Hey I found you on mrsksomeday's PTR and thought I would come check it out. I am staying at the Poly Dec 4-11 so maybe we will run into eachother

Looking forward to hearing your plans

 

[mrsksomeday]

I am here too, you are off to a great start. You will have to tell us all about the Poly!

 

[AmberHeartsDisney]

We loved the Poly sooooooooooo soooooooo much! It was my first time staying onsite. We stayed at the Fiji building which is near the main building and close to the monorail and also the drink station for are refillable mugs . I know we can stay someplace cheaper but we liked the poly and i think its ok to treat our selfs!!

Ill be adding more once i figure out what we are doing haha

Hey friends! Look here! http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2465999

What are pook a looz you ask? Pook a Looz are one of Disney newest, cutest collectible.

I wanted to collect something Disney and i couldn't figure out what, i wanted to start with snow globes but that got costly! So these new little stuffed toys run from $10-12.50. Which is prefect for me to budget in a few here or there!

So that is why i named my PRT Poly & Pookalooz

 

[Tinkermom76]

those are cute... are they only sold at Disney? I have never seen them before

 

[mrsksomeday]

They are adorable, I like the Muppets ones.

Disney shopping has them, toy r us. and Disney World & Disneyland,

they are releasing special ones that are ONLY to be sold at DWD or DL tho

 

[AmberHeartsDisney]

I'd like to mention i dont sleep with these haha i took them out of my storage boxes to take a picture

 

[AmberHeartsDisney]

ADR'S have been made!

 

[AmberHeartsDisney]

Only 145 days until we get to go back to Disney!

It truly feels like a dream! Since last year we won our trip we didnt get any of the magic mail they send out so i am soooo looking forward to the day that comes in the mail.I know i have plenty of time left but i keep looking at the calendar like i am leaving tomorrow.

We already have our airfare set. We are going to look in to a rent a car, it we can get one cheap i think we will get one.

Right now we have quick service booked and i am thinking about maybe upgrading, ill have to look in to what is the best value. We used 40% off pincode so no free dining for us! hmm i got a lot to think about!!

 

[PetersonFamily]

We will be there 11/28 - 12/3 and are planning on being at HS on 12/1 also!

Awesome~! I am going to be on the hunt for carrot cake cookies that day hahah

 

[AmberHeartsDisney]

68 DAYS until we are back at WDW!!

Since i have last posted we did make a few changes to our dining, We really wanted to try Via Napoli so when the ADR's open for that we made a reservation and we also booked a dessert party.Now i know a lot of people say its not worth it but i like to try everything at least once. We did MVMCP last year. So i don't think we will do that for this year since we are doing a tour and the wishes dessert party.

68 days

 

[AmberHeartsDisney]

We are now 46 days away from our trip! A few days ago we made some changes to are travel plans..........

We had a package room/tickets/dining but once we started planning our honeymoon for next year it made way more sense to get AP's. So we canceled our tickets and dropped the dining. AP holders here we come!!!

It happen to work out since our trip next year is 11-12-11 so we have some extra time to use the aps before they expire


other then that no new updates on the trip but i am going to get my hair done in "honor" of a stress free vacation.

I have VERY thick hair and boy does it take a lot of time to do. I have a flat iron but it still is very time consuming! I have been looking in to a process called "keratin hair treatment" it suppose to help with the fullness and frizzys your hair can get. My co worker got it and i was AMAZED at the difference.. but shocked at the price!! She paid 250 just for the treatment no including the special shampoo and conditioner that is needed to make the treatment last longer (3-5 months IF you follow all the directions)


Now being the thrifty person i am i did some searching and found i could buy the same stuff they use but i can do it my self (well with the help of my wonderful friend Stacy because sadly i cant see the back of my head) I am going to do my first treatment in a week or so.

If you wonder what product i am using its called "Keratin Complex by Coppola"

Now ,This product should be applied by a professional stylist which i am not so i cant really give you any advice but Ive read many reviews on Folica and i feel comfortable enough to do it

I am so excited for stress free hair in Disney!!

ill be sure to post pictures later in the week!

I'm here!!

As you probably noticed by my photos, I have very thick curly hair that gets very frizzy at Disney. I recently for August, didn't even try to tame it, I just pulled it back and sometimes wore my DVC cap. I have over the years tried the relaxers made for black people. Works pretty well. Now that I'm older, I use alot of products on my hair rather than straighten it. I've been using the Deva curl products. They're very expensive and I get them at my new hairdresser's. I think the only thing that would tame my hair while at Disney would be to have it corn-rowed before I go. The Bo Derrick movie "10" will become popular again??? !! right??!

You should look in to the treatment i am doing. It might work on your hair, it depends on how you style it.

This might even work for you.... http://www.folica.com/hair-care/keratin-treatments/keratin-complex-intense-rx-ionic-keratin-restructuring-serum

I've been wearing it just curly for the last year or so. I'm getting too old to keep fooling with my hair!
