Disney OCD--aka MissCammie is Disney Planning!

[NYPDwife]

although I don't know if I'd qualify as a Minnie Mouse after Diet Coke...I'm a non tantruming Donald!

Those Disigns people are SO creative!!!

how's your Christmas planning going?

Ok, so maybe not Minnie, but Donald with his hair combed and a bouquet of flowers in his hand. But the Diet Coke needs to be in a bottle and NOT a can!

Christmas planning is going good. I'm going crazy I tell ya. Yesterday I called Disney to switch the extra day from Sunday night to Friday night and then APOLOGETICALLY called againg to switch it back . They must think I'm crazy. I'm just trying to figure out what's best b/c we will have our dogs with us, but I found out that on our last day, I can pick them up at any time and we just get charged for the day, not overnight, so I THINK I'm good.

 

[Fluffypants]

...that way if people just want to know opinions about where we ate, they can read the reviews and avoid the rambling!!!

Nonsense! The rambling is the BEST PART!!!

 

[NYPDwife]

Okay, keep in mind that I'm not a graphic artist and I did this with Microsoft Paint.....maybe someone can fix it so you can make a tee out of it.

I said to Jay yesterday..."We leave in Two Weeks and Two Days!"

He gave me a "you are NUTS woman" look...and then did the math in his head. The "panic" look replaced the previous look!

He always gets twitchy at the two week mark!

He wasn't home yesterday when I was having the kids try on their shoes. He missed the wallet shot...that I haven't dropped on him yet... Teddy has grown clean out of his Keens! I was really hoping he could wear them one more year. They fit him fine in June. The child's feet have grown THAT MUCH since the beginning of the summer. It's a bummer b/c we will have to get him a new pair before we go...sooner rather than later so he can wear them around and get them all broken in just right for Disney.

I'm a big fan of Keens. They are great for kids like Teddy who need total foot protection...options to get wet...and remain cool. He has his croclings too...but those aren't quite as hardy as the Keens. Keens are TOUGH, but light and very supportive to his little frame that is growing like a dang weed! Shoes are the ONE place that that Jay and I agree that quality has to be first. Usually I'm in the "It doesn't make sense to spend crazy amounts for kids clothing b/c they grow out of it so fast..." camp. But shoes are a different arena. Supportive shoes in children's young years are much more important than people might think. Since we work with all sorts of Physical therapist's and occupational therapists and orthopedic doctors and such, we are well versed in the importance of sturdy, well made supportive shoes for children...well versed meaning I'm paranoid about it...I know...shocker!

it's unfortunate that such sturdy, supportive shoes for children are often shockingly expensive! Even though I was bummed that Teddy had grown out of his Keens...I happen to know some places that I can get them for a very reasonable price! I ROCK at internet deal finding!!!

Sally too jumped on the "It doesn't FIT" bandwagon! Seriously, her Mickey crocs fit her last MONTH even...but when she put her feet into them yesterday her toes came right to the edge and squished. Even without the strap behind her ankle! *sigh*

She has her pink Minnie Janes...(women's size 6!!) and her flip flops that she is currently passionate about. I'm thinking she needs another pair of shoes. Jay thinks I'm nuts. He thinks she has plenty of shoes with a pair of crocs and a pair of flips and a pair of sneaks. ( The kids are required to wear sneakers for the Pirate Cruise)...BUT the sneaks don't count in the shoe round up as Sally will not wear those except for the cruise...and only then b/c we've had to threaten to take her birthday away! Seriously! (Sally LOATHES sneakers!) With a ten day trip I think the kids need more than two pairs of shoes!

I think I'll get Sally another pair of crocs while we are hunting for Keens for Teddy this weekend. Poor Jay will have to deal with it...or I'll hide it...

probably hide it...

JUST KIDDING...

or am I?



The thing is...poor Jay just has no clue about shoes. He has his one pair of Keens that he got last year (and LOVED by the way!) Jay is NOT a sandal wearing guy. No flip flops, no rugged Teva type sandals...he just can't stand it. He wants his foot covered totally...even though he has very nice feet for a man...*ahem* I tried to sell him on Keens, but he insisted he wasn't a sneaker hybrid kind of guy either. I reminded him about our Honeymoon when we were at Magic Kingdom smack in the middle of Hurricane Ernesto. His sneakers and socks had been a wet squelchy mess after an hour and they never really dried after that...this did NOT make Jay very happy...so he said he'd "try on" some Keens...mostly to humor me I suspect..but he arrived home with a pair of his very own!!

the point being, he's happy with ONE pair of "Disney Shoes" and his sneakers and a pair of dress shoes.

