Disboutiquers Part 24 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[NiniMorris]

Our dates are Sept 20-Oct4. Maybe we can do a mini-meet. If I'm not mistaken, I think there are a couple others who will be down there around this same time. We'll have to plan something when it gets closer if anyone is interested!

Sorry, forgot to say, that as of right now, no, we are not doing the Halloween Party. Unfortunately.

We'll be there Sept 18-29! Anyone doing MNSSHP?

We did the Christmas party last year and wasn't too impressed, so we won't be doing the Halloween party...although I think my son and his wife are planning on it. (they are traveling with us....sort of!)

made a crayon roll. its not perfect but its my first one. I then had to make another as my daughter wanted one and that was "boys material" so she didn't want that one

I really like roll ups. I don't have a clue how to make them but this is so sweet.

i've also got several pairs of shorts made i was suprised how easy these were to make

he's got dinner all down his t-shirt i think

Boys are always messy, I didn't even notice his shirt because the shorts are so dang cute. He is just adorable.

I made this dress for my DD6 for when we go to Chef de France in Epcot.

It's a patchwork kids, wrap dress and it's the first time I have used this pattern but it was very simple.

I'm pretty pleased the way this has turned out, I just need to add the ribbon ties.

I have been eyeing this pattern for a while. You did a wonderful job. I love the fabrics.

I finished one of the birthday cupcake skirts. The girls told me that they want to match so it looks like I'll be making 2 more - exactly the same. I thought a bubble skirt would be cute - I'll have to test that out later.

I figure I'll make the skirts before I tackle the applique on the tee shirts.

Just adorable. Love the colors.

Just found this thread!! What a set of talented ladies!! I am so jealous...I have my Disney Brother sitting collecting dust...I think I need to break it in!!!


I mainly crochet......

Anyone who crochets I envy. I can but it involves way too much counting for me.

Love this idea. Some day.

Easy fits are on my list to make DS. I did the pants now I want to try shorts.

and one more. i'm on a roll tonight

This is adorable.

I made a skirt for DD this evening. I want to get a picture of her in it. Picked the fabric for the bowling shirt so I will be starting that tomorrow.

 

[KAA1972]

Has anyone ever done a dress for a toddler for a Disney Cruise? I'm looking for ideas... and possible some help creating something for my daughter.

I would love to see any examples! You are all very talented! I'm envious as I am just a beginner!

 

[MomtoAlexnWilliam]

And a close up of the front

I was so excited about the back of the skirt, since the rose is enchanted I decided to use metallic thread to give it some xtra sparkle (WHAT WAS I THINKING) I finally gave up with the silver for the dome over the rose, when on the 6th attempt I accidently unhoped the skirt I hope that by leaving that off the rose doesn't lose something

And last a closer look at the rose cause with all the trouble I still think it looks great

Love it!! We are going to Disney on Ice next month too and I am working on my DD8's outfit. I love the ideas!!!

Those are so cute! Do you have a tutorial?

Thanks! I will find the link and post it!

Amazing, the dress looks perfect. I love this picture of your DD and the pictures with mom and dad are great.

Thanks!!! We had fun taking the pics....our kids LOVE to pose for the camera.

These came out really cute. Did you embroider on ribbon or onto fabric?

Thanks!! I did these on fabric. I have done the ribbon ones but I prefer the way the cotton embroiders much better!!!

Also really like those keychains -- those might be nice Big Give items for teens and especially boys who are harder to come up with things for.

Thanks! I thought about them for moms and teen girls for big gives. Do you think teen boys would like them?? DH thinks they are too bulky for guys. But then again he is 43 and we have NO teenage boys to ask in our family.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

mar20b by 4forSarah, on Flickr

Adorable!!! Great job!!!

What does the FSL stand for? (I know I am probably going to kick myself for asking...probably something obvious, huh?)

WOW!!! Just beautiful. Where exactly are these??

I don't know if your question was answered but FSL stands for free standing lace. I keep wanting to try it but am too chicken!!!

Thanks for the compliment!! They are in the middle of nowhere just west of Little Rock, Arkansas. It is 7 acres of rolling hills with nothing but different varieties of daffodils planted. They are in bloom for about 2 weeks each year in mid-March. The land is owned by the Wye Mountain United Methodist Church - they have a facebook page. They have a festival for 2 weeks with a craft barn and food. The field is free to visit but they rope off an area where you can pick 12 flowers for a $1 or you can purchase bulbs to plant in your yard -- they multiply quickly and they are constantly thinning the field out. They use the money to pay for their pastor's salary and church expenses. The weekends are PACKED so we normally go up during the week when the crowds are much lighter. There are tons of professional photographers set up everywhere to take pictures if you want. We always take our tripod and take our own.

