Have 527 Days Until Our Vacation, But I Need Some Disney Magic Now!*22 DAYS TO GO!!!!

[Corrine 1973]

Awesome deal on the suitcase! I still wish we had a DO here.

Fingers are crossed for your March trip! I know waiting is so hard!!

You should be happy there isn't a DO by your house, it keeps stealing all my money. Waiting is super hard, but hopefully my waiting will be done soon. If we don't make the reservation by friday we will be loosing out on the up to 30% off deal. And a couple of days later it will have to paid in full so that is stressing me out (even though lets be honest. It's mostly his money that will go to the trip.)

Just wanted to say, I know you are thankful for your little miracle Rylee! He is absolutely adorable!

Thank you, Rylan is definatly my little angel.

Went on a movie date with my little girl this evening. We went to see Beauty and the Beast. To be honest I could have done with out the 3-D, but being able to see one of my favorite Disney Movies on the big screen with my favorite little girl was pricless.

During the previews they advertise Star Wars: the Phantom Menace coming back on the big screen in 3-D in Feb. I can already see the movie date I will be taking with Liam.

Actually they were a two drinking glasses. Looking back I can see how it could have been misunderstood as sunglasses. I just got a nice pair for Christmas in a D&G case so I don't loose them. I am notorious for loosing my sunglasses. Once when I had a Geo Tracker and I forgot my sunglasses were tucked away behind the sun viser. The Windows and top was down, so when I flipped down my sunvisor there went my favorite purple sunglasses.

ROFL... about it being drinking glasses... I was all excited for a minute there - just to prospect of having Donald sunglasses.

[I did see a great Donald shirt who's body went to the neck and it was supposed to look like your head on Donald's body. I was so thinking of getting it for you but I didn't know your size so I supressed the urge.

Awww... Very nice of you to think of me. I soooo wish we had a DO here.

So about a week ago I found some cute fabric for the outfits I want to make for DAK. Before I was even able to start cutting the fabric I went from only making 2 outfits to making 3 outfits. I hoped I had enough fabric (always get more than I need) but unfortunatly I did not. So I went back to Hobby Lobby yesterday to buy more fabric. I also got some red fabric with mickey heads on it, have something in mind for this.

I have been busily working on the first skirt. Hope to show you soon.

Almost done with the lumpy dress as well, but had to put it aside for awile to make this outfit for a friend who is going to WDW soon.

 

[DMGeurts]

Everything sounds awesome! I can't wait to see!

Love your plans so far! We are going in Jan. 2013 so passing the time is difficult!! I know!! My cousin just had lunch at Hollywood and Vine with the characters and said the food was GREAT! And the characters are so cute!! She sent me a pic and I showed my kids who are all about it!!

I finished the outfit, but unfortunatly I don't feel comfortable posting a picture yet. I made it for someone else and I don't want them to see here until they can see it in person. It came out real cute though and as soon as they recieve it I will proudly post a pic of the completed work. Hope to start on Mia's soon. I just have to finish cutting out the pieces. (Why does it seem to take more time to cut out everything than it takes to actually sew it.)

The time between now and the trip next year is going very slow but than again at the beginning of the trip I had 527 day to go and now I only have 491. OK maybe not a huge diffrence, but it's a diffrence none the less.

So at this time I would love to tell you that my trip for March is a go, but unfortunatly no word as of yet. It's stressing me out and giving me nightmares. I have literally had WDW dreams all this last week. OK maybe not nightmares but waking up to this cold Chicago weather has been very disappointing.

It's been very cold here this week. I think the highest temp has been about 20 while the lowest was down to 3. And as I look out the window right now I see lots and lots and lots of snow falling. So much snow that the movie at the school was cancelled. I was so looking foward to watching Smurfs with my kids while eating some pizza.

So here is a little update of the few plans I have made for the possible trip in March. I have made a couple of ADR's that I can always cancel in case we are unable to go.

Thursday- Dinner at Rose & Crown
Friday- Dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern
Saturday- Lunch at Mamma Melrose
Sunday- Breakfast at Tusker House

I couldn't resist the last one. It might be a adult trip, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have breakfast with a few characters.

I have also been thinking of outfits for our trip in 2013. Lets face it, with over a year to go, I don't have any excuses about not having some great outfits. So here are a couple of ideas I have going.

DAK -Animal print skirt with Pink t with mickey head. (cutting out and hope to start on tomarrow afternoon.
Repunzel dress probably for a MK day.
Dress with cinderella on it for 1900 park fare
Epcot skirt with diffrent flags on it for the worlds
A fairy dress to go with the bag I am going to make her

These are just a few ideas, the only one I have already figured out is the DAK outfit in which I am going to make my friends DD to. The rest are just things in my head so it will be intresting what comes out of it. I would also like to match with my Mia a little bit. Such as make myself a Tshirt that matches her t from the DAK outfit. I also really liked the Epcot jeans on Marianne's TR so I might just have to steal that idea.

Well that's it for now. Talk to all soon.

 

[DMGeurts]

I can't wait until you can show us what you made!

And I also can't wait until your friend gives you the verdict for March!

All of your plans for outfits sound fabulous - and I think it is so awesome that you are starting already... make sure you do them big for growth.

Love your plans so far for March. I hope you have an answer soon.

I recieved an answer yesterday, and unfortunatly it isn't the one I was hoping for. At this time he is unable to get the money from his father since his father is waiting for a large check that he hasn't recieved yet. He is hoping to bring up the subject in a couple weeks so we are not a total no go yet.

I have also been looking into my money and since I am putting money aside every week I should be good if I don't put as much aside from my taxes as I planned and put that money toward the trip.

