Pre Trip for Perrin: MAW WDW/GKTW for Star Wars Weekend!! June 2-9 2011!

[Perrinsmommy]

So glad you like the shirts!!! My kids wanted to keep them luckily I explained why we were making them and they thought it was so cool other Star Wars fans were getting them
Somehow the fact that other kids names were on them didn't make it on their radar
Hope you have a wonderful trip!!!!! Full of pixie dust!

Haha That's awesome! My kids wouldn't let a little thing as the wrong names bother them! We LOVE the shirts. It's the first thing Alek grabs in the morning!

As we wind down to our trip, we are in the single digits!! I have uploaded the pics of our big gives from the past few days. I just have to go downstairs and get the names off the packages! Will post them soon!

 

[Perrinsmommy]

I don't know if you want your last name on here and there wasn't a note or Disname

Perrin loves his Star Wars Shirt!! Thanks so much!!

A beautiful Minnie dress for Julianna from Colleen. She loves it and the fact she has a bow to match! Thanks so much!!

Super cute Monsters Inc outfits for the munchkins! Thanks Shannon! They love them!!

Everything that we have received has been WONDERFUL! I just got around to getting to the mailbox today and we had 4 boxes waiting for us!!! I also got the spiderman outfits that nicole made! So cute! All the kids were so excited! Juju wants to wear hers to her last day of school tomorrow!! I will post pics and everything tomorrow. Mommy spent the day running around town getting stuff for the trip and trying to find a protection case for P's new Ipod Touch ( he got it from Emerson!) I will post the details from his party tomorrow too! I can't believe school is out! And no, I haven't started packing yet! At least I have my packing list made and everything bought, stroller reserved *everyone should go through Orlando Stroller Rentals* They are WONDERFUL!, Julianna's GPS locator has been rented. Hopefully I will pack this weekend!

Hi there! If you don't mind my asking, did you rent your stroller through MAW or personally (as an out-of-pocket expense)? Our wish grantors told me they would take care of the stroller situation, but I don't know if they'll be using park strollers or a rental company. I hear the Disney ones don't recline and I'd really like a reclining one--my kids will be 4 and 1.5 years when we go, so I'm hoping my youngest will do some napping throughout the day. These ones look awesome, so just wondering if I should be recommending this company instead? I hate to sound picky to them (or seem as if I am looking a gift horse in the mouth!) but I'd really like a double stroller with the possibility of reclining. And, I don't mind paying out of pocket if that's the case!

We used money out of his expense check so essentially it was out of pocket. I just didn't want to use the Disney stroller because of it not reclining and being too hard. I have a 2 year old who I know will nap during the day and Perrin has CP so his legs get tired. Honestly, I didn't want to bring my double stroller from home and have to get a single one from disney and push that around all day too. Convenience won out, well, that and begging from Mommy!

If you didn't find a case for the ipod Touch yet - My DS got an ipod touch for Christmas and I drove myself NUTS looking for a case so he wouldn't break it ... I found the BEST cases at Walmart - the Incipio brand HIVE case and it's AWESOME! I think it cost me $20 but WELL worth it! I also found NERF speaker cases at Walmart ... they're awesome for the car, plane, whatever and turn the ipod into a little "Wheel" looking thing ... they have a headphone jack ...

I know what it's like to drive yourself crazy looking for a case so wanted to save you some time if you hadn't found one yet!

My DS's ipod Touch has been dropped repeatedly and it's still a-ok thanks to that Hive case

Thanks for the info Marianne! I ended up picking the Otterbox from Amazon for $23. What's 23 dollars for a expensive "toy" that I didn't pay for? I also need to buy the extended protection plan when we get back. I had it for my Macbook and if anything ever broke they fixed it immediately. We haven't dropped the ipod yet *Knocks on wood* but it does give him something more substantial to hold onto.

So here are some of the big gives! Sorry it's taken so long to put these up. I am trying to get into the groove of having all the kids home all at once for an extended period of time!

Alek's Mickey outfit is from disname dreamerandwisher

He LOVED it! He just kept saying Mickey, Mickey!

Next we have AWESOME Tie Dye! The kids loved them, though I couldn't get Alek to try his on! He was stuck on the Stormtrooper/Mickey ears shirt! These are from Disname magicmomma! Mommy and Daddy got matching ones too! Thank you! Can't wait to wear them!

 

[Perrinsmommy]

Next up are Family wish shirts and Mommy's Leia Minnie! These are from Chiara (Disname Cogero) Thank you so much! We loved the shirts!

Then we have some TOTALLY awesome Spiderman outfits from Nicole Disname ireland_nicole. Julianna loved her skirt and Perrin and Alek just loved their outfits! Alek just kept saying Spidey! He LOVES Spidey! Thanks Nicole!

 

[Perrinsmommy]

I do have some more pics to post, like some super sweet Jedi Robes, Yes you heard me, JEDI ROBES!! WHOO HOO! The kids were so excited to open those. They are on my memory card and I am actively looking for my memory card reader. I will get those up ASAP!

 

[mommy2mrb]

so cute! love the new outfits!!!

wow, you are so close to leaving, hope packing is going well!!!

 

[mphalens]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! All of the outfits and shirts look fabulous!!!

Glad you were able to get an Otterbox! I have one for my iPhone and when I got an iPad for my birthday I ordered one immediately! They didn't have an Otterbox yet for the iPod Touch 4 at Christmas time so I went crazy figuring out a case that would stand up to my kids!

You guys leave so soon!!! I hope you have a fabulous trip full of pixie dust!!!

 

[Tonyababyrn]

Just a few more days!!!

Hope we can see each other at GKTW Wed night before yall leave on Thursday.

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I am so glad the outfit made it to you in time! Only 2 more days till your trip, are you too excited to sleep? We are getting really excited for our upcoming trip too, maybe we will see you in the parks!

Hope you guys have a lot of fun!

I'm sure you must be pretty busy doing last-minute packing and running errands, but in case you have a moment to check in, I just wanted to wish you and your family a wonderful trip! May the magic of Disney surround you from start to finish!

Can't wait to hear all about Perrin's Star Wars fun when you come back....
