Hey Howdy Hey! We're spending 4th of July w/Mickey..this time w/DxDP! *TR Started*

[martinolichfamily]

On to the Plan for Day 6 (July 7th).....Magic Kingdom Day...again!!! Maybe park hopping too but not sure where yet!

Our Breakfast ressie is Crystal Palace @ 8:20a. This is another first for us!
I am really looking forward to walking down Main Street before the park opens! Another first!

DD & DS have a BBB appointment @11:00am! DD is getting the CROWN Package (includes Hair Style, Shimmering Makeup, Nails, Princess Sash)! We will be bringing a Cinderella Dress w/us from home and may buy the Cinderella shoes once we are there or before....not definate yet. I would to do the CASTLE Package (includes Hair Style, Shimmering Makeup, Nails, Princess Sash, Princess Costume and Shoes, Crown, Wand, and Imaging Package, which includes 1 - 6x8 and 4 - 4x6 photos in a beautifully themed photo holder) for DD but...I really cant get over that price tag that comes with it!
DS is getting the COOL DUDE package (includes Hair Style, Colored Gels/Sparkles, Mickey Face Stencil).

I have no plans for lunch...wherever we are at the time is where we'll stop for lunch.

After lunch we may hop over to another park or two maybe depending on time and all of course!

For Dinner we have a ressie for 1900 Park Fare @ 8:15p! DD will wear her Cindy dress at dinner!
We ate here last year and really enjoyed it..the food...atmosphere...characters..all was great!

After Dinner (since its a little later) we will just return to our room for a good nights sleep hopefully!


For the shirts this day....DD will wear that I have a wonderful DISign for! DS is probably going to have a Splash Mountain shirt to wear...he loves that ride!


Next........... Day 7 plans!

Your plans sound like a alot of fun. I bet your DD will love it. My DD would not do so well with it as she has a head full of curls and hates having anyone do it.

Hi Heather!

Your day 5 sounds great! That would be great to walk down Main Street without the crowds! How nice!

You know, I did not know that they did anything for boys at BBB - I just assumed it all and only for girls! I mean, I know it is realy mostly for girls, but at least they have something for the boys to do and get dressed up too! I had read they are pricy - but one of those things you just gotta do with a little girl!

We are staying at Pop Century in a standard room. We are going for our Honeymoon and taking DD with us as she goes everywhere with us.

Hi Karen!
Thanks...no crowds for Main Street during the Summer...
Yes..BBB for the girls are pricey....for the boys, it's only $7.50!!

We are staying at Pop Century in a standard room. We are going for our Honeymoon and taking DD with us as she goes everywhere with us.

Hi! We'll be at Pop too...also a standard room! Congrats for the Honeymoon! We'll have to say "Hi" while we are there!
Are you writing a PTR??

 

[martinolichfamily]

Read this on facebook this morning and called WDW....and saved some more $$$ !!
"Kids Stay and Play FREE" vacation package offer at Walt Disney World has been extended. It's now available for stays most nights May 2 - October 2! Click here for details: http://www.mousesavers.com/packages.html#stayplay

Just had to share.

 

[kaileighbug]

No I am not doing a PTR. This is only our 2nd trip as a family. The first trip was in December and there were 9 of us. My son is missing out on this trip because it falls into his dad's time and he won't let him. I check out the kids stay free but it told me pop was not available. I did however get a pin from disney in an email and saved 303.16 on this trip. Free quick service dining plan and just paid difference for the regular dining plan.

 

[Charlefours]

I am really excited to see Main Street empty too. I know the price for the Castle package is pricey! We debated between the Castle and crown but went with the crown package instead too. I am glad to read that you like 1900 PF. That is where we are eating for DD's birthday. : It is one of the places I am looking forward to most.

for saving more money!! We are hoping for FD tomorrow. G-U-L-P!!!

