Soleil - You are down to FOUR DAYS!! Are you packed?

What's your opinion on what shoes to wear with capris? I'm thinking sneakers might look dorky, but I don't wear flip flops, and if it's cool, ...

 

[BellaSoleil]

There are actually some sneakers out there that looks really cute with capris. If you go with a smaller, less clunky shoe if might work. I think flip flops and capris always work.

I'm not completely packed. I'm getting there!

I think Crocs would be great! I imagine there tons of people walking around Disney right now wearing Crocs and Capris.

Do you have a pair of the Mary Jane crocs? I think they are really cute.

I just have the basic crocs, but of course, I'm not opposed to shopping!! I'd like to get the MJs for my girls too. They have basic Disney crocs, but are fairly worn, and they have flip flop crocs. I'm sure we'll be packing them! There's a crocs outlet about an hour from here, and I'm trying to squeeze in a trip there before we go.

Wendy - I'm so glad you're already starting to see the benefits from your surgery. The affects in just this short time on your blood pressure are just amazing!!

Okay, I have a QOTD!!!

Did you get anything for Christmas that was Disney related?

My sister gave me a Mickey hooded sweatshirt - perfect for the parks on those cooler evenings/mornings and "lightweight" enough to fit in my backpack!!

Nope, not a thing. Of course I GAVE my DDs disney stuff - t-shirts, long and short sleeved, gift cards for spending money. Grandma and Papa also gave them two Disney DVDs.

I got a TON of Disney scrapbooking stuff. Which is great because it can cost a lot of $$ Also my Mom & Dad got us tickets to Universal but I'm trying to talk her out of it before she actually buys them

Hello all.

SHOPPING ALERT! For anyone who might still need and/or want Disney character sweatshirts - Disney Shopping has character sweatshirts on clearance. Adult sizes 9.99, kids 7.99. If you use the promo code Holiday20, you can get an additional 20% off. I couldn't resist, I got DH a new Goofy, DS a Pluto, and DD a Donald and an Eeyore. $35 with shipping. Can't beat it!

As far as the rest of the planning goes, I'm in full panic mode. We started packing clothes yesterday, and kids got a lot of clothes to take with them for christmas, so that part is pretty well organized. It's all the OTHER stuff that I can't get together - toiletries, food for the car, stuff for the room. I only have 2 1/2 weeks!!!

Wendy, so glad to see you back and feeling good. You should be able to get some great deals now for current season clothes, so go and Shop! Nothing feels better than losing weight and needing new clothes. I have work pants that are so baggy now that my husband calls them clown pants and says I should NEVER wear them again. Feels great!

Disney Visa Question: How long does it take to get the rewards card once you order it? I'm waiting for my next statement but I hope I get it within the next 3 weeks!

I just called yesterday and was told 10-14 days. He also said that you can get one at the parks, you just need to take your Disney Visa and show them.

Need some help/advice! I am totally sold on the idea of the photopass, I think it sounds like an amazing thing! My Dh however is seemingly totally against the idea! I haven't used it before and can only read what is on some of the info sites. If you have used it before, what is your opinion of it and what are the benefits? I think it would be totally worth it just to have pics of our whole family together! I am so very seldom in pics cause I am the one doing most of the taking! Thanks for your input!

I LOVE the photopass! But I would never pay full price for it. That's why I always get in on a photopass share. It's definitely worth the $22 I paid!

YAY ~ Welcome back Wendy!! We missed you!

I tried to get a CBR meet going, but it doesn't look as if it is going to work out. . . Just can't seem to get everyone together at once. . . PM me if you want to try to meet up!
