Great Loot !!!

 

[Charlefours]

Love it all!! I am glad I do not live too close to a Disney store!! I did put in an order from online yesterday. I will have to post pictures on my PTR once I get it all.

I have to say, that is what I call a very productive shopping trip We can never pass up a Disney bargain.

We are lucky so far, the one Disney Store in our city is still open. It's about 30 minutes from where we live but I go whenever we're in that part of town.

Good luck with the homework!!!

Thats a lot of great things!! So fun. Jeff went online this am and bought some princess and fairy cups for the girls-all by himself with no prompting! I am still waiting for my box. Booked our air today!!

Hooray, I finished reading! Awesome loot from the Disney Store..ours closed a couple of years ago..I miss it!

I'm so glad the surprise for your parents went so well! I love the idea of an album..I bet the initial look on her face when she realized what was going on was just priceless. I'm glad the girls likes their AGs and zhu-zhu's also. The pictures at the Opryland Hotel were gorgeous, I've been to Tn, but only to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. One of my guilty secrets is that I want to see Graceland, badly! (I'm one of those nuts that used to sit and watch the Elvis movie marathons on AMC on his birthday!! ) Okay, enough of my skeletons! I think it's very cool that so many of you are meeting up while you're there..the safari dinner and fireworks cruise sounds great! And how cool would it be to be a DVC member?? Crossing my fingers for you on that one! Okay..I think I caught the highlights..lol. As for my birthday cakes for Piper, simplicity in it's highest form..ie..the Barbie cakes with the big skirt (though I did make it a hula girl last year, I was terribly impressed with myself! LOL), a Dora theme..I bought one of the mini playsets to help me do that one, shaped cake pans. Nothing fancy, though I love the look of fondant, I don't think I'm coordinated enough to pull it off. I'm glad you guys are having a great weekend, ours has been as well, just quiet

Wow, great finds at the Disney Store! I miss having one around here. But then again I guess that's good because now I can't buy anything from there.

 

[leamom2princesses]

Wow....LOVE all the stuff you got!! Chris would like the grumpy shirt!!! I can't wait to finally meet ya'll over there...only one I've got to meet so far is Dana. Sounds like the plans are in full swing!!! We're going in June, hopefully staying at the treehouses....I get to book on friday!! Max of us going is 8....min i guess is 7, not sure about my friend's husband yet. But...should be fun!!

That sounds like a lot of fun. Be sure to send me a PM with a link to your new pre-trippie when you begin!

You got some great loot!

Thanks Lessa!

Great Loot !!!

Thanks Rosie!

Love it all!! I am glad I do not live too close to a Disney store!! I did put in an order from online yesterday. I will have to post pictures on my PTR once I get it all.

Can't wait to see what you ordered!

It was very productive. I was thrilled as all that stuff cost right around $100. I did buy the girls some really cute boots too while we were down there. The Sketchers outlet had the twinkle toes for 30% off. We've been looking for some cute Ugg-like books for Josie and have been unsuccessful finding her size. Finally found some! I wish we had a Disney store close....well maybe I don't...I'd probably be broke all the time.

Yay Jeff! Hope you got your box! So what time are you getting to MCO?

Wow, cool Amanda. I have all kinds of pans and about 20 different Disney themed pans. If you're ever looking for something send me a PM. I'd be happy to loan it to ya. Girl, you need to look into fondant. It's a lot easier than it looks. You know how it's hard to get buttercream to be smooth and look just right, no worries with fondant. It's really easy to mask your mistakes....not that I make any...

I've never been to Graceland but I think it would be really cool. I hope you get to make it there one of these days. We are going to talk to our loan officer before we make the trip in May. We want to have pre-approval in hand when we get down there. Surprisingly, Joe has been doing a lot of research on his own to understand it. I think he's on board 98% right now. Hopefully when we get down there and he sees everything he will be sold. Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed for me.

Hope Piper is doing well this morning and continues to improve. We're still praying for her.

Thanks! I'm kind of glad I have to drive an hour to get to a Disney Store. Only God knows what my bank account would look like if they were closer.

Hi leamom2princesses Saw your pre-trip report title and realized we'll be there during the same time! How cool is that? I love the Poly as well, have stayed there a couple of times, but think we'll be trying the Beach Club for this trip. I too, got the 40% PIN, but now that the AP's discount is out, I can actually save 45%, so I think I'm going that route.

It's going to be a lot of fun planning our trips!

Hiya! Welcome to my PTR! Yay for more folks going in May!!! I can't wait to hear what you have to say about the Beach Club. I was struggling between the Poly and BC when I booked. Thanks again for stopping by! I will stop by your report in just a few!

Hey! Leanne
I thought of you and your parents when I read this...
http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2010/01/11/sneak-peek-at-a-dinner-in-the-great-movie-ride/

that seems like a neat idea...I love all the magic Disney seems to come up with...

 

[MaryAz]

Yay Jeff! Hope you got your box! So what time are you getting to MCO?

Not until about 4p-that pesky 3 hour time difference!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Leanne,
just got a chance to going over your Disney store loot! great job!!! I think Wednesday Ashton and I are going to head over to the mall (I'm sure not much left of sales at our Disney store but we'll see)... I need to hit an Abercrombie store for Dayne.

Have a great day!

Great link Connie! Thanks for sharing it. I could see my Dad really getting into this. Thanks again for letting me have a peek.

Did you get your box?? So what time are you getting into Orlando on the 22nd? I'm thinking we will be in about noon. Based on your post I thought maybe you would be getting in earlier this year also.

 

[kcandbella]

Sooo jealous of all your stuff from the Disney store--it's all so cute! All of the ones in this area closed down a couple of years ago. Why in the world are they closing so many?

 

[leamom2princesses]

Hope you find some bargains Connie! I'm so glad I don't have to shop at Hollister or Abercrombie yet. I know my days a comin though.

Hope you have a great day also!

I did get my box-YAY ME!! Not until 4p and that is leaving here at 715a!! The time difference throws us off. You have the luau that night right?