In my head I will be going and I will not give up until there are no other options. So since I still have some options ahead of me, wish me luck and send me some pixie dust.

Plus I have been entering that DISNEYDAY contest everyday, so you never know.

As for the outfits I am making them a size larger so according to how she has been growing for the last 6 years I shall be fine. I know it's a bit of a long stretch, but I am planning on making mostly skirts for her and leaving the waist band open in case I need to make it smaller. The capris I am making might be a bit harder so maybe I will just wait with those.

 

[DMGeurts]

Glad you finally got an answer back, even if it wasn't the one you wanted. However, I am very happy to hear that you are still trying to find a way to go, and maybe if we all send some PD your way... Dustin' you now, my friend.

That's good that you are going a size up... that is something I would neglect to remember until after I made a few outfits - LOL, so I just thought I'd be your back up.

I couldn't find your outfit on Kiera's MAW PTR... Not sure why, I went through pages 5, 6 & 7... I did look though.

Really crossing my fingers that something will work out for you.

I'm sorry that the answer you got wasn't what you were hoping for. However, fingers are crossed something will happen and you'll get to take a trip! I hope we all win a OMDD trip! I have forgotten a couple of days here and there, but have been real good at entering daily.

That's a smart move on the outfits. Sometimes I forget that my kids grow like weeds when I buy things.

 

[Terkina]

Fingers crossed that you will get better news about the trip soon.

 

[Corrine 1973]

Thanks for your well wishes and words for encouragement, it really does get me motivate.

Sorry that I have been MIA for a few day. I have still been lurking around all of your PTR's but since I have not had any new information to share it's been realy hard for me to show up to my own PTR. But enough of the pitty party. I am bound and determinded to find a way to WDW. Come March 8th I plan to be soaking up the warm florida sun.

So now with that all out of the way, since I finally got my camera all charged up I have few pictures I want to share with you.

First one is a picture of the great Princess Suitcase that my great CM friend found for me.

Here is a picture of the side so you can see all of it sparkly goodness.

Next is a pic of the great Mickey Ears I bought for Mia (at first) I ended up going back and get two more for me and my friends DD (she didn't want one.)

Next is the pair of glasses that I bought. No not sunglasses, drinking glasses.

So next I wanted to share with you some things I just finishing making. I am going to show you two outfits that are very similar but also just a little bit diffrent.
The first was shipped out and recieved yesterday so I feel comfortable showing it now.

I designed and made the skirt from scratch, I added the mickey head to the pink shirt, and added the green bow. I can not claim credit for the hat. I bought the hat at Hobby Lobby and added the green bow to match the outfit.

The next is the outfit I made for Mia because she just had to have one.

Can you tell the diffrence? There is one in both the skirt and the shirt.
Here is close up of the shirt.

I am making one for my friends DD as well. I already finished the skirt and ironed on the mickey head to the shirt. Now I just have to stich around the edges and add the green bow.

Talk to all of you fine ladies later.

 

[cogero]

great job on both the outfits. I love the fabric and colors you used.

 

[sl_underwood]

Love the outfit... super cute! March 8th is my birthday! Would love to go to Disney for my birthday... maybe next year! If anyone can make it happen, you can! I know you will have an amazing trip!

 

[DMGeurts]

I love everything!

Well I spotted the difference in the shirt - crown vs. bow... But I seriously cannot see a difference in the skirts. Either way, you did a fabulous job on both of them!

D~

 

[Lidian]

The suitcase is adorable!

DD has the Princess Pirate Mickey Ears. She got them in .... 2010 at CBR! She said she'll be taking them with her this year.

Adorable glasses! I don't think they'll fit on my head though.

I love both of the outfits! The bows are adorable! And Mia's with the crown, how sweet!

The differences in the shirts is the bow versus the crown. The skirts have the zebra print going different directions. You did a great job!!! Now more closer so you can help me make cute stuff like this!!!!

Love the outfit... super cute! March 8th is my birthday! Would love to go to Disney for my birthday... maybe next year! If anyone can make it happen, you can! I know you will have an amazing trip!

So you're missing your birthday party this year? We are having a big DISmeet at POR on the 8th. I'll bring a cake if you make an appearance.

Thanks Chiara

Ahh, Lora, you are so sweet. I do tend to be determined when I really want something. The baby's birthday is March 5th. Go Pisces!!!

I love everything!

Take a second look at the zebra print. You will see that it does horizontal while Mia'a goes vertical. On the last skirt that I will hopefull show latter today, the top skirt is horizontal while the bottom one is vertical. It was more done because that was the only way I could get it out of the fabric that I had left and I didn't feel like going back to Hobby Lobby and buying more fabric.

 

[pinkxray]

Great job on the outfits They look adorable

I love that pink suitcase. I saw it in the Disneystore a few months ago and was hoping DD would want it, but she doesn't want a suitcase with princesses on it anymore

When I first wrote on here that I bought them, D thought I was talking about sunglasses.

Thanks Liddian, and good eyes. You saw the diffrence.

So you're missing your birthday party this year? We are having a big DISmeet at POR on the 8th. I'll bring a cake if you make an appearance.

I think you should bring the cake anyway and have a slice for Lora.

Thank you pinkxray.

I am lucky that my daughter is still into princess' but I know it wont last forever. On one sad day she isn't going to want any more princess stuff. Her Grandmother is already working on her, telling her that she isn't a "Real" princess. I haven't even told her about the trip yet because I know she would try to change Mia's mind about going. She definatly doesn't understand why I would want to go again. She even told Mia that DL is bigger (and better) than WDW. And yes she has been to WDW . . . once. . . back in the mid to late 70's.

Now I have no problem with people having there own oppinion about things, but it really angers me when they try to force their opinions on me or my children.
