FINALLY going to Florida - TOMORROW - Go to last page for more info

Hey peeps. I just wanted to share this site with you. If you click on the "character" button in the side menu and then click "Disney", there are a lot of really cute t-shirts. A few I'm contemplating for my trip.

Mighty Fine

 

[that's nice]

I've decided my PTR and eventual TR needs a mascot? But what?? Other people have had Mascots for their TR's. Liesa has Tate. Yuki has McDuff. Rosie has Dancing Poles.

But what will mine but. Stay Tuned for my quest to find a little friend to share my journey to The World.

Hi there!!! Remember me?


I've toured with a mascot before.... if you call Michael Jackson a mascot.

WOOPS! How did that picture get in here???!!!???!!!??? LOLOLOL

Anyway.... you get the 'picture'!

I LOVED Tangled! I don't understand why my eyes teared up a few times... Maybe my DW needs to dust more? I liked the fact that it wasn't a totally GIRLY movie and had some funny parts. Pascal was so funny and the scene when Rapunzel and Flynn go into the Tavern was hilarious!

Thanks for the link to the t-shirt site! I like those, especially the vintage looking ones! I'm also on board with the mascot idea - too cute! Now, what to bring? It can't be too small so it won't get lost, but it also can't be too big so that it won't be cumbersome in the parks... Also, after seeing that post from that's nice, is it required for the mascot to be kidnapped to take it on the trip to WDW?

Since I can't figure out how to change the little poll I put on my thread I'll just ask you guys here.

I just noticed that the park times are posted on WDWinfo.com, so I'm trying to make out a tentative schedule and ADR's.

What park should I spend my birthday in???

If YOU could spend your birthday in ANY Disney park what would it be??

OR

Do you go to IoA and hit up the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

TIM!!! I have been cracking up for the past 5 mins with this. OMG. Ok, you need to come back on here (not as much as before because I know you are super busy) but we've missed your .... well youness is all I can say, on here. I still can't believe you got a photopass photographer to take a pic of MJ. Did you bring him on your recent trip? Please say yes.

 

[smileycrissy]

Kristin, I'd say pick your favorite park and go there. Just keep in mind that on the weekends the parks are a lil more packed than during the weekend because you have the bored locals like me going then. Heck, if you really want go to IOA and celebrate. Where ever you go, it'll be the best birthday ever for you!!

Just make sure you get the 'Just Engaged' buttons too when you go to Disney. I did that for my birthday and it was really nice to hear 'Happy Birthday' and 'Congrats'. A few people thought he had proposed for my birthday. I had picked HS for my birthday celebration because I had wanted to get my Beeker hat... which I still haven't posted the pic of it on my TR. I better go do that now. But anyway I think I would've preferred MK to celebrate just because it is the MK however I still had a blast at HS.

 

[that's nice]

Also, after seeing that post from that's nice, is it required for the mascot to be kidnapped to take it on the trip to WDW?

It's a long story... but in this case it MJ was kidnapped from us and then shipped to us while we were in Disney.

Hey Dude. Welcome back!!!

First of all, I love the micheal jackson doll!! I want one. Best. Mascot. Ever.

I'm sure you can find your very own MJ on Ebay for around $100,000!

Tim, I love that Michael got his own photopass border.

In the picture of MJ in fron tof AK, the PP photographer lined MJ up for about 10 minutes to get the perfect shot!

It was so funny!!!! There is a whole story behind how MJ got to Disney with us. If you click on the Family, Friends, & Celebrities- A MAGICAL Birthday TR!!! down there in my signature you can read all about it. Post #2 has a TOC and if you start at #17 you can read about MJ... the following posts have pictures of MJ throughout the rest of our trip!

Well guys I FINALLY got around to photographing those lithographs and the bag I got for pre-ordering Tangled on Blu-ray.

Here are the Lithographs for your viewing pleasure.

This is the folder they came in

And the reusable bag, which Steve toted around the outlet mall, LIKE A BOSS!

 

[Tink-erin-belle]

I love your park plans and that you chose MK for your birthday. The lithographs are beautiful and I really like the bag!

 

[smileycrissy]

Yeah they would've totally had me sold to purchase Tangled just on the bag. It it too cute and so sweet that Steve was such a trooper wearing it around the mall.

By the way, how are you feeling? Fully recovered?

After I watched the movie I decided, it was indeed $25 well spent.

Crissy, you remembered about my surgery! You're so sweet. Thanks for asking. Yes I'm doing well as far as the surgery goes.

Ever since I had surgery, I've been having lots of trouble with my rheumatoid arthritis. But I'm going to a new doc in a few weeks, so we'll see what he says.

Unfortunately, my family was not blessed with good health.

Hi Erin.

I'm super excited to spend my birthday in MK!!

 

[smileycrissy]

Just stopping in to say 'Hi'!!

 

[YukiPhnx]

Hey Kristin!!!

I hope you've been well! I bought that bag even before the movie came out. It's just so cute! I also love how little girls notice it when I go shopping with it.

Those lithographs are SO PRETTY. The one with Maximus is adorable!

 

[PennyLane1084]

Hi Peeps. I'm still alive, I've been so busy lately I haven't had a lot of time to jump on the boards. I also think I broke a Dis Cardinal Rule by missing my ADR day. The other day I was thinking "Wait a minute, I think my date for ADRs passed last week." Hopefully I'll get that all booked up today.

 

[PennyLane1084]

I've so busy at work that I totally missed my 180 day mark to make my ADRs. Luckily it was only by a week. Today, since I had some breathing room before we start getting busy again, I figured I would take advantage of the time to make my ADRs. Drum Roll Please.............

I'm planning to grab something at Starring Rolls for breakfast. AFter we do the mad dash to TSM for FPs.