I mainly crochet......

Beautiful work!! I crochet but mainly granny square blankets. I have tackled a hat one time and it was okay but nothing like yours!!!

I am just flying by, but I saw this and wanted to share my experience. I had the same issues and tried adjusting the tension to no avail. After a night of googling I found the schematics for the machine, so I (along with DH) took the top cover off and found that there was a huge snag up of thread in the upper tension discs. It still appeared to thread okay, but the thread wasn't catching in the discs so the upper thread was getting no tension control. It caused all sorts of wacky problems and once I got that thread out, all was well again. If you google there are solutions to getting the thread out without removing the cover - I want to say dental floss but not 100% on that. If you have been embroidering tshirts with the same type of needle without issue, I would look for thread or lint caught somewhere in the machine.

How do you take the top cover off? When I have had major stitching issues and nothing else works (new bobbin, new needle, thread machine again, etc) I have taken the vacuum hose and run it along the threading flow....and pulled out stray threads. Afterward it runs as it should.

G
These are cute. What a nice gift. I, too, would love a tute, but have not yet read through everything, so not sure if you've posted it yet.

Thanks!! I will find it and post it next!

What a great idea

thanks!

What a great idea!! I've never done anything like that before, did you follow a tutorial? If so can you point me in that direction? My cousin has a bday in about a week and I'd love to throw one of those into her giftbox!

Thanks! I will find it!

Awesome idea... I've always wanted to know how to do these, as well.

[teresajoy]

Here are pics of the Joann's flyer:

Page 2:
On the lower left under Sew and Save is where the Keepsake Callicos are 40% off

Page 3
Hmmm, looky here -- upper right shows calico keepsakes at 3.99 to 9.99 yard -- not what the previous page showed!!!!
Sorry the pics aren't the best. I have not tried looking at any on-line ads yet to see if this posted as one.

Thanks Andrea! Unfortunately, the Keepsake Calicos were not on sale at my store and they weren't budging on that! I was so disappointed! Our flyer didn't have the little extra flap on it. Why bother putting the Keepsake Calicos in the ad at all if they aren't even on sale???????? I did end up using a 40% off coupon to buy some fabric I needed though.

Well, yes, fabric speaks to me, too. It says, "You know I'm just going to sit in a dark drawer, smashed in with other "gotta have" fabrics, but please buy me anyway. Who knows, it's possible some day you might be tempted to sew, and there I'll be. Wrinkled and waiting."

[/SIZE]

That just cracked me up!!! It's like you live at my house!

I would love to see a picture of the cupcake-burp cloths before they are in the cupcake.

I have a picture of one of them in my post, but I didn't get pictures of the other ones. I think we will be making some more for another friend of ours, so I'll make sure to take pictures of them!

Here are the fronts:

Gorgeous!!! I love these with the contrasting straps and sashes!

One more down! We're going to Akershus for lunch and it happens to be Flower and Garden as well, so I designed this to have a botanical look. It's a total frankenpattern and I love the way it turned out!

Thanks for looking! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

WOW!!! This is beautiful!

Love the cupcakes. I bet the girls had fun with that project. What a neat gift with cute presentation, too. The dress looks really cute as well. I love the colors.

They really did have fun making them! And, you should have seen them beaming when the new Dad walked around showing them to everyone!!! (Lyddie has a big crush on him) He actually walked around the rest of the shower with one of the burpcloths on his shoulder! Lyddie was on

Hi Everyone!!

I heard from Val (Tweevil) today. She is home, but in a lot of discomfort and pain!!! Pray for relief for her so she can rest!!!

Thank you for letting us know Wendy!

Hey girls, I have a question...seeing as how I want to make those Buzz and Woody bowling shirts, I see you guys talking about "CarlaC" a lot from youcanmakethis, right? Do they ever offer discounts, etc? I usually don't use a pattern to sew because I only make really simple things but I'm thinking I should get a pattern and don't see any bowling shirt patterns for kids in the popular brands (Simplicity, McCalls, Butterick...) I have a bunch of patterns but I only buy them when they're 99 cents or $1.99 so $10 for a pattern is kind of to me.

