Bringing the Princess to Her Castle for the 1st Time!

[therussells08]

I can't believe that we leave in 17 days & 2 hrs (who is counting ) and will be there in 18 days!!!!!

Brady was all excited to see it was from Goofy, trust me, it fits

Shelby kept kissing her Princess postcard.

That is SOO soon! I'm so happy for your family! (And a little bit jealous...I've still got over 200 days! )

Awww It's so cool that your kids get to do all of these wonderful things to help them get ready for their trip! You're a great mom!

I can't believe she was kissing it! That is too cute for words!

So soon & yet still so much to do!

I try to be a great mom, as you will learn from my FB statuses soon, they do get on my nerves lol

She loves the princesses, she is always kissing them.

And get ready for a new pic of Brady. He says NOW he is ready for Disney. I will take it after he gets out of the shower!

 

[shelbys mommy]

He said, "NOW it feels like Disney!"

Yes, he will be sporting a mohawk at Disney.

Ok I just realized that I possibly ignored the request! sorry! Go ahead & send me another one please! I checked FB BEFORE I read this!!!!

No problem! I'll just resent the request And yay for fairy godmother mail! Becky did a great job with the character's handwritting!

As for the driving, I'm pretty sure if you enter Disney from I-4 (which you would from that exit) you will pass under a Disney sign. We actually normally come in the back way since we like to bypass the I-4 traffic, so I might be wrong. Sometimes my memory fails me!

Ok, so we are driving to Disney, as you all know. I looked on the WDW website & it says this:

New Orleans, LA: I-10 East to I-75 South to the Florida Turnpike South toward Orlando to Interstate 4 West to Walt Disney World Resort Exits

Exit 65:
Disney's Animal Kingdom Resort Area: Disney's All-Star Music Resort

Last time we drove straight through to Magic Kingdom since we had a 1 day pass the day before our Resort was booked & stayed with family in Tampa. Will I miss the huge WALT DISNEY WORLD banner? I hope not! I would be so sad!

I'm not sure of the exact road that the huge Disney sign is on, but in my past 3 trips there, we have taken 3 different routes from the airport and gone under the sign every time! So I think all roads eventually lead to the sign! I could be wrong though...

I love the postcards for the kids, what a cute idea!

Oh sorry, I thought I subscribed to your ptr a while ago, but I guess I never did! Well, I'm joining in now, even though you only have a little while left!

Thanks! I just added you! She did an amazing job! And the boys have more fairy godmother mail coming from another friend! They will be fairy godmothered out!

I hope so! I would be really disappointed not to see the sign!

Ooooh! I hope so!!! I may just have to call Disney & make sure! The postcards were definitely a hit!

OMG I just saw your comments...I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT! Well, actually I can believe it because we are so much alike! That is so cool!! I fell in love with all of that Cinderella stuff and had to have it for my wedding! I told everyone my theme was "happily ever after"!

OMG, that was my theme too! And I had a princess wedding, all my girls serving wore a tiara in their hair! I wanted to get married at WDW, but didn't have the money for that, so I did the next best thing!

Awww I love the idea of the tiaras! I bet they looked so pretty! At my wedding I gave away favors in tiny glass slippers (well, they were plastic, but they looked glass!) It was really neat. I loved using that theme and all my guests loved it too!

OMG I used those glass slippers too as favors, except they were for my bridal shower, not my actual wedding! My mom filled them with purple M and M's and she also got little candles shaped like Cinderella's pumpkin coach for favors! My friend also got me the Cinderella champagne flutes! I didn't have a theme for my wedding because it was so small, but I definitely had some subtle Disney touches added in!

I also got princess thank you cards for my shower gifts (which I have yet to mail out! )

I WISH I would have seen those! But this was back in 2000, so they may not have had them. I have the pics & a video up on FB of my wedding.

How cute!!!!! I used my mom & dad's champagne glasses, but I was only allowed 1 sip, since I was 5 1/2 months preggo with Koby!

You know what's annoying...we never used them on our wedding day! We were so busy that we forgot about them! We didn't have an actual reception, so we didn't do a real toast or anything, so...oops!

Actually...I should go find them and bust them out...today is our one month anniversary! DH will be home from work in about a half an hour!

There you go! Even if you put water in them! Make it memorable! Happy 1 month anniversary!!! We have been married 10 years & 4 months & been together almost 11 years....I feel old

Thanks! I don't know, I think when he gets home, if I have champagne glasses out he will just think I'm being ridiculous or something!

And don't feel old, we have been together for 10 years too, we just took a long time to get engaged and get married!
