How many of you, and your DHs will be wearing them? And which night?? LOL I am tempted to hit the "order" button! DSs won't wear the matching shirts, but I could probably get DH to wear it. LOL

P.S. I'm wondering if the XXL dress will fit me! Do you know if they run big, small, average...?? I usually wear a size 18 women's dress. I know that sometimes the t-shirts from the Disney Store tend to run small...

Look at the Disney catalog under sizing, The dresses really are true to size, whatever size they tell you to order according to their standards, seem to work for me. We have the light blue tropical Mickey dresses and DH has the shirt to match, we have early seating and rotation may be different.

Good point!

I agree with Joanna about the rotations and seatings being different but honestly I think you will see alot of families in the light blue disney outfits since they are so cute, not too feminine for men to wear and have been on sale for a while....

I almost wish my kids shirt/dress from 3 years ago still fit and we would all wear those...DH and Mine still do... but I want us all to match.

Can you hear me screaming, can you see me dancing



My docs arrived today!

No upgrade, didn't expect it, just glad to actually have them in hand!

 

[winnyis]

Congrats Maryanne... it seems so much realer when the doc's are in hand..

I can understand that, Ginny! If my sons were younger, we'd all be wearing the matching outfits too


Mary Anne: CONGRATS!!!!!!

Terry...I see your countdown timer for your Voyager cruise, did you book it already? and when are you planning on going?

Yes, we booked the Voyager cruise while on vacation in NJ. We're in a category E1 cabin. My brothers and SILs have cabins right across the hall from us, in atrium cabins. We were going to get an atrium view cabin too, but at the last minute DH decided he wanted a balcony.

The sail date is June 17th, 2005. I'm trying not to think about that cruise right now, I still want to concentrate on our Disney cruise!

 

[winnyis]

Terry - you will love Voyager... I was on the sister ship Navigator last November and LOVED the ship...

If you love steak you MUST book a ressie at Chops Steak House - probably the best steak I have ever had and the tomato and blue cheese salad was to die for.

Good Morning everyone!

CONGRATS to those of you who have received docs in the last day or two!!!!

Just curious to know - how many people on this thread are going to be wearing those blue Disney dresses - I am, Ginny is and Terry may be...so that is a possible 3 - who else????

I tried to get DH to order the shirt but he said NO and got a different (cuter) shirt in WDW for tropical night.

For those Wildwood, NJ fans - need your input - I got a price quote for next summer for a 3 bedroom/2 bath condo in North Wildwood for $1100 for 8 days... is this about the running price for June???? Most of the condos we checked out online seem to range from $900-$3200 for the week. We are VERY excited to finally head back to the Jersey shore next year!

And a cruise question too.... Seasafe??? How many of you buy this? I heard sea lice and was almost ready to purchase it instantly but then figured I would check with the DIS family and find out from those of you with experience.

Less than 30 days now.....

Enjoy your day!

Melanie - I scrolled back a few pages and came up with the following list of DISers wearing the Blue Disney Store dresses/skirts

You
Paulinewdw
LYNR
MJASP
Karel
Me
My sister
Reeniey's sister
and maybe Terry


I didnt count the # of DD's, DS's & DH's but assume most of the ladies will have their families dressing the same


Ginny

We are down to an unbelievable FOUR weeks till our cruise!!! I can't believe it, after all this time, only a few weeks left!

Ginny: I can't wait to sail the Voyager! Last summer we were on the Nordic Empress which is RCI's smallest ship, and next summer we'll be on their largest! (Largest for now, they are supposedly in the process of designing and building an "ultra-voyager" class of ships!" I can't imagine that. LOL)

Melanie: I haven't ordered the tropical dress or shirt for DH yet. We already have a lot of clothes for the cruise, so I'm not sure if I should buy more. LOL

Regarding Wildwood, I think that's an excellent rate for that condo!! That comes out to a little over $137 per night! I don't think you can beat that!

 

[Karel]

I have the blue shirt. I'd have to take half of the dress off to fit me properly.

No one else in my family has the shirt/dress. I can see the rolling of the eyes now...we're all going to dress the same tonight!

Wildwood - what street is the house on? That seems like a decent price, depending on location.

I was thinking of getting SeaSafe also.

Karel, do you have the light blue top with just the Minnie Mouse embroidered in the center (it co-ordinates with the light blue print items), or did you order the button-down shirt (the men's shirt) for yourself? I actually thought about ordering either one of these for myself, and the matching button-down shirt for DH.

Just curious....Why would you have to take half the dress off to fit you properly? Are you very thin?? Don't answer if this is too personal of a question!

 

[Karel]

I bought the men's shirt for myself. Seemed more practical- I'll wear it more and it's great for work.

I'm short and heavy and the dress seems long. It seemed like I would have to take it up a lot so I would be comfortable but I was afraid it wouldn't hang right in other places.

 

[admepo]

Karel...the condo is on E. 24th Ave listed as one block from the beach. DH used Map Quest on the address and said it looks like a great location.

Ginny... thanks for the list. Looks like a lot of us will be matching that night.

Terry and Karel...I am short and not even close to being near the thin side anymore so I am hoping the dress will fit me! I ordered it last week and am waiting to receive it. If not I will try to alter it a bit and worst case - wear it anyway and ENJOY myself just the same! I am on a Disney cruise and PLAN to just have fun!!!! (that's what I am saying now but in the room while dressing I am sure to be in a panic if things look right or not lol )

Yes, my sister has that print too. KAREN. She lurks in here every so often,, but she works and has a life.. so she is not on here 24/7 like me,,lol..
She has the serong and knit top I think.
Melanie: I stopeed WW a few weeks ago when I was in Indiana . I figured I lost 30 lbs, and I can still eat well on my own before the cruise. When I am on theMAGIC I will eat whatever, and go back to WW after we get home..
because we are on VACATION!!!
25 days for us...

Melanie:

I just came back from 3rd and JFK which is right on the beach and I paid with tax $1226 for the week in an efficiency. 24th should be right at the boardwalk but the water is a long hike in that area after you hit the sand. Too long for me that is why I choose 3rd Street that beach is short and the ocean is right there. I don't like have to walk a 1/2 mile is the hot sand to get to the water.

SeaSpray "Terry":

I wear a size 18 and bought the XXL and it fits fine. I think it will be funny to see everyone wearing the same dress.
