OMG! They are just too cute.. I have to go over there when i am ready to Go!!! def need some of them!!!
Yes you do - she is so awesome!
I can see why Alli was afraid, not your average first character experience. I was so worried about my kids being afraid of the characters on their first visit. We planned the character dinner at 1900 for our arrival day so Casey (and Curtis) got to meet Cinderella and Prince Charming. This was before the Steps were there so they also got to meet Perla and Suzy.
PS - didn't see any water bottles in that picture either.
LOL - yes you are right, it wasn't the average first character experience. Awww about Casey and Curtis' first character experience.
Prayers continue for Kat.
What a great photo. Your girls and your second favorite guy. I do wish you could find the characters in their traditional clothes these days.
I know - I agree. Kind of sad that they did away with them.
I have never rented a locker or been there in August so I'm not sure about the crowds. Honestly, we never seem to be able to make it rope drop at MK. I think we have only seen the show twice, we usually get there right as the show is ending. I do hope you can stow your stuff before they drop the rope and I think the receipt tip is a great tip. Bringing a backpack is a good idea because I'm sure you will wan to change and bring your mugs just in case. It seems the policy is changing everyday. They will probably have the power-ade a the drink station at the Poly.
I will try... The rough part is that this is our first full day there - so Maybe I will pack this bag before we even leave the house, that way it will be ready to go the next morning and I won't have to worry about it. Now... To find a bag. LOL
These headbands are amazing. The detail is over the top. These are so much nicer then anything you see in the parks. Your pictures do them justice. Can't wait to see the rest of your stuff.
I love them too! They are so much fun! And the best part is that I was able to send her a photo of the fabrics I was using - and she was able to coordinate them with my bags. How awesome is that?
I'm a long time lurker on your trip report. Allie's bag is beautiful. You bags are all amazing.
Welcome!!! It's nice to meet you!
I've made bags for several people at work but no where near that detailed. I quilt befor cutting out the pieces, though.
Awesome!!! What kind of bags do you make?
We have a few other things in common, too. One being I also work in Electronics but at
Walmart. Our schedules are posted on line, which is really nice. After your remark about when you worked , I had to check tomorrows's schedule to see when and where I work. Sometimes I work in photo or wireless phones, too.
Hahaha... Yah - "technically" I am a photo lab team member, but now that all of our labs are "dry labs" - everything is mostly automatic, so we spend the majority of our shift helping out in electronics or doing odd jobs around the store.
I'm also going to to Disney this year, but in September. I only have one daughter and she's grown up and getting married in May.
Liz
Yay for a trip in September... Is this a solo trip? Or are you going with the family? Congratulations to her on her engagement!
Thanks for stopping by - it was nice to hear what we all have in common.
I saw a pic on another thread of an UP! neckless that matches that headband. she said she found it on etsy.
Oh really??? Do tell - I would love the link.
Unfortunately....that is what the opening holding area looks like all the time. It was that crowded even on our 2 and 3 days in February. But you know the crowd moves fast, so you should be alright.
You could always carry the backpack with you for the first must do rides. It won't be that hot first thing. Then go back to the lockers after the first couple hours.
What are you going to have in it? Just your change of clothes for later? You can come over to the Poly and drop it off in the morning...then ride the monorail over with us for the opening show.
Whatever works
I plan to have a change of clothes in it for each of us, a pair of shoes for each of us, and maybe our mugs?
Are you in MK all day that day?
Maybe we will just have to go right instead of left for once? LOL All we do is go straight up to the train station anyways, and wait for them to clear the train (which takes forever) - but then we ride the train back to Frontierland to begin our day on the mountains.
We don't know exactly what is going on with Kat right now. It seems that the doctors have decided not to do the procedure for 3 -4 months. And, we don't know if she is going back to rehab or not. She still definitely needs pt, st and ot, but she may be released to go home to her dad's house. I'll keep you posted when I know something else. Thanks for your good thoughts and prayers.:
Edit: Kat's surgery is now scheduled in 4 weeks. Her dad is trying to get her back into the rehab hospital since she still needs intensive rehab. She did stand up, walk and even climbed practice stairs for her physical therapist today. She (the PT) had tears in her eyes. Kat has made tremendous progress in the last 2 weeks!
