****OFFICIAL August, 2012 (PART 2)****

[youcansmellit]

Thank you!!!

I went to Michael's and bought the June Tailor print 'n press iron-on transfer sheets 10pack. They are the ones you have to print mirror image and good for light or white shirts. I am super happy they came out this time because it was my last time. It was a do or die moment. I have had these imagined in my head for months and would have been sad if I couldn't get them to come out like they were in my head. These are what I was imagining. Yipee!!!

Thanks, I will have to try them. I have a design all set. I was going to take it to get screened on but that's big bucks.

I got the yudu silk screener years ago. It is the worst. Everything is expensive for it and it doesn't work good at all.
A couple years ago I made a British innovation (The band that played in UK at epcot) shirt with tour dates on the back (the times for each day of our trip) I tossed them all out and wasted about $100 with shirts and screens. I can't use that design ever again.

 

[youcansmellit]

I hope you are scoping out some good ideas! We will have family shirts if it's the last thing we do in these 22 days!!

I should be doing my paper right now, but you can see that I am distracted.

That's OK I should be working.

That stinks. I spent a little more on these that I wanted to, what with my mistakes and all. But if I was allowed to order them with the others I ordered, it would have cost me about $75 (shipping may have been free at that price or $8 more). I spent, when everything was added up $80. If I hadn't goofed, it would have only been $40ish. So all in all, it was worth it!

I think I can use the 40% michaels coupons. I will have everyone in the family go though and buy their own shirt with a coupon. hahaha

11 days to go! I am going to the Poconos today for a girls only weekend and tomorrow is my 10 day check in day. I was trying to teach DH howw to do it online....might be hopeless! I won't have access to a computer while I am there. I also noticed that in my request at SSR, they had the wrong section for us. TIme to make a phone call I guess!

jm106.. that picture is absolutely adorable. How old was he? I have a pic of my son from our first trip in 2008 when he was 4 that literally melts my heart. Have that one framed.. in a few years you are going to love it even more than you do now. I realize "they grow so fast" is a total cliche but they really really do.

Yikes.. I think I just talked myself into photopass. It bugs the heck out of me to spend that much when I can take my own pictures for free. But you know what? I NEVER do. I get maybe 10 pictures the entire trip and then forget about it. I know I'll wish I had in a few years.

He was celebrating his 3rd birthday. Thanks, true how fast it's gone already.
I wanted to get into a photo pass share but never did so I'll just buy a few abd use my camera. Last year I took 400 pictures!

Im leaving NOW! have fun, I'll check in

Im leaving NOW! have fun, I'll check in

I don't know how I've missed this thread!! I've been on the other, "non-official" August thread. We're leaving at 3am, so just 19 hours to go

Looks like you're staying at AKL - we'll be there on Monday night (after a 2-night stay at RPR Universal). Maybe we'll see you around the pool

Mornin' Team I just wanted to say Happy Travels to any of our team members who are starting their WDW trips this weekend! I wish you a wonderfully magical time!

My husband doesn't know how much i paid for photopass + yet or ever that i have it, i just mentioned wanting it. We have the character breakfasts & will want ride photos so that sealed the deal.

I have never paid so much for pics before but i know i will not bring out my camera as much as i want to. I lose a lot of the experience if i am just taking pics.

OMG, I have to share with you all this.
My husband just told me he is getting me a Tiffany Ring for our 5 yrs anniversary (well, I questioned him when I see the hug drop in bank account and I had been freaking out saving for our annual pass upgrade)
I dont know how to say this is a BIG BIG BIG deal for us since we are one income family of 5. I NEVER would dream getting something like that. We never even had our honeymoon or a big fancy wedding (Las Vegas with 10 family members and a buffet afterward)
I had been planning this trip for almost a year now with a lot of crunching and I never thought DH can pull something like that without me knowing it.
So Magical already...hehehe

How sweet!!!!!

Those shirts are amazing!!!

I am totally doing this right now...looking into switching from ASMu to CBR (Pirate Room). My boys would love it sooooooo much, but it's another $200...ugh, what to do!

Thanks for your thoughts!!

I should have added that we're only at ASMu for three nights (sorry, I got a little excited and didn't add all my details!), then we switch to POR. So, I'm not sure I want to spend $200 for only three nights. Maybe I will just save the money and do the Pirate League?

I was going to say go for it (since I love CBR), but $200 for 3 nights does not seem worth it to me, especially since you are moving to a moderate anyways.

Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow !!!!!!!!

