First return since childhood, first PTR and several other firsts too! Who wants in?

[Howellsy]

Hey, I thought I'd join in considering I'm going at the same time as you (2nd-16th September) and it'll be my first trip from the UK without parents to WDW too - t's so odd having to plan things for yourself!

You and Felicity make such a cute couple - I love that you're childhood sweethearts I've just made ADRs for the first 10 days of my trip (I'll do the other 4 on Monday/Tuesday I think) but I'm staying on site with the DDP so I thought I'd better get them done, or else go hungry for two weeks

Look forward to hearing more about your trip, and seeing lots of pictues!

WOW! What a GREAT trip planned!! And you got some great ressies, too!! Doesn't it seem more real once you have your reservations made and flight booked? I'm so jealous that you'll be there for 2 weeks, you're going to have a blast!!

 

[Sarah84]

Your plans look great, i hate it when it feels like theres not much to plan etc and just waiting for the time to tick by till its time to go

 

[orangetiggs]

why not surprise her even more and propose out there!! we got married in disney on our 9th anniversary and it was fantastic!

We are out there the same time, we fly 27th aug and return 11th sept

 

[princess_momma]

Hi!! You guys seriously make the cutest couple!! Yay!!

Oh and our trips overlap...the only plans I saw overlapping though are MNSSHP on the same night!

 

[jackieleanne]

Great PTR. You make a lovely couple. Oh and hehe there is nothing wrong with being big disney nuts at our age!

Love your plans can't wait to read about them.

 

[MaleDisneyBeliever]

A tiny update for you. Hoping to get some photo's of the kit to show you in the next few weeks before we go.

Only 40 days to go now!

Anyway... I just suprised Felicity with a Disney bracelet. She loves homemade craft items, and I found someone who makes fimo figures online and had her make me a bracelet. It's little fimo figures of Disney Princesses strung together. It's cute. Perfect for our trip! She still likes to be a little girl, and I still like to spoil and suprise her like one!

We just booked the last of our reservations (non-Disney) at NBA City (Universal Citywalk) - somewhere I have never been but I follow the NBA religously from the UK.... and also at the Citywalk, Hardrock Cafe. We've done quite a few HardRocks, but not in Orlando yet.

With 40 days to go, we have set some plans before we go. We have 2 shopping trips planned to treat ourselves to new clothes. We have a night planned to finish making our batch of Disney t-shirts to make (thanks to the creative guys on the DIS)... and also our autograph books. And then we have allocated a Disney DVD to watch every night for a week before we fly!!


On top of all this excitement! Felicity just got a new iPod Touch, seeing as she liked mine so much! I got a Playstation3... and then we thought what the heck, and bought a new Plasma TV too! It does mean I'm half dead mind... from all the hours I am working to pay for our excitment. Take the overtime whilst it's there I guess!

Yay for less than 40 days!! And how sweet of you to have that bracelet made for Felicity!! I hope you take a pic so we can see it!!!

 

[MaleDisneyBeliever]

Here's a couple of photo's of the bracelet I had made.

This is her charmbracelet she found from when she went about 6 or 7 years ago as a kid. Do you know if they still do these?? Was before pins was big! So could have been replaced by the pin craze (which we have bought into from the UK and looking forward to trading for the first time).

 

[Howellsy]

The bracelet you designed is so cool! I want one now And the bracelet she has from WDW looks like the "make-your-own" ones that they still do, where you pick up a bracelet and pick some charms up to go on it, so yep I think they still do these. I didn't see some of those particular charms there last year, so I guess they've just changed the designs and characters a bit

Everytime I read your PTR I get excited for my trip too, it works out pretty well

 

[princess&her4princes]

How cute is that bracelet?! It's so different and adorable, I"m sure she loved it!!!

They still have make your own charm bracelet's, even at POP in the gift shop they had it. So she'll be able to add to it on your upcoming trip for sure!!

Thanks for sharing!!!
