THE FOOD

Ok so this is always a big part of the trip for me and now that i am a shareholder my discount will make it even more enjoyable . We had thought about getting half board vouchers but in the end i got shares instead. Also it will be our first time going into salon mickey so i am pretty excited about that too

So far i only have an idea of where i would like to eat. we have six days so i am hoping to fit one ts meal in each.So i have to choose from

Definates
Auberge
Cafe Mickey
Rainforest

Maybe
The Silver Spur
The Steakhouse
Restaraunt des Stars
Blue Lagoon
Walts

I really cant choose between the final five and i definately cant eat twice a day. So i am not too sure what to do about that lol.

The plan

Ok so also joining us on this trip is my aunt and my cousin. They have been twice before as well and only at christmas, although amazingly they havent seen half of it yet. How lucky are they that they have me as a tour guide . Emma and kyra are also going for the first four days of this trip and slumming it at the santa fe with us ( really its not that bad ). So i wont be short of company and we should have a good laugh.

The main things i want to cover this trip are
All the christmas festivities
The MMP show
Minnies toon train
Fantillusion
Playhouse disney
Character hunting
BTM ( if i am brave enough)

ok so i will have to upload more pics of ash. i will have to get out her dresses closer to the time to see which ones fit her by now. So far we are bringing belle, ariel ballgown, snow white, minnie and mulan

So ashleigh found the cupboard where i hide all her dresses and wanted to try them on of course. She has been a bit sick so i said ok as long as i can take pics Please ignore the dodgy vest and pjs i didnt want her to get cold. I am a bit dissapointed as her ariel and belle dresses have gone a bit short. She hasnt had the chance to wear them yet. She still needs to grow a bit to fit into a few so i dont know if i want her to grow to fit into them so stay as she is so the ariel and belle dont look rediculous lol.

 

[IsobelJackmummy]

How cute! she looks gorgeous!

 

[Mum to Belle]

She is such a cutie!! What gorgeous dresses!! She looks fab - the Ariel & Belle ones don't look ridiculous at all!

i cut off the ends so you cant really see how short they are

i plan on putting her in vests and tshirts and tights and leggings with the dresses over them. so hopefully it wont looks as bad as over a jeans.

 

[buttercup1982]

Aww bless, she is absolutely beautiful!! I really envy you! Would love to go for the christmas season! Looking forward to your TR

That's my plan too! Should also help to minimise itching from some of the sparkly edge bits - IYKWIM!!

yes definately. the dresses i have for ash ( the glittery ones) would be really uncomfortable without anything under them. especially at the arms.

i just have to find some nice coats for us now. i bought ski jackets for feb. to be honest i am hoping it wont be cold enough for them . it would have to be freezing to wear them as it was snowing in feb and i was sweating in the coat. im all for layers so i just need something lighter but wind and waterproof. im not sure what to get for ash. her winter coats are quite bulky. i dont think she would be comfortable in one of them for a long time

 

[Booknut]

aww bless, she's so lovely and sweet I can't wait to dress up my little girl too! I especially love the second Ariel blue dress photo

 

[mommy2ash]

thank you, i love that dress too. i dont know who is worse me or ash lol. i cant help it i love the princess dresses, it wont be too long before she will be too grown up to dress up so i will milk it for all its worth while i still can lol.

are you bringing a dress for your trip. you have snow white isnt it?

 

[Booknut]

are you bringing a dress for your trip. you have snow white isnt it?

Not sure, to be honest Matilda isn't that comfortable in it, it has lots of crinoline underneath so isn't the most comfortable, she's very active and loves running around etc, she's more Stitch than Snow White at the moment Your daughter really loves those dresses, you can tell!

yeah its better for them to be comfortable. ash loves them lol she even wore belle into town one day and was delighted with all the looks she got i was mortified as i hate drawing attention to myself lol

 

[ema74]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! I love her dresses, no wonder she's so proud

[Tillybud]