I totally understand. I knew I wanted to get the regular photo pass but couldn't see spending for the plus. Well I read more about the plus and bought it last night before I could have second thoughts.

 

[pigletto]

The problem with me and photo pass is that I literally hate almost every picture of me. How ridiculous is it to miss moments with the kids, and to pass on memories though because I think I look bad in a picture? It's stupid.

I'll talk to hubby about it today. I think I will stick to the regular because we're only doing one character meal so that would be bit of a waste for us. Or maybe go for the Photopass Plus and build it into the cost of the February trip!!

That's actually a better idea. I won't be cutting into spending money for this trip if I wait until February and we're bringing dd's friend this time. Of course we'd like some pictures with her..but I think I'd prefer to pay all that money upfront for pictures of just our family. Does that sound awful? I hope not.

It just seems like a better idea in many ways to wait.

 

[NightAngelX]

I pray I won't have to use the information I am asking for but I have a question.

If I need to postpone our trip, what type of penalty fee will I have to pay? According to allears I can change it for $50 or cancel for $200. Is that right?

Thing is my husband has been doing really bad recently. He was a few days late on his shot because Walgreens didn't have it and we forgot to reorder it until the day before he needed it which was a Friday so he had to wait til Monday for it. So one would think a few days late wouldn't matter, right? Well since then his arthritis has flared, his skin has flared (He has erythrodermic psoriasis on 90%+ of skin and psoriatic arthritis). We're doing wet wraps every night and he's trying to take it easy. He will have another shot that he is going to take on the 14th which is 'early' by a day or two but would actually be on time if he wasn't late last month. So he's hoping taking it a day or two early he will know how he will feel. Usually he feels pretty good for two weeks after his shot but since he was late this last time he didn't have his two weeks of feeling good. The last two weeks of the month he usually has good days and bad but progressively gets worse. We actually picked the dates we did because we knew it would be in that 2 week window of him feeling good.

However, if for some reason the shot doesn't do its thing and he feels the same after his shot we will need to reschedule. He doesn't want to but I don't want to have to do wet wraps at Disney and deal with him feeling bad on top of the heat. I personally think we should go when its cooler anyway because of his skin, but he wants to go now (and so do I but I can wait if it means he's feeling bad). If we don't go this month we will have to wait til November because I'm due to start IVF again in Sept/October. And if IVF works I will be pregnant so I'm not sure how that changes things either for the trip.

We also won't know for sure until a few days before our check in so I just want to make sure we can reschedule without having to pay for the entire trip.

Again I hope we don't have to reschedule but knowing we can will help put my mind at ease.

Thanks.

Ok, let me try to catch up a bit...

ARRRGH! 24 hours and I have to work tomorrow!!!! I know I am forgetting something I need to be doing! PANIC!!!!!!!!

I will be bouncing off the walls at my 24 hour point lol

Congrats! That's so romantic!

Those look great! I can't wait until I start making some for next year! Wish I could this year but that would bring about to many questions right now lol.

9 of my in-laws are coming tomorrow to stay for the weekend to make last minute Disney plans. Wish me luck, sanity and a never empty glass of wine!
Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

Oh my goodness, good luck with them!

I need to try and sleep but how can I when I am going to Disney world in 8 hours My kids went right out. I want to be sure I am up with video camera in hand to record their excitement when I wake them on Disney Day!!

I cant wait for them to see Mickey but I dont think anything will match yds last year- we went to MK, right to M&G by tonys. No line, we went in and before I could get my camera on, yds eyes got huge and a smile spread on his little face and he waved and yelled
"Hey... Minnie, its ME Shane!"
This was the best shot I got, still waving then as he ran up to hug

Sleep would have been impossible for me! Have a great time!! Your son is SO adorable in that pic.

Thank you and everyone else that commented on my shirts. It makes me feel like I really accomplished something good. (I know, that is corny, but hey, that's me!) Speaking of corny, that is what my DH thinks of these shirts. He will wear his but only because he knows how much it means to me. He says they are silly and corny.

(on a side note: if you notice the parks and wording are in order of how the parks opened. I thought if I was going to put words on them, then the parks had to be in cronological order as well. I was channeling Walt at that moment and following through with the details.)

You should be proud, those shirts look great! I don't have any craft ability whatsoever unless it involves a computer so I have a feeling its going to take me a few tries to get it right lol. I also would be OCD about the details though

Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow !!!!!!!!

Oh I feel the same way. On our last trip I think I'm only in about 6 pictures out of the 300 or so that I kept throwing my kids into LOL
