It's a Jolly Holiday with LL. *FINISHED* Final Update on pg. 58.

Of course, a spike heel is a must. I was thinking instead of gloves, we could do something like strappy sandal straps (kwim?) going up her arms.

Oooo...I'm seeing combinations of black and hot pink!

Oooooh!! That is exciting. I can't work out the hair accessory. Every female superhero has to have some kind of hair ornamentation.

I think Shoeper girl needs a sparkly tiara, with a diamond encrusted pink shoe emblem in the middle.

Perfect!!

Okay, momentary hijack, LL please forgive me.

Has anyone ever seen Stan Lee's Who Wants to be a Superhero on Sci Fi?

Tink, I'm thinking Shoeper Girl needs to try out for next season.

No, but it would be too hilarious if we got Shoeper Girl on there.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Maybe that should be our new get rich quick scheme. That way we can all do what our hearts' desire.
Can you imagine the merchandising line we can get going for Shoeper Girl?

Oh, the fantastic line of shoes we could design! And matching accessories.

We could develop a television series were Shoeper Girl swoops in and solves shoe dilemmas! Can you imagine if we had Shoeper Girl go shoe shopping with us about 2 months ago?

Oh, my sandals for Disney would have been bought, purchased, and broken in just the right amount but not too much.

Yes, we can't have them looking worn and dingy for WDW!

 

[TarzansKat]

That's my only concern with having ordered those white/green sandals. You can't tell when black shoes get dirty!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I had a brainstorm today. Lightening stuck you could say. I realized that I would be in Disney in exactly FOUR WEEKS!

Since I am itinerary obsessed and I've changed it so many times that I need a refresher course, I've decided to post each day of my trip in correlation to the four week mark for each day, in list form of course!

Saturday August 30th

Depart @ 9:35AM.
For now. I keep checking our flights and so far so good. No changes. Fingers are crossed that it stays that way. MIL is taking us to the airport and is also stopping in to check on the kitties for us. I figure this is a test for if she can handle future grandchildren. Any mistakes and I have got ammunition for life.

Arrive in Orlando @ 12:34PM
We will be taking Magical Express to Pop Century. I am a little nervous about the whole baggage transfer thing. I don't want it to get lost! Yikes! That would be bad. I have to investigate what kinds of carry on toiletries that you can bring on the plane.

Check In at Pop
If it's too early for our room, we plan to arrange for our bags to held. If our room is ready, we'll make a quick pit stop to refresh a bit and check out our new home for the next four nights.

Lunch - 1 CS Each
I have lunch penciled in at Everything Pop or another CS establishment probably at EPCOT.

Head to EPCOT/DIS Meet
We are going to head to EPCOT, where we will be meeting up with Crissy for a mini DIS meet. I am very excited to meet one of my LapuLapuettes in person! I think the plan is for Crissy to meet us at EPCOT, maybe take in a ride or two together or maybe even a drink!
* I am not going to list all of the attractions we will be partaking in at the parks, I think I have been there done that in this PTR.

Dinner - 1 CS Each
I am not sure where the wind will take us for this CS dinner. TK has suggested something from Mexico so that we can grab a table for Illuminations. DH has interest in the Tangerine Cafe and I have interest in the Fish & Chips from England. The world is literally at our fingertips.

Illuminations @ 9PM
The plan is to grab some food right before Illuminations but as I type this out I am not so sure I like that idea. I want to make sure I have my hands free for photographing and for cuddling with my DH. I think fireworks are extremely magical and romantic. Believe it or not, DH and I have NEVER seen fireworks together. This will be our first fireworks. Awww. I just got a bit misty eyed! Okay! Time for a new plan. Grab something to eat with enough time to find a spot and finish our food before Illuminations starts. After Illuminations we will head back to Pop for a good night's rest since we have to be up early the next day....

I am happy I decided to type these all out. It makes Disney feel even more real. I am super excited! Plus with the trip being closer, I feel like I have a better grasp on how we want to spend our time if that makes sense.

