Every adventure requires a first step trite but true even here!!!

[cheekypoppins]

All caught up! I think I'm almost caught up everywhere now.

Love all the pins that Connie got you! You pin board is cute but is sadly lacking any Pluto pins.

I didn't see the Creme Brule French Toast but the Cosmo Slushie and Beef Short Ribs I had at the France booth were both to die for!!

Cute birthday party for Riley!! I love all of your cakes.

thanks I can't wait til trip time

OMG we totally share a brain thats my fave part too and was the deciding factor between her n belle LOL,and I'm putting all my american $ in her for Disney.Also at work i'll get american tips sometimes so thats good and my friends boyfriend gets paid in american when he drives cab over the boarders so hes saving that for me to buy at par off him so i'm very excited

 

[cheekypoppins]

OMG look at my ticker would you just look at it I mean shes gorgeous look at her would you look at that? What no edbassmaster fans around here? awe shucks I tried lol ( see you tube) he's hilarious n I'm freakin stoked!!! well apart from H having chicken pox n me having the same virus UGH but at ;least i've goit Disney to look forward too.
okay so before we get to much into that i though i'd share Halloween pics

so we had to prep the pumpkins



ew gross pumpkin guts



oh heres a little vid of the action if you like....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puwk_74tHb4&feature=c4-overview&list=UUcOr37FFzmmbx6xw1GhFLoQ

so Riley was Darth Vader and H actually was Alice instead of Minnie mouse then changed to Peter Pan later. It rained all night on Halloween we got soaked n were very cold but still had lots of fun . Wanna see the after of the pumpkins?



rileys darth vader pumpkin gave me a run for my money my hands are too shaky for that I'm not good with knives at all n a big chunk broke off when I carried it outside

(that pic was a few days after because I forgot)

then hailey decided that under the seweed is always greener in somebody else's lake we dream about going up there but that is a big mistake.....ok I got carried away I know i can't help myself sometimes



and now for today I decided to get my trading pins out n put them into my suitcase,see I don't pack all in one day I pack in parts lol so thats what I chose to pack today



and of course after I put them away the mail came and holy cow it was super dose of disney today look what I got!!!!



well isn't that super exciting? To me it is YAYYYYY!!!! (also i have some news on that)
okay so I was avoiding this because it's depressing but you're gonna find out sooner or later so I might aswell tell yas now right?
Well hubby n H had it out one day pretty bad n he had me cancel their portion of the trip n nomatter how hard I tried to sway him he was not having it so in other words my Disney dream is still but a dream because no Beach Club for this kid go agead cry kick n scream I'll do it with you

yeah then a few days later he decides they'll come omg I could've choked him yup thats love right there!! Anyways sure enough just my luck I call n the room discount was no longer available so I got really upset n then told him why because remember him n the kids didn't know about the upgrade and he must've felt bad because HE SHOULD DANG IT!!! no but really I knew he felt bad but what can ya do so I just decided we'd stay put at Pop,but mark my words I WILL get to Beach Club someday!! So thats the plan n I'm sad very sad but I know i'm still going so theres that!

and how can you continue to sulk when something amazing appears in your mailbox? OKay one of my DIS friends has a TA page on facebook n she partnered with a jewellery maker to do giveaways after liking n sharing countless times n answering a bunch of Disney trivia questions oh n trying to win 3 separate pieces I did win something,and not just any something but the piece i liked the most modelled after my fave villain ladies n gewntlemen check out this amazing little beauty



if you don't know thats Maleficent and i love it so much definitely taking that on the trip and when the movie comes out in may you can bet i'll be wearing it there too! oh and in other news my table is in limbo since its not halloween anymore n not yet christmas



I got a new cookie jar!!!! how do ya like it? it was regular 60$ but i got it 50% off with the purchase of a jim shore piece can you guess which one? and then for signing up for a points card i got an additional 20% off on top of that and that my friends is how i keep happy disney retail therapy for the win!!! see ya real soon

 

[Pluto0809]

The pumpkins are very cute!

