I’ve been waiting 4 1/2 years to go to Disney..a May 2-9 2010 PTR...TR started!

Happy to hear you guys received your Mickey Mail...I don't how that one feels since I do room only. But, I love getting the travel plans they send me by email! :mickeyjum

Great idea on the countdown calendar:thumbsup2; we just started to uncover the MK map so Ashton is getting excited although I don't think he is relating the two.

:rotfl2:I love your mom's reaction! to the plans:rotfl:
that is exactly how my family describe me on any trip we go on!
several years ago when we went to Dollywood I had my hands full with a nursing baby and did not lead them...well, by lunch they were lost and making fun of me from the past and than my sister finally said over lunch
"here is the map, can you please give us a game plan":rotfl2::rotfl2:

:mickeyjum :donald: here's to starting your countdown calendar today!

I think my family will understand how nice it is to have a game plan once we start touring! Maybe then they will think I am less crazy! But probably not...:rotfl:
 
Here is our countdown calendar:

And finally...the patchwork twirl skirt I made!!! She will wear it with the white tee shirt that has a black Mickey head, red letters with her name, and the red bow (that I posted earlier):

It is hard to see in the pics, but my favorite fabric is this red one that has a little bit darker red Mickey silhouettes:

34 days and counting!!!! :dance3:
 
Your countdown calendar is very cute, but I LOVE that skirt! Bella is going to look adorable in it :thumbsup2
 
:woohoo: Let the countdown begin! And I love the skirt. Can't wait to see the pictures of your DD in it:goodvibes
 

Just had to do a small happy dance. The crowd calendar on Touring Plans had said some fives, sixes, and a seven or two. I haven't checked it in a while and I know its not 100% reliable, but now it has ALL 4's and 5's!!! :cool1:

I'm so glad I read this...I went over to Touring Plans and checked our dates. Our crowd levels have all gone down too! Only one seven and the rest are fours and fives!!! :yay:
 
Yay for the "stolen" Home Depot Mickey Head countdown calendar! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

That skirt is awesome!! Love it!!! :thumbsup2
 
Oh my! I absolutely LOVE that skirt, and it will be PERFECT with the shirt! I'd love to make one, but I'm so bad at sewing. I actually sewed the snap on Jilly's shirt upside down and had to cut it off and then sew it back on...:rotfl:

That twirl skirt is adorable Kayce!! LOVE the countdown calendar too!! It looks like Bella is enjoying it already!! My kiddos go crazy about ours!! I think the first day of your trip before you head to the parks, take out a whistle and clipboard...:rotfl2:
 
Thanks for joining in! I just happened to find them. I am at Target WAAAY too often, so I find a lot of good deals there! :rotfl:

Off to check out your TR!

me too with traget- i used to have this site where i would go to see what deals everyone was finding- but then i was going way more frequently, more than cancelling out the savings on the bargains i was finding. now i only go online to print my target coupons and dont read the threads LOL.

I think my family will understand how nice it is to have a game plan once we start touring! Maybe then they will think I am less crazy! But probably not...:rotfl:

well, i don't know about less crazy......:lmao:
but i bet they will definetely appreciate the work you've done towards making this a great trip.

by the way, that skirt is awesome! was it hard? i broke my sewing machine threading the needle- but my mom is pretty good.
 
Your countdown chart is ace, really exiciting that you have started to take the days off :goodvibes Skirt looks excellant and will be fab with the shirt, well done :thumbsup2 whistle and clipboard is sooooooo funny :rotfl2:
 
great countdown calendar, Kayce! and awesome skirt!!! sometimes I wish I had another little girl...
BTW: I love Beth's idea of the whistle and clipboard :rotfl2: but you would have to have a camera too to get their puzzled faces :rotfl:
Have a great day!
its almost time for the pixiedust:
 
Awesome job on the twirl skirt! Can't wait to see your DD in it!

