Emma x

Thanks Emma!

They came out better then I was even expecting! They're perfect for you guys! And congrats on your improvement...that's great!

So perfect, right? I hope that CM from Mexico doesn't mind he is on our shirts!!

The shirts are AWESOME!!!

Thanks Tracy!!

They are very nice! And you look super excited! yay!

Haha! Can you tell? Beyond excited! It's the little things....

I was about 4003 pages behind.

The cutest was that every once in a while, she'd stop and turn her back towards us and say, "See my wings?" ADORABLE!!

SO SO CUTE!!!!!!!

And last, I opened this! A Poppins umbrella ornament!

But look closely!!! What is that in there with the ornament????

Tickets for Poppins on Broadway!!! For next weekend!! We saw this show when it first opened a few years ago and it is the best musical I have ever seen. I remember clapping so hard at the end that my hands hurt the rest of the night. I am so excited to be seeing it again, especially since they recently brought back the original Bert and Poppins.

HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY!!! What incredible, thoughtful gifts!!! Love the music set, that is amazing! And for going to see Mary Poppins again! I love that show too, it's so incredible-you can feel the Disney magic during it!

I'm up bright and early! It's Erin's ADR morning and since she set her alarm for a few minutes before 6 to make ADRs, I got up too! It's so exciting! Anyway, she was able to book the 3 places they are eating without us, and the 2 places we are eating altogether: Beirgarten on Saturday AND 'Ohana on Friday night before MNSSHP!! SOooo....I will have my sister cancel the ADR she made for us. So glad it all worked out!

CONGRATS on the ADRs!

Is anyone else watching the show? Not sure how good the show will be but I wanted to share this video. I had no idea what a flash mob was when I first found this video and was, of course, crying not 30 seconds in! Not only do I LOVE Julie Andrew's amazing voice and the Sound of Music in general, I get such a warm, fuzzy feeling when a group of people come together and are all happy! Kind of why I can cry looking around at people's faces as they watch Wishes. Anyway, here it is...

For fun, I decided to youtube search "disney flash mob" and found this one that they did for Disneyland's 55th! Oh I would just LOVE them to do this for WDW's 40th!

These are so cool! I would love to see one at WDW too.

Uh Oh! As much as Tom and I did not LOVE the cruise portion of our honeymoon, I can't help but feeling the itch now that I've just read the Magic will be sailing from New York, including Canada and a weekend "cruise to nowhere." This might be a problem......

I don't think I read your Honeymoon TR so now I'm curious as to why you didn't like the cruise portion.... we are booked on the 8-night including the 1 day park hopper! I cannot wait!!

I'm thinking a 2012 tri-state area DISmeet on the Magic sounds like a fantastic idea!

I love the way you think girl.

As was Tom...

Such cute pics! I snuck that same pic at Mary Poppins. I have a friend in town next weekend, she is going to see Spiderman, I'm very curious as to what she'll think of it. And don't you just love the pedestrian parts of Times Square now? They are sooooo helpful for pedestrian traffic! Plus, like you found, a great place to just sit and chill.

You are so cute! The shirts turned out great and yours fits perfectly! I'm sure you'll get lots of comments. And congrats on being able to run the 2-mile loop already! I so wish it was that easy for me.

Wow, Brook...you were WAY behind!

SO SO CUTE!!!!!!!

Isn't she? She is definitely working that cuteness because she's started to become a little bratty lately...

HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY!!! What incredible, thoughtful gifts!!! Love the music set, that is amazing! And for going to see Mary Poppins again! I love that show too, it's so incredible-you can feel the Disney magic during it!

Thanks!! It was such a nice surprise.

CONGRATS on the ADRs!

WOo Hoooo!!

These are so cool! I would love to see one at WDW too.

I wish they would announce something about what they are going to do that day. I am planning on being in MK later afternoon/night but I'm afraid I'm going to miss something in the morning!

I don't think I read your Honeymoon TR so now I'm curious as to why you didn't like the cruise portion.... we are booked on the 8-night including the 1 day park hopper! I cannot wait!!

WHAT?! Oh you must go back and read it! Ya know, with all your free time... Basically, we went from a week of "GO GO GO" in the parks and honestly, we were bored. Part of the problem is that I don't know how to relax. We did a lot of sitting around which is not fun for me. Maybe if we went with friends or family, it would be nice but Tom and I can stare at each other from home without spending $5000!

I love the way you think girl.

It was a good thought...maybe next time DCL is in town. We definitely should have a DISmeet though!

Such cute pics! I snuck that same pic at Mary Poppins. I have a friend in town next weekend, she is going to see Spiderman, I'm very curious as to what she'll think of it. And don't you just love the pedestrian parts of Times Square now? They are sooooo helpful for pedestrian traffic! Plus, like you found, a great place to just sit and chill.

I absolutely love the pedestrian area in Times Square! It really does help the foot traffic because as soon as you have to get back on the sidewalk again, it's craziness! It was so smart of them to do that because people want to look around and it's so hard to do that when you constantly have to watch where you're walking.

You are so cute! The shirts turned out great and yours fits perfectly! I'm sure you'll get lots of comments. And congrats on being able to run the 2-mile loop already! I so wish it was that easy for me.

Haha! Thanks Brook! It really is easier than it seems...I go sooooooo slowly though I'm definitely not going for time in this race! Just want to finish and get my medal! (Do I even get a medal? )

 

[Nermel9]

Those shirts are adorable, looks like it fits perfectly!! I can't believe you can run 2 miles already, yay!!

