Jamie, great plans! and shirts....

I have been looking for dis signs not having much luck finding who does name fills,. I had seen some I really liked last year and can't relocate.

I can't believe you guys will be there in just 2 months, so exciting!!!

Have a great day! we are probably heading to Audubon Zoo today to enjoy this beautiful day....

Your plans look good. I love the character breakfasts, allows you to make the most of your day! I can't believe that your trip is only 2 1/2 months away, especially thinking that summer will be here and the kids will be out of school.

Great job on the tees! I really like to make them for the kids. Have you found a brand on iron-ons that washes well. I find that sometimes when I wash them the ink runs or fades. If you have any tips I am all ears!

Have fun at the zoo. It's a beautiful day

I will post the disnames who I got the disigns from when I get home this afternoon.

I can't wait til our trip.

 

[BelleTinkMom]

I know, it's been awhile. I hate that life gets in the way sometimes. I wish I could just plan for our trip without having any interruptions.

I did manage to find some great invitation disigns for our ADR's from wendypooh (disname):

We only have 57 days left til our trip. and i hope it will pass so fast.

I have so much to do before then. I also came up with this cool idea.
I bought my girls a bag for them to carry on the plane. I will put items in there to keep them occupied for the plane ride, like their iPods and Ds. I also have found so many cool disigns and I can't use them all on shirts. So, I bought these white travel pillow cases and I will make a collage of all the cool disigns on the pillowcases and it will be a surprise for them in their bags.

I will post some of the disigns.

 

[longing2Batdisney]

cute invites Jamie! and I love the pillowcase idea
57 days is going to pass so quickly!!! how exciting
I need to get on here and find some disigns. thanks for the PM I will need to ask her to do Ashton's name out of all the name's she had his was not one of them.

Have a wonderful day!

Hey Connie,

So glad someone is still out there reading my PTR that I sometimes forget about because I am so busy. We are in Lafayette this weekend and Mobile next weekend for dancing.

Hopefully this week I can print out the disigns for the pillowcases and get those ironed on and then I can post them.

So happy to see some Louisiana Disers on the boards and especially some Tiger fans!! We are originally from NOLA, but live in BR now. Being close to the Tigers has its advantages Would love to do Dis meet one day!

I love your banks and countdown calendar, I will be making one for our family trip in december and really want the kids to save their change for their Disney spending, great idea!

The Disigns are great! I love making my own, it is my creative outlet!

Your plans are great and i look forward to seeing the rest of your PTR as you post.

 

[laashley]

Love the invites!

Great idea on the pillow, I'm sure the girls will love it.

Thanks for reading. Sorry its taken me sol long to post a reply, my internet's been down. Hopefully it will be fixed today. I am quickly posting while at work.

I would love to live closer to BR, but at least we are just 2 1/2 hours away.

I do have some updates to post, so hopefully tonight.

Love the invites!

Great idea on the pillow, I'm sure the girls will love it.

Hey Ashley. I almost have the pillowcases ready. Hopefully I can finish tonight and my internet should also be fixed by this evening and I can post pics of them.

I finally have time to post pics of the pillowcases that I made for the girls on the plane.

I had to be sneaky about doing them because I wanted them to be a surprise. I am slowly filling their bags with goodies. Hope this will keep them occupied on the plane.

There is so much to get done in the next few weeks. We leave in 19 days. WOW!

I am so proud of myself with packing. I have purchased and gathered all of our toiletries into a basket and just need to put them in ziplock bags and into the suitcase. I am resisting taking the suitcases down from the attack until the week before we leave. I just don’t have the room to have them out before then.

We are camping this weekend. It is nice and quiet. A few pics I took this morning. The insisted on swimming even though the water was freezing.

Ok guys, its getting to be that time. Only 12 more days.

I have been really busy and still have a lot to do.

I did some shoe shopping today. I went to the shoe store and got a great deal. The flip flops were buy one and get one half off, so Jaden and I got each 2 pairs and I got Madison one pair because hers weren’t on sale. I think all of my shopping is done. Tomorrow I will pull down a couple of the suitcases and start packing the things I can.

I did receive our Mickey Mail and our Magical Express tickets a couple weeks ago. We only received one luggage tag per person for our Magical Express. We are flying Southwest and we can check two bags each for free. We may not be bringing 8 suitcases, but probably 5 or 6 and we only had 4 tags. I called Disney and she told me that I would need to call Magical Express but that they only allow one tag per guest. What!! I know that I had more than just 4 tags before, but maybe they changed the number you are allowed. So she transferred me to Magical Express and the great castmember said that she would put some more in the mail for myself and my mother-in-law, because she only received 2. So now I have 8 tags and my MIL has 4. We are all set.

In the next 12 days, I will be so busy, it won’t be funny. Madison turned 6 yesterday, on Friday the 13th and her party is next Saturday. She wanted a Chuckie Cheese party which is cool with me because I don’t have to have all those kids over at my house and entertain them. Then on Sunday, we are having a 60th Anniversary party for Shannon’s grandparents. It will be in the late afternoon, so hopefully they won’t stay long. That’s not including we have dancing 4 days a week right now and still have homework.

I also made the girls some Pressed Penny tubes as a surprise to put in their bags.

Jaden’s

Madison’s

I found these from some great Disigners. Printed them on some full sheet labels, cut and they fit perfectly. I did print first on regular paper to be sure they fit.

 

[laashley]

Wow! Can't believe you have just 12 days left, and a busy 12 days it will be!

The pillowcases turned out so cute!

Happy Birthday to Madison!!!

 

[BelleTinkMom]

Down to 9 Days today. Yay! Single Digits.



Did online check-in this morning. Took me a few hours to do it. Everytime I logged on, it wouldn’t show my reservation. Finally after lunch, it appeared. It wouldn’t show my in-laws reservation today while I was at work. I tried again tonight and it worked. So now we are both checked in. Just hoping that all our plans stay the same.


Shannon’s uncle had prostate cancer last year and was in remission. He went work in India for about 3 months and ever since he came back, he was not feeling well. He went through all kind of testing and it showed his cancer was back and it had spread to his liver and another organ (I can’t remember). He has been going through treatments, but it wasn’t looking good. He was back in the hospital last week and they sent him home today with hospice. They give him a couple of days.

Wow! Can't believe you have just 12 days left, and a busy 12 days it will be!

The pillowcases turned out so cute!

Happy Birthday to Madison!!!

Now its just 9 days.

Thanks on the pillowcases.

I am excited for you. I have been depressed since we returned from an 8 night visit that ended 5/8/11. We live in Pascagula, MS and I have some Dis friends that live between here and Biloxi-so we met from time to time. ONe of our Dissers is a huge LSU fan and my parents have best friends that have the season tickets. All of the invitations are precious and I love the t shirts and pillow cases. I am so excited for your cruise as well. You TR has been so easy to read. Just wanted you to know we fly SW too.

DH doesn't like to sit still so we fly. We drive 2 hours west to New Orleans to take those direct flights 1:45 minutes east. I know that is crazy but it works for us. We will return to WDW Oct 28- Nov 4 and I booked our flights this weekend. Take care and have a wonderful trip next week.

I am very sorry to hear about your Father and Uncle. My FIL had a wonderful last trip to DW in 2004 with all of us. We still talk about it. I am very close to my MIL now and my parents are going with us in Oct.
