Magic in the Making...Our Family Takes on the World for the Very First Time! W/PICS!

[remfam5]

Yes, the mousesavers site has some cute stuff.

If you decide on Ohana-- try to get there around the time of Wishes! It's wonderful!

And 2 more things...... Don't forget to get your "First Timer" buttons at City Hall and use the PHOTOPASS photographers as much as possible. They take amazing shots and our kids love the ones where we are "holding" characters in our hands. Just ask the photographer for a "magical" picture holding Tink, etc...

Have Fun!!

Thanks for Reading! They'll definately have disposable cameras...I'm sure they'll have a blast with them! Thanks for the tip!

Don't know if you have Walgreen's near you but they have Disney decorated disposable cameras. They are SOOOO cute!

Hi there!
We'll be first timers in November as well and I've got a couple little things I've learned from both friends and DISers:

Try to re-book your BBB and CRT back to back...maybe you can do lunch at CRT instead of bkfast and book BBB a couple of hours before -

I've heard it's magical for girls to go to eat at CRT dressed up and done up like princesses.

You didn't mention rain ponchos - so that's another one.
I also have heard that DTD is awesome to hang out the first day - and you're probably getting some Planet Hollywood gift certs from your AAA ressie - so that's a good place to eat for less when you're at DTD.

Have a good time - and keep the pre-trippie going!!!!!

Glad you stopped by! Thanks for the tips...I do appreciate each and every one of them! We did consider doing BBB along with CRT, but decided to do BBB for MNSSHP instead, as DD is going as Cinderella We'll definately be stocking up on ponchos sometime before our trip, and thanks for the reminder about Planet Hollywood! Have fun planning your first trip, as well!

DOUBLE DIGITS!!!

WOO HOO!

Hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July and a great weekend! We had a great time with Family and Friends! Here’s a few pictures from the fun!

The Parade...

The Fireworks...

The Fam...

I’ve updated my introductions in my Pre-Trippie with some pictures of “Our Cast” as I didn’t know how to add pictures back when my madness began! Double Digits tomorrow! And another update on our Disney Planning…coming soon!

 

[lsjones]

Happy double digits!!!!

 

[mvazul]

Great pictures from the 4th!! Looks like all of you had a great time.

Are you doing the double digit dance today??

 

[pamouselover]

Your kids are adorable! They look so much alike!

TRY and wake up tinker belle in the gift shop to the left of the castle.
Let the kids play in the water at Ariels grotto, will an adult waits in line to see her.They will dry fast in the Fla. heat.
Ask Cm add food stands for ice in a cup, when it melts it is GOOD tasting water, not that nasty Fla. water.

We're doing the Double Digit Dance!!!

Not to go overboard or anything!!!
Only 99 Days before taking off for the World!!!

The kids were super excited about our 99 day mark and they were dancing all around the house singing a song they made up..."We're going, we're going, we're going to DisneyWorld" and I was hysterical! Sooo...I got the camera out to take a short video and of course, kids being kids, now they had to perform for me Nonetheless, it was still pretty cute and here's my attempt to post a video...


We were literally doing the Double Digit Dance!

On to our Disney Planning...we are still on the fence about our first day's activities and Dining. Still not sure what to do , but I'm actively working on it! I was fortunate and found a Fairy Godmailer for our kiddos which will be very exciting for them. And I can't wait to return the favor for some little ones when we get to DW...what a fun and kind way to "pay it forward!" My DSisIL has the perfect day bag for Disney, very similar to a Baggallini, that she bought at a Flea Market in AZ, so she's going to pick us up a couple when she goes back in August and they are only $8!! Can't beat that! I've been busy checking out all of TGM's info for our trip and WOW! am I overwhelmed! I've been searching for some fun t-shirt designs (the iron-on type) that we can all wear on the days we will be at the parks...would love any suggestions! Other than that, I'm just checking and rechecking (a million times) our Itinerary and ADR's, and hoping that everything will just fall into place. Stay tuned for more shopping updates Thanks for reading and sharing in our excitement!

[SwansLoveDisney]

Those are some adorable kiddos you have!

I agree that TGM is a lot of information. I am very appreciative of all the info, but it's a little bit overwhelming!

I am staying at AKL for the first time in October as well. I CAN NOT WAIT!!!! I've only been there as a visitor, never as a guest, so I'm thrilled that we'll be staying there. You guys will love it!

 

[momtoccc]

Just wanted to say "hi". I got some tips from your pre-trip report -thanks! We are going right after you (Nov 1-7) for our DD's first trip.

The planning and read can get overwhelming but it is so much fun isn't it???

Have a great trip!
