Doing Disney the Grand Way! July '10 (UD 7/14) TR link!

[MickeyisBeast]

all of your plans sound awesome!

Thanks!

Hey Sara! I can't believe you're already in the double digits! It's going to be here in no time!

Love your plans! I usually change mine like 21419758515x's!! haha! then, i never stick to it... LOL

sooo close!

Hey
I know, I'm really excited! I start getting more excited around the 20 day mark...
Thanks I do the same thing! Our plans change A LOT, then I finally get it perfect, and we don't even totally follow them! Oh well I just like planning it out, whether we follow them or not

 

[MickeyisBeast]

Woohoo only 19 days til we hit the road, and in 20 days we'll be at WDW!!

(I've got to get a move on the plans... so I'll be doing day 5 and 6!)

Saturday, July 10th
We'll do the same thing today as all the others, wake up, eat breakfast in the room, and then head out to a park.

What park is planned for today? Animal Kingdom!
My must do's for AK?
Expedition Everest! It's one of my favorite rollercoasters in WDW, let alone my favorite ride.
Kali River Rapids- We haven't donw this in forever, I love it, even if you get soaking wet.

At AK, we'll have lunch at our fav lunch spot... Flame Tree BBQ! I've still got a tough decision... the wonderful delicious chicken salad or the ribs... I had the chicken salad last time... so I'm thinking about thr ribs

After AK, we'll go back to GF and take break. Maybe hit the pool?

After, my plan is to go to DTD, where I love to do my shopping! Especially at World of Disney

For dinner I'm planning on eating dinner at the best sandwich shop on earth, Earl of Sandwich- yumm!

After DTD, we'll head back to GF, and call it a night


Sunday, July 11th
We'll wake up, have breakfast in the room, and then... hit the pool!
Last summer when we went, we were at WDW for so long, we took a whole day just to stay at the resort, and hang out at the pool. It was VERY relaxing after being so rushed the past days. We're planning on doing that this day too.

So, we'll hit the pool, play on the beach, walk around the GF, do some exploring. And then have lunch at GF's QS. After lunch, we'll keep exploring- maybe head over to the Poly?

I'm not sure what we'll do for dinner... maybe have dinner at GF's QS again, or head to MK for dinner and ride some rides there (since it is open until 1am- that's a pretty good idea) That's such a good thing about staying on the monorail line- it's just one quick stop to MK! Awesome

And that ends Day 5 and 6

 

[blue and green]

it's always nice to take a break, especially a day/half day break to just walk around the resort, i love doing that
Yumm, flame tree bbq and earl of sandwhich are two of my fav QS!

It is, and what better place to relax then the GF? It's all about relaxing...
Same here, I love the ribs/chicken salad at FTBBQ and I always have my Italian Sandwich at EoS I could def. go for an Italian SW for lunch today...
18 days now I know it's really close! I'm starting to think about what to pack... and I'm getting together my suitcase and totebags. I'm the same way! I like packing, it gets me excited for the trip, but I hate unpacking when we get back home):

My mom ordered new disney shirts!
Originally, we planned to all get the same "Walt Disney World" shirts, all in different colors, but we changed that idea because we could get more shirts for the same prices a different way.

So I'm totally excited

Here's what we ordered;

My mom and I got this shirt

I got this shirt

And I got this shirt

My mom got this shirt

And my mom got this shirt

My dad, and both brothers got this shirt

And DB11 got this shirt. Me and him love to watch Nightmare Before Christmas, and he loves Jack Skellington

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for...
If you ordered something from TS3, you got a discount...
So...
What did we order...
That relates to Toy Story 3...?

He's going to be our 'trip companion'!
Now, I need a name for him. Any ideas?

 

[Princess116]

Lovin the plans! EoS= yummy
I agree, it's nice to take a little relaxing time while on vacation. Vacation is all about relaxing.

Your clothes are soo cute! I especially love the green tinkerbell shirt you got, and the blue mickey shirt your mom got!
The little green alien is so cute! Hmm... yeah, you've got to name him... How about something that related to the TS3 movie...? Sorry, I'm not that much help lol

 

[WDWsweetie]

all of your plans sounds great- your going to have an awesome trip!!
wow, im lovin all the new disney clothes!! my favorite it the white mickey shirt your mom and you both got
the toy story alien is cute! as for names... do you want like a weird name, since it's an alien? If you want an uncommon name, i like lucan or bram
Oh, i agree, i think you should name your alien so that its related to toy story 3! how about... ascot? i know that sounds weird, but i kinda like it lol

Me too, the white mickey shirt is one of my favs
Yes, I thought a weird name would be better for an alien! Ohh, I like Bram, that sounds cool!
Whoa I was actually thinking about naming his Ascot! Since, the whole "Love the leg warmers" "Nice ascot" is one of my favorite quotes now... I'll ask my mom and see what she thinks we should name him

 

[wdwgirl03]

OH MY, I love that alien!!! They are my favorite! hehe I would name him Claw after "the Claw."

