Great deals from the Disney Store, I am especially loving the Grumpy stuff!

I LOVE Grumpy I drink my Tea out of my Grumpy mug every day!

I wish my store have a sale like that haha

This is the second one near me to have a sale like that recently, luckily this one is just closing for remodeling. The last one closed for good

Great finds!!!

Tailor wants one of those Minnie's and her clothes... Of course she wants pretty much everything else she sees too...

Emma loves Minnie... do you believe those outfits were 49 cents and the Minnie was $6

So I have been hanging aroung the DISign boards for a while hitting up all the talented DISigners for some wonderful creations that I will be putting on shirts for our trip.

I don't want to make the shirts now, especially since Emma has decided to eat her body weight in food a day so I think she's going through a growth spurt. So I will wait till Oct Nov to make them.

I thought I would share a couple of the pics with you until I can make the shirts

So these with all the shirts I have got at the Disney store lately and I think we should be set!!

Hey there everyone. I have been checking out flights for my trip and I have always flown out of Toronto but the taxes are soooooo high in Canada that I am thinking about driving to Buffalo and flying from there. I was wondering if anyone has opinions on the following airlines:

Airtran
Southwest
Jetblue

I have never used any of them so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Natalie

Great stuff from the DISigns board. The Canadian stuff is too cute!

The only airline we have flown is Southwest, you get 2 checked bags free. It is cheaper for us usually and if you have to change or cancel your flights there are not cancellation/change fees. They will just give you a credit to use within one year of the date of purchase. I also haven't ever had a flight time change with them either. They are not as fancy, the seats might not be as comfortable, but for getting us there safely with great flight attendants, and not costing an arm and a leg, we will continue to use them.

Thanks Tracy
Southwest is what I am leaning towards since I don't usually hear too many complaints about them. When do they usually have the lowest fares, right before the flight or a long time before?

 

[Tinkermom76]

Does anyone know the Dec refurbs?

 

[Tinkermom76]

OK 10 days till I make my ADR's and now I don't know what to do. On Dec 5 we have play and Dine for Breakfast at DHS, we are doing MVMCP that night and right now I have a QS where ever we feel like eating. I am considering adding Crystal Palace for 430 as an early dinner. We have only had breakfast there before, what is the Dinner like?

This would have to be a pay out of pocket dinner but would leave a QS available in case I get a later flight out on the 11th which is what I'm hoping for

I don't know what to do

 

[Tinkermom76]

OK now I am thinking the Plaza instead since my kids aren't big Winnie the Pooh fans

Has anyone eaten here before?

Hi my name is Ty, I was just surfing for Dec 2010 PTR's and found yours. Our dates are very close to eachother, I am going Dec 3-10. My Sept trip has been postponed a year but I couldn't wait that long for Disney, so my friend and I have planned a trip for Dec.

I have gone pretty much the same dates in December for the past 2 years and I have never had any problems or felt it was too crowded with Pop Warner going on.

I am also doing MVMCP on the 5th.

So any way just wanted to introduce myself, let you know you have a new reader and I am subbing your PTR. I havn't started one for my Dec trip yet, just waiting for the right time.

P.S. your kids are cuties.

I have found some of the greatest deals the day the fares come out. The fares for November 6th - January 7th, 2011 come out on June 15th as of right now. I check the website every couple of days just to make sure they haven't moved the release date. We usually buy the first day then I keep up with the "Dings" so if the price turns out lower I would cancel, rebook and then have a credit.

[disneydreamer1970]

Looks like there will be quite a crowd of Disers at the same time, and I had planned on MK on the 6th as well.

After reading these PTR's for our time frame I think that it is time to start one of my own.

I will be staying at Pop Century.

I think the the first of Dec is a steller time to go crowd wise. I went once in April, it was crowded but still do able. December...you still have lines but it's easier.

readin over your PTR I just want to tell you that the pineapple dole whip is heaven in your mouth.

I have been to Disney 3 times and still haven't done everything I want to and each time I go I add more to the list. I have a list too of things I haven't done, seen eaten etc...etc..., and as long as they keep comin gout with new attractions my list will keep growing.

I want to stay at Pop so bad... if I don't get a PIN next year it's pop and if I do it's Beach Club

We went last Dec and loved it... I have been in Feb, May, Aug and Dec and I think Dec is the best so far. Next year we are trying Oct

I don't think my list will ever end, thats why we are going in Oct next year cause I wanna do MNSSHP

I will be happy when I can figure out the candlelight processional one... the rest will be fine

I am so excited to stay at the Poly I can't wait to get there

The Candlelight Processional bothers me because they train us to make the ADR's at 180 days out but don't give us the info (narrators list) to make decisions.
