BOO TO YOU, SANTA!! A November 2012 PTR!-Upd 10/24,pg.14-#205 Costumes and T-Shirts!

Ahhhhhh.... a call for insults. How refreshing!! I'll try to conjure something up. But first, welcome back! I'm glad you finally got the fire put out....

No poking needed, I am working on a comprehesive update right now! I should have it up either tonight or tomorrow! I wouldn't lie about something like that...:littleangel:


liar, liar, pants on fire? :firefight I mean it IS tomorrow somewhere, so I guess you might squeak by on that one -- you didn't actually say WHICH tomorrow. Meanwhile, all your loyal readers have been paralyzed staring at the computer waiting for an update... waiting.... waiting... waiting... Well, maybe not waiting so much as using our time valu-a-bly while waiting... we painted :artist: we watched sad movies on our iphones :sad1: (so as not to get too far from the computer screen in case you posted) :sad: .... we cooked :stir:, made our own costumes pirate: all the while keeping an ear out :listen: for the dinging of the incoming mail. Meanwhile our own trip planning suffered. We didn't know what to do... which way to turn. Our work suffered and some of us ... some of us... resorted to (gasp) visiting other trip reports. I KNOW! Unbelievable!!!! So all that being said and reported on.... whoooohooooooo ya'll are goin' to Disney!!!! I know you have pictures of those weeee ones doing cartwheels... probably all your glass what-nots are broken and the pictures are askew on the walls (those still hanging) from the bouncing off the walls and such. Cleverly, I took all mine down last month in preparation for just such joviality. So keep up the good work... you still have a couple of weeks so you have PLENTY of time to revise some more of your plans. Super jealous over everything ya'll have already accomplished. I'm waiting for the last week and then frantically throwing everything in a grocery bag (the ones that cost .99 NOT the plastic ones, sheesh!) that I can fit. The rest of the stuff will probably be just shoved into cubbyholes around the truck... what to the evs. LOL. Oh, and since I copy everything you're doing (as you are very much aware)... thanks for posting that pic of your Dsis... holy toledo that's clever and... SO copying it too. .... I need a life. :smokin:
p.s. Nothin' wrong with a good ol' gimpy leg... everyone gets one at one time or another... GAC(k)!!!!!!! -- If you can't have a gimpy leg in October, at Halloween, at DISNEY WORLD for crying out loud, when can you????? (This is a good question to bring up at your meeting with the fam. One that needs some serious addressing. Your welcome.
 
BOOO HISSSSSS no pictures....or VERY (VERY) few!! Stop taunting us with your words!!!! LMBO!!!! I am glad your getting things all together. If you would like we could stage a scuffle at MK to let the whole park know of your unlimited entitlement!

Did you do Tye Dye Mickey shirts??? I would love to see them! We made about 20 shirts total! We have black and orange ones for the MNSSHP for when or if anyone wants to change!
 
It so close!!!!! How exciting??!!! Hope it is all falling into place for you!!!
 

Just as promised a picture heavy update on this beautiful Sunday afternoon! Wait, it’s not Sunday you say? It’s Wednesday and I am 10 days late on this update??? :eek: That absurd! I have always stayed faithful to my word in regards to updates! (Please do not read the opening post or any subsequent posts to confirm that, just take my word for it since I have given you no reason to doubt me…:ssst:) Seriously though, this will probably be the second to last update before we arrive at WDW in just 8 short (long?) days!!!:cool1:

As foretold by the prophecy this will be a decidedly picture heavy update featuring shirts and costumes! My next and final PTR update will feature a few more costume pictures as well as some B-day pics of the kids’ party from this coming Saturday. How crazy are we to schedule a big family party the same week we leave for Disney?!?! If your answer was “very crazy with a dash a stupid” then you would be absolutely correct! Here is you prize: :flower3: Here is my prize for making such a decision: :headache: That business aside, let’s get down to the pictures!

T-Shirts

First up is our Disney Family Paper Dolls Shirt as designed by my Dsis! Pretty awesome, right?


Next up is our Disney Cutie shirts! Each of us chose our own character, mine is Scrooge McDuck!


Thirdly we have an amazing Mickey Zentangle designed by DW!! I have some pretty creative family members!


Lastly we have the shirts we actually bought from the Disney Store at a nice discount.


In addition to these family group shirts I also bought this gem online that I am pretty excited about!


Pretty great set of shirts if I do say so myself! Now on to costumes!