Have we talked you into it yet? I was extremely resistant at first too! I think we all were, it SEEMS like so much to pay for a pattern, until you think about it. This is the ONLY time you will have to buy this pattern. You get so many sizes and you can reprint it as many times as you want! Not to mention Carla's patterns are far FAR superior than any commercial pattern I've ever used and I've been sewing for 30+ years and only found Carla's patterns 3 or 4 years ago. Just give them a try, you won't be sorry.

Just found this thread!! What a set of talented ladies!! I am so jealous...I have my Disney Brother sitting collecting dust...I think I need to break it in!!!


I mainly crochet......

WELCOME!!!! You do beautiful work!

I think it was Teressa that did a Snow White-ish top for herself once...I might try something like that...still in the thinking stage!


Nini

Yes, I did. I took a blue t-shirt and sewed red ribbons on the sleeves. I wore it with yellow capris. I got so many compliments on that, it was a lot of fun!!

 

[MomtoAlexnWilliam]

This is the supplier I use for the webbing and the hardware. She has the best prices around. I think she also sells on ebay in smaller quantities. You can do a search -- it combines the webbing and hardware. I can find the 1 inch webbing in stores here but no one carries the 1.25 inch webbing.

She has a great tutorial as well.

http://www.discountembroideryblanks.com/keyfobac.html

I use my scrap fabric to make them right now. I would also think one of those (can't think of the proper name) circles of fabric strips (kind of like fat quarters) would work great too!!! Those strips are 2 inches wide and I think 40 inches long. That would make 4 key chains per strip.

Some of my learning points:
1. I can get 3 names monogrammed in 1 5x7 hooping.
2. I try to keep the height of my monogramming right at .90 inches and no longer than 4 inches. That allows for the strip to be ironed/finished to 1 inch with room for a narrow seam on each side of the fabric.
3. You can vary the length of the finished key chain. Longer to fit as a wristlet and shorter to just be able to grab it with a few fingers. Play around with the lengths!
4. I do have some bright colored webbing but I am trying to stick to dark webbing -- it won't show dirt as easily.
5. To clamp on the key fob hardware I use a normal pair of pliers that I put 3m foam tape over the grooves -- it works great and the metal doesn't touch/scratch the key fob

If you have any questions, please ask away!!!

 

[effervescent]

Beautiful!

Looks like you all had fun on St. Pat's Day, especially, your DS! You have been really busy with the big gives. That is very kind of you. I'm sure all the families have enjoyed the treasures you made for them.

Thanks! Yes, I think ODS definitely had the most fun of any of us! I have to keep myself busy and I figure that Big Gives are a great channel for that energy.

Hi Everyone!!

I heard from Val (Tweevil) today. She is home, but in a lot of discomfort and pain!!! Pray for relief for her so she can rest!!!

She's in my thoughts. I hope her recovery is quick and uneventful.

Beautiful, looks like everyone had fun. My aunt lives up in Cody and it's just so gorgeous in that area.

I realized the other day that I have more projects for our trip than I have days left until the trip!Ours is in Sept., so I have even more time, but the time sure is flying by.

At least you know what your projects are - I haven't even decided what I'm making! And I usually make customs for the kids for each day and shirts for most days for DH and I. Wow, I'm suddenly feeling a little overwhelmed!

Those are so neat!

So, anyways, I am excited! And I paid cash for it... with $$ I earned myself, selling my AG outfits. I am a happy girl.

D~

Awesome on all counts!

I love it!

I wish I could take a mountain vacation... we are headed to the Netherlands at the end of May - and I am a bit nervous.

D~

That sounds like a whole lot of fun. I can't wait to hear all about it!

Alison:

LOVE IT! best one i've seen. love st pats and your little irish princess. she is rocking it.

Thanks! She got lots of compliments all day about rocking the green zebra print. She definitely has a knack for pulling off the loud prints, which is good since she favors them!

I have a bunch of patterns but I only buy them when they're 99 cents or $1.99 so $10 for a pattern is kind of to me.

I know others have said it before I got a chance to quote, but they are worth the price. I wouldn't pay over 1.99 for a commercial pattern either, but these are really a horse of a different color. They are very well laid out and explained, have a large range of size, and being able to reprint the patterns as much as needed is so worth it. Plus not having to deal with that horrid tissue paper is worth it's weight in gold.

I get to take the behind the scenes tour at Disney which includes a visit to the coveted costuming department at the Studios.

I really can't wait to hear all about that! I always want to jump off the tram when we get to that part of the Backlot Tour.

Guess what was in my mail today????

Pixie Dust!!

thank you so much Andrea for our adorable luggage tags!

