I'm finally getting around to my trip report of Sept. 23-30. I came home, worked one day and got sick. I missed another week of work. So I am finally getting around to working on my pictures.
We had a really magical trip. Never saw the Dream Team. I was hoping to win a set of ears a pin lanyard. But we had our own magic.
When we arrived in Orlando, the pilot invited the kids on the plane to sit with him in the cockpit and to take pictures. Kirsta is wearing her Hannah Montana outfit I bought for her and her "hair". This was an unplanned outfit, so unfortunately, she didn't get to wear all the things I made for her.
Ignore the goofy face in the first picture. We always have dinner with Cinderella and Prince Charming our first night. But this year, we ate in the castle. As we walked down Main Street, you could hear everyone rave about her dress. Kirsta's head would go a little higher each time she heard it. We had people walk across the street to come tell her how beautiful her dress was. She later told me she was "royalty" becuase everyone was calling her Princess. lol! I thought the dress came out nice, but I didn't expect the amount of comments we heard.
This is at MGM. All she wanted was to show Pluto her skirt. But every time we go to the character greeting, the lines were stopped. I didn't think they had that many characters out as they had in the past. Even in all the parks. I was disappointed as getting autographs is a big deal to Kirsta.
I never got around to showing everyone this skirt. I'm not that fond of it. I planned on a sash at the hip, but could never find a ribbon to match. I think it's the denim I don't like. I made shorts to go underneath so it's a skort.
Here we are at the BBB.
The first is the only picture I have of our dear sweet "Betty" in her Nanny costume I made for her Disney trip. Kirsta wanted to see Mary Poppins to show her Betty. On our way out of the BBB, we saw MP heading to the carasel. Kirsta grabbed Betty and ran after her. MP invited Kirsta to get on the ride with her, they rode it twice and chatted the whole time together. MP signed her autograph book when they got off and then took all the kids waiting for her over to her "spot" by the castle. It was truly magical.
This was very last minute. Mom-mom had to help me get it finished. I wasn't going to make it, but Kirsta wanted to know where it was. I planned on doing a twirl skirt, but couldn't find a matching sheer. I ended up liking the shorts much better. But we discovered that when it rains, the knit stretches. So I'll have to rethink the next one. She has a matching headband and scrunchy, but of course, how could you wear it with the special hairdo.
Here is our Minnie outfit. We went to the Backyard BBQ. Several people stopped us on the way there to say it was the best Minnie outfit they had seen. I really think it got her picked to help in the lasso show. She was picked to help with the demostration. Cyclone Sally kept saying she thought it was Minnie Mouse and didn't know why she wasn't on her break. And the other guy (I forgot his name) said he did to, until he saw her shoes. I had planned on getting yellow
Crocs, but ran out of time looking for them.
Great twirl skirt!! We are at the Halloween party. I had several CMs walk across the street to tell me this was the most orgional costume they had seen in years. I has several guests stop to ask where I got becuase thier daughter wanted one. This was a big hit!! BTW, I was the fairy Godmother.
I made her a princess skort and a tshirt from the creative list about Princess get the sillies. Snow White had her do a silly face with her, and there is one of Belle also. But it's on photopass. I'll have to order that one. Mulan kissed her check and we had to go to the bathroom a hundred times so we could look at the lipstick print.
Our last day. Kirsta was picked to be the Chef of the Day at the ASMusic resort. They made a big announcement and she got to make her ice cream sundae. Got a big certificate and balloon. She really loved it.
We got a lot of attention on the trip and it helped to make the trip really magical. I really think it was because of all her wonderful outfits I made her thanks to everyone here and their ideas. I might not have done as much as I did if not for everyone on the board. Thank you for your help and ideas.
I think I laughed that silent-wheezing-teary-gut-laugh till I hurt. I did buy the mid rise, 1 inch below my belly button jeans like the good Lord intended, but often get a good laugh at the disaster of ultra low rise jeans on this carcass.
I can not find this material ANYWHERE! I even looked on ebay but it was $8.00 a yard!!!!
I will gladly pay you for it and pay shipping! Thank you thank you thank you! Please pm me and let me know!