 

[MickeyisBeast]

OH MY, I love that alien!!! They are my favorite! hehe I would name him Claw after "the Claw."

Isn't he so cute! They're my favorites too! I love the name Claw- that's like perfect

 

[nickjonasluvr]

oh, claw is a good option! i'd go with that

 

[MickeyisBeast]

the alien is so cute!

He is! I agree, Claw is a good name
I'm thinking that when he gets here, I'll have to take him on a tour of the house... and maybe have a photo shoot lol

 

[MickeyisBeast]

3 of my favorite things!

Today, my mom, both brothers, and I went to the mall. But, before that, DB11 had a doctor's appointment...

So, while DB11 and my mom were gone, DB12 and I had to wait. In the waiting room, there was a Disney magazine... and had the best idea for cupcakes... EVER! And, I'm going to be nice and share it with you

*I'll be making these this upcoming week, I'll post pics then*

Dude, aren't they ADORABLE?!

Here are the instructions (sorry they're so blurry, my phone takes bad pics...)

This is what it says (ingredients are in green); "Reacquaint yourself with those Toy Story scene-stealers, the little green aliens, by making cupcake replicas (no claw game required!). First, mix neon green food coloring into white frosting a drop at a time until the desired shade is reached. Spread the frosting onto a baked cupcake. For the atenna, insert 2-inch section of a green sour straw. For ears, use a rolling pin to flatten a spearment gumdrop between two sheets of waxed paper. Coat the flattened candy with sugar. Use a knife to cut ear shaped pieces, then press them into place. Line up three mint mentos eyes and dot them with black gel icing for pupils. Add a circle of gel icing for an awed, open mouth."

On the topic of these little green aliens... we have decided upon a name!
I narrowed it down to two; Ascot and Claw.

The votes?
DB12- Claw!
DB11- Claw!
Mom- Ascot
Me- Hmmm....
I like them both! But, we decided on....
Claw
Because it related to the aliens better then ascot did
So thanks, wdwgirl03 (Sarah) for the name suggestion!

AND, on the topic of TS3, we're set to see it sometimes this upcoming week! Yay!

Okay, so after the doctors appointment, we headed to the mall!

We went to a few stores, including Aeropostale, where I got new shorts, and two tank tops, for Disney. And the boys got new shirts.

We also went to Old Navy, I got a 4th of July shirt and sunglasses, and the boys got shorts and bathing suits.

AND, the moment you've all been waiting for...
We stopped at...
The Disney Store!
I'm so glad we have one of these at our mall now

So, what did we get in this wonderful store?
DB11 got this Goofy shirt, because it matches his new shorts

I got this Minnie/Mickey shirt, because it was a good fit

AND, while DB11 and I were looking at the TS section, he found this notebook!
Front;

Inside;

Back;

It was SO cute! AND, it was on sale for 4 dollars! Soo, that's my new TR journal
I love love love love love love love it!
And, now I love love love love love DB11 for finding it for me...

OH, WAIT! When we went to check out, the cashire lady asked us if we wanted a reusable bag (I think they were 2 dollars...)
There was a cuuuuute Tinkerbell one and Mickey one. I really liked the Tink one, but it was just too flashy, so my mom asked me which one I wanted, and I said I liked the Mickey one

Here it is;

WooooHooo, how exciting!

 

[Princess116]

1. those cupcakes are SO cute! i can't wait to see your final product and to hear how they tasted

2. Claw is a good name, can't wait to see him, when do you get him?

3. Your new alien notebook is adorable, i really like it! and the mickey earth bag is cool too! very earth-y lol. I don't have a disney store at our closest mall, we have to drive 45 minutes away to get to a disney store, which stinkss!

 

[wdwgirl03]

haha, woo hoo, you chose my name! I feel so honored. I am really tempted to order one of those for myself...like I said I love the aliens.

 

[disney<333]

I was looking at that same magazine at the Doctor yesterday, Emily's sick. I thought those cupcakes were cute so it's funny that you posted it. Love the Disney store shirts. I haven't been on that website in so long. I think the credit card is happy about that.
Your green alien doll is so cute. Amy has that some one. She was deciding between the names Tinker Bell and Buzz. She decided on Tinker Bell. I like the name Claw. Now your yetis have a new friend to travel and hang out in the room with.

 

[gallmcduck]

love your new tops and your moms tinkerbell one the name choice was great. We don't have TS3 here yet so you'll have to post on it when you see it. Not long now nearly at single figures. Your pool day sounds great a good opportunity to recharge those batteries

2- I think so too The order is supposed to be here the 21st... so in about 3 days!
3-Thanks! It's a little big, but since we won't be having to bring sweatshirts... we'll have more room in the bags! The bag is cute, I really like it! That stinks- I was really excited when the Disney Store opened a few months ago in our mall

haha, woo hoo, you chose my name! I feel so honored. I am really tempted to order one of those for myself...like I said I love the aliens.

Woohoo, I really liked that name Hahha
They're only $5... Haha they are really cute