So sorry that you lost Beach Club. But you will get there someday I know it! I've been looking at pictures of Animal Kingdom Lodge and wondering how I could swing that one!

Oh ariana you are one smart cookie! I did get my munks and thanks I'm hopeful i'll make it to beach Club too

 

[oopsiDAISY]

Pumpkin guts...ewwww!!! I am so sorry about having to cancel BC. I know you were really upset about that. As I said before...Disney will always be there, and so will the Beach Club!

That necklace is so gorgeous! I would totally wear it!

Sooo..... what points card did you get? B and I just applied and got approved for the Disney Visa Premier Awards card today! With the $200 gift card bonus after the first $500 purchase, and the rewards we will get by using it to pay monthly bills (that we WILL pay off at the end of every month) we should end up with about $350 of free $$$$ for our cruise!!!

Your ticker is BEA.U.TI.FUL!!!

 

[cheekypoppins]

oh the points card I got is not a credit card one or anything it's from Carlton cards so when I make purchases I earn points n the points add up n can be redeemed for a percentage off what I buy the more points i earn the higher the percentage gets

 

[DMGeurts]

[cheekypoppins]

Hey everyone i'm in a very hyper and Happy mood today so that can only mean one thing ...UPDATE TIME!!!! So i'm excited theres 3 weeks left and things are starting to come together.Lasty night we had crazy winds here and i couldn't sleep so i grabbed my ear phones (to be sure n not wake the munchkins) and watched you tube on my cell phone.I watched videos of my favourite Disney music loop (oopsi you know thew one) and then I watched the Christmas parade and I was surprised to see so many costume changes from the last time I saw it(several years ago) the reindeer are completely different and super cute! the dancers had new costumes that were brighter and much nicer ,but I was happy to still see the classic soldiers.THis got me super excited for the upcoming trip I was almost tempted to watch Holiday wishes and celebrate the season but decided that i needed to save some of it for when I'm there in the flesh.I'm boycotting video and pics of the jingle cruise though because I don't want to spoil it for myself.It just put me in such a great mood.I can't wait to see all of the decorations in all of the parks and all the Christmas merchandise and music and omg I could just cry happy tears thinking about it! Enough about that though I gotta get to the nitty gritty here already lol.I put up my little Charlie brown tree........



I don't have a topper star or angel but I have Tink one with a star and my kids are my angels so I just hung that close to the top,it works for me !

and here's one with the lights on



Oh and I've been getting ready for Disney with the help of my mom ,she bought ry and I xmas shirts to wear to MVMCP

and glow wands for the girls at night




and guess what came in the mail last week? A package from oopsi YAYYYYYYY I didn't get any pics though because we opened it in the car on the way to my moms but she sent awesome star wars gifts for ry's bday and Minnie mouse toiletries for miss H and My fave american candy WOOHOOO!!!! so thankyou very much congo connie xoxo.I love Disney mail!!! oh and thats not all that came our christmas party tickets arrived Friday aswell



and I have some things I've gotta pack for the trip too ....now the other day I was looking at something on Facebook where someone was saying that when they go to Disney close to Christmas they like to pack "tinkerbell gifts" for their kids,I thought that's so cute but whenever I've gone near Christmas i've done the same I just always referred to them as from Santa goofy,so it's neat to see that others do the same but just by a different name.anyway the point of all this is that i found some cute little stockings for santa goofy to fill up for my nashville children while at Disney! Yayyyyy



aren't they so cute? I got some for my kids too,and I recently discovered that Duffy can wear some build a bear clothes so I had to pick up something else from santa goofy for the Duffy bears in our house(who will be coming to disney)

so I found this stitch one for Miss Riley



and while I am fully aware that Duffy is a boy you'll just have to forgive me on the next one because WDW unfortunately does not have Shelliemay so that means Duffy gets to be a girl in our house too,and who better to have a crossdressing duffy Bear than Hailey( besides did you see her comment about manlady bears at country bear jamboree? if not ure missin out!) so she gets an Ariel one complete with wig!!



