A Safari Christmas Goes Pop! (w/pics)

[Raecheal]

Okay, so we went and ordered a pair of Crocs apiece. I ordered a pair of flip flops for now. See?

If I like them, I'll get a pair of the shoes, though I still don't know if I'll go more traditional or Mary Janes.

My DH ordered these:

He wants a pair of flip flops too, but opted to get the shoe version for now. Yeah! Our first purchase for the trip!!!!

Oh, I'd love to update my itinerary, but I just posted yesterday that I was going to wait. Oh, what to do? What to do?

I LOVE THESE FLIP FLOPS... I"m def. going to try to pick up a pair.

They come in other colors, too! I love the way they look, because they don't look all Croc-like, and you still get the comfort of them.

Sounds like great plans so far.

I LOVE CROCS!! I work 12 hour shifts in a hospital, and have worn only crocs for over 2 years. When I work nikes, my feet were always sore after a busy day. Not so with my crocs. I am a firm believer. I also wore them the whole trip when we were in Disney last Sept. and no problems there either.
I am the proud owner of about 5 pairs, and now I am wanting the chocolate brown and pink Minnie Janes!! I will have these before Disney!

There are a lot of different ticker count downs if you search for them. I have found a few geared towards Disney!

You design them and then copy the code and paste into your signature!
They have a ton to choose from. Have fun picking them out and designing.

Oh those sound great thanks for telling us that they now have Disney Mary Jane I will have to get a pair!!!
I know how you feel about standing in sneakers I did that for years and had clogs the hard ones and I will never change back unless they tell us we can't wear them. I work in a hospital too! I'm a lab rat! Well lab rat/ phlebotomist. So I am either standing or running!

Well that's one way to discover a new shoe style! I just went on the Crocs website, and I definitely think I'll end up getting a pair of Mary Janes before the trip. But, I absolutely loved the new santa cruz canvas shoe that comes in different colors and designs. I was thinking that if I really like Crocs, I may get some of those for work. It may make standing on my feet for much of my teaching days easier.

Those look cool. I haven't been on the crocs site since we bought our Disney Crocs last year! Everyone got a pair last year but my DH and by the time we left Disney he had a pair. Which he said he would NEVER wear out of the park... I find him all the time putting them on to run to the store!!

Well I am a respiratory therapist, so as you know we both spend most of out day traveling all over the WHOLE hospital!!

It's so good to know, from someone who is on their feet so much.* I'm excited about getting mine.* They should be arriving soon, since they where shipped last night.* I'll have to check out the Minnie Janes!* Are they on the Crocs site?

i'll have to figure out where they sell them in Canada. They are adorable..

Will the Crocs site not mail to Canada?* I went onto their website to check, and there's a section that has a phone number to call if you are in Canada and want to buy.* Here's the link: http://www.crocs.com/contact_us/customer_service/
Let me know if you get a pair.*

This is totally off topic, but i love your countdown.. how do you get one?

See Disney4xmas' suggestions.* The one I used was the one in the middle, magicalkingdom and I found it super easy to do.* If you need help though, just let me know.

Subbing - we'll be at AKL Dec 6-13!!!*BTW - my DW may disagree that you're the "njdisneyfreak" ...

How cool! We'll have to compare notes. As for your DW, I called the name first, kind of like calling shotgun.* You can't reverse it.* So, maybe I'll allow her to be njdisneyfreak#2.*

Thanks Disney4xmas for chiming in. I used the one in the middle, but there are a lot out there.

My DH was the same way, until we went last December to WDW. Then, he saw practically everyone with them. So, in that big store in the Studios, we both tried on a pair, to see how we liked them. Aw! So comfy. He vowed to not only got one pair by our next trip, but maybe two or three. Right now, we plan to each get a pair of shoes and a pair of flip flops. I may get a third pair. Who knows? This can become a Crocs craze!

The Internet was down all day, till now, and so I couldn't check the boards. Oh, the horror! I wanted to check my PTR and some of the other PTRs I've been on, but alas, I had to wait.

Now, I have other stuff to do. Can you believe my life is trying to infringe on my updates? So, I'll be back.

 

[bellasmommy0]

Yes the Minnie Jane Crocs are on the crocs website. And just a warning, sometimes it takes a few days to get used to the crocs because they fit so differently.

 

[Raecheal]

They come in other colors, too! I love the way they look, because they don't look all Croc-like, and you still get the comfort of them.

That is exactly why i loved them I am going to go this evening to the local mall and check out if any stores sell them.

THANKS. I got one!! I am so happy..

I think i may get a weight loss one next. So far i've lost close to 30 pounds (that was the hardest thing i had to do in my life).. but realistically i'd like to lose another 20 before all those pictures in WDW : )

Your ticker countdown looks good. Way to go on the weight loss! I lost 40 pounds last year, so I understand how hard that is. I am working on losing more before this upcoming trip. It's the only reason I'm glad that the trip isn't literally around the corner. Definitely continue on with your goal. Then, you can really celebrate when you go to WDW!!!

Let me know if you find any.

 

[Raecheal]

i'll def. let you know. If not i'll have to call that number from the website. : ) They are so adorable, i'm not too sure what colour i'll get, i really love the black and white, and brown but that coral (or peach) color is nice as well. Black and brown is more practical

 

[disneyaddicted]

Hey there old dis friend. It's been forever. I can see you are in planning mode now, I had to giggle at you not being able to sleep on the day you got to make your ADR's, can't really blame you though.

We almost ended up at Disney the same time this coming year, but I ended up canceling for this year and postponing it until Dec 2009, taking both kids this time. Yay Jim wants to go, can you believe it? Kent still the Disney Ogre is not going.

I am so excited for your plans, they all sound great. The ADR's yummy! i think Coral Reef is one of my favorites.

Have you heard anything about the new dinosour themed restaraunt in DTD due to open this fall? I wonder if it will be on the DDP?

I felt the same way when I was checking them out online. I gravitated towards the coral ones, because I just loved the color, but I went more practical, as you can see. Who knows? Maybe I'll get more of them down the road. I hope you are fortunate enough to find them tonight.

Hey, buddy!!! Great to see you again. You shouldn't have been surprised about my sleeplessness on the night before making my ADRs. It's a bummer that you won't be there in December of this year, but at least you'll have more time to plan for your trip. Also, you can live vicariously through me, and I'll do the same through you next year. That's cool that Jim wants to go, too! How did that happen?

I haven't heard anything new about the dinosaur themed restaurant, but my DH and I would both like to try it. I wonder if it will be on the dining plan. I hope so. If it is, then we'll have to rearrange our ADRs a bit to accomodate the new place. I love the concept of it. We'll have to wait and see. I have come across these two links about it, but not much is known except that it will be open by November and quite a bit of progress has been made:

http://www.trexcafe.com/ (This is the original restaurant, in Kansas, as far as I have discovered.)

http://www.wdwmagic.com/trex.htm (This is a website about WDW and this link keeps providing updates of the construction. Pretty cool.)

If you hear more news about it, let me know.

I began looking into the new attractions at the parks, since we were there last December. Of course, that included Toy Story Mania. When I exclaimed to my DH, "Do you know how long people are waiting to get in?!" Okay, in hindsight, I should have tempered my level of shock, because my DH immediately wanted to see how we could rearrange our itinerary to accomodate going to the Studios early enough at least once.

After looking through our itinerary, he seemed assured that we would get to experience the attraction more than once. Meanwhile, I'm still thinking Okay, just kidding! I stopped worrying quite awhile ago about ride length times. You do what you can and don't sweat the rest. Heck, it's WDW!!! Frowns and scrunched up foreheads just shouldn't be visible there.
