Thomas is So cute! Fearsome Pirate I mean!!!

I wish we were going to the party on the same night. Wouldn't it be cute to have our 2 dancing Alice's pictured together!

Can't judge sizes so I'm of no help there.

ixiedust: so that no one gets ill before or during your trip!!!

Thanks. It's sad almost everyone else I know that is not part of our Grand gathering is going to MNSSHP on Tuesday. ALot of people from our town are going to Disney the same time as us since it's fall break.

I decided to order the medium Tink Costume since it will be near the end of the week and I'm sure all that food will make for tighter fitting clothes . Also since it will be hot and ssticky a larger size might be more comfortable. Of course the Disney store dresses I have in my closet are all size small so I'm hoping the costume will fit .

Whooo hoooo!! You will be there before you know it!!

We can't wait! hey you were supposed to be going the same week . But I'm sure february will be nice and much cooler.

Thanks . Glad you are loving POFQ. I hope you are having fun and enjoy the rest of your trip!!

Okay...you started this while I was gone and I didn't know about it! I'm at page 6 now. Cool beach/ride pics. The kids look like they're having fun!

Also, I see like the stripper costumes. I used to live in clothes like that. I think you could pull it off. Your DH would probably feel odd with all the men/teenage boys checking you out but so what! Still.

You changed resorts again! OMG girl. I thought I was bad!

The GG's sound lie FUN!

Well, we've still got Whispering Canyon! I'll be searching you out there!!



Introduce me to your friends from your town so I know some people to party with on Tuesday! Wouldnt that be funny!!!

yeah I'm starting to think hot and sticky costumes are not a good thing either. Hopefully its not TOO big like mine ended up being!

Well we should run into one another at some point. Maybe at HS or WCC. Are you still doing the waterpark on Friday? We plan to arrive early but my friends from the GG are doing a character meal first now as they upgarded to Deluxe dining plan too much food for me. It would be fun to meet other Dissers. If you get to HS on Monday well be there until afternoon.

Hi There Tammy, Glad to see you over here. You were on vacation when I started. I used to live on clothes like that too up until I was like 25 . the kids kind of finished me off, now I just look like a mom,LOL. My friend doesn't think I should dress up what a party pooper! I'm going to be the only adult out of 6 of us . Thomas says I have to be Tink or he will be very very mad at me, LOL. Might as well before I get any older or chunkier . It's a modest looking Tink costume though See link....




Yes we are at CBR now. But I have been watching for WL in case something becomes available. I can't wait, 7 more days until we are on our way. I'm trying to get Tom to take Friday off too but he is not budging . I figured maybe we could just check into a value resort in the evening but I guess we are just driving to GA. I'll take lots of pics but I'm sure they won't be anywhere near as good as yours.

I think we are planning the water park on friday. Now it depends on when we are able to eat.

I meant to quote this too.

This is so funny about the stripper clothes. I love the Tink outfit. You have to dress up. You are doing it for your kids not the adults and they will feel silly in plain clothes!!! You all can get inside the gates and point and laugh at them!

Ooohhh leave early. Check into POP!!!

 

[kaysmommie]

I have been so busy and am just exhausted. I can't wait to leave Friday, it can' come soon enough. A bunch of kids at school are sick. I wonder if Thomas should just stay home from preschool next week seems strep and a stomach bug are going around . For some reason i have 3 different little girls parents in Thomas's class telling me that their DD's say Thomas is their boyfriend . What is up with that??? Little girls are so cute but Thomas only plays with boys at preschool mostly. He would be horrified .

I have a huge to do list to get done this next week. My DF (Michelle is her name) ran to Disney store yesterday because she thinks our kids need more matching shirts for our Safari Dinner. She just wants the pics to look cute. Hey at least she is a planner though like me so that is a good thing.. We are all last minute stressing. I have one more school event on Wednesday for DD then I'm done with that at least.

So here is my my mile long to do list. if you think of anything I might be missing feel free to let me know .

Your right. I will have fun with my kids, the heck with them. Even Tom won't dress up with us. I really want to leave early but Tom thinks that would be taking advantage at work. He wants to go in a half day, like that is going to matter . My kids love Pop BTW.

