Former AP holders going through Disney withdrawals...a pre-trip report (with pics!)

[mommaU4]

I love the first apron, with the polka dots. And the 50's apron would be my second choice.

Do you know I've never owned or worn an apron in my life.

Aw, please don't feel guilty about it. I know it's easier said than done, but you guys are spending a lot of time, money, and effort to travel all that way... it should be ok for you guys to spend time at a place that you two love so much and has such a special history for you.

If I were you, I'd use the MM to get on Nemo 1st thing if you haven't been on that ride yet. Sounds like people think it's worth it to go on only if the line isn't insane - which it is unless you get there 1st thing with MM. Then you can probably run over to Fantasyland and still get on the dark rides without too much of a line. That's what I'd do anyway.

I adore that Christmas apron! How perfect for Christmas baking! The other ones are super cute too. But I have to go with your DH on the brown w/ pink polka dots - that is just so adorable!

We went on Nemo last August. It was a cute ride but I don't really care if we go on it again or not. The Nemo ride at WDW was similiar but you aren't in a submarine. Peter Pan always has a huge line so we'll probably hit that one first.

I think the last time I wore an apron was as a kid playing house or possibly helping my mom in the kitchen when I was little.

Now my husband likes the roses one best. He thinks it's the most "classic" looking. He's probably right. I really want something that looks like what a housewife in the 1950's would wear. Haha...yeah...I'm weird. So now I think I'm leaning towards that one. And it's Fall colors which is nice.

That's a winner too! You'll have to take a pic of you in it and share with us.

Yeah...they are all cute aprons so I really can't go wrong with any of them. Not sure when I'll order it though.

Ooooo! I love aprons! I love the 50s Kitchen Apron especially. My mom had all of these old 1950s apron patterns and I begged her to make me one. I picked out a cute baking pattern material and she whipped it up (hopefully she'll teach me how to sew one of these days).

BUT the 50s kitchen one is so retro cool! My thoughts are that if you are going to wear an apron, you might as well go all out!

I think I might get one--what is the site called?

I am enjoying your pre-trip report.
I the story of your engagement. That makes Disneyland one of your very special places if for no other reason that getting engaged there.
I love photos so I am glad to see you including so many.
Can't wait to read more.

The designer/company that makes them is Jessie Steele. Their website is http://www.jessiesteele.com/index.php

There's a section there that lists different places to get them online. Different sites sell them for different prices.

This site has them with the cheapest shipping I've found - http://www.mainstreet-store.com/jswomen.shtml

Also, amazon.com has a few of them. If you decide to get one, let me know which one.

I'm about 99% sure I'm going to end up getting the rose one.

They are all very pretty. I do like the rose one. I was going to get the Kitchen one, but I found one on her site that I liked better. It was a black and white French style one (it matches my shower curtain...hehe ) called Cafe Toile. http://www.amazon.com/Jessie-Steele...2?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1220657934&sr=8-2

$30 is a little steep for an apron IMO, but I'll try amazon and the other store to see what I can find.

I haven't found them for any cheaper than $30, unfortunately.

If you decide to buy from amazon....

The main on in the link you sent is $34.95 plus shipping.

But underneath where it says "IN Stock"....
There's a thing that says "2 more buying choices"

Click that. Through amazon.com you can get it for $29.99 with free shipping.

You may also want to check ebay. I haven't looked there yet.

You and your husband are one of the cutest couples I have ever seen. I'm really enjoying your pre-trip report.

Those are really cute pins you got from eBay. There's no way I could afford to get into pin trading, there are way too many cute ones!

Those aprons are adorable. I love the brown and pink one and the Christmas ones, but those aren't really everyday aprons to me. The flower ones are a good choice.

I'm sure there was more I was going to respond to, but my brain is completely fried right now.

I'm looking forward to reading/seeing more!

Sorry I don't have too much planning to talk about these days. We usually play most things by ear when we get there. My actual trip report will hopefully be a little more exciting. I plan on taking tons of pictures. On our last Disneyland trip we took over 350 photos between the two of us (we each have a camera.) On our WDW trip we took 1005 photos. Yikes! It's a pain to organize them all post trip though since they were taken on different cameras. It's hard to get them in the right order.

We also have a lot of similiar photos so I have to decide which one I like better.

Examples from our last trip.....

And there are many more where that came from...haha. We both really enjoy snapping photos. So yeah...my trip report will more than likely be loaded with Disneyland photos. And maybe some beach photos and stuff like that too. So I'm sorry if I bore people until January (hopefully I'll still have some readers when the actual report rolls around.)

Since I haven't talked about the trip much lately (there's not a whole lot of planning to talk about right now)...I decided to post some Disneyland photos.

These are from March 2005.....

Hi there!

I love your pics, especially the matterhorn! I'm sure it is, but it really DOES NOT look safe!

The ride doesn't look safe? Or climbing it doesn't look safe?

It was great and I miss it. It actually feels a little odd to write a trip report and plan months in advance for a place I've been to hundreds of times...haha.

thanks for joining!

Gone.

Hi there, I love the Disneyland pics!! Thanks for sharing. And as for the ones of you in the shirt, I think they look fine! I know it's probably harder for you because you might be thinking about how it did look or would have looked before the 20 lb gain, but to me, it looks good.

And if you are looking for a "baby bump" you can find that on just about anyone! LOL The media is always playing the baby bump game now and it's so silly. Shoot, if some actress has a big lunch they say she's pregnant.
