We did the Deluxe last yr and what worked for us was having a nice sit down breakfast then a nice sit down meal and just snacks during the day. We weren't hungry so a snack was perfect. we did several 2 pointer meals so no points really went to waste. The last day there we took sandwiches on the plane. With the extra snacks we went to the candy shop on Main st and used up al our snack points and brought stuff home so the kids had Mickey snacks for awhile and they loved it because they even brought back sun snacks for some friends.My DD and I did the deluxe plan during free dining last year. It was a lot of food. I felt like we were always running to a meal. I would just keep that in mind.
Our whole family really likes the Coral Reef. CRT for lunch imho is better than breakfast. 1900 Park Fare Dinner is fantastically fun. Also, the GF cafe (the little restaurant) is really great. My DH loves the Ohano's breakfast. Also Mickey's Backyard BBQ is a lot of fun! One of our best meals was at Tony's on Main Street.
This October we are eating at the Brown Derby for the first time. It will my DH's celebration dinner. Every time we walk by he says it smells good. I also would love to do the Luau at some point. We ate at the ts Chinese restaurant in China and were not overly impressed. The kids did not like the ts restaurant in Mexico but my DH and I did. We also loved that it was dark.
Congratulations on the weight loss...my experience has shown having goals is the way to go! I've dropped 30 pounds since January (down from a size 20 to a loose size 14) and really wanted to go down another 20 before Disney...not going to happen, we leave in 5 weeks. Now I have to buy new clothes...what a shame!
My goals were nothing so grand as a marathon or even a half marathon...it was to be able to walk comfortably at Disney and actually BE in a couple of pictures!

Good for you!!! I only have about 10 pounds to lose but it's the flab that is killing me. I can't work out over the summer (at the gym) but even when I did last year when the kids were in school I didn't notice any difference. Still plan on trying to hit the gym two to three days a week. You go EVERY night? Maybe that's my problem. Maybe I need to go every day. But I hate working out -- it's time taken away from things I like to do. Anyway, keep up the great work. You are off to a fabulous start!

As you've long ago probably figured out I'm an OBSESSIVE planner. I don't really mind so much if we don't stick to the plan, I just LOVE planning!
I'm trying to get an idea of places for us to eat this next trip where we've never gone before. Please let me know a place you NEVER miss (or hate when you do!) Tell us about your experience and why it was so great for you (pictures, including food are appreciated).
Things to keep in mind:
1. We're on Deluxe Dining so cost isn't a consideration.
2. We will have kids ages 14, 11, 9, 3, and 2 at time of travel
3. We're staying at CSR but will hit ALL parks and don't mind doing resorts (we have 7 park days and 2 travel days)
4. ADRs we have done before include: CRTx2, Hollywood and Vine (Fantasmic), Crystal Palace Breakfast, Akershus breakfast, Hoop de Doo.
5. ABILITY TO DO EVEN MORE PLANNING WITH AWESOME CUSTOMS IS A PLUS! (and NOW you know why I brought this question to y'all first!!!)
Beautiful! How do you get pictures so big to copy into an applique?
I finished my last dress last night. It is kind of bittersweet! I am glad to be done but I enjoyed making them all. I still have six mickeyhead tee shirts to finish, the just need to be sewn.
This is for Animal Kingdom.

I have my applique 'sketches' (line drawings) in JPG format. I open those in PaintShop Pro, crop and resize to what I need then print. Most of the Vida and other large scale appliques print out on 2-4 pages that I then tape together for the full size image.
Your girls as so cute and the dresses/sets you've made for them have all been great! Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find lots of other outfits they MUST have even if they aren't for Disney.![]()
Thanks!! I have made one, if I ever get the chance I'll post a pic - my little one is actually wearing it today! I plan on making a bunch more for our trip!! This is the tutorial I use the most as well. I adjusted it a bit, cause I don't think it is full enough. But it is a big help! I just added up that I use almost 100feet of ruffle length alone!!! And this is on one to fit a 1 year old. I can't imagine how much I will have to use for when she gets older!I've made mine based on a couple of different patterns. This might help.

Here are a few pictures from the beach - the kids left today (Im so sad) to take their big brother back to college - not sure how many more fun beach days we will have cause their 16 year old brother (who I love to be with on the beach) starts band camp!! Where did summer go!! Tim became a little dare devil - thank goodness for those waterwings!! I can keep them close to me without having all of them hang on me at the same time!!!!
Get ready for waaayyyyy too many sandy kids!!!

That Snow White fabric is to die for -- love it! I always see fabric I like and now I'm just going to start buying it and figure out how to combine it with something like you do. Why should I let good fabric go to waste!
