How many times have you gone to WDW?

Tig, your signature photo is wicked nice! Just thought I'd throw that in there!

Aw, thanks!! That was taken on formal night on our most recent cruise (Oct. 2008)....we're wearing our 101 Dalmations bow-tie and cummerbund sets that I made for us.

Well....I wish I could say once as a child. My grandparents went back in 81 to visit Epcot and I remember my Granddad saying that he was going to visit the new Disney World park that is just for adults so they did not take me or my brother. They only went to Epcot that trip.....

My 1st ever trip was just over a month ago....and we are happy to say we are returning on Sept. 27 2009 for 8 days...

Do I recall correctly that you said you'd do another trip report?

I hope so!!

Hmmmm...several times as a kid. And I'm fixin' to depart (in a month! ) on the 4th trip with my own kiddo. And I learn somethin' new EVERY time.

I try to "convert" everyone around me.

I thought it looked like a formal sort of event. I love the bow ties!

We actually have Mickey bow ties and cummerbunds. Haven't worn them ever though. Don't quite have the nerve.

We actually hate dressing up....we hate ties and tuxes....we ONLY wear nice clothes by CHOICE (meaning not at a funeral or a wedding or something like that where it's pretty much required) when we are on a Disney cruise.....and then on DCL trips we dress up for dinner every night no matter what restaurant we're in-----and the fun part is that we only wear Disney-themed ties and formal wear----in fact our collection of Disney semi-formal and formal wear have become quite the event with our DIS friends and fellow cruisers.

At this point we have a collection of over 40 different disney neckties (and very few are Mickey Mouse.....I scour the internet and ebay for unique ties with different characters and disney film themes). So when we cruise we never wear the same tie twice. I also am handy with a sewing machine....so I actually MAKE neckties for us, too....I made us matching tinkerbell ties that were a big hit and on our most recent cruise Jason had a lovely little mermaid tie (which I have now made a companion for! ) and I wore a very fun Disney princesses tie, too. (Cinderella and Belle were quite impressed when I wore it to pose for pictures with them on the ship!! )

I also have either bought or made all of our disney tie/vest and tie/cummerbund sets. We have a purchased Mickey set but I've made us a bunch of others (some of which have yet to debut on the ships and will be seen on our may cruise and on our B2B in 2010)----including the dalmation set in our siggy pic, a finding nemo set, a disney princesses set (with matching princess face buttons), and a golden mickeys tie and vest set. (I admit it....I have too much time on my hands....but I always joke and say there are worse addictions!!! )

Some of my projects have interesting histories, too-----like our dalmation bowties and cummerbunds in that picture....I love to tell people where THAT fabric came from....I bought a used silk red 101 dalmations teddy/nightie on ebay and cut it up to make that set!! So whenever we wear those to a formal DCL dinner we giggle inside that we're actually wearing women's lingerie!

I think it's cool that so many of us feel like we sort of have the whole WDW travel & parks thing down pat. There are more newbie/still have a lot to learn folks here than I imagined though. I have to wonder, what can we do for you guys to help?
