MNSSHP 2017 - Strategy in the making.

[acln]

I know this is a bit off topic of the thread, but we've decided to add an extra Disney day to our trip! Obviously going to spend it in the Magic kingdom so I'm thrilled to be able to do some of the things I wanted to squeeze into our party night on a regular day, like Elena M&G or ride 7dmnt.

Can't wait for the first week of parties to start so I can finalize my plans more!

Hoping I'll have a costume update soon also, I've been slacking!

We go in 51 days and I've done nothing! Haha! Hoping once my lo goes back to school next week I can really get started crafting and ordering! Sometimes I work better under pressure!

I had planned to spend my day off today doing my costumes but my parents decided to go through everything in the loft (attic) so I'm helping, not an easy task, decades of stuff up there.

Upside found our Halloween stuff and photos from the 1995 trip to Disneyland Paris.

Not sure about anyone else, but my son and husband plan on doing this on our second day at MK before the Halloween Party on Oct 31st, timing is perfect! On our first MK day Oct 29th they plan on playing Sorcerer of the Magic Kingdom.

We have finished for the day and there's not time left, I was going to start on Belle but I have forgotten to wash the skirt so I may start that at the weekend - I have this weekend off.

I start work super early in the morning and I'm finished by lunch time so I have time tomorrow to fix my pouches to the belt. I might have a go at making the Fox away spray Judy had. I was going to add the blue detail to my police badge but the Posca pen is too big the one with the smaller nib is on Amazon but it's an add on so I have to find another £16/17 to spend when I wasn't planning to yet.

Awh dear, you did work on it a lot on Sunday so I think you're allowed to slack a bit.

Not MNSSHP @FoxC63, but will you do a similar post for MVMCP?

Unfortunately it's not my area of expertise, I'm a Halloween baby and only go to WDW during this time. Sorry buddy but thanks it's a great compliment!

@Travelgrrl posted Tsum Tsum Lip Smackers and Amazon has them BUT she got them from Walgreen's for half the price! It's another add-on but super cute!

Awh they are super cute, I can't get them on Amazon.co.uk, thanks for the suggestion though.

I should ask our private car transfer driver to stop by Wallgreens for these lip balms if I can't find them in Toronto. Too cute!

Look in the clearance aisle which is in the back of the Walgreens store (usually near the pharmacy). You can't miss it because there is a rash of orange clearance stickers on everything. They were $4.99, on sale for $2.19!

I got Dumbo, Ariel and Tink!

 

[Travelgrrl]

Oh no, I ordered one with the carrot pen

You could really make that badge POP by just painting black acrylic paint on it, then quickly wiping it off! It really gets in the cracks and makes an inexpensive piece of plastic look amazing! Here's an EPBOT post showing some before and after shots of a Baby Groot action figure. She does various things to it, the the main one that makes it look great is the black paint, quickly wiped off:

WDW releases Party Details!

Thanks @Farro for posting!

What do you use for entry to the park for MNSSHP?

We're local (relatively speaking) and will be driving over just for the party. We didn't get APs this year but have lots of old magic bands. Would we be able to just each choose an old one and use it, since they're linked to our MDE accounts and so are our party tickets?

I know we won't need them for the party, but for park entry and FPs from 4:00-6:30, can we just use old magic bands?

I have seen them at Shoppers Drugmart in the GTA, and at my local Walmart Superstore. Not as many varieties as the US and priced in the $5 range.

Thanks, I kind of what this one to stay the colour it is because it's quite bold in the movie but defiantly a technique for another time.

No costume updates but I did get all but one of my last toiletries sorted and I got a free Cars 3 cup for buying two bottles of Sun cream at Boots (like a Walgreens type of thing). I need to sort the last bit of my spending money out and print my spreadsheets when I stop updating them and email Disney just double checking some information on snacks and such for being vegetarian I've seen a site before but I just want to check again because I know suppliers can change etc. Placed my Garden Grocer order the other day, missed the 60 day discount but I still got 7% off. Got myself some water (Evian because I can't stand Dsani it tastes awful, if I'm paying $3.50 for water I want Spring water not bottled tap water )so I can start each morning with a cold bottle of water, some Minute Maid apple juice - never seen that in the UK, because I enjoy that too and I can drink that when it gets warm and some Clif cookies, I had those for breakfast when in LA and they kept me going till lunchtime - using them as a snack not a meal this time.

How about everyone else, any costume updates?

My pen should arrive tomorrow, I used eBay so I didn't have to add anything I didn't want.