Megan's is Minnie and mine is Tink!

tell you DD she did an awesome job on them too!

we will proudly wear them on our backpacks!!

thank you again for your sweet gift!

Awesome!

The St. Patrick's day stuff is really cute. Hello Kitty is my favorite but I do love your son's shorts and shirt too. I think it is so funny that your son, Hunter, knew exactly how many kisses he got. Sounds like a fun parade.

Thanks for sharing your Big Give pictures - you made so many cute things. How very nice of you to make all of these things for the give families.

Thanks! Alison has finally discovered Hello Kitty and adores it. I mean, what's not to like about a kitty with a cute hairbow? St Pat's was fun, although we're undecided about doing it again. It is so crowded that it is a real hassle with little ones.

So cute!

Love it! I have that pattern and have yet to touch it. Love the fabric too.

mar20b by 4forSarah, on Flickr

So cute! I can't wait to see pics of the party.

Oh my...what a little cutie! And congrats to your DS for getting sooooo many "kisses" Ha! He is a lucky guy!!

He thinks he's a hot shot now! I told him that I was going to make him a tshirt with a cowprint muffin with horns (studmuffin). He wasn't impressed!

 

[effervescent]

Gorgeous hats! Crocheting is how I got my start crafting, I just tend not to have the patience to finish my projects!

Cute! I need to try one, for some reason I'm a little scared of them....lol. We do a lot of homeschooling out and about and it would be nice to have something to put the toddlers colored pencils in. Maybe I'll tack that on the end of my evergrowing to-craft list!

Cute! Is that the easy fit pattern? They are really ridiculously easy to make, I was shocked the first time that I made them.

Hi...just wondering if y'all got the 25% off coupon from Joanns today? Should be great since it can be combined with the big sale this weekend.

I didn't get one. You'd think with as much money as I've spent there the last couple of months that they'd send me one!

That is awesome!

Our dates are Sept 20-Oct4. Maybe we can do a mini-meet. If I'm not mistaken, I think there are a couple others who will be down there around this same time. We'll have to plan something when it gets closer if anyone is interested!

Sorry, forgot to say, that as of right now, no, we are not doing the Halloween Party. Unfortunately.

I'm all about a meetup! We'll have to check plans a little closer to time and get something set up. Where are you staying? We're doing POR this year.

We did the Christmas party last year and wasn't too impressed, so we won't be doing the Halloween party...although I think my son and his wife are planning on it. (they are traveling with us....sort of!)


Nini

Well FWIW we did Christmas last year and weren't terribly impressed either. This will be our 3rd Halloween party and we absolutely love it. HalloWishes, IMO, is the most amazing fireworks show I've seen. And the parade...oh my gosh so neat. We're big fans of Halloween though so that's probably part of it.

How do you take the top cover off? When I have had major stitching issues and nothing else works (new bobbin, new needle, thread machine again, etc) I have taken the vacuum hose and run it along the threading flow....and pulled out stray threads. Afterward it runs as it should.

If you look above the needle up/down button you'll see a recessed screw. After you unscrew that you can gently take that cover plate off and see the thread path. I am a very visual person so I had to actually see everything inside to understand what I was reading online. As soon as I opened it up I could see tufts of black thread in the discs so it was a good gamble for me. I haven't thought about using the vacuum, I'll probably try that next time. Now that I have seen how it works I feel better....lol.

 

[sheridee32]

My 5yr old dgd is having disney withdraws they have gone to PA with her daddy while he is working up there, she knows we are going to FL to see her aunt in a few weeks so today she informed me she would just go to the airport and get on a plane and fly by herself to FL when we get there. Yes it is my fault she has flown out there 4 or 5 times already and yes she is addicted to disney and can tell you were everything is at all the parks. Hopefully we are going to get to suprise her and they will meet us there while we are there they have been gone since the last of January its been hard since they were living with us. My dgs is now sitting up and scooting everywhere but by us skyping every few days he hasnt forgoten us. Miss my babies. Sorry to rattle on

 

[MikellaCinderella]

AMAZING!! Love it!! Great job!

 

[VBAndrea]

Too bad Joann's not like Old Navy you can buy it before it goes on sale then bring it back on sale day with the coupon to get the discount...
they dont do that do they??

I highly doubt it -- at some stores you can't even use more than one coupon at a time. And one of the stores I go to has not so nice ladies working at it and is very short on help. I think I'm going on Thursday to stalk out my fabric and make a list of what I want so it makes it easier for me on Friday morning. I am just so very thankful I don't work this Friday b/c I surely am not going to want to wait in the cutting lines on the weekend.