Now ask me how many pairs of shoes I'm taking...

more than three!

It gets nuts doesn't it? I can't WAIT to hear how your trip goes with the dogs coming along! I'll bet A LOT of people would like to know how that works and if it was a pain or if it was okay! YAY trip report!!!

Nonsense! The rambling is the BEST PART!!!

THANKS!

This is AWESOME!!! It looks GREAT! Have you been to the Disigns board? You'd fit right in!!!

thanks for making this! I love it!!

 

[Hedy]

I'm with Sally on sneakers.

Sally really should get a pair of crocs, as what if she has a footwear issue? You may be the same shoe size, but I'm sure your feet shape shoes separately.

 

[jcc0621]

Hi. I just read your previous TR. It was great! Looking forward to this one. We arrive at WDW 2 days prior to you for 10 days!!!

 

[stagemomx3]

aha...and so my plan of world domination through the art of time suckage has been revealed!!!

Aww, you're very welcome. I'm not a very creative person, but I try. My mom was very creative and would make me outfits to match my Cabbage Patch, but I got the cooking side of her and my sister got her creative side.

I am going to try and piece together Belle's Christmas costume for Bobbi. I figure I can design it and get my mom to make it for when we eat at CRT on Christmas Day.

 

[*DisMom*]

YAY! I am so pumped about your Trip Report! Things have been pretty busy, but I finally got to do some 'Dissing' and came across your Pre-trippie. I soooo enjoyed your last TR and I am looking forward to this next one. I hope that y'all have a wonderful and safe trip. My family won't be back until Thanksgiving of next year, so your TR will be my Disney fix!!!!

 

[tyandskyesmom]

I was just about to go home fo rthe day when I caught you screen name out of the ocrner of my eye!

I loved your last TR so am looking forward to the next...plus AKL is our favoritest favorite of all!

 

[weezy26nm]

Loved the last TR, cant' wait for this one.

I once made the mistake of mentioning that I "needed" a pair of black shoes.

Now I am not a shoe person, per se....I'm really not!

He calmly went into our room and lined up about 13 pairs of black shoes (I know that isn't many to most of you but to a man that's alot of black shoes!) and proclaimed that "need" was not really the correct term for what I most obviously only WANTED!

Men.

Hi Miss Cammie,

I'm going to sound like a big nerd but I'm gonna go ahead and say it anyway. I am a huge fan of your trip report. I even copied it onto a word document at work so it I could read it without it looking like I was slacking

I love your humor and you have inspired me to write a trip report for my upcoming trip. It won't be nearly as entertaining as yours since I won't have the comic relief that your children bring to the table but I'll give it my best shot. [They are darling as I'm sure you know] Hope you have a great time on your next trip, can't wait to hear all about it.

I LOVE this! Are you sure you aren't married to my husband, too?

My bratty response to my husband doing such a thing would have been to go out and buy THREE new pairs of black shoes...b/c I am the boss of my own self...SO THERE! AND not all black shoes are created alike...there are many variations, applications, shades, shapes and functions to the black shoe...men do not get this. Clearly!

Besides there are plenty of things that husbands say they NEED when really it's a want...and therefore NOT necessary...TWO can play at that game!

HI! Thanks so much for the kind comments! Writing a trip report is a lot of fun! I'll keep an eye out for yours!!! glad you've joined us!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

Just to clarify because you have sent me into a panic...

Does Disney say the kids need sneakers for the pirate cruise?

My kids hate sneakers especially in the summer. I was going to let them wear their crocs.

 

[CoP Luv]

I ROCK at internet deal finding!!!

So where are you looking for these shoes? I need to find a great pair of walking shoes for our HM...here I am talking about MY trip on YOUR PTR.

I have been looking at Privos by Clarkes and think they are really comfortable, but have been suggested to look at Teva and Keens. I might go back to mall grazing this weekend to try on a few. But I would like to get them at a great price!

Since Miss Cammie knows all, and is 'out' with her world domination plan, could you help a girl out?

I would be forever grateful!

 

[lucytootsie]

ME TOO ME TOO. I took a look at those keens they look great. But I really hope I did not find the great deal you did. I am hoping there is a cheaper 1 some where.

 

[Mickeypal1]

I spent early July reading your last trip report(even when I was supposed to be packing for my own Disney trip). I got back and see you have a PTR! Yea! I really enjoy reading your writing. My husband and I love to spend our anniversary at Disney. (15 years a couple of weeks ago) I hope your family has a blast and I will be waiting to hear all of the wonderful things you do.
