Magical Grand Gathering Trip with Pics. Completed

[Poohtigeey]

Hey Nichole!!! I have not been a faithful DISer these days so I didn't know you had a pre trippie. Your plans sound fabulous! For the costumes keep in mind the comfort for rides. They may not let Thomas on the rides w/ that Wall-E costume or if you guys get card costumes. Your trip is coming up fast. As for you, Michelle, and Sara meeting up all I have to say is Have fun, but I gotta tell ya, they are pretty weird girls in person! Just sayin....

Hi Nichole! The itinerary looks great. i like how you are taking it easy the day you are going to MNSSHP. Unfortunatley I have an 8:05am bf planned for CP the morning we go. But we are nappers so I"m sure we'll be sleeping at some point during the day.

I like the 1st Queen of hearts costume. It says it comes with crinolin so at least you know there's another layer underneath the dress. You should dress up!
Look on ebay too. I just got DS a tigger costume of 1/2 price of Babies R Us!

I'm going to have check Ebay for something for me maybe. Thomas was Tigger when he was 18 months, so cute!! I think you will be fine with your 8:05 breakfast. Just make sure you leave early anough to have long nap/ break. Last year we did EMH at MK then stayed until noon and I woke the kids up at 3:30 for get ready and they were tired. Kaylee had a makeover appt at BBB at 4Pm though so I had to wake her up earlier than I wanted. then the kids were wiped out by 9PM but I made them stay for hallowishes then they wanted to leave.

Ooooooo! I've never heard of this but DD has a HUGE sweet tooth and would love it! What do you do there?

At Goofy's Candy Company you order your own treat. You can choose from Rice Krispy treats, Mickey Ears Gingerbread man, Pretzels and Marshmallows. then you can pick what they are dipped in, stuff like nuts, sprinkles, chocolate, carmel. I can't remember what else but lots of other stuff you can put on your treat. The best part is it's around $4 or just a snack credit on the dining plan.

Hi Monica, Your too funny . I understand sometimes you need a DIS break. I took a week off during the summer but it was hard for me, LOL Glad you found my trippie. For MNSSHP party we will probably only do a few rides if that. I think the Wall E costume is made of Foam so I'm hoping it will squish up. I guess I wil bring a halloween Tshirt for him in case. Thomas is not budging with his selection of Costume. Not unless I let him be Spiderman who I don't really like .

Hi and welcome!! Thanks for reading, I have to come check out your trippie too. So did you like CBR? I see you in your ticker you stayed there in 2002.

Nicole, I loved reading through your trip reports, and your family is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. I hope you guys have a spectacular trip.

Btw, we live in New Jersey and it's a great place!

I enjoyed it there. Make sure you request a room close to the main building...we were way way in the back and it was a long walk. The resort is beautiful...I know you will love it

Hey Nichole,

Just found your PTR looks great! can't wait to hear how you liked CBR... sounds like fun to be going with friends..

 

[hlrababy]

Hey Nichole!!
I made it over! Aww, if we were still going in October, we would be there the same time!
I feel for you on the costume situation! Hollie was originally going to be Tinkerbell, but then I bought her the cutest Alice dress. But, now that we are going in February, I guess she can just be Aurora again!

Good to know. We booked a preferred room so should be close to the main building. Thanks.

Hi there! Thanks for reading again. I'm looking forward to trying a new resort .

I know our dates did overlap but glad you are still able to go in February. The weather will be much cooler too. October last year was so hot & humid. Though from my ex SIL that lives in Orlando she says the weather has been great this week down there. So hollie was going to be Alice too? I love the Alice costume, so cute. But Aurora is just a beautiful dress too. Kaylee has never been Aurora, guess she never will now since she is 8 and next year she wants to be a witch or something scarier .

Geez

Looking over your schedule we might see you again at TL and WCC on Friday. Since there is no BB if the kids want to do TL twice then we'll go there on Friday because that was a BB day.

You've got some really neat stuff planned.

Hi, I just found your PTR and you're off to a great start. Your itinerary looks great and the grand gathering sounds like a lot of fun.

I'm jealous you'll be there for 8 days. We took a trip several years ago when we were there for 10 days but usually we only stay 4 or 5 because of school schedules and stuff. But hey, a trip to Disney is a trip to Disney, right?!

That stinks that BB will be closed for refurbishment when you're there. I liked Typhoon Lagoon but Blizzard Beach was so much better (atleast IMO).

Can't wait to hear more about your trip!

Your plans sound great Nichole!

The Wall-E costume is adorable! Good point about squishing in to the stroller though. Have you made any final costume decisions?

 

[crgfsu1]

Hi Nichole!!! I just thought I'd check you last trip report to see you had a link for this pre-trippie yet...glad I did Your plans sound great. I hope you like CBR - we sure did. I bet the new pool will be nice too.

BTW - Is Thomas still doing OK (from his procedure last spring?)

Heather, we are going in February too!! The 3rd - 10th. Maybe we can meet up?? My DD is 3 now, but will be 4 for the trip. We are staying off site (yikes!!) this time. Hope that goes well. I'll work my way over to your pre-trippie and check out the details.

HEY!!!!

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Hey Nichole,

Well, we just switched our Costume theme for MNSSHP. We are going as Alice in Wonderland so I remembered that you ahd posed a few pictures of Queen of hearts costumes. I like that 2nd one you had but I'm not sure on the sizing. What is a standard woman size anyway???

I agree most of the Queen of hearts costumes belong in a stripper club.

Hi there and welcome to my trippie. Thanks for all your kind comments
Sorry I must have missed your post when I scrolled down somehow.

Thanks. Hope to see you all there .

Hi Michelle,
Well Thomas is crying because he still wants to be Wall E. I told him I don't know how he will be able to sit or ride the Tea Cups and now he is crying . He is tired though. Since the costume is made of foam I wonder if we can just squish it down??

I'll work my way over to your pre-trippie and check out the details. Thanks so much for asking about Thomas he is doing well thank god . He started preschool and he is starting to like it and make new friends. He is so shy though but hopefully we continue to come out of his shell.

Hi Cathy! How are you and cute little Abby doing? Glad to hear your going again too. I'm looking forward to trying CBR and the new pool. It looks like a pretty resort. Thanks so much for asking about Thomas he is doing well thank god . He started preschool and he is starting to like it and make new friends.

OMG most of the ladies costumes look like stripper costumes. It says a standard fits up to a womans size 12. LOL though the Tink I ordered was supposed to fit up to a size 10 and it was like a size 2. I'm a size 6 because of my baby bulge or i would fit in a 4 and it was tiny. It is a different company though. Make sure you find out what the return policy in case it is too large or small. If you order it please let me know how the fit is. I don't think I like the poofy one, it's too poofy. Morgan will make a great Alice!! Kaylee needs a blonde wig but she doesn't want to wear one. Her hair is dirty blonde and it's shoulder length now becase she got a haircut over the summer. I wanted her to keep it long but oh well it's her hair. So do you think the boys in your house will go with the Alice theme?

Hi Nichole! I didn't realize you had another report going on until I saw your post on another TR. I enjoyed your past two so I will definitely be sticking around for this one as well.

I agree. Wall-e might be difficult to move in. I see it getting ripped off within the hour!

Jake wanted to be the White Rabbit and was more excited than Aladdin. If they change their minds I'm making them be pirates as the final straw. How many times can we all change costumes!!! I'm glad I'm not the only familly who is going through this.
