Anyone travelling in Sept?

[lgp1]

Ooh I'm going on the 2nd too! Staying at the Pop for two weeks, flying out with Virgin from Gatwick. It's my girlfriend's first trip and our first trip together, so I'm very excited!!

Hi Howellsy

We're also from Torfaen and staying at Pop from the 10th Sept

You are making costumes! What kind? Do a lot of people dress up? I've got to start thinking!

Yes! More people dress up for MNSSHP than they did for the PPP we went to. The parties take on a life of their own once you step into costume. The CMs interact with everyone, but more so with those in costume. You'll speak to more people too, in queues for rides or for candy. Had so many people ask me where I got my Tink costume from, only to tell them I made it, and then have a giant conversation about sewing/skills/how it looked good, that sort of thing.

As for costumes... 2007 PPP we went to, I went as Tinkerbell. Mum and cath had makeshift Jasmine and Aurora costumes. Last year's MNSSHP, I went as Giselle, and I made a (village) Belle costume for my sister. This year, I'm going as Aurora, my sister will be Snow White and my mum will be Cinderella... if I finish them all! haha And of course, we always do the BBB...

Ah wow, how strange! Where are you flying from? I've flown twice from Cardiff but I think they've stopped most of them now, so I'm flying from Gatwick I wish Virgin flew Cardiff/Bristol for cheap!

WOW! Your costumes are amazing! Especially the Giselle one!

I don't know if I have the confidence to go in full princess gear, but maybe a few accessories! Did lots of adults dress up?

Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures. Not long now till we get our park calenders with all the times and emh's. yahooooooo

 

[amberandolly]

94 DAYS TO GO.

Yes! There are always lots of adults dressed up, and even adults WITHOUT kids dressed up. It is definitely one of the more fun parties for dress up. Last year we saw several Jack Sparrows, a Snow White and Prince Charming, a family dressed as Mikey, Sully and Boo! Then there were those just wearing fun hats (like the giant princess hat with mickey ears), or just over-the-top tiaras/hair/hair accessories, etc

If you can get hold of a costume, go in full costume! It's the best, and let's face it, where else can you go out for the evening dressed up as a Disney character??? If you're worried about being the odd one out, you definitely won't be! Besides, you'll be having too much fun to worry about anything like that! Do it!!

Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures. Not long now till we get our park calenders with all the times and emh's. yahooooooo

Aww thanks! I do love my sewing machine! And I can't wait either. I am dying to get on with the detailed planning and booking ADRs. I feel so unprepared, seeing as I've usually been planned for three months by now, grrr!

Normally, there's only one flight per day in September, so as long as you're flying from Gatwick too, you guys should be on the same flight!

 

[craigs bride]

cool will have to wear something distincive, but then again our party is of 10 ...

 

[Twilight Terror]

Wear your lime green mickey head!!! Or something lime green. Like, buy some LG ribbon and tie it to your hand luggage!

 

[craigs bride]

great idea dont think hubby will like the exposure to much (he is quite shy when it comes to things like that )

 

[Twilight Terror]

LOL! We used to be shy too, until we started Dissing and Pin Trading! Now we strike up random conversations with random people all over the parks. Still won't do that while home in the UK though! So hopefully, it will all be different, because it's holiday, and maybe he won't be so shy!

 

[craigs bride]

mention bikes and he is yours lol!

 

[Howellsy]

I tried to ring Disney Dining just now and see if I could make a Le Cellier reservation for the first day I'm there, but after being on hold for 10 minutes and not being told how long my wait was, I gave up - I'm not going to be much good when I can book all my ADRs next month - I'm too impatient!

 

[gaylie]