Bummer I didnt get one!!!!

Are you signed up for their e-mail listings? It sounds like all stores nationwide are NOT doing the same sale. I am just thankful ours does. I would like to stock up as much as possible for BG's as fabric shopping during the summer with my children can be beyond nauseating. You'd think I was making my ds try on a ruffly dress the way he acts at the fabric store! And my dd picks out all these hideous fabrics. Of course I forgot dh will at least be here this summer so I can fabric shop in the evening. Phew! My summer is saved!

It came with a second one for a 'friend' so I can email you a copy

I have two Joann's and both carry different fabrics so if I have to surrender my coupon at one store I will have to use my friend coupon at the next. I'm am sure I will walk out of the store with a $100 bill and will have no place to sotre the fabrics I buy!

I went to Joanns yesterday. I went in to buy stabilizer which I thought was on sale but it wasn't. They said it goes on sale this coming weekend. The calico was 40% off so I ended up getting some, even though I don't need it.

I did get the 25% off coupon. I already had another one. Maybe I will go to the Super Joanns on Friday morning. It is further away but I'd like to see what other fabrics they have. I do still need more stabilizer.

 

[DMGeurts]

i've also got several pairs of shorts made i was suprised how easy these were to make

he's got dinner all down his t-shirt i think

Great job! Your ds is adorable!

and one more. i'm on a roll tonight

african dance costume

I love this! It's very unique and interesting to the eye!

Congrats on your serger.... next on your list a PE-770?

I have not decided which I am going to do first... I am thinking a cover stitch machine - but I have no idea which one. I've been researching - but there are only a few out there to choose from - and each one has their own quirks. Honesly, I am leaning towards a Brother CS - and I hate to say this - but I just love my old machine - so that alone would just lean me that direction to start with. The serger is a brother, and yes, eventually I plan to get the PE770. So, potentially, I could have a whole family of Brothers. I should probably start naming them...

D~

 

[NiniMorris]

URGH! There is a tummy thing going on here...luckily is seems to only be running a little over 24 hours, but now the other one has it! I'm tired!


Anyway, I had some quotes, but I guess I pushed a wrong button again and lost them!

Thanks, Teressa...I thought that is what it was, I have now written that down in my Disney book. I think I am going to CASE that idea...


I am all up for a Disney meet. We are staying at POFQ and my son and his family is staying at POR. (they are taking a teenage girl from church to help watch the Grand daughter, so I may actually get to ride this trip! Woo Hoo!)


Part of the reason I didn't like the Christmas party was it was so COLD!!! (plus it was only 10 weeks after the neck surgery and the cold was a bit more than I expected!) I will not be able to talk hubby into the Halloween party because, since Christmas is my favorite time of the year (and I really don't like Halloween), well, convincing him to shell out over 200 for it is not something that is going to work...LOL


Thanks for the key fob info. I had seen a couple of in the hoop key fobs, but haven't been able to make my mind up. Think I will try this and then see if I need to add another item to my 'stuff' (especially since I have some things I want to try that have never gotten off the computer!

[abfight]

Thanks to everyone for the compliments on the Beauty and the Beast outfit.
WELUVDIZNE tHE "RIBBON" is just a piece of the material that i used I ironed the edges over about a quarter in, then cut the piece about 3 inches linger than needed, put heat n bond on the back, ironed it to the shirt then just stitched it really close to the edge of the fabric. After you have it stitche on rip the seam on both side put the ribbon in and just sew it back up on the inside of the shirt. Super easy. and no ruffles.

Nini

Keep me in mind for the Sept dismeet. We are planning to be there (DH and I with his DSis and DBIL) Sept 24 - Oct 1. I will probably have to see if it works out for me to split from them for a little while though. We are staying at AK Lodge.

 

[babynala]

This is the new outfit I made for Lorelei. I won't tell you i had to redo the bodice 7 times cause I just couldnt understand the instructions I was looking at And that I accidently sewed part of her bottom leg to the ruffle and refused to rip it out and resew it and that will now become the back instead of the front
Best part is she thinks its fabulous and she loves it so its a win for Mommy

What a sweet outfit, it looks very comfy too.

I made this dress for my DD6 for when we go to Chef de France in Epcot.

It's a patchwork kids, wrap dress and it's the first time I have used this pattern but it was very simple.