 

[becky_AK]

Wow, you have a busy week to get things done before you head out. At least with a super busy week the days will fly by really fast.

That is so cute about the girls saying Thomas is their boyfriend. If he is like most little boys, I can only imagine how embarrassed he would be knowing that all these girls in his class have a crush on him.

First off...LOVE THE TINK COSTUME! You are going to look fabulous! And I agree, the rest of the adults will realize what they are missing out on, once they get there and see all the other adults who wear costumes too! (Spoken from someone who doesn't have the guts to do it herself - I will just be in a Disney Halloween t-shirt that Shawn made - I'll post it soon).

Now, the to-do list! Looks great! Might just copy and paste it for me! Except I don't have a pool to close up , nor do I have any fundraisers coming up (I think) .

Oh, and BTW...It's a girl thing. Michael is still chased at school during recess by 3 girls from kindergarten (they are in 2nd grade now). Same girls...all claim that he is their boyfriend. Ugh. So, Emily comes home from her first week of kindergarten, and low and behold she has a crush!

Oh brother!

I can totally relate to the mile long list Nichole - it sure feels good when you can cross something off doesn't it?

How is your dog by the way? Isn't Brandy the one who was sick last year? Did you always have two or is one new?

Yes it is crazy atound here and I'm not very motivated right now. STill on the DIS too much . I will already be missing a whole week on here . yes I think Thomas is very embaressed . One of the girls invited him to her Bday party but we will be in Disney. But he does want to buy her a nice big present though . So we have to pick something out before we leave or while we are in Disney.

Looking forward to seeing your Tshirts that Shawn made. My fiends are wearing halloween T shirts too. i told my DF that I wanted Tom to dress up and she said a tshirt is enough. Well I think he needs to be the mad hatter so Kaylee doesn't have to be a Winderland character all alone. i wantedto be Queen of hearts but because I bribed Thomas I have no choice but to be Tink .

I don't know what's up with these girls. I remember in Kindergarten girls in kaylee's class having crushes. Just this year I think she may have a crush but she says she is just friends with boys and doesn't have crushes on anyone . Well at least she is not the type to chase them but she will play kickball and basketball with the boys instead. I feel so bad for Thomas because he says they are not his girlfriends but he does crack a smile .

I can totally relate to the mile long list Nichole - it sure feels good when you can cross something off doesn't it?

How is your dog by the way? Isn't Brandy the one who was sick last year? Did you always have two or is one new?

The mile long list isn't much better yet. I went shopping today for shoes for Tink and some kind of tights to wear but had no luck. Also need to find knee socks for Kaylee but didn't find any so looks like she will wear tights. Brandy( she is old) is the one who almost died last year. We have had Daisy for almost 3 years but she doesn't have any issues so I don't bring her up much. Maybe I wil lpsot some pics of the dogs. Brandy has one good eye left , well actually she had glaucoma and had to have it removed 2 years ago . Luckily hair grew in there and since she is a Shih Tzu it's not super noticeable. I will say she did fine while I was in NJ during the summer. I hope she doesn't get sick again but I'm not going to worry myself to death over it.

 

[AZMickeyfans]

You said Kaylee is wearing knee high socks. Do you have her some mary jane type shoes to wear. Morgan grew out of hers. Well, the kind that would do anyway. We were considering just sending her in black flip flops for heat reasons. Would that look dumb? I'm losing steam on buying things last minute here. I dont have a crown either but that will have to do.


And if I didnt say so before I love the list.

Kaylee will be wearing knee socks or maybe tights. Depends on what I can find. She said she wasn't hot in the white tights last year with her Tink outfit. I bought her the Alice shoes and headband from Disney Store yesterday. So she is pretty much all set. I have to get Thomas's accesories when we get to Disney. Both of their Costumes are Disney world costume because a kind Disssers gave me the name of her friend that seels the costumes, thanks Tammy . Anyway I think the flip flops will be fine, hey its Florida. I thought about wearing flip flops to be Tink . Maybe I should, but which color?? Don't know what I'll find now that summer is over. I'm losing steam too, getting rundown is more like it. Think I'll be going to the Dr. this week because I have a head cold and I want some antibiotics so I can be completely better before we go. Just 4 more days until you are in Disney .
