and Keens!! :thumbsup2
 
Your latest installment title made me start singing it to the tune of "So Long, Farewell" from The Sound of Music. ;)
 
I love the music from MNSSHP - I wish we had purchased the CD when we were there! Boo to you just sticks in your head for hours - and for some reason that doesn't bug me like getting other songs stuck in my head! ;)

You mean like, "It's a small world, after all... It's a small world after all...

It's a small world after all...

It's a small, small world!"
