don't know if i'm elated or gassy, but i'm somewhere in that zone...fall 2014 PTR

[STLMickeyMom]

thanks, everybody! just thought i'd post pictures of the window decorations. I spent way too much time printing and cutting things out this morning and had to share, of course! plus, i'm just super excited I got to use my Disney font again! I love it so!

so, i'm going to hang this in the far left of the window. I hooked them together with these spiral paperclips I've had forever and rarely use.



then, towards the top of the window, i'm putting this....



and then down toward the bottom and right side of the window, i'm putting this...



I'll put some of these on the window and hang some from the top window frame so they can float around.



i'm pretty excited for our first window decorations!

thanks! I was having a lot of fun making mickey heads! I used my cookie cutter, which I think I've used once to make mickey shaped sandwiches and since then I've only ever used it to trace craft projects!n

Love it all!

thanks!

Ahhh, those decorations are so cute! You're so crafty! *jealous*! We'll have to get you to make a decoration or two for me and Ecblovesmickey's room for PHM! <3

How'd the iron ons go? (I'm a little behind...) And How many days left? We're almost to September. :O

the iron ons turned out great! I have pictures on here somewhere, but I've been really bad about adding links at the beginning so they might be hard to find. Thanks for the tips! I loved doing them and was so excited with how they turned out!

We are 29 DAYS AWAY!!! I can't even believe it! It can't get here soon enough!

I'd love to make a window decoration for you all! Ours really aren't anything fancy--just things I found online and printed out.

Jumping over from my PTR - now off to catch up!

and thanks for joining in!

I have a question.....so I was resigned to not meeting Anna and Elsa this trip and was fine with it. Now Maddie keeps saying she wants to see Elsa. I'm trying to be noncommittal.........BUT of course if I can make it happen for her, I'd love to. The night we go to MNSSHP A&E meet until midnight. If we have done everything we want to do and go get in line at about 11:30/11:45 does anyone think we'll get in to see them? Or do you think the line will be closed before then? Just thinking if some pixie dust was going to be sprinkled on us for seeing those hard to meet girls, that night might be the time. Thoughts? Plus, how stinking cute would the picture be with us all in our frozen costumes!

I THINK on MNSSHP nights they will cut off the line early enough that it ends around closing time - you may need to get into line around 11 to make sure you get in. That being said, you could always veer off and ask while Maddie is not paying attention. You could even stop into Guest Services in the morning/before the party and ask; they'd probably have the best info.

We'll be getting reports soon enough from the MNSSHPs, so I wonder if you watch those threads if you'll see the answer to your question before you get there.

And of course keep checking everyday - but I was on 60 days ahead of time for my FP+ and there were NO A&E for my 11 day trip!!!

 

[STLMickeyMom]

am I the last one to know something again?!? (Story of my life--why am I surprised, really?) did anyone else know you can draw Ray in the animation class now?



(On my phone--sorry for the huge picture) I told DH I don't care how many times he has to take the class--I NEED him to draw Ray this time!!

Just something I'm bumming about.....I'm starting to think the whole park is going to be closed for refurbs when we're there. So far, mickeys philharmagic, astro orbitor and carousel of progress are all closed. Astro and CoP were new things we were going to try this trip too. Thankfully, tiki room closes on our last day so we can do that this trip.

That's it for now. I still need to redo our MNSSHP plans but my very best friend (I've known her since kindergarten!) and her family are coming Friday and Monday is Hannah's 7th birthday, so we'll be busy this holiday weekend. Hope everyone has a fun and safe Labor Day weekend!

thanks for the info. I guess we'll just see how the night is going and if we can get over there without missing anything we want to do, we'll jump in line. I just know I'm not wasting party time standing in line for hours. Yes--I was just thinking I'll have to start reading MNSSHP threads and see how things are going.

does anyone know if they are doing the paper fastpasses like they were testing for Anna and elsa?

 

[Denovagirl]

Ok- so just an FYI, people on the FB planner group I'm in have been going and reporting waits closer to 60 min for A&E just during the day, so the time is really starting to get smaller. I'm sure you'll get there and find a way to do it, don't stress! They'll make a separate line for them for the MNSSHP and it might be a good time to hop on that like at 6-6:15 and be one I the first to see them at the party bc it won't eat into your party time too much.

And I actually did see you could draw ray on the disney parks blog! I meant to tell you!!! There's a video so you can try at home!

Squeeeeee! Getting soooooo close! I can't stand it! I literally cannot believe I will have already met you 31 days from now!!
