I think I've found another activity we're going to do on our trip. Now it's not the average wedding/honeyoon holiday activity, but for us it's something really unique........:

I'm only contemplating the 5k (we are on holiday after all and I'm not really a runner), and I think it might just be me and Si that do it (we'll be a husband and wife duo by then!) but I think it sounds really exciting! Plus I'm a sucker for some exclusive Disney merchandise!

Anyone done anything like this before?

Do you think I've gone mad?!!

YES YOU ARE MAD

No it sounds fun but I hate running.

my sisters (Caryndisneydiva) and (Lindsay22) run in the Disney marathons all the time. THey are trying to get me to do it as well so I am working on becoming a runner. They love the merchandise and although it is tough, they seem to have a good time doing it. They both post on these boards (my sister Lindsay22 just got married 12 days ago in Disney) so if you have questions, I am sure they will be happy to answer.

That's right, I remember now, didn't they run something recently in minnie mouse style skirts and ears?

I might have to enlist their help!! Plus I now need to check out Lindsay's trip report, I assume she has one underway - her wedding came round so fast, I didn't realise it had gone by already!

Thanks Meg

DH keeps asking me about starting to run and I said the only way that I'll do it is if we train for a Disney marathon I have heard good things about the races, so I'm sure you'll have a great time doing it.

I'm a little behind on things, we've been gone the last 3 weekends, so I just wanted to say that I love your shoes. I had some that were similar on my wedding day and I was grateful that I was comfortable!

The Polynesian is a fantastic resort, I only stayed there once for a few nights with my friend's family and hope that Kris and I can stay there one day too.

Happy Birthday

Okay so today we put together a final prototype of our invitation, whaddya think?:

I've told you before how great these are but did you make them yourselves from scratch or did you customise something? I need some sort of folder to put maps and stuff in.

 

[meryll83]

Happy Birthday

Thanks hun!

I've told you before how great these are but did you make them yourselves from scratch or did you customise something? I need some sort of folder to put maps and stuff in.

We bought all the materials from cardsandpockets.com, the folders come ready made, and the card for the main invitation is already the correct size, and the tallest of the inserts, we just have to cut down the shorter inserts.

Oooh look how far my tickers are on now, it really is getting close!!! We can actually send the invites out soon (when we've made them all!) We actually did a first batch yesterday of around 20, didn't take all that long, so looking forward to doing another set soon....

Where did you get that awesome Mickey graphic?!? I want to do something similar with my invites, I love yours!

The one in the bottom corners is actually a cut-out, I bought the punch on ebay - it's just called a swirly mickey punch or something along those lines. I cut it out of the main invite so you can see the folder underneath, and then stuck the cutting on the other side. I've actually put a sticky pearl in the centre of that one now too.
The pale pink one on the background I just created using a swirly pattern from the autoshapes available in Word I think, either that or it was clipart, but I just pieced together 3 to make the mickey head.

Ok, so we still haven't decided whether to do the beastie ToT run yet, now we've put together a timetable, we're quite busy bees, so we'll see how funds are going nearer the time I think...


Halloween Horror Nights tickets for Universal are starting to come on sale now, and we were planning on buying these as gifts for our bridesmaids, best man and partners. So we had a chat with everyone concerned to check they were still up for this plan.

However, Adam and Anna seem unsure that they won't want to leave early to check on the baby (who'd likely be with parents), so it's been decided that this might not be the best gift for them.

Sooooo, please please please help me think of a new gift idea for them!! We've been going down the route of experiences whilst everyone is in Florida (i.e. our parents have Cirque tickets), but I'm struggling to think of something baby friendly if they wanted to bring her along, or something which doesn't last all that long so they wouldn't mind leaving her for a couple of hours with family maybe. And something around $60-100 per person ish......

What about a backstage tour or a carriage ride around WL? Parasailing was great!

Great ideas Claire,
It will be Anna's first visit, so I don't know if a backstage tour might spoil the magic, but they're definitely all ideas we can run past them.

Any more ideas anyone? I'm lacking inspiration!!
