Sounds like a great trip. You'll love owners locker. We have used them on two trips now and I can't believe all the room I save in the suitcase.

Relaxing is not something I do easily or well That's one of the reasons I enjoy a WDW vacation so much. I'm not capable of doing nothing for any amount of time. WDW is a doing things vacation, but it's still a vacation!!

************************************

I got Mickey Mail today

I got the exchange vouchers for the AP's I ordered last week! I'm super excited it means I'm 1 step closer to this trip!!! ​

I can totally relate to the "non-relaxing" approach to things. I think that's why I've always liked WDW, too. So many choices, So little time!

Congrats on the AP vouchers!

I try my best to relax at WDW. I do better in a doing something relaxing state then in a sitting and doing nothing relaxing state. I know I'm weird but I'm just not a do nothing type of person.

I was so excited to get those AP vouchers in the mail!! I love me some Mickey Mail!! Anyday now our ME stuff should be arriving that will make me super-duper happy

I can't believe your 1 day away from your grownups only trip!!! I hope your super excited! Have a great time!! I can't wait to hear all about it!

************************

For the time being I'm going to post a small update!!


Today is one of those days I like to celebrate in a little way....

Ok, don't look at that for too long!! It may give you a headache!!!

Hopefully I'll be back in the next few days with another update!! I'm hoping to get sometime over the next few days to sit down and try to figure out what the heck I'm doing about our January ADR's!! But, that requires that a nosy 8 year old who is sharp as a tack not to be anywhere around me!!! So, that maybe a feet of epic proportion!!! ​

 

[KathyRN137]

Woo-Hoo for Forty Days!!

[eandesmom]

Happy 40!

that does hurt my eyes though



I can SO relate to the nosy 8 year old!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Congrats on 40 days...

I find that blinkie... oddly hypnotic...

I loved your last post...very stream of consciousness...I write like that sometimes too...another fine example of the Disney creep of day adding......I LOVE IT...

Yipppeeee!! Creeping every so close....

LOL!!! I tried to slow down the movement but it didn't work!!

DD is terribly nosy!! She's super smart and very intuitive!! She picks up on the smallest little hint of things!! She "knew" I was pregnant with DS2 before we told her and her brother! DH and I were sooo careful not to say anything about it with her anywhere nearby!! I'm pretty sure she has a good idea that were going in January but I think the trip next month has thrown her off a little! THe biggest problem is she can read really well and really fast, if she's near when I'm on Dis she picks up on things!!

LOL!! Don't go into a trance while looking at my PTR!!

Your too funny!!! All those changes and flip flopping was just super crazy!! I'm suprised my head still isn't spinning!!!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Hi all!!! I back with another update!! I have a 2 things to report on!! You must forgive me in advance! If this report comes out rather disjointed, jumbled and general doesn't make sense it because we've been passing some sort of cold bug around my house and it's now settled itself one me! Sooo not cool! I'm not sure I can make sense right now but I'm going to give it a shot!!

Yesterday I got some more Mickey Mail!



Yippeee skippy for ME tags! I find it interesting that they only send one perperson now. They used to send 2. I guess because so many airlines charge for even 1 checked bag now!

I'm also wondering what else I get. I know you usually get that packet with the booklet in it. I'm just not sure if you get that with DVC or what you get at all!

Next...

Those of you who have PTR'd/TR'd with me before know I have kind of a creative streak in me that sometimes runs amuck!

I've been at it again


The kiddos tye-dye mickey shirts!!!


One of our Halloween tees! We'll be wearing these on Halloween morning to AK!


My glass slipper to accompany my Cinderella gown! The picture shows a tiny bit of the glitter that I added to them along with the rhinestones! Lookout! These are some sparkly shoes


One of the NY Giants tees I made for the boys for game day! DH will be watching the game in our room while I take the kiddos to DTD


This is my crowning achievement of this round of stuff DD's Tink outfit!! I have a matching shirt It's hard to see in in the picture but tink sparkles and so do the capris!

I'm working on something for DD to wear to 1900 Park Fare because she thinks shes too mature to wear a princess dress I'll share that when it's finished!

Then I have to get to work on the pieces I need for the rest of our halloween costumes! Especially DS6's Sorcerer Mickey costume!! THankfully my parents will be arriving from PA tomorrow! My mom is a wonderful seamstress/quilter and I'm hoping she'll be able to guide me through the easiest way to make the robe!

Thats it for now! I have been working on our plan for Jan but I don't have it in me to try and explain it now! I'll save that for a different post ​

 

[eandesmom]

the Tink outfit is ADORABLE!

Love your glass slippers

Mickey Mail!

 

[ILuvCrush]

I just Love the outfits!!

U R one very talented chicka!