 

[PopArtGal]

Those are awesome shirts!!!

Can't wait to see pics of you doing more of your running pose

 

[Stefy]

The shirts turned out great, they look awesome! You will defo get some comments on them when you do the run

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I know, it's crazy! I just started watching what I'm eating again because I was out of control and as soon as I changed my eating habits and started running, I lost 4 pounds! It's amazing what can happen when you actually DO IT! That's the hard part, though!

Those are awesome shirts!!!

Can't wait to see pics of you doing more of your running pose

Thanks!!

Thanks Stefy! I hope we get some comments. I'd imagine that at least a few people would recognize that as the stand in Epcot. I'm actually thinking about wearing the shirt the day before the race when we'll be in Epcot for F&W.....

 

[Tinkerbellie16]

I super like the shirts! Yours came out great! You never know with the make your own stuff but that tank is perfect! Now I'm seriously considering getting some shirts for our family!

 

[ronnmel]

Love how the shirts turned out!

 

[photographymom517]

I'm finally all caught up again...I wish I was better at keeping up with my subs!

I love those shirts!!! I like how you put your picture on the back!!!

I love NYC so much! Your pictures there turned out great!

Happy belated birthday!!! I think I might have told you already but it never hurts to say it twice!!!

I love the picture of you with your Disney Dooney! LOL I have the large black Wonder tote -- the print with the Mickey silouettes. I really, really love the Sketch print though -- I actually bought one of the medium totes but wasn't totally in love with the straps so I returned it. The medium tote has the round straps & they just fall off my shoulder -- the large tote has the flat straps but when I looked at it at WDW, it was just too big. I've actually been stalking the Disney Store website since you posted about your Sketch -- but I haven't seen the Lucy style on there. I'm trying to decide whether I want to buy one if they have them in September at WDW or spend money on a bunch of little things instead. I am the cheapest person in the world -- except for when it comes to purses!!!! Leave it to me to post a reply all about a purse!

Anyway, I really think its awesome that you can run the 2 miles & I loved the shirts!!! I can't wait to read about the race! I've read about the races in the past but I've never actually "known" someone who ran in one before!!!

 

[jenneth79]

The shirts turned out great!!!

Awesome work getting the run in as well. Good thing you didn't wait until today, what with the ceaseless rain.

 

[Shannon84]

I don't know how your PTR escaped me for so long!!! I followed along with your last TR and am excited I found it!!

I love the D&B 40th anniversary bag, I hope I can find one when I go at the end of October, so cute!!

Those shirts you had made are awesome!! You guys are going to do great at the 5k and have lots of fun!! I did the Wine and Dine half marathon last year and it was a lot of fun, though I did not want to get up the next morning

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Yes, aren't they awesome? I was nervous, too, because you have a vision in your mind but it doesn't always turn out the way you want....

Love how the shirts turned out!

Thanks Mel!

I know what you mean about the Dooney straps on the medium tote! The Lucy is great because it's just one thick strap! It stays on nicely.

I don't know anyone who's done a disney race either!! I think it's the coolest thing! I'd love to do the 1/2 marathon but it's at night and there's just no time for sleeping in on a 40day trip! Plus, I have doubts I could ever run that far! The 5-K is perfect!

The shirts turned out great!!!

Awesome work getting the run in as well. Good thing you didn't wait until today, what with the ceaseless rain.

Ugh I know! We haven't gone in the past few days but I am determined to keep at it!

Yay! You found me! Oh I'm so jealous! I'd love to do the 1/2, but like you said, I just can't afford (time-wise) to be exhausted the next day!

 

[irishdancer86]

Hiiii Nikki!

Loved that little Dooney just peeking out of your Mary Poppins photos, are you using it a lot or trying to keep it 'good'?

I'm still suffering great inner turmoil about my decision, awaiting divine inspiration!

Would love to see Poppins on Broadway! how cool about Disney crusie line coming to New York, 2nd time lucky and it would just be so handy!

Love the running shirts, looking very slinky!

Hey Cathy! I use that Dooney bag all the time! I tried to switch it when it's raining but it unfortunately got a little rained on so the leather parts are not so perfect anymore. I was upset about it at first but it's kind of a relief to no be so worried about it getting messed up anymore

Next time you come to NYC, we'll go see a Disney musical together!

I've got a good memory Nikki and this is getting carefully stored into the future trips section! I'm hopefully taking my little sister to see the Lion King in the West End this summer, next best thing...NY just out of the budget at the mo...

Oh I would love it! Hope that future trips is sooner than later!
Aww, I haven't seen the Lion King yet. That's a nice thing to do with your sister.

Just joining in! Love your shirts and your other TRs! I recently started with your honeymoon TR to get ready for my own and couldn't stop reading! There were so many times that I wanted to comment, but then I was like oh yeah it's been awhile... so I'm here and ready to chime in on your next WDW adventure

Also, I'm from CT originally (about an hour from NYC) and seeing your pics in NYC and at Newark make me miss home and the tri-state area! And I too grew up Disney and my DF was a WDW virgin until he met me

Oh I'm sooo glad you joined! Too bad you couldn't comment on the honeymoon TR. I really think that was my best one but hopefully this one will be as good! I always feel like the PTR part is boring but once I get back..it's on!!
