Looks like you will get to ride those tea cups after all, refurbishment has been cancelled/postponed.

I heard! I'm so excited, some people may think it's silly but personally I can't wait.

Yes I've been neglecting this PTR for a while now. Life has been rather busy lately, with the holidays and school.

I guess first is a review of my christmas trip goodies:

First up is my new park bag. It's the Vera Bradley Hipster bag in the pink twirly birds pattern. I've been using it a lot lately at school, and can't wait to get use out of it in the parks.

Next up is one of my favorites of all the presents-my brave tshirt. My aunt got it from the Disney Store and I love how it's light weight and has a touch of glitter for sparkle. I also got a Brave reusable tote bag with merida on it.

I did get my Disney EOS! My mom got them for me in my stocking! I have the pink one(which I think is watermelon) in my purse right now, and just like other EOS it tastes delicious.

Lastly, I got a Disney gift card from my parents so I can get my own things while we're there.

I can't wait only 14 more days!!

We've been rather busy at our house. There is just so much to get done before we leave. The other night we finally got to work on our pin lanyards. We found a bunch of Disney ribbon on clearance at Walmart over the summer and we decided to turn them into pin lanyards. We took the ribbon and cut it to the right size for our necks then cut the same length in another plain ribbon for the backing. We then used heat and bond to bond them together and sewed the edges and the ends together.

(The quality of the pictures is poor because I took them on my ipod)

I also made my minnie ears. I simply put a loop on the middle with ribbon so I can change out the ribbons each day of the trip. I hope to make more ribbons this weekend. I like have the bows too because I can wear them as plain bows in my hair too.

Sorry for the many updates. So much has hapend that I've forgot to update about.

First up is my dog. This is Dobby, like the house elf from HP. He is a 4-H trained dog and loves to compete, especially in the agility ring. We've done 4-H Dog Club for about a year now and we both have learn a lot. Sadly, he won't be coming on the trip because we're flying. Don't worry though he won't be forgotten, we've bought him two toys already but he won't get them until we return.

We got the Pluto at Petsmart after the holidays on clearance and the Tigger at Walmart.

We've ordered a Hidden Mickey book for my brother and my pearl cage for Pick-A-Pearl in Japan. Hopefully both will arrive before we leave. This is the pearl cage I finally decided on(I got it from ebay):

Oh and in other new as the OP posted, the tea cups will now be open while we're there!!! I'm overly excited, I'm calling it an early birthday present from the Mouse himself!

I finished our autograph cards last night. I found the designs over on the autograph book thread and printed them as 4x6 on to 4.5x6.5 cardstock leaving a border on the left side. I was going to bind the cards but decided it would be easier to just put them in a photobox while we're there and bind them when we get home. Waiting until later also allows me to take out the characters we didn't see.

(blurry again, its the ipod)

And then I plan to make a photobook when we get home with pictures and autographs, so we'll get autographs in this book as well.We actually bought this one last trip and only got an autograph from Stitch(we weren't worried about characters then)

As a part of my birthday present, I booked the Pirates League makeover for myself! I'm going on the 27 and I want to get the mermaid makeover.

Only five more days!!

I love those autograph cards! We don't do autographs (just pictures) but I'm often tempted when I see cool layouts like that. I like the idea of only binding the ones you get, as well.

Thanks, the last time we went we got a few pictures with stich and mike but we weren't really into it. So we're jumping all in this year! We have some character meals that double up on characters so we'll just get pictures from the ones we already have an autograph from. And it would stink to have a book with a bunch of blank pages where no one signed, right?

TODAY IS THE BIG DAY! DISNEY HERE WE COME!!!