Can't wait to see the costumes

I am leaving Monday....I recieved nothing except my one lonely ME tag from DVC.... I called to get another...but haven't gotten it yet, so now I'm trying to figure out how to pack ALL my clothes in a carryon, so I don't have to claim my bags! I thought it would be easier taking 1 suitcase with my Owners locker Stuff, and 1 with mine rather than shipping it down,or shopping for it there....eek!

[jenjolt]

WOW you aren't kidding when you say you are creative and everything looks so lovely!! WOW I'm jealous of your talent!!!!!

It's always a great day when you get Mickey Mail!!! Got to love it!!!!!

I'm really excited to hear more and more about your trip!!!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Congrats on the Mickey Express tags- it makes it so real doesn't it...

I love your clothing...especially your glass slippers and your dd's tink jeans...


Ooo-can't wait to see Sorcerer Mickey's costume...

 

[faerieprincess]

Love the glass slippers Melissa! i hope you feel better very soon.

 

[mickeysmyboy]

I'm so sorry that it took so long for me to respond to everyone! With my mom and dad here and everyone with a bad cold its been hard to Dis time! Of course, I've been dying to sit here on the couch with my feet up and the laptop on my lap

the Tink outfit is ADORABLE!

Love your glass slippers

Mickey Mail!

Thanks!! I was so super proud of the way the tink outfit came out! DD LOVES it! Now I just have to think about what we're wearing everyday!

Thanks Paula!! That means a lot coming from you! I've seen what you can do

Only 1 lonely magical express tag?! I definitely agree that putting your clothes in the carryon will be much easier if you don't get another ME tag in time! Security would probably question some of the OL stuff in a carryon.

I was planning on shipping our OL stuff only because I think our halloween costumes are going to take up A LOT of room. I figure if I ship the OL stuff I can maybe ship the halloween costumes home in the box I used for th ol stuff! We shall see! I'm still trying to come up with a name for out OL!

WOW you aren't kidding when you say you are creative and everything looks so lovely!! WOW I'm jealous of your talent!!!!!

It's always a great day when you get Mickey Mail!!! Got to love it!!!!!

I'm really excited to hear more and more about your trip!!!

Awww thanks Jen!!!

I love opening the mail box to Mickey Mail!! It make so exciting and such a happy day!!!

Ooo-can't wait to see Sorcerer Mickey's costume...

THe ME tagss really makek it seem that much more real and sooo close!!!

Thanks!! DD loves the tink outfit!!!

I'm, hopefully, going to ge to work on Sorcerer Mickey this week! Now that my mom has confirmed that it is ok to do it the way I want to do it I just need to measure him and start cutting. I actually may make my own pattern out of a piece of DH's giant drafting paper first so I do mess up!

Love the glass slippers Melissa! i hope you feel better very soon.

Thanks Sare!!! I'm feeling a lot better!! The rest of the family is a different story!

 

[xoktenox]

Hey Melissa!! Sorry I've been MIA! Your plans sound sooo good for October, you all must be boiling over with excitement for how close its getting

I heard the other day that the fair in Riverhead is October 11. Do you wanna try and meet up there for a little while?

 

[MeMom]

Such a nice thing to get in the mail!
We just got one each last time, too, but a quick phone call and they happily sent us another.

The glass slippers are perfect.

Excitement builds for those with October trips!
We're going to Disney on Ice this coming weekend, so we'll be really ready to go after we get that small fix!

Welcome back!! I'm sure school is keeping you very, very busy!!!

I kept meaning to ask my MIL about the fair and forgetting! I have get back to you on the 11th, we have a lot of stuff coming up!!

I love Mickey Mail!!! I'd love to only need 1 tag! But there is no way I'm going to get the stuff that a family of 5 requires into 1 bag! Especially with halloween costumes

We're getting to so close for our Oct trips!! Your going before me, right?!

I'd love to go to Disney On Ice again! We went 3 or 4 years ago when it was princesses. It's coming here right after we get back from WDW, there is no way I'm going to be able to convince DH to go! Unless the tickets are free!!

Melissa-

I am catching up at work today, so I can't see your pictures. I am sure everything you have described is awesome. I would love to have your creativity and organization, but it'll never happen.

Anyhoo....I thought of you when I saw Cindrella's carriage at the Halloween party. My DH refused to get in line for that photo-op, but he did consent to Minnie Mouse. I tried to borrow a little girl from the crowd, but no one would let me adopt them for 10 mins!

You are almost at one month.....you're getting so close now!

How was your trip?! Are you going to do a TR?!

I'll own up to creativity but organization maybe a stretch Everyone seems to think I'm organized but I keep telling them it's all an illusion! Me thinks it's actually organized chaos

I love that carriage!! That picture of DD as Cinderella in front of the carriage will be one of my favs forever!! I can't believe DH wouldn't wait in line with you DH and I had an agreement that he had to humor me with goofy pictures!!

I'm so excited that tomorrow is 1 month I'm also rapidly approaching 100 days for January and ADR day So much to do, so little time!!
