I take of a couple of nights and y'all post 2 pages!!! I feel so left out!
My two cents on DTD....
First let me say that I am a WDW souvenir addict. I have figured out that looking at the things I have bought from there gets me through to the next trip. Personal favorite are my WDW Christmas village, our WDW clothing items and picture frames to name a couple.
We never used to do DTD but then realized that they have the most variety in items. If it's for sale in WDW, DTD most likely has it. Keeping all that in mind plus the fact we found out (or should I say we realized) that we could get an extra 10% off in World of Disney @DTD if you use or show your Disney Visa we now go there in the beginning for the main souvenir shopping. AND I would be too embarrassed to even tell you what I spend on souvenirs for us! Lastly, I ship the stuff straight home from there. The 10% off usually covers the shipping and if you ship home they DO NOT charge sales tax.
You all have a Disney rewards card right?????? It's a must have for the Disney vacationer! If not let me refer you and we will both get 25.00 bucks in Disney Rewards!
Just got my Disney rewards card yesterday - I'm the proud owner of $2.80 in Disney reward dollars!
I think that might get me a bag of popcorn? When we moved, we put EVERYTHING on AMEX for about 2 months (remember, we still hadn't sold our house?) so I got the invite with 12 months no interest on balance transfers - I'm in!!! Quick question - I see that we get 10% off at WOD in DTD but what about just the
Disney Store? Anywhere else we get the discount?
I'm confused too!
Mine says it has vodka in it also but when you go to the website, alot of their drink recipes say to ADD vodka. We made the x-rated flirtinis last weekend: vodka, fusion liqueur, triple sec and cranberry juice. Good lord - I've been adding vodka the whole time!
I made the "X-Rated Vacation" and it was AWESOME!!!! I think X-Fusion liquor, vodka, and pineapple juice? I think something else but can't remember what it was.... Also, there is X-Fusion liquor (I think this is what Debbie has), and X-Rated vodka (which is just vodka).
Hiya all -
Have been trying some US foods for the kids, get them used to some different things - I know we can just eat like normal, (pasta, chicken, tomato seems to be a staple of the Western world...) but would be nice for them to try other stuff....
Reeses Pieces YES YES YES - my Harry met Sally moment!
Kelloggs Fruit Loops - OMG Nooooooooooo - we have toilet cleaner that smells like that - yeeuuukk......
Buttermilk pancakes mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Maple syrup (ok it was Canadian..) mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
DH and I were laughing so hard at this! Glad to know the US is well known for it's fine cuisine - Reese's Pieces and Fruit Loops!
I'm so excited about our
party .. My DD has got the most beautiful Alice dress i can't wait to see her in it .. we are going on the 16th and she has BBB that arvo!! We have a humungous villa as there are 16 of us staying in it!!! Am sure yours will be great
Make sure you post pics of DD in her dress!!! And bless you with 16 people in a villa! I'm sure I would be
after an hour! We're already having "issues" with DSIL (just like I imagined!!!!).
3. I do want to get a nice Christmas ornament as well as a cute Snow White outfit for DD. Any suggestions of where in the World to get these? I think I remember Debbie (?) talking about DTD Christmas shop selection being better. I hadn't planned on going there, but if I need to I will.
Also, DHS has a Christmas shop (near Pizza Planet I think!) and it's kinda hidden so not very busy. Also, try
www.disneyshopping.com for SW dress. We had very good luck finding DD's Belle gown there, and it was $35 compared to around $60-90 at DTD.
yeah, the scrapbooker in me is trying to justify a run to DTD at some point. I keep telling myself I can work on it when I go to CKU!
Hummm... maybe I will go to DTD.
I got it! How about you make a "quick" run out there after you leave CP the first evening? Should be early and you could head out there and still be back to your room by 8ish.
Yeah....maybe I will try again the XRated Fusion tonight. We will see. I want to put something else in it like orange juice or pineapple juice or something but I can't put my finger on what I am craving with it.
I found a new drink!!! Very mild, too, for all you tea totalers! It's a "pomatini" - Pomagranate martini mix and vodka! Mix 1 to 1 - yum!!! I had to go buy martini glasses today because DH got me the fixin's on Friday!
Other disers would probably say no but not this one! If it's the exact same glass I say pack it and bring it on in (if I am understanding you correctly). I am sorry to say I am NOT familiar with Goofy's candy company
!
I agree! Not to "cheat" the system, but we just bought the mugs at POR and they were the generic "year of a million dreams" mugs so we're taking them back in May to POP. Plus, we're packing our POP mugs from 2006 just in case.
Yeah, but sadly, I don't!
I feel your pain!!!!!
I don't remember if it was Cammie or Debbie but someone said (I think) that you get out of FL tax. Might really be worth it to me to ship it back. hmmmm....
I told DH about this and thought it was a great deal until her reminded me that we live in FL so we pay tax regardless! Duh!!!!
Just spent the day at the St Augustine Outlets - got GREAT deals at the Izod gold shop for DH and me. And we "accidentally" found a Disney outlet!
We got "year of a million dreams" picture frames for $2.99 each! Probably sell for around $10-12 at the parks! We bought one for the in-laws and SIL, too. But she's already complaining about the plans DH and I have come up with. AND, we booked Garden Grill for lunch the day we arrive as a "surprise" for everyone, it will be the only character meal that we all do together, and what a way to start the trip, right? DSIL is saying that she doesn't want her DS to see Mickey until Chef Mickey's on Day 4!!! What's up with that??? We're gonna pretend we didn't hear her, and continue with our plans. Besides, what's she gonna do when we see Mickey at MK or Epcot or AK the first 3 days???
Another DSIL complaint - I think I told y'all that she didn't want to split the cost of HDDR with us for the grandparents, but she finally agreed. We bought the tickets and she still owes us over $200. It's been 4 months now. She keeps emailing me and asking the amount. Like 3 times. We just found out that they have virtually refurnished their entire NEW house!!!! I'm losing it! DH thinks its funny to egg me on about it. He is in agreement about his sis, but he just doesn't let it get to him like I do!
Anyway, heading out to dinner with the neighbors - y'all have a great night!
Hello to everyone I didn't quote just now! Come back......

inside MK. I will keep that in mind. One question - this shipping thing you mentioned, do you have to pay your local tax if you ship? I don't remember if it was Cammie or Debbie but someone said (I think) that you get out of FL tax. Might really be worth it to me to ship it back. hmmmm....
You for putting up with her -
