"Having a GRAND time - The Official GF Chat Thread"

[Cinderumbrella]

Sorry Kristan! I know you are going to have a blast. It is good to know that you can go from the Pop to the GF ....adds character!

You go girl.

Kristin's gonna come back and tell us we're all dummies for paying to stay GF when we could stay Pop.

ok I seriously laughed outload at that remark.... yup Kristin is taking one for the team

In desperate times, people go to desparate measures!!! Everytime I get crabby about my Motel 6 room, I will think of my happy place (the GF) and remind myself of our 10 days in December

FYI my little WW friend...
margaritas are a billion calories a glass
wine is 90 calories a glass....

So instead of the mixer just pack your wine cellar

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost died when I saw how many calories were in a 'rita!!! I drink them VERY sparingly now (Pinot Noir, on the other hand )

Seriously...no joking aside.... STOP DRINKING DIET COKE!!!!!!!! Don't do it.... throw it out.... yuck yuck yuck....
Do you know what that crap does to your diet?!?!?!?!?

1. it DOES effect your blood sugar levels making you get serious munchies... it is no calories but it makes your blood sugar like a roller coaster!!!
2. It expands your stomach!!!!! It really does.. don't believe me? Take a 2 litter bottle..freshly opened and stick a balloon on that sucker. That is what it is doing to your gut! It will make you EAT more!
3. Its full of crap that is REALLY not good for you AT ALL

Stick with non carbonation type drinks. You will have a much easier time losing weight if you toss that junk.

:::: stomping through Channing's pantry .... pouring all diet coke down the drain::::::
GET OFF THE STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DON'T CARE!!! IT IS MY COCAINE AND I AM KEEPING IT!!!!!!!!!!!
(Seriously, I limit myself to 2 per day and everything else I drink is water to countereffect the badness)

I am thinking of going back to the GF in March 12-18 2020

Anyone know what the weather is going to be like that week?

Oh yeah everything fit great. The thing is I used 2 different seamstresses and its comparing apples to oranges I guess... the dresses I have pic'ed with savannah wearing are made by 1 lady and the other dresses were made by Janet. (no relation to .... well janet jackson hehe)

Anywho... Janet is a much better dressmaker!!! You should see how well these dresses are made! The seams are perfect... great facing job.... double lines with very heavy fabric... none of that cheap walmart material!!! She is the one that makes those pricey costumes.... she did a FANTASTIC job BUT is really slow on the whole making them and shipping so if you plan to use her... no last minute ordering!

The other dresses are CUTE but aren't as well made... if that makes sense?

I love the flips! I am a little worried about the toe thingy giving her a blister ... I am going to have to yank out that mole for the trip... I just know it

 

[mandymommy4]

OMG! LOOK AT THOSE DRESSES AND FLIP FLOPS!

**** firing up my sewing machine and heating up my glue gun*****

MUST DO BETTER!

Disney on a Dime was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course they did it for $1500, they only went for 3 stinkin days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DH saw the Pop part and is nervous all over again... I told him its not too late to upgrade but he won't back down!!

Lindsay- SCORE on the cake!!! I can't wait to see pics!!

To our new poster, who's name I can't remember for the life of me , WELCOME TO THE MADNESSS!!!!

DS is taking a nap and DH is at the store buying a Hummer Power Wheels for DS's birthday He is going to FLIP when he sees it!!!!

Have a great day ladies! (and Mike!!! )

Great - Maybe I will look at Janet's stuff....a couple sundresses would be nice to have. With all I ordered I sure did see differnces in the quality & fabrics between all the diff sellers. My mom is a super talented seamstress, so I have really never seen garbage sewing work until I started ordering on Ebay!!! Do you remember her Ebay username??? There is a couple I need to stay away from......