And I love your countdown calendar as well! Almost under a month now! :goodvibes

So glad you posted about the 4's and 5's during our trip!:banana: I have been nervous that all of these GAD FP's are actually going to mess things up for touring, but if crowds are a 4's and 5's it shouldn't be so bad afterall!:)
 
Your countdown calendar is very cute, but I LOVE that skirt! Bella is going to look adorable in it :thumbsup2

Thanks! You might even actually get to see her in it! Wouldn't that be cool!!! :thumbsup2

:woohoo: Let the countdown begin! And I love the skirt. Can't wait to see the pictures of your DD in it:goodvibes

Thanks! She wears it all around the house and jumps and twirls. I fear I may be raising a Diva! :laughing:

I'm so glad I read this...I went over to Touring Plans and checked our dates. Our crowd levels have all gone down too! Only one seven and the rest are fours and fives!!! :yay:

:woohoo:For low crowds!:woohoo: I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
 
Yay for the "stolen" Home Depot Mickey Head countdown calendar! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

That skirt is awesome!! Love it!!! :thumbsup2

Gotta love Mickey paint samples! I have saved some lime green ones...now just need to decide how/where to put them in the parks!

Oh my! I absolutely LOVE that skirt, and it will be PERFECT with the shirt! I'd love to make one, but I'm so bad at sewing. I actually sewed the snap on Jilly's shirt upside down and had to cut it off and then sew it back on...:rotfl:

Thank you! That is funny about the snap. I have taught myself since about November. I have spent a lot of hours watching You Tube videos!

That twirl skirt is adorable Kayce!! LOVE the countdown calendar too!! It looks like Bella is enjoying it already!! My kiddos go crazy about ours!! I think the first day of your trip before you head to the parks, take out a whistle and clipboard...:rotfl2:

Hahahaha!!! Great idea-I may have to do this! They would think it was hilarious! :lmao:

me too with traget- i used to have this site where i would go to see what deals everyone was finding- but then i was going way more frequently, more than cancelling out the savings on the bargains i was finding. now i only go online to print my target coupons and dont read the threads LOL.

I used to be huge into couponing too, and on a bunch of forums for it. I don't have as much time so I've slowed down, but I need to start again. I saved sooo much money.

It wasn't so much hard as time consuming. The bottom layer (the smaller ruffle) was especially so because it was over 25 feet long when pieced and then I had to gather it and it was a double layer when folded over. I got the pattern/directions from youcanmakethis.com. I am in love :lovestruc with CarlaC's patterns...but my wallet isn't! :rotfl:

Your countdown chart is ace, really exiciting that you have started to take the days off :goodvibes Skirt looks excellant and will be fab with the shirt, well done :thumbsup2 whistle and clipboard is sooooooo funny :rotfl2:

Yes, it seems like the days are flying by, and I hope they continue to do so! Thanks for the compliment on the skirt! :goodvibes

great countdown calendar, Kayce! and awesome skirt!!! sometimes I wish I had another little girl...

Have a great day!
its almost time for the pixiedust:

I don't think anything like that would shock them at this point! :lmao: It would be pretty funny, though. I may just have to work on it...

Girls are too much fun!!! I think I'm spending way more than I'm saving by sewing clothes, though!

Awesome job on the twirl skirt! Can't wait to see your DD in it!

And I love your countdown calendar as well! Almost under a month now! :goodvibes

So glad you posted about the 4's and 5's during our trip!:banana: I have been nervous that all of these GAD FP's are actually going to mess things up for touring, but if crowds are a 4's and 5's it shouldn't be so bad afterall!:)

Thanks! I can't believe we will be leaving so soon! Pixie dust for low crowds...:wizard: I don't think there will be enough people in one park at one time with GAD FPs to mess up touring plans. I hope not anyway! But you're right, if crowds are low enough, it won't matter either way!
 
Hi! I am just joining in and I love your plans so far!!

Our trips will be overlapping...we are going May 1 - May 8 and staying at WL. We are also eating at many of the same places, but on different days. I guess great minds think alike. :rotfl:

I love the countdown calendar and your princess is just adorable!!

Cannot wait to hear more!!
 
WOW! Only one more month to go!! I am sure you are so excited :yay:

All caught up with your PTR. LOVE the skirt you made! You are so good at sewing! Your countdown calendar is sooo fun! :goodvibes
