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

[Corrine 1973]

I'm joining in. After our last trip in Oct. I knew it would be awhile before we would be back. Once it became 2012 last week our future trips don't seem so far away. I just put up our tickers that are 2 years away and already know where we will be staying and hopeful ADRs.

DD and I will also be doing a mother/daughter trip when our trip is finally here. Pop sounds like a good choice as does the new Animation place. I would love to stay at the GF since I know DH will never seat foot there but it is so expensive, even if it was 40% off. We will be going in Dec. so we will most likely rent points to stay in a studio at Boardwalk.

Your bag came out great!

Welcome to our PTR pinkxray, glad you can join us. I know what you mean, now that it is 2012 our 2013 trip doesn't seem so far. Your trip seem for well planned already, can't wait to hear more about it.

I would love to stay at GF, but I agree it is way to expensive. I might have to check out renting DVC points if I can get a great resort on a small price. Let me know how it goes. I haven't done it before so part of me still worries about how it would work out.

Thanks for saying that about my bag, I am proud of it. I am on a dress now with Lumpy on it from the Winnie the Pooh movies. I am doing the applique now. Hope to show everyone the dress in a couple of days.

I don't know what your talking about D, I am just trying to keep up with you and all your AG outfits, park bags, and now a book cover.

I actually thought of this dress about a week ago when I was getting some supplies for the bag. I found a remnant of some winnie the pooh fabric with Lumpy on it. I got the idea of making a dress with a modified apron top with the Lumpy character being on blue fabric that is the bottom part of the apron. The Winnie the pooh fabric will be the under skirt.

It is my hope that once I am done to be able to find a buyer. Can't keep everything, right?

Oh and though I still don't know for sure about the spring trip I made an ADR for Boma for March 10 at 7:05. I figured it would be easier to go and cancel a reservation than to try to make one if the trip is on to find no reservations or only one for a bad time. I know, I am just a little bit crazy.

The dress sounds really awesome - I can't wait to see it!

Great idea about Boma - we have an ADR there the same night - we'll probably be leaving as you are coming... If you come - we could do a mini-meet there.

It seems I am always late. Lol. Missed you at Epcot because I was late, and didnt get in on your PTR until it had been up for more than a month! Hope you get to to in a few months, we looked at it before my newest problem arose, dh and I wanted to take an anniversary trip alone but now I am going to do radiation instead. That being said, I wasnt sure I could go without the kids anyway. Cant wait to read more!

Thanks D, I guess this means I need to get my butt off the chair and back to the table to do some sewing before you crack that whip again.

It's never to late to join the PTR especially since we still have over 500 days until we go. I am hoping to be able to go in the spring as well, but I am tring to not get to excieted in case it falls through the crack.

Ok, now back to sewing.

(Does anyone else think there should be a sewing smiley.)

 

[cogero]

I definately think there should be a sewing smiley LOL.

Where's the like button?

Well find it girl, I need it now!!!

So I have been busy sewing away like a little beaver (Do beaver's sew. ) But since I can't show you the complete outfit yet, I thought I would give everybody a little taste. So here is the Lumpy aplique that I just finished.

 

[DMGeurts]

That turned out totally adorable!!! WTG!!!!!

OMG, how adorable!! I love it, Corrine!

I wish I knew how to do appliques... but then again, I do good with straight stitching, so maybe I should just hang there for awhile.

 

[sl_underwood]

Adorable! I hope mine turns out as good!

Thanks Ladies, it means alot to me.

Adorable! I hope mine turns out as good!

Thanks, I am sure it will. I would start with something simple for your first one though, like a Mickey head and experiment the zig zag on some old material first until you feel comfortable with it. Maybe draw some straight lines and curves and try to follow them. That way if you make mistakes it won't matter.

So as of today there are 501 days until our planned trip. You know what that means?

We will have a first official Disney Dance party tomarrow (bringing the band Liddy?) and I will start sharing with you some memories of our 2009 Wish Trip.

Should be an excieting time, so I hope you all come back and join in with the festivities.

 

[DMGeurts]

Whoot!!!! I take it, you don't want me to sing?

D~ <--- Volunteering to bring appetizers then...

I'll totally bring the band!

They had to show early.

I knew I could count on you ladies.

So the band is warming up, the appetizers are on the table, and the drinks are ready, so lets get this party started.

500 days until Disney!!!!!!!



Oh, and just a little bit of news about the possible trip in March. I talked to my friend Bill yesterday (I don't think he will care I used his name) and he told me he will have an answer for me by the end of the week. So I should have some more info by then.

So as I promised, I am going to share with you mini TR's of the last two trip to WDW. We will start with our Wish Trip.

My son Liam was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was 6 years old. Shortly after his diagnosis we went to a CF Confrence where we found out from a MaW represenative that he would be able to make a Wish. Of course his Wish was to go to WDW. None of us had ever been there so we were super excited to go.

Our Trip was September 13-19, 2009.
We stayed at Give Kids the World.
We had special tickets for MNSSHP
We had one great Dismeet during MNSSHP

So now that you have some basic about the trip, let me introduce you to the Cast of Characters.

First of all there is me. I will not bore you with another picture of little old me, you have already seen enough of them.

Next is the Wish Kid, Liam. He is 9 now, but at the time of our trip he was 7 years old. He loves Star Wars, video games, and playing sports.

This is a picture of him showing of one of his many Big Gives. Believe it or not that shirt still fits him and he wore it just the other day.

Next is Ameliya (Mia for short). She is currently 6 years old but was only 4 at the time. You already know all about her!!!

This is one of the dresses she got for the big give. Lovely isn't it. Do you notice how short her hair is? LIam had just decided to give her a hair cut, luckily my mom was able to fix it.

Next comes Aidan. He is now 4, but at the time he had just turned 2. He is the brains of the opperation. He is so smart, but gets bored easily which gets him in trouble. This little boy has actually pushed the screen out of his window and climbed out of the house.

Yes once again this is a pic of an outfit he got from the Big Give. Such wonderful ladies that I am proud to now be a member of.

There will be no picture of my youngest son Rylan on this trip, though he did come with us. I learned just after we got back from the trip that I was pregnant.

The last member of our cast is my brother Jason. I don't have a good picture of him for here, but you will see some pictures of him later.

Here is one finale picture of us with our Wish Volunteers just a couple days before our trip.

And here are a couple more pics of those great big gives.

Me to Liddy, me too.

Thanks for all the smilies, for some reason the big bage wasn't coming up right.
