[princess&her4princes]

Tren-D!! I want to go there, too!!! Looks fab!!!

Can't wait to see what you bought from ON and LB!! Will you share?

Great lists, and yay for Gabe's 1st roller coaster!!!!!!!! You guys are going to have SO much fun!! It's almost time!!!!

Aw, thanks! I think he's a keeper. I am actually getting to the point of feeling overwhelmed. I am ready with a lot of things, but realizing that there are still a lot of details I need to nail down. For example, DS must be going through a growth spurt be cause he has been eating non-stop lately. Since he's not 3 he won't technically be on the dining plan with us, so we'll share meals with him, but I also need to being a bunch of snacks and juices for him. I'm going to try to shop for all of that this weekend.

I have had the same thought with Amelia....when we go out to eat I usually order her something off of the kids menu. She is pretty picky and I can't say she will want to eat what we are so we might end up paying for her a meal oop.

Trend-D - yes that's it! Thanks! I will definitely share what I got. I'll post links in a few minutes. I just hope something fits.

I won't be surprised if we end up ordering a lot of stuff for Gabe OOP - that's OK though, it's still cheaper than having to buy him his own tickets.

Great choices and bonus they were all on sale

that everything fits perfectly

 

[Gabrielsbigtrip]

Like your stuff....hope they all fit perfect for you

I should have checked Old Navy myself for board shorts! Too late now

Oh and I will definely have to check out the TrenD story in DTD! I wonder if they take the gift card I will get on my B-day

I think there is a doggy store too. I want to pick my mom's new puppy up something fun too


NOTE TO SELF...GET BACK TO WORK I can't stop DISing I am so excited we leave so soon

 

[Gabes_mommy]

My packages just arrived and there's good news and there's bad news. The good news is I am a smaller size than I thought, which is always nice , the bad news is all 3 pants from Old Navy are WAY too big. I absolutely LOVE the capris and top from Lane Bryant though. The pants are too big also, but not hugely so. In fact I think they'll be perfect for an expanding waistline due to the dining plan.

Overall, I am really happy. Now between the stuff I had and the things I got that fit I feel confident that I have enough cute outfits for the trip. I am going to make some cute matching costume jewelry for my new outfits too.

Adorable!!!!!!! Love it....hope they fit great and you love them!!

Thanks!!!

Best of all both stores even had 30% off the sale prices last weekend too so I got some great deals. I love a bargain..it leaves more money for Disney.

I am so happy.

Last night I planned out all of mine and DS's outfits for the whole trip. What a relief! I am so happy I have cute stuff to wear. For our last trip I just wore scrubby stuff so I am excited to be looking at least slightly more stylish this time around.

Fridays at my job are usually pretty slow so I am hoping to type out the trip schedule/agenda for my family this afternoon and I can post it here too if anyone is interested.

the schedules look great.

 

[Gabes_mommy]

the schedules look great.

Thanks! It fun was making it. To me the planning is such a fun part of a Disney trip. It shocks me that my DH and parents just let me do all the planning without giving any input. I guess they know I'll do a good job and they can just go along for the ride.

Big day today - I am going to start packing mine and DS's bags and my dog-sitter is coming over today to meet the dogs. I have a 10 year old pug named Gigi who has severe anxiety problems and the only other place she can stay is my parents house but since they are going with us I had to find someone to stay here to take care of her. We tried to leave her with my inlaws last year and she almost died from a severe anxiety attack, and she knows and likes my inlaws. Poor old girl. So this year I asked a really nice college student I have known since she was 14 to stay here and take care of Gigi and my parents' little dog Farley.

Exciting News!!!

Over breakfast DH agreed to getting Annual Passes instead of the 3 day passes we were planning on getting. I am so excited!!! Now I should be able to talk him into a spring trip for sure.

 

[jmkford4]

That is awesome! You are so close now!!!

Woo - hoo!!! CONGRATS!!! You're sooooo lucky. I seriously don't think I could ever live in Florida. I was dying in 83 degree weather here in colorado today, but it would be AMAZING to live as close to Disney as you are. You should come out in March now.