I'm pretty pleased the way this has turned out, I just need to add the ribbon ties.

Perfect for dinner in France.

I finished one of the birthday cupcake skirts. The girls told me that they want to match so it looks like I'll be making 2 more - exactly the same. I thought a bubble skirt would be cute - I'll have to test that out later.

I figure I'll make the skirts before I tackle the applique on the tee shirts.
mar20a by 4forSarah, on Flickr

This looks really nice. I like how you added the ric rac to the bottom of the skirt. You must have to buy lots of fabric to make 3 of everything. Your photo skills are great too.

Just found this thread!! What a set of talented ladies!! I am so jealous...I have my Disney Brother sitting collecting dust...I think I need to break it in!!!

I mainly crochet......

Welcome! What cute hats and a cute model too.

Which software did you get?QUOTE]

I have Designer's Gallery DensityWorks.

Thanks

made a crayon roll. its not perfect but its my first one. I then had to make another as my daughter wanted one and that was "boys material" so she didn't want that one

Great job on the crayon roll. We have (but I didn't make it) and I still take it with us when we go out. My kids like having more then 3 colors of crayons to use when we are at a restaurant. Guess you'll be making another one in pink!

i've also got several pairs of shorts made i was suprised how easy these were to make

he's got dinner all down his t-shirt i think

Cute shorts.

and one more. i'm on a roll tonight

african dance costume

This is really neat. I love the little bracelets on the ankles and wrists too.

Too bad Joann's not like Old Navy you can buy it before it goes on sale then bring it back on sale day with the coupon to get the discount...
they dont do that do they??

I didn't know Old Navy did this but I don't usually shop there. I don't think JoAnn's will do this but that would be nice!

Thanks! I thought about them for moms and teen girls for big gives. Do you think teen boys would like them?? DH thinks they are too bulky for guys. But then again he is 43 and we have NO teenage boys to ask in our family.

I can never think of anything to make for teenage boys either. Your keychain idea had me thinking about using the webbing and making a long strap with it to use it as a key chain. I saw one hanging out of the pocket of my teenage neighbor a few days ago.

He thinks he's a hot shot now! I told him that I was going to make him a tshirt with a cowprint muffin with horns (studmuffin). He wasn't impressed!

That's a cute idea but I can imagine that he didn't think that was too funny.

My 5yr old dgd is having disney withdraws they have gone to PA with her daddy while he is working up there, she knows we are going to FL to see her aunt in a few weeks so today she informed me she would just go to the airport and get on a plane and fly by herself to FL when we get there. Yes it is my fault she has flown out there 4 or 5 times already and yes she is addicted to disney and can tell you were everything is at all the parks. Hopefully we are going to get to suprise her and they will meet us there while we are there they have been gone since the last of January its been hard since they were living with us. My dgs is now sitting up and scooting everywhere but by us skyping every few days he hasnt forgoten us. Miss my babies. Sorry to rattle on

What a sweet story. Sounds like you have her trained well. I hope you get to see the grandkids soon.

Great costume.

I am all up for a Disney meet. We are staying at POFQ and my son and his family is staying at POR. (they are taking a teenage girl from church to help watch the Grand daughter, so I may actually get to ride this trip! Woo Hoo!)


Part of the reason I didn't like the Christmas party was it was so COLD!!! (plus it was only 10 weeks after the neck surgery and the cold was a bit more than I expected!) I will not be able to talk hubby into the Halloween party because, since Christmas is my favorite time of the year (and I really don't like Halloween), well, convincing him to shell out over 200 for it is not something that is going to work...LOL

Oh cool we'll be near each other. We've never stayed at either of the Port Orleans so we're looking forward to trying it out. I'd rather stay in FQ, but we have too many kids.

It was cold when we went for Christmas too. I think the fun of dressing up and the great parade are what I like best about Halloween (we didn't get a good view of the Christmas fireworks so I can't compare them well) so that's why I think I liked MNSSHP better. I am trying to convince DH to go again for Christmas this year just so we can do Disney for a couple days in early December, but like your DH he's not crazy about shelling out the money for something that we didn't love. Still trying though!

Keep me in mind for the Sept dismeet. We are planning to be there (DH and I with his DSis and DBIL) Sept 24 - Oct 1. I will probably have to see if it works out for me to split from them for a little while though. We are staying at AK Lodge.

Alllllllright! We'll have to try to at least say hi at some point - I have no idea what your husband's conversation the last time did to Hunter, but I liked it (Hunter's attitude change) and need him to do it again! LOL!
