Hi ya! It's getting close! Where are the change in hours posted?

Thankfully we won't have to move ADRs.

Bummer The park hour change worked out well for me because they extended the hours during Columbus Day weekend. So on our last night MK is open until 3 AM with two MSEP scheduled. We have an ADR in Epcot so now we don't have to rush over to MK to catch the parade.

The park hours change really just affects my one ADR (that I have noticed so far!) I'm generally happy with the changes! And the Later nighttime parade helps my schedule as well!

I noticed last night that the day we have an 8:35 ADR at MK, the park is now opening at 8. Oh well. I knew I should've kept the later time! I let the DISers talk me into an early breakfast before park opening. Maybe I can switch it.

I also noticed the park hours weren't posted on Disney's site. Just the TA site.

I have seriously been a shopping fool the last 2 weeks!!

It started off with my FAVORITE shoulder bag/purse/ etc company going back to having Facebook Friday sales! The first one was 1.5 weeks ago. They offered 3 bags at 70% off! I ordered all 3!!

I got this one!

This one!

And this one! (I'm not so sure about this one! I love the colors but it is a big bag and I carry too much stuff already!!

The following friday they have 3 more bags on sale but only 60% off. I really needed a carry-on luggage though so I went for this one!

It should be here today!!

I also placed an online order through the DisneyStore.com last week and got a bunch of T-shirts! Some for hubby as well! (I hope he will wear them!!)

For me I got:

And one more not showing up on the website!!

For Hubby I got!

And the last one I got hubby isn't showing up either!

Then yesterday I went online shopping for the suit my hubby needs for V&A's!

I bought him this suit jacket from eBay.

To go with a pair of pants from Amazon! (Only $25 with shipping on Amazon and $55 on the Casual Male website!)

(I know the picture is NOT showing! It's HUGE! If you care to see them click the link instead!)

And then I got a couple cheap dress shirts for him to wear underneath it. He can choose the color he wants! I think I got a white and a blue!

I WILL NOT be buying him black shoes to go with it! He has a pair of shoes that he usually wears out. I think they are either blue or brown but oh well! Unless I can find some black ones for cheap that is not going to happen!

Yeah, I've noticed the WDW site still isn't updated as well. So I am still questioning the Evening EMH on Monday the 22nd!

CP is the ADR I had affected as well. Thankfully I had 3 early morning ADR's made as I wasn't sure of the plans when I booked them and then never cancelled the extras so I still have a before park open ADR for the following Sunday! It's not the day I wanted but it will work!

I love the whimsical bag with the tree and the lovely leaf green carryon bag. I also love the shirts you picked out.

I love the colors of the bag with the the tree but I'm not so sure on the size of the bag. It is awfully need and I already lose stuff in my purse!!

The Carryon arrived yesterday! It's pretty nice!! I think I will be able to fit a lot in it!!

 

[smile4stamps]

So what I posted yesterday was just SOME of the shopping I had done!!

Here is some more...

This water bottle hasa built in filter! I figure I can use a carabiner and attach it to my park bag!

I also bought the brush kit to be able to clean it good. I have a current Camelback and its really hard to clean the bite valve so I am hoping the brush comes in handy.

I also bought this to hopefully keep it cool a bit longer!

I also bought my hubby some shorts and swim trunks on clearance from Eddie Bauer. I've never purchased from there so I hope they fit! He doesn't know I ordered them so he will be packing his old ones which are too big so we will see which he ends up wearing.

And then yesterday someone from our Awesome October 2012 Facebook group let me know that a Nemo shirt I had posted about that I really wanted but wasn't available in my size had become available. So of course I had to order it, and enough other stuff to get to $75 for free shipping! LOL!

Here are more shirts I ordered!
This is the NEMO one I REALLY wanted!! It's black though so I hope I don't die when I wear it!!

And then 3 more!

And a Lion King one not on the website anymore!! I guess I got lucky on when I placed my orders!!

I also bought this lotion on clearance. I figure a little Disney sparkle is good!

Wow you are just a shopping fiend! LOL I love the polka dot shirt.

 

[PixieMama]

LOVE all your purchases... I'm going to have to check those bags out. Super cute, and I'm a sucker for purses/totes/etc.

Wow you are just a shopping fiend! LOL I love the polka dot shirt.

The only shirt I am not IN LOVE with is the Toy Story one... but I really wanted a Toy Story one and that was the only option lol! Thats not even all my shopping! Good thing that credit card won't be due till AFTER vacation! And I have enough in Disney Gift Cards to cover almost everything while we are there!

LOVE all your purchases... I'm going to have to check those bags out. Super cute, and I'm a sucker for purses/totes/etc.

Yes! Check out their bags! they are so awesome! If you fan them on Facebook they do the sales every Friday but you can only get notification of them by seeing their feed! (I posted last weeks sale to the group but not sure anyone noticed it!)

I love the bags and shirts!!! Shopping is so much fun!!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

I saw that Mr. DDW was wearing that shirt in your pictures! I think I had ordered it the day before you posted lol!

The day after I ordered I saw this one on the website! I'd so get hubby this one but not sure I will be placing any more orders before the trip lol!

Lots of shopping is definitely done. Still a few more things to get done lol!

It's pretty funny that I have a suitcase full of clothes here for someone who doesn't even live here!! Talk about shopping and packing overkill!! LOL!

I'm so ready for the trip to be here but then I think I don't have everything as organized as I would like! Ehh. I'll take the being not totally prepared in exchange for the trip getting here sooner!

Oh that is so cute!!


I kind of got a little sad about my trip today I started getting some of the clothes I ordered to take on the trip. Sigh.

Great purchases! I love Camelbak stuff! We are hoping to get some of the backpacks for everyone on our trip so that we don't have to carry water bottles.

Your shirts are super cute! Love the DD one as wel!

 

[smile4stamps]

I think I am ALMOST done with booking everything!

I FINALLY called today to book the Magic Behind the Steam Trains tour! This will be my first tour! I chose this one because my DH LOVES trains!!

I also called to book the Jiko Wine Pairing event on Wednesdays from 3:00-4:00pm. The reviews I've read have all been positive! I am hoping after the pairing we will explore the resort and see some animals and then see if hubby is willing to give Jiko another try for our dinner! No ADR being made so just hoping they can fit us in otherwise we will need to find someplace else!

Well now you can either wear the items now to cheer you up or less to buy later so less to save for!!

Great purchases! I love Camelbak stuff! We are hoping to get some of the backpacks for everyone on our trip so that we don't have to carry water bottles.

Your shirts are super cute! Love the DD one as wel!

I have a Camelbak bottle I use daily. I am trying to avoid a backpack/larger bag so am hoping this works well. I also only bought one for hubby and I to share so we will see how that goes!

I think I will have to add the DD one to my next order! Um... Yeah, that means a third order in the space of 1.5 weeks lol!

Cute shirts you bought! I've never heard of that bag company you mentioned but they have cute stuff!
