MVMCP ticket? what is LTT? Help!

Glad you're enjoying the thread! I'm glad I have some readers!

MVMCP is Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Will you be going?

LTT is Liberty Tree Tavern, character dining at Magic Kingdom.

I remember when I didn't know what half of these abbreviations meant! You'll catch on quick!!

Oh, I am so excited guys! I just found a thread in Disneyworld Tips about decorating your doors and windows at the resort. I am SO going to do this. I want to decorate the window somehow incorporating our anniversary into it. And on the door I am going to do Mickey heads for other guests to sign. (Lime green for DISers of course!!) I hope maybe a few people from this board will see it!

Im making signs for our windows too.. DH thought I was a dork when I told him what I was doing I went and bought a lime green poster board.. I have a paper punch that makes big Mickey heads.. so I was going to make one for each person in each room and then I bought a fine point black sharpie and Im going to put one name on each mickey head.. I bought some thin red ribbon and will punch a hole in the top and string it thru.. I need to think of a theme and then get letter punches and do each letter in the lime green and arrange them somehow.. its all still in the works right now, but Im getting excited just thinking about it.

Oh that sounds great!! I haven't even told my DH my plans yet, I know he'll call me a dork. I wish I had some kind of paper punch. That would sure make it easier. I am going to go to Home Depot and rob them of their lime green mickey paint samples! I know I'm going to put them on the door for DISers to sign, but as far as the window, I just can't figure out how to decorate it for our anniversary, but still keep it exciting for the kids too!

I'll be there the same time as you - getting off the plane and going straight to MVMCP - praying that there are no airline or transportation delays.....we'll be there until the night of Thanksgiving.

I like the idea of the door decorations. we have always had the front desk deliver a card signed by Minnie with balloons put in the room (we were at Coronado both times we went, not sure if they will do it at POP). she got really serious and asked how Minnie got a key to our room!!!

thanks for the pre-trip report. I spent all this time stressing over my parks and dining reservations, but now I am thinking about changing all my plans...again. need a professional planner to just tell me exactly where to go and what to eat. we are doing the deluxe dining and it is hard to fit in 3 meals a day...sigh

So you will be at the party on the 20th? That is the same party we'll be at!

Make sure you look for our door at Pop! We'll more than likely be in the 50's section!

I could not even being to imagine the planning that would come alone with deluxe dining. Since we don't park hop, I'm sure that'd never work for us!! I get stressed out just trying to plan my one table service meal a day!! I hope you get your plans ironed out soon!

I found a great deal on a starter lanyard set at Disney shopping. I'm going to get the girls started with this hopefully.

Anyway, here is the link if anyone is interested. They are $5.00 and come with 2 pins. I'm going to buy some extra pins off of Ebay.

I bought a grab bag set of 25 pins to start my kids out last year. I think it was from pinseller.com. My kids really enjoyed it but they were a pain to wear around. I ended up keeping them in plastic baggies with me and just pulling them out when they felt like it. They were pretty heavy for me to kart around. Now they all have 12 pins (thanks to the grandparents) each. But they love all the pins they have so they don't want to trade anymore. The fiscally responsible side of me says great they are done and we can just leave the lanyards at home this year. It's the other side that is saying... lets buy another grab bag of pins and start again.

Hello! You have the MOST darling family ~ oh my goodness, you are going at the BEST time of year. This is going to be such a great trip. I am looking forward to reading more about your plans they are great so far

I am going to check that website out! Thank you. I'm afraid my kids will do that too, get some that they like and won't trade anymore. I thought maybe I'd carry around some extras in my purse in case that happened. I dunno! lol!

Thank you!! I'm glad you said it's a great time of year. I get such varying reports from people. Some say it's crowded, some say it's not. I'm used to going in the summer though, so I'm sure this will be great for us!!

Ok, so I've started working on my binder.

and the back...

I'm also working on some cute T-shirt ideas for us to wear to MVMCP! Once I finish it up, I'll post it here too!

Oh and Cindy was playing dress up today, she wanted me to share this pic,

 

[kathleen27]

I love her dress up outfit.
That's fantastic!

We are planning window decorations too.
I found that same thread earlier today!
Not sure exactly what we will do yet, just general ideas so far.
We made a visit to hd a couple of weeks ago!
Think we will need to go back though.

The pin buying & trading is addictive.
We liked buying more than trading.

You know, I have been trying to figure out for days where the nearest Home Depot would be for me. I thought the closest one was 45 minutes away. But I was talking to DH on the phone while ago and he said he was at Home Depot. I forgot that one just opened about 5 minutes from our house a few months ago!!!

I've just got general ideas for my window and door too! I'm glad I've still got a while to think about it. Thanks to this board, I have so many things to think about that I wouldn't have ever even imagined!

I am so excited to get into the pin trading. The more I think about it and look at stuff on ebay, I think I am going to do it too! It's neat that there are activities like that that are good for kids and adults!!

 

[irky416]

I finally got all caught up. I love your report so far! Your girls are adorable and the dress up picture is so cute! I can't wait to read more!

Im making signs for our windows too.. DH thought I was a dork when I told him what I was doing I went and bought a lime green poster board..

I just bought fluoresent green poster board last week. It's still sitting in my front hallway. DH hasn't noticed it yet and I'm sure would have the same reaction as yours but the kids sure want at it badly.

Isn't it sad that our DH's think we're dorks!

I am so excited!!! I posted a few days ago that I had found good deals on lanyards at disneyshopping.com. Well I just got 3 brand new lanyards on Ebay for $5.77 shipped!! 2 Fab Five, mickey and friends as kids, and they are kid lenght lanyards and one is a disney princess lanyard. They were .99 and I was the only bidder. Then shipping was 3.00 each, but since I bought 3, she only charged me shipping for one, so that knocked off $6.00. then I had a 10% coupon from Ebay! I am so excited, I got these at such a steal!!!