I also have a shoe update for you. I have ordered another pair.
In all honesty, I had been looking for them when I went shoe shopping on Thursday but they did not have my size. I have finalized the shoe wardrobe for Disney. Aren't you proud?

These are the new lovelies that are being shipped to me from Shoebuy. Aren't they adorable? These shoes work in the "Great Foot Pain Avoidance of 2008" as follows. They are compact enough that I can carry them in my Vera Bradley Messenger bag and not feel like a pack mule. They can be switched and traded as feet need comfort. I also think on days where we are going back to the park after a rest/relax session back at the resort, I can wear these lovelies. Or around the pool. I think they will be my in between shoe. If I do wear these to a park, I will be bringing back ups for sure. I think the key for me to avoid foot pain is having options to trade off and on throughout the day.

Sadly, I was not able to wear these beauties out today since those stupid black shoes have eaten up my heel. Stupid shoes. I plan to start breaking these beauties ASAP. I think these will be my morning shoe. Start the day off on the right foot, eh?

A blast from the past! I do adore my Mary Jane Crocs. I have purple ones as well. I think these puppies are going to my primary afternoon shoe. I do prefer to wear these with thin socks when walking a great distance. It actually helps my foot not be sweaty or squeaky. The Adidas flip floppers will be mixed in as an afternoon/evening shoe as well.

Hopefully this ends the Great Shoe Drama of 2008. I am so done with shoes. Done. D. O. N. E. Done Ditty Done Da Dum Da Done. Did you like my Done song?

It's going to be a good week, an update everyday!!

 

[TarzansKat]

Great update, sounds like an awesome first day! I love Illuminations, and that's an excellent "first fireworks" together.

One word about the Adidas flips, just so you know. They're not so great wet, and take a bit to dry out. Not to freak you out, if you get caught in rain, you get caught in rain, savvy? But for by the pool, your quick-drying Crocs might be a better option. Just a heads up!

YAY!!!! I love the flip flops. They are awesome!

And FOUR WEEK DANCE!!!!!!

I love your idea of posting one day of your itinerary based on what you'll be doing in four weeks!

I really think you and DH will enjoy Illuminations--it's a good idea to have your food eaten beforehand, particularly since it'll be your first fireworks together! You'll be able to focus on the show and each other instead of food.

I am super excited!!

I am hoping posting my itinerary this week will make the week fly by!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

So what will you be doing 4 weeks from today?? Hmmm?? I like this game! I just counted up the # of weeks I have to go (12) and it just doesnt' have the same ring to it so I'm going to live vicariously through you!

Your first fireworks together -- too cute! Agree with your approach on having finished w/ the food so that attention may be focused elsewhere (remember it is a family park ). Don't reveal any secrets but are you targeting any spots in particular from which to watch Illuminations? I've seen it several times but I've yet to find "the spot" that I'd return to time and time again.

Woo-hoo on the flip flops. I LOVE flips. But for some reason I can't wear them in the parks. Bad foot pain incident at Disneyland last year.

 

[Native NYer]

I love the Adidas flip flops. Great color too.

Your itinerary looks great. The trip will be here before you know it.

You are more than welcome to live through me, because when your trip hits and I am in Disney Depression I will be living through you.

I have actually never seen Illuminations or any of the other nighttime shoes at WDW. I know, bad LL. That's okay, the plan is try to hit up all the evening entertainment while we are there. I did get some recommended viewing spots from TourGuide Mike so we'll see how those work out.

Woo-hoo on the flip flops. I LOVE flips. But for some reason I can't wear them in the parks. Bad foot pain incident at Disneyland last year.

I know I won't make it through the parks with just my flip flops. No way. I would never be able to walk again by the end of the week. I have sprained both of my ankles numerous times and my foot too so I need something that will be supportive. I just love sandals so much that I can't give them up completely.

I love the Adidas flip flops. Great color too.

Your itinerary looks great. The trip will be here before you know it.

Thank you very much! Hopefully I will get to my 4 weeks from Today later this afternoon or evening.