Costumes

We will start with mine: The Mad Hatter!

The jacket, pants, and shirt were bought at the good will for about $8! I bought the bowtie on eBay and the hat on Amazon. Hope you are not standing behind me for the parade or fireworks!

Next up DW as: Alice!

This was purchased online from a place that makes custom costumes. She will, of course, be adding a headband with a bow and she is undecided about stocking/shoes.

Now Presenting DS2: Tweedle Dee!

This was bought online and the pants need to be hemmed an inch or two, but isn’t he just the cutest little Tweedle you ever did see?

Fourth we have the costume the DD5 will be wearing but not on DD5.

She was being a turd when we were taking pictures as she was bit too tired. I should have a pic of this on her in the final update.

Fifth we have just the ears and tail and bow tie for DMom: The White Rabbit!

She is making the jacket and pants and what not so there will surely be another few pictures on this one.

Last up are several of the components of Dsis costume: The Queen of Hearts!

As you can tell, her costume will probably be the most elaborate of the bunch! DMom is also making the main dress for this and more pictures will surely be incoming.

For the last picture of the day I figured I would share this awesome pajama outfit that DS just got handed down to him from his cousins. I’d say it’s Tiggerific, but I’m his dad so I might be biased.

So what do you think so far? I hope all your plans and trips are going great and am looking forward to hearing back!:dance3:
 
Awesome t's and costumes You guys will be super cute! I am 5 days out and I cannot wait! We are driving though, not exctied about that.

Thanks for the compliment, although I'm not sure the best costume in the world would cause me to be described as "super cute"...:rotfl: Have a safe drive, I know it's not a fun part of the trip, but hopefully at the way there will fly by!:goodvibes Are you going strait through or stopping along the way?
 
We are not sure about stopping, we will play it by ear I think. My hubby is not about stopping to get a room but I think the kids will be the deciding factors, not him! LOL I actaully have a tendency to get a bit car sick so I have to be really careful on long drives. Little cat naps usually keep it at bay but the kids are not always cooperative that way!

You must not be quite the obsessive planner I am. I could never play it by ear when it comes to wether or not to stop! I hope your trip goes smooth with no car sickness. :goodvibes Have you gotten much of your packing done? Any tips on something not to forget?
 
I am usually WAY further on packing than I am currently but it is slowly coming together! I would never travel without a AMPLE stash of plastic ziploc bags. Gallon and quart size. Also hard peppermint candies. They are great for a variety of situations. Bad breath, upset bellies, random uphappy kid moments.

Once vacation hits, I am very laid back about most things. The best memories are the random moments you don't plan!
 
Have you recently checked crowd calendar or park hours!!!!!!!!! I got a BIG suprise last night. I am sure Jeresey week and the marathon factor into the recent jumps. I wonder fi the storm will effect that. I hope you guys are not delayed by it!!! Be safe!

I noticed that. I think the increase to the crowd calendar is inaccurate though. The hours were extended at MK from 11/6-11/8 because they added more AP previews that run from 8AM-1AM, not due to an expected increase in attendance. I think Touring Plans bases ALOT of their predictions on park hours, but in this case I think they are way over inflated for those days. That said, I'm sure Thursday-Saturday will be noticably busier with all that's going on.

As for weather, the forcast is just about perfect! The high every day is about 79 and most days it has a 0% prediction for rain. I hope you have a safe trip as well and that we both get some awesome weather when we are there!! :goodvibes
 
I am hoping that it is a over prediction too. But honestly, I don't really care, we can accomodate that crowd level, it is similar to when we normally go. I am excited for the extended park hours!!!!!!
 
Just finished our 30-day countdown board!! Whooooohoooooo :cool1:....
But enough about ME :rolleyes1. I hope ya'll have a wonderful and safe trip :drive:.... remember don't talk to strangers!!!! :crowded: (are there strangers in Disney World?? -- I don't know, but I'll be waiting patiently for your report when you get back :coffee:!!)
BYE EXCITED LUCKY PEOPLE!!!:grouphug:
 
Just checking to see how things went! I was suprised by how cold it was in the evenings! I am gald I threw in the long pants and sweaters!! I hope you guys had a BLAST!
 
WHAT???? No update? No trip report? No nothing? Maybe you are like me... totally at a loss of how to describe our vacations.... too quick? too much fun??? Disappointment? Exhilaration? These are all very good questions. (p.s. I saw Mickey) lol.