I can't wait to see how that looks so i'm very excited for the trip now oh and i suppose you might wanna be filled in on some of the deets huh?well i have a dismeet planned with Mr rob,a fellow Canadian woot woot! he was hoping to have someone accompany him to ETTWB and we are the lucky chosen ones for the job so I'm very stoked for that on day 2 .it'll be my very first dismeet and i just can't wait to be kiiiiinnnggggg,no but seriously i can't wait for that!
omg i'm so excited that i'm just kinda all over the place here lol okay back to day one teehee I just found out that on day 1 for us MK will be open until 1 am ,do you even realise the damage that will be done on this day? I don't think Disney will know what hit them when I get to stay in the park that late that'll be the latest i've ever been!!!!
this means that since I will have been awake since 3 am to catch a shuttle at 4 n flight at 6 then get to the most awesome place to ever exist in the whole history of everdom (new word?) that I will go directly to Epcot do not pass go do not collect 200$ then dinner at Bog then staying in the park until FREAKIN 1 am!!!!!! AHJGFJ<HGFHKDGFHJJ!!!!!!!! I will be over tired and delerious( I totally spelled that wrong n do not care ) and that kinda makes me feel bad for all of you not getting to witness the craziness that will ensue!( I'm sticking my tongue out at you!)PLUS I'll be with riley n she totally gets the sillies too when over tired.
okay now we can go back to Day 2 haha! okay so my mom has been making us Disney aprons because i saw kids ones on pinterest and I had to have them but in my size so my mom was called upon to invent a pattern for moi ( so far i've got jessie and snow white) but the reason i'm telling you this is that when h had her special trip in may with mumma she went to the pirates league n got the mermaid make over so Riley gets a special event to do too and since my mom made her a queen of hearts costume apron and brought her back the matching head band from the parks,she has chosen to go to the wonderland tea party at the GFLO.this excites me because they have a photopass photographer to take pics and last time the girls went we got great pics out of it!I'll have to find those in my comp n show u guys here!! anyway enough of my ramblings for one day i've got dishes to do 9 where are my mice and blue birds when I need them???) hope you all have a magical day and don't forget to wish mickey mouse a happy 85th birthday See ya real soon !!!!

I am so excited for you but also insanely jealous. I want to go back for the Christmas stuff but with the trip coming up in February it's just going to have to wait till next year. I can't wait to read all about the Christmas party as I haven't been to one yet.

Love your Christmas tree! I'm pretty sure I have a few of the same ornaments. I especially like the Castle one. I haven't put up a tree in a couple of years since it's just Jim and I. I do have a little ceramic one that I put out. I almost bought a new tree last weekend but then I started thinking about how much work it is to put one up for just the two of us.

OMGoodness!!!! So much Christmas cheer on your PTR today!!! I will let you have it without being a Scrooge since you all have already had your Thanksgiving. I don't do Christmas until Thanksgiving has it's time to shine!

LOVE all the gorgeous Disney ornaments on that tree!!! We still don't have a whole lot of Disney ornaments for ours.

You were totally cracking me up with the cross-dressing Duffy bit! Yep, Ariel Duffy needs to go see those manlady bears while he/she is in the World!

So glad you all liked your stuff we sent you! You are a very lucky lady indeed....you know that we both like the same American candy bar as a favorite, right? I sent that to you and didn't even get myself one...so you are lucky YOURS made it into the box.

Love the t-shirts your mom got for you all to wear, so cute! GOOD-NESS...you trip is just around the corner!!!!

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Haha, I don't know why the word "Ear phones" made me laugh. Maybe it's the Disney in me.

I saw that tree on FB. I have my tree up all year so maybe I'll post a pic soon.

Ahhh you got your party tickets! I have mine set for Will Call (didn't want to pay the shipping), but apparently I can pick them up right at POP!! Oh and whatever you do, DON'T LINK THEM ON MYDISNEYEXPERIENCE.

YAY FOR DISMEETS!!!! I am very excited. I also plan to be at MK on the 9th for EMH!! I figure since the party is on the 10th and I'll be going to the park a little later than normal, LATE NIGHT MK the night before!!
