"I Want To Go Back!!!"....a Sept 2010 PTR(upd 10/12-TR Started!)

[Dancegrl624]

Wow, That list still looks so long! Good luck running your errands and getting stuff done before your trip. I'm sure it's a bit easier now that DD is back to school to run around town.

I'll have to borrow your books for my trip next month! Although, I'm not good at reading on planes. I usually fall right to sleep

Madison looks very cute for school today!

It feels even longer than it looks! I just got back from running some errands, but I only managed to pick up treat bags!

I can't wait to get my new books. I'm hoping they arrive in time for my trip!

Aw, thanks.

I did not know that about the AK benches. Interesting!

I don't know if you know but they do supply trick or treat bags at MNSSHP. Last year the characters from Up were on it.

You can get the LGMH at Home Depot right? I heard that they're free since they're paint chips. Where do you find them? Thanks in advance. I want to get one for myself

Wow you still have a few things to get done! You reminded me that I need to figure out what to do about Photopass.

I love Maddie's outfit today. I think I remember you posting that sweater.

12 days!! Aren't you excited?

Isn't that a neat fact about the benches?

I do know that they supply treat bags, but I've seen pictures and they're so small!

The LGMH can be found at Home Depot. Go to the paint department and there is a section of Disney paint samples. The color for the DIS is Alien Green.

Love madisons outfit!! That little jacket is tooooo cute!! Tell me about Costco..I always ship water down there.....

Thanks! I love her long sweater and so does she.

A 24-pack of water from Costco is $6.99. We did this last year and it takes about 2-3 business days for the water to arrive. I don't remember how much the shipping was, but it's not bad.

Aww, I love Madison's sweater! I wouldn't mind having it, lol.
Wow, lots of things to do. I feel like no matter how well-prepared someone is for a trip, there's always a ton of last minute things to do/buy!
I hope Maddie does decide to go on Space Mountain! It's too fun!

I want a sweater like that too. So cozy!

There is a TON to do! I've been done planning for a long time, but there are always so many last minute things to do.

I'm hoping she rides it too. If we put her in the middle seat (me in front and DH behind her) she should be fine.

Yeah, I'm updating again. I just wanted to share some photos with all of you. I made special tip envelopes to go with each of the restaurants we're eating at the other day and I love them! I got them on the creative DISigns thread, but that DISigners isn't personalizing things anymore. You can still reach her 4shared page, so that's what I did! Of course, there isn't one for Via Napoli, but I requested one over on the regular creative thread (no response yet). Anyways...this DISigner also had designs for pressed penny holders and I couldn't resist.

I picked Belle, Cinderella and Mickey. After I taped them on the M&M tubes, I put clear packing tape over them. That way, they won't get ruined in my bag!

I stopped at Party City today and I picked up some really cute trick or treat bags! They were only 99 cents each!

Madison has a cavas bag that I bought at Old Navy a few years ago, but I wanted to buy 3 bags in case she changes her mind.

I also had to make a stop at ON today. I realized that Madison only has 2 pairs of jeans that fit her (we donated her old ones)!!! I stopped in there for jeans and walked out with more. I also bought her a Halloween t-shirt and I bought a few things for me.

This is THE softest sweater I have ever worn!!! It's also available in ivory, black, gray and teal. Plus, it's on sale for $20 right now!

I've always wanted a cute plaid shirt and this was on sale for $19.50. I also received a coupon in the mail the other day for 40% off one item (can't be used with my discount).

I bought a pair of red flip flops that were on clearance as well. Just an FYI, ON is having an active wear sale right now. Buy one active item, get one free! This applies to yoga pants, sports bras, etc and also the Men's Rec Tech stuff like gym shorts.

Here is a picture that will make most of you laugh.

Yup, that is 20 pairs of flip flops!!! I've worn all of them at least once except for the bright blue ones and obviously the red ones I bought today. It's a bit of an obsession.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Wow that's a lot of flip flops!!

I might have a little collection like that myself! Not as large as yours though!

I love my ON flip flops. But not for WDW! I love them and wear them at home all the time and figured they would be fine at WDW last year. Yikes! I had blisters by the end of day 1 and had to wear my tennis shoes, which I hate to wear.

Pretty sweater and trick-or-treat bags!

 

[swwake]

Girl, you are as bad as I am with the flip flops! I have many, many pair - mostly Reefs. We live in them year-round here in Austin. I love how my Reefs mold to my feet and they are great to wear at Disney World. They make walking comfortable, and it doesn't matter if they get wet. So, needless to say, I didn't laugh at your 20 pair!

I was already planning to go to Old Navy after work today. I realized I only have 5 pair of shorts and I don't plan to do laundry next week while we're at WDW, so I need another 3 pair. I get all my shorts at ON because I love how they fit and the price is right. I hope they still have some, considering the season.

But now, when I go, I'll have to check out the sweaters and activewear. I need a couple of pair of shorts and capris to just wear around the house.

