cool outfits

 

[DisGal520]

Hi! Mick here.

My mom spent last week making me clothes for our WDW trip in October. She's not completly finished making things for me yet, but I wanted to show these off to you.

First, here I am in my Chef Mickey's outfit. We're going to eat there for dinner our first night at the World, and I wanted to make sure that I was properly dressed for the occasion. (The pants are made of black linen. Good thing she has a scrap fabric box around the house to get nice fabrics from so I could look my best for when I meet Mickey.)

Next, she decided that I would need something to sleep in, so she made these cozy jammies for me. She bought the bunny slippers at Target.

We're also eating at the 50's Prime Time Diner, so I wanted something cool to wear. Mom bought the Van's shoes while she was in California this summer. She made the t-shirt out of an old tee. She made it so the back completely opens up, and it fastens together with velcro. It makes getting in and out if it a lot easier than trying to get it over my head.

She also finally got around to getting me a National's baseball hat to go with my t-shirt. I had to model it for you, of course!

Now, that outfit is for dad. THIS is the true baseball team, according to mom. GO Dodgers!

When we visit Epcot I wanted to make sure that I am ready with my passport to get it stamped in the WS pavilions. Mom made my tee from an old t-shirt, and the sandals are from Target. (What would we do without Target?, mom always says!) The passport is made by Jolee's and she got the visor at Michaels.

Here's a close-up of my passport. Mom used velcro at the top of the ribbon so it would be easy to take on and off.:

It's a quick change to taking off my passport and lime-green DIS visor and putting on my sunglasses and pin lanyard.

Here's a close-up of the lanyard. Mom used grosgrain ribbon to make this. She purchased clip hooks and split rings from the jewelry-making section of the craft store and sewed them on to the ribbon, adding a snap at the top. Then she scanned the tag at the bottom of her own pin lanyard, reduced it and laminated it and hung it on the clip hook. She's going to get a flat add-a-charm when we're at WDW to put on the hook for a decoration, just like the medallions big people can get.

Okay - this outfit embarasses me. She says I might want it for when we eat dinner at the Kona Cafe. I don't think so. I think that I look like Minnie, don't you?

I look a whole lot better without the stuff! Mom couldn't find Hawaiian print fabric for my shirt, so she used the next best thing - batik!

The cargo shorts have nifty pockets on them - and all of my pants have a hole for my tail to go through, too!

The last thing she bought for me (so far!) is my new backpack from Build a Bear. It will hold lots of souvenirs, too.

Mom also told me that she will get me a rain poncho, Mickey Mouse and safari outfits, and a Pirate outfit for MNSSHP when we get to WDW. She made the cargo shorts for the safari outfit and these cool pants for the Pirate outfit:

The only problem is that she has lost my carrying lanyard. "It's somewhere around this messy house," mom says. I guess that she'll have to clean every room untitl she finds it.

That's it for now. She told me to tell you that you can ask her any questions about my outfits if you want.

Bye!

dear guiltymom - uhhhh I mean Mick,

Your mom has done great! I told my PM that his passport idea was being shared. He said to make sure you visit all the kidkot stations to get it stamped. At the China Pavillion kidkot, ask for your birth year sign to be stamped also. My PM's was 2004 year of the monkey. You are going to love doing this.

We look forward to pictures!

DisGal -

Was the passport your original find? After reading the whole thread and making notes, I forgot who had shared that for the first time, but I loved it from the start. It's a wonderful idea. I did have a heck of a time finding it, though. Michaels has so many asiles of stickers that I was getting cross-eyed looking for it! But eventually I found it.

And thanks for the passport tips, especially the one about China. I also thought that I'd ask for the CM's to write his name in their specific language, too.

Wouldn't you know - I had that date in front of me and I wrote it down wrong. Figures!

Thanks for letting me know. I'll go and fix it.

 

[DisGal520]

Actually our Pal Mickey's 'birthdate' is August 8, 2004. This is because we used the date we adopted him at the AllStar Movies Resort Gift Shop.

He got to ride out Hurricane Charley at WDW that week with us!

Our pal mickey just joined our family last week. We found him on ebay and he is the 50th ann edition with the black jacket. He'll be our companion on our trip in 20 days.

My kids (5,7) and I are all looking forward to seeing what he has to tell us while we are there. Any tips on special places to take him or ways to make this expereince even more fun? I'm already planning to head to Michael's and pick up some clothes for him....

Thanks!

Amygirl-

Welcome to the "family". He's a lot of fun! Michaels has a great visor, and a terrific little back pack for PM.

The Raincoat at Disney is a fun outfit as is the Pirate one. At Christmas they have an adorable Santa suit too.

If you sew, you can take American Girl doll patterns and shrink them in a photo copier to fit your Pal. That worked really well for me with just a little more tweaking. (legs shortened, sleeves widened, etc)

Also, Target has the infant sized crocs, and those are wonderful because they weigh like nothing - so it doesn't add weight to the little guy. Nothing like the little one wearing heavy sneakers that slap against your body all day long. I have some adorable shoes for mine, but it only took one day of his wearing them for me to say never again! Now, he wears his crocs in the parks almost exclusively. (and it never fails to get at least 10 comments a day)

My little PM "collects" mini pins and has his own lanyards too. That also keeps it fresh and fun. He almost never sits out a day in the room.

Enjoy!

 

[DisGal520]

For those of you who don't know him - "Scoop Sanderson" is a character who frequents Main Street USA and is THE pin guy in MK. He used to have "Scoop's Pin Talks" during the week, but they are on hiatus...no one knows if they will come back or not.

Anyhoo, I loved going to his talks and hearing about upcoming pins, etc. Since my PAL loves to pin trade too (and has a good collection of mini pins), he wanted to be a "groupie". So I made this outfit so he could be just like his "idol"! He'll wear it proudly at the September Pin Event, along with his lanyard.

As usual, comments are always welcome!

Mrs Potato Head - please look for a PM from me.
thanks

How'd you get on the Light?

Sitting on the table of the nice person who left us sit on their porch, so we didn't drown. Notice the sticker on the umbrella

Pardon the fact that I am absolutely drenched; Mickey stayed nice and dry as he hid in my bag

 

[tinker1bell]

Becky,

Looks like your PM and Stitch had a great time

 

[quiltymom]

Thanks for posting the pics! What fun you must've had.

 

[bear74]

Becky love the Pictures.

Thanks for the comments about the pictures. It was truly an awesome trip. If you want to read about my trip check out the link in my signature or click here.

It looks like you, Stitch and Mickey had a great trip. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Nicky is going to Disney with Chuck, I & a bunch of the crazy DDA ladies (& some of their husbands) so I'll have pictures to share in a couple of weeks.

 

[quiltymom]

We take off a week from today (I don't know if I'm excited or still in a planning panic!), but I'll be sure to post photos when we return.

Cool, we'll be at POR at the same time. We are at POR 10/18-22.

 

[Mrs Potato Head]

My sister and I will be there 10/15-10/19! Anyone else going to MNSSHP on 10/16? What will your PAL be dressed as? I'm trying to make a Mr. Potato Head costume, but so far it looks...well, like a brown lump. Not exactly what I wanted...

Back to square one...

If you want a cute pumpkin hat for him, Target has one in their "dollar" section. It is indeed $1. A tad big on his head, but still cute. There are matching orange pumpkin mitts , also for $1. They fit nicely over Pal's hands. Also they fit his feet. I did see one white pair of 'Boo' mitts also.

So this may go with any pumpkin costume or ghostie you make him.


Hope you have a great time!
