Gmax 1st Trip Report W/PICS and Pre-Trip Report for '06

[Glendamax]

So what have I been doing all day . . . making shirts for my trip. Thank you so much Eeyore'sTiara and UtahMama!!!!!

I made two of these for my Mother and I ...After I made it, I found out that I could not iron on the crystals I bought, so I made little hidden Mickeys with them on the sides. On the back of my shirt is a small green Mickey head. I forgot to take a picture of that.

Below is the back of a green t-shirt I bought. I put "DISboards.com" on the back. I dotted the "i" with a crystal.

This is the right sleeve of the shirt. It has the same thing on it, but the dot is a crystal. The crystal was supposed to cover the dot, but it moved as I ironed it on.
I did put a crystal on the dot on the back of the shirt (in the picture above), but it did not stick.

So that's it folks! I'm DONE! If I get a chance, I will take a picture of the green DISer Mickey on the back of the white shirt that my Mother and I have alike. I only put the DISer on the back of mine. See Ya Later

Glenda, those are absolutely perfect. I couldn't have done it better myself. I think it's perfect with the crystals on the side like that! It gives it just the right touch. Probably better than putting them anywhere else. I can't believe you're trying to tell me your craft handicapped. I'm not buying it! These make you look like a pro and now I want one!

I give it two thumbs up!

GM, how on Earth could I have not yet posted to your Trip Report?? I've already congratulated you on your superb T-shirt-making-ability, so please allow me to now commend you on your excellent trip reporting skills as well!

I had no idea you're coming down with your not-as-Disney-obsessed Mom. I know she'll have a great time! Since my divorce 3+ years ago, my Mom has accompanied me and DS on our annual holiday trips to the world. She does not get the Disney thing at all, so I'm always so worried about her when we go. She's also not a morning person. Or an afternoon person. She's more of a 3am person. Imagine this with a 2,3,4 year old who's rearing to go at 7am! And yet, when I booked our upcoming Dec. trip, I told Mom not to feel obligated to come with us, I was okay with taking DS myself if she'd rather not go. Guess what? She really wants to join us! And she's genuinely excited to stay at the Boardwalk Inn, where we've often... I mean never parked when going to Epcot. They come around eventually

Sure hope we run into you guys over the weekend - I'll be on the lookout!

 

[PrincessAlways]

Great shirts!! Hope you have an equally great vacation!

Hey GMax
Love the shirts!!!! I have been very naughty and have not done any special shirts for our trip, Now I feel guilty .
Maybe I'll have to try to squeeze that in ?!* Doubt it will happen!

I'm gonna be lookin' for you at MGM next week!

After some sleep, I got some better shots of the shirts, and took a picture of the back of mine with the Hidden DISer on it. I got the design off of the Creative DISign board. LAter today, I'll find out who designed it, so I can thank them.

Below is the white shirt my Mom and I have alike, but I have the DISign on the back of mine.

This is the plain green shirt I bought. There's nothing on the front, only DIS on the back and the sleeve.

Thank you so much everyone for your feedback! I'm glad you like the shirts. It kinda hard to tell how something looks after working on it alone for hours. I'm glad you all enjoyed the trip report, and is looking forward to reading the next.

I did reply to you guys earlier, but can't find it! I even said something smart back to Lan

Well, I will check back in later today. Thanks again!

 

[Lan]

What did you say smart to me?

 

[amberdansmom]

I'm glad you guys have enjoyed my report! And yes, I'm starting to feel better - finally, thanx!

Ktflisa, my room faced a courtyard, but to my immediate left was the parking lot. When I walked to the parking lot, I had to follow a path, going left through the lot, to get to the shuttle bus stop. At night though, we did get a little confused finding the room.

From the main building, after crossing the bridge to the mansion section, I had to walk to the left, and I took the last path between Oak Manor, and the beginning of the next section. And since 9014 was towards the parking lot, I had to walk almost to the very back.

As I said before, the resort is gorgeous, and I wish I was able to stroll around and enjoy it more. But after walking all day, that wasn't going to happen. And I wish I was closer to the bus stop and main bldg than I was. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask anything else.

Doesn't the park open until 11 right? How'd you guys get in at 8? We will be staying at POP come August and it is our first time doing the resort few days deal we usually only do day trips once a year.

While I was there, the parks closed at 9pm. But keep in mind that the hours are different during off peak season. Take a look at the park hours on Disney's site.

Glendamax. Do you realize your pretrippie on here is longer than last years trippie on here?! Lookling forward to reading your report when you return. Have a great time. Love those shirts you made for your mom and have to wonder about you and EE. Are you going to brave it? I wonder if the spinning tea cups did you in!

oh, and BTW, so sad to hear your friend bowed out of the trip. Wanna take me in her place? I am lots of fun!

As for EE, I plan on riding that LAST. I'm going to get a FP as soon as I enter the park, and when our day there is over, ride it and LEAVE.

And you're right, the pre-trip is longer! This year I intend to do the same. I will add a little bit more personal stuff, but it wont be too long.

Thanks for reading though, smarty pants!!!! OH! Meet us as the airport on this Friday at 10:30am. I'm 5'2", blonde, and I have 6 kids. You can't miss me!

 

[S.Poppins]

Great shirts, GMAX!

Glenda, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing so hard at this. She just might end up in our group!

 

[Glendamax]

Great shirts, GMAX!

Thanks! But I don't want to see another t-shirt for a LONG time!

I'm glad you didn't fall out your chair, but I'm glad you laughed. My producers and I work very hard at writing funny jokes!

 

[summersfam4]

WOW those are cool! I love the shirts, they rock! I may have to get creative (between the hours of 8am and 10pm tonight) and make myself a shirt (I'm a procrastinator YEAH BABY ). Leaving tonight (no jet plane hee hee)