The toe thingy.....well, we had our issues. We would save the adorable flips for use in and around the GF and for our special dining and then take them off and I carried in my backpack (the overstuffed one) shoes for each of the girls to wear walking around in. They both like Teva Mush flips for comfort and *gasp* Crocs makes a cute style called Audrey only available in Hallmark stores and they are nice w/dresses & the girls thought they wre comfy. they come with a ribbon bow detail that you can replace to match diff outfits.....that's what worked best for us.

Kristin~ when they showed POP I thought of you
Disney is Disney ... you will have fun I am sure!!!!

Mandy~ arent' they adorable? I wish I could make stuff like that but I am just not that talented

Channing~ Her ebay store link: http://stores.ebay.com/MOM2RTK-Designs
She is a HUGE Disney freak and loves making Disney dresses for her own daughter at the parks. She is REALLY friendly and great to email with... tell her I said HI!

 

[praline3001]

OMG look at her latest creation!!!!!
At $350 my hubby would shoot me

 

[Lives4Disney]

thanks brook! I found her- had her saved in my "favorites"...but the power went out - we are having mega MEGA wind today!

OMG>...Jojo IS Snow White. I love that dress....adorable. I even bought Jo a Jasmine outfit and shoes in March and it still has tags on it though....we just have too many cute things. PLUS I have gone totally nutso on the Limited Too clothes and have gobs of bonus buck cards so they will be bringing lots of L2 cute outfits. Girls are sooo fun. Expensive, but sooo much fun!

 

[Lives4Disney]

Brook....I think Savannah would look adorable in that Cinderella dress....it's only $250...such a bargain.

Yeah she said the same thing
Daddy like the $50 cindy sundress much much better
But the dress we have is not on her store.... its cuter than what she has NOW for the cindy sundress

 

[praline3001]

This is the material she used but she made it in the same style as the tink dress... its really cute!

 

[princessesrule4]

That is gorgeous - Love the red cape!

My DH would give me the Heisman on that for my DD,too!
No matter that Snow White is her fav and it was her first Disney princess costume! (The $55 version!)

 

[lovemy2boys]

Adorable dresses! I wish I had daughters to spoil! (we have 3 boys)

 

[lovemy2boys]

Here is an article that mentions the Grand suite along with Royal palm club information and pics!

Oh that is great! thank you! I can't believe what I am reading though.... piano IN THE ROOM?!?!!?

 

[lovemy2boys]

Is there a cake thread or special orders thread or info that anyone has? I would love to special order a cake for my boys while we are there! I have seen some pix on the board of INCREDIBLE cakes!

 

[tinklvr64]

Wow that Snow White dress is beautiful...since I have 2 teen boys now I guess I will have to wait for a grand baby(way far off) to spoil with something like that. Not that I want my daughter to have one anytime soon

Channing~I am off to baseball. Jeez its windy out...I will be freezing my b**t off there!

Brook~do you know what is the difference between lap band and gastric? I am curious for a friend (no really) who needs it badly. Would insurance pay for her? Her knees just gave out and she is going to have to have surgery, they told her to lose a lot of weight to ease the pressure.

I am bummed cause I just found out that MVMCP is not going to be available when we are down there over Thanksgiving. That's one thing I really wanted to do

 

[PrincessPaczki]

Brook, thank you for the e-bay site. Those dresses are adorable. I have 2 boys but 4 nieces, and I know that I am going to buy something from her!!

We just went a little crazy at Limited Too, also. I had a bunch of Bonus Cards and Too Bucks - and we couldn't let them go to waste!

They had a lot of cute stuff- DD got a couple pairs of the plaid shorts- the ones with the sash are especially cute! We got the top pictured with it from the catalog,too. My favorite outfit is the new hawaiian looking skort in the pinks, oranges and yellows with a candy pink empire T and flip flops. I have 2 Too Bucks left but since they're good till June, I thought I'd wait and see what else comes out for Summer! I thought they had a ton of cute things for Spring this year!

Mandy give it a day or two... wash it and redo it. Sometimes the way they style it will make it look shorter.... don't cry just yet!!!!