I talked w/DH last night about it and he acted like he wanted to maybe change to the Castle package once we are there. Ya'll should 1900 PF!! We did so much! The characters were so into their roles it was too funny...esp the step-sisters! My DH leaned over and asked if they were suppose to act like that or if she was just rude! I told him that they are into character....it was funny! I forget what was said though to make him ask that...darn memory!
FD came out...did you get it??

I think Daddies are suckers to their little girls! I am not sure what DD will walk away--we may let her pick something out (I have it in the budget) from BBB.

We did get FD--thanks for asking!!

 

[martinolichfamily]

On to the Plan for Day 7 (July 8th).....Do whatever day!

Our Breakfast ressie is for O'hana @ 9:20a. This is another first for us!
I am really looking forward to checking out The Poly!

Today is suppose to be a waterpark and/or Downtown Disney day again.
If the other waterpark day doesn't go too well for DD...we may go to a park or DTD again by ourselves and have a little girl time!

I have no plans for lunch...wherever we are at the time is where we'll stop for lunch.

For Dinner we have a ressie for Hoop Dee Doo Revue @ 7:15p!
This sounds like a fun time and good food! Looking forward to it!

Epcot is having EMH this night from 9:00p - Midnight....more than likely we join in for EMH after dinner. We are night owls if you can't tell yet.

For the shirts this day....DD & DS will wear O'hana shirts to breakfast and then HDDR shirts to dinner.

My ticker is under 2 months now!! So exciting!!

Next........... Day 8 plans!

You will love O'hana's for Breakfast. It is our favorite breakfast on property. We are going there July 4th.

I can't wait to hear how you like Hoop Dee Doo. I think that would be fun to do sometime.

Glad to hear O'hanas is favorite! DS & DD requested it b./c of Lilo & Stitch!
HDDR sounds fun after I have read about it in other TR!

 

[martinolichfamily]

So i checked my other email account today and there sat a Pin code for me...............................

BUT................ it was for ....................................

DISNEYLAND!

Wrong destination this time!!

Thanks anyways!

 

[martinolichfamily]

Here's our Disney Countdown Calendar....had some help from DD! As you can see she was a bit excited! I bought Disney stickers today too and will use them to cover up the #s!

My Mickey Heads were a bit larger than I thought so....we have a front and a back to our countdown calendar!

Front

And...the back...the 'nicer' #s are back here!!

 

[BabyEeyore]

I love your countdown calendar. It's so cute that your DD was so excited about it.

 

[MommyMcQueen]

Hi Heather!

Congrats on the Kids Stay/Play discount! Always nice ot save extra $$! That is hilarious about the PIN - I know I would have all super excited, then to see it is for the wrong destination!! At least you had the other discount anyway...

Great countdown calendar! I really need to think about making one. How did you make the Mickey heads? I know I've seen punches at the craft store or some people use a Cricut - I don't have either. And even though I'm a scrapbooker, I CANNOT for the life of me cut things out!

Wow you are under 2 months - that will be coming so fast! Your day 6 plans look nice - nice to have some free time and kind of play it by ear...see what you feel like that day. You are much more brave than me when it comes to keeping kids up late and doing EMH. I do have a couple late nights planned but we're able to sleep in the following day. My kids so used to their bedtime schedule it seems like they are huge grumps when I do let them stay up late - I've learned my lesson a couple of times! But once summer is here we can loosen up the schedule a bit...makes it hard when DS4 is completely exhausted and refuses to take a nap! Then he's falling asleep at 6pm on a chair... When he's tired he can make it misery for all!

Yes...I finally decided to make the countdown calendar....I make a Mickey head stencil first and then traced it on construction paper and cut...and cut some more and some more!!
If you look upclose my cutting job isnt that great!
We did late night EMH last year and the kids did great....DD fell asleep in her stroller if she was too tired. Here at home they are usually up later at night anyways....DS has a 8:30p bedtime during school but since bball has been going on it's been so much later which isnt great when he needs to be awake and in a decent mood at 7am! I keep saying only 4 more weeks of school....we can do it!!
Under 2 months!!! Seems like it took forever but I do know it's so worth the wait!!!
