My Son Loves Halloween...5/5 3 updates! Main Street, castle, statue photos

[AZMickeyfans]

Great List!! Sounds like everything is coming together. I'm so excited for you

2 days left!!!!



I just spent yesterday backing up my SD cards. I made CD's of everything. It had been awhile since I had done that. Like 3 years. I was going to buy new SD cards then I realized I have perfectly good ones sitting here that just need to be deleted. It was scary but you can do it!!!

I'm writing down key points I want to steal for my to do list! See I go around stealing other peoples packing and to do lists so I dont have to be responsible for coming up with one on my own.

Everything looks great. Update us when you knock some things off!

2 DAYS!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited for you!
You sound so organised, and calm!
The costumes all sound fab, and the tie dye tshirts - I'm so impressed!
We're booked up to see HSM and HSM2 on ice in December, we went to see 'The Incredibles in a Magic Kingdom Adventure' last year and it was fab! I was amazed they can skate so well in all the costumes! What one did you see?
If i don't get a chance to post in the next couple of days - have a great time! Can't wait to hear all about it!

I go back and forth between calm and panic.
I'm did another tie dye for Jacob this morning, we'll see how it comes out.

We saw Cars, The Little Mermaid, Lion King, and Tinkerbell and the Fairies. Hannah loved it. Jacob thought the cars were cool.

Hannah would love to see HSM.

Great List!! Sounds like everything is coming together. I'm so excited for you

I am slowly getting everything backed up. I actually had caught up mid July. I have so many photos and videos and not much memory on my computer that I have run out of space and not been able to download photos twice this year.

I did the easiest one on there. I preordered the photopass.
Jacob printed the mousekeeping envelopes. I didn't fill them yet, but I tossed them in the suitcase so I would not lose them. And he's working on that skeleton.

I can no longer say in a week... because we are only going for 5 days, so next Wed we will be home.

But in 48 hours we will be on the plane!!!

I rinsed the tie dye shirts and ran them through the washer twice.
I didn't like Jacob's so I made him a new one this morning.
Its still soaking.

The dye for the Mickey really ran, and is very blurry.
The rest of the shirt does not have much dye.
If it were just the mickey I'd try to bleach, but the shirt just has no color.

I took pictures but they are a bit dark.
Jacob's FIRST shirt.

I dyed it while wrapped up.

But once opened there was a lot of white inside.
I thought it would soak through. It didn't.
First time doing this, that's why I bought extra shirts.

I drowned his second one in dye.
I may have used too much.

My tank top:

My t-shirt:

We made Hannah a Mickey shirt too. Hers has different colors.

I also made her a long sleeve shirt with a heart.

She loved them both!!!

 

[AshleyMWC]

Wow, those shirts came out awesome! I am impressed- I don't think I am talented enough to make something like that. If I did it, Mickey would probably have a uni-ear or something. Maybe one year I will be adventurous and try making them.

I can't believe you leave in 2 days!! I can only imagine the excitement in your house. We are 29 days away and we are already beyond excited!!

 

[irky416]

The shirts look great! And the Mickey's turned out really well.

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Great shirts Kathleen. Mine would look like a giant blob. a great brown blob. I wont go into the description anymore.......

You guys really did awesome. I've never tie dyed. It sounds difficult.

 

[DisneyTiger]

YAY tie dye!!! I love them. I don't think I could ever do that either. I'm much better off printing out a design ontop transfer paper and ironing. That, I can handle. What I can't handle is ONLY ONE MORE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you even believe it??? I am so excited!!!!

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Wow am I the first one to say

YOU LEAVE TOMORROW!!!!

Thanks!
It was easier than I expected.
Especially the second time.
We actually printed out a Mickey stencil from the Disigns board, cut it out and traced it on the shirt.

The shirts look great! And the Mickey's turned out really well.

Thanks!
I love Jacob's second shirt, will have to take a picture!

Great shirts Kathleen. Mine would look like a giant blob. a great brown blob. I wont go into the description anymore.......

I was worried it would be a disaster, that's why I put it off so long.

I did iron ons once a long time ago, and had a lot of difficulties.
We will try making two iron ons today and see if it goes better.

I can't believe we'll be on the way tomorrow!!!!

I have boarding passes!!!!!



I unwrapped and rinsed Jacob's second tie dye shirt last night, and I love it!!!
I showed it to him this morning and he said AWESOME a bunch of times. Its so colorful and the Mickey looks pretty good. I asked him if he wanted me to try and bleach the corners but he said no.
I'm glad I did a new one for him!!!

Jacob has to round up his pirate gear to pack. And I forgot he needs some kind of belt for the sword.