Thanks for the info on Photopass! I'm leaning toward the pre-purchase. I need to talk to Chris and see how cooperative he's gonna be with the photos.

Look how close your icon is getting to the end of your ticker!!

I do own a lot of flip flops. I absolutely LIVE in them from about April-October. That is all that I wear at WDW. I wore my sneakers one day to AK in Jan 09 and my feet were killing me!

Thanks! That sweater is so cozy I wish that blankets were made from that material. The trick or treat bags were so cheap!

I love ON flip flops. A bunch of colors are on clearance so I couldn't resist the red ones.

There should still be some shorts hanging around. I'd check the clearance section. At my store, there was an additional 30% off women's clearance, but I don't know if that ended today or not. My store was pretty wiped out!

I love ON yoga pants. They are just perfect for dance and just lounging.

I put a link about the photopass on your FB!

My Pop icon is about to fall off!

Here is a picture that will make most of you laugh.

I'll never complain about my wife's shoe collection again.

Flip flops are my obsession and they're incredibly cheap (2 for $5). I really don't own a lot of shoes, just flip flops!

 

[Monny2AE]

Get cracking at that TO DO list!!!! You're so close!

Love Madison's outfit. Where ever did she get her sense of fashion?

 

[swwake]

Just for kicks, here's a link to my flip flops post from 2008. Funny - I still have all but one pair of those - even the old ones.

So you are not the only one who is obsessed!

 

[jenny105]

I don't think the trick or treat bags they supply are small at all! The one's they gave us were pretty decent sized and we went to every station and filled it only about halfway! Maybe they gave different ones after?

I have a similar flip flop collection. I'll have to snap a pic and show you!

I'm hoping to get most of that list crossed off next week, but we'll see! It might come down to the wire!

Thanks! I won't buy her things that I don't like. Let's just leave it at that.

I saw a picture of the treat bags from last year and they were quite small. I'm sure we'll still pick them up just to have.

I adore flip flops and wish I could wear them year round. However, I love my Uggs too!

You've reminded me that I need to get stamps.

Love all your shopping finds. Madison looked cute in her outfit!

You can NEVER have too many flip flops! I feel like I have a 100!

 

[ptcrn]

LOL at all your flip flops! I went to Old Navy today too and all I came out with were 5 pair of socks for DS and a cute Halloween treat bag. Its not super big, but it'll work for a 3 year old for MNSSHP!

I may be stealing parts of your list- I have to do most of that stuff too! Postcard stamps is one thing I totally forgot about!

Glad I could help you remember to get stamps!

Thank you. I just love sweaters! It warmed up a bit today, so by the time she got out of school, she was pretty warm!

Absolutely. You need lots of flip flops to match all the outfits!

Can you tell I love flip flops? You were more disciplined than meet at ON today, that's for sure!

Go right ahead. I always like being able to help out other DISers!

nice update!! Not a whole lot to do but it will keep you busy I'm sure!!! I faxed in a room request when we went in March. Rumor has it on here that the room assigner doesn't read the faxes but we got at POP what we wanted: building 6 upper floor. We were building 6 on the top floor. I also had the room request added to my ressie so I guess I'll never know if the fax was read or not??!! If you didn't add the request to your ressie you might want to call just to have a back-up plan!

 

[princess&her4princes]

Okay, every time I read your PTR, I get more stressed!! I SO need to make the list....not sure why i'm not! Tonight, tonight is the night...it's getting done, once and for all! You are so much more organized than me!!!!

WOW....loving the flip flops! I stocked up when they had their $1 sale last Summer, so I have a lot of colors, too, but not that many! Love them!! I can't believe you can walk all day long in them in Disney though, they would kill my back! But lucky girl! You're so trendy with all the colors!!

I missed the dance party the other day, so hope you don't mind if I dance tonight instead!!

I have faxed in my requests before to Pop and all of them were met. Over on the Pop thread, we're always talking about faxing in our requests. No one has really mentioned anything about not getting their requests.

Sorry to stress you out! You have 3 kids schedules to deal with and I only have 1...makes it a little easier to make lists and all that. I've had that list in place for months it seems and I've crossed off a lot! It used to be WAY longer!

Thanks! I'm so used to walking around WDW in flip flops. They are so comfy to me.

I will gladly take a dance party anytime!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

good to know!! I'll make sure I'll call in the request and fax a request as well!! I think they said they start assinging the rooms 10 days before you check in??

 

[LilAnn]

Your posts always make me want to go shopping! I may have an obsession with flip flops too, although most of mine are from JCrew or else random stores. Funny since I really can only wear them for a few months out of the year up here. You are getting so close! Cute trick or treat bags by the way.

 

[Dancegrl624]

I believe it's 3 days before you check in. On the Pop thread (and All Ears), they say to fax in your request 4 days before check-in. I did that last year and everything was great! We also did online check-in.