Oh wow!!! Thanks for the update Tess - I did not see it yesterday. Praying that everything falls into place for Kat... I cannot believe how much progress she has made - what a determined young lady!
After bag check inspection go immediately to the right just past Guest Relationships to the stroller rental area rent your locker and get rid of the bag Take DDs with you IMHO there will be crowds, the "slow season" seems to be a thing of the past
There are so many posts here I basically skimmed so not sure if it was mentioned in DHS there are smaller lockers also just OUTSIDE the main entrance of the park near the bus info bldg, prior to security check point ( kind of silly my opinion ) but there it is if needed
ROBO must have a post somewhere with all locker dimensions These are a self serve type of thing just need quarters
Thanks Ruthie... I think I will just do that at MK... As hard as it is for me to go "right" instead of "left" - I will just have to do it.
The Up fascinator headband is fabulous. DH loves the whole sequence without dialogue. He trained as an artist (and still has the eye of one) and this is one of his examples of how animation can be used to the greatest effect. No words, all visual and music and can get a whole story across without words.
Yes, I love that too!
Whoot for the countdown!! And good luck getting everything good to go.
About your schedule at Target; is there a way they could email, or have it posted on an employee page?
I wish... I talked to a couple of friends yesterday, they said they would check my schedule for me if necessary. It's very frustrating, but I am glad they are willing toh elp me out.
What fun headbands! I love them!! I'd have to pick some up but unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for me Sarah is more of a bow girl. She complains about headbands saying they hurt behind her ears.
Loving the old pictures. It's fun to see the girls looking so little!
I was very surprised about these headbands, I don't know where she gets them, but the girls always have the same problem - and these don't hurt, they are very nice.
I love the headbands.
I am excited to see your next bag
I actually did a little sewing yesterday for my DH (I fixed his pants) and I embroidered names on towels for my nephew. today I want to work on something for our trip
Yay!!! Glad you were able to get some sewing done! I hope you get lots done for your trip!
**********************************************************
So, even though I went into work yesterday (and I wasn't on the schedule until today), I was able to get home at a decent time and work in my sewing room most of the day.
I made a huge dent in my custom order bag.
Then at about 3pm I switched over to my park bag... And I made huge progress on that. Since I didn't have any quilt batting until yesterday morning, I was working on other parts of my bag that I could do with out it. So, my interior is completely finished... I even learned a new zipper insertion technique, that I like better than the one I used in the past... This is not for my regular zippers - this is for the zippers that I put in the lining of my bags (upon request only). I am super happy with how the interior turned out! Then, after dinner, I finished quilting the remainder of my bag and I also made my strap. So, all I have left to do on that is the applique and final assembly.
Oh, and after dinner, I cut out a different wallet... Some of you may have seen the wallet that
Nowellsl posted on the Disboutiquers thread a few days ago? I just loved it - and thought it would be perfect for our upcoming trip... So, I cut that out and got everything ready for it. I have not decided if I am going to add an applique to it or not? I probably will - but I don't know what it will be?
It was kind of a long day for me yesterday... To top it off - I am starting to come down with a summer cold... Sigh... Sneezing, coughing, headache... I'd rather get sick now and get it over with, than to have this going on at Disney. So... BRING IT ON!
So... Today is really the day I work at Target... That's all I will say about that.
Disney Fridges: Yikes!!! I don't know what to do about this... I am soooo worried. I was really depending on having a fridge to keep Alli's drinks cool. I have no idea how I am going to keep her cool in the first place, then to have this on top of it, I am really scared for her. You all know I have been fretting over this for months, and worried about her being so prone to overheating... I just really feel like this is icing on the cake. Any insight here would be appreciated.
**********************************************************
Today's picture... Alli lost her fear of the Villians... LOL And seriously - Photobucket is not rotating my pictures... Grrrr....
I hope you all have an awesome day and prayers go out to everyone!
D~
I'd forgotten that I am making my bag 1" wider than I normally do. Sigh... So, I need to get more quilt batting when I go to town today. Rather than let that deter me, I quilted my interior pocket and started assembly of the interior of my bag. 
Can't afford to waste any time - it's crunch time! And V's bag is going to take me 2 full weeks - minimum! 
What a great photo. Your girls and your second favorite guy. I do wish you could find the characters in their traditional clothes these days.
