Princess Brookelynn's 1st trip to DISNEY!!!

Oh my gosh, she is adorable and the shirts are fab! How nice of the teacher to make them for you guys.

Here's the DISigns I made, so you don't have to post them.

I am just happy you like them! :D
 
@MataHari22 I saw your post was closed. I hope everything is okay for you health wise.

I got an email from a webpage called artscow and I was able to upload my designs and order 4 of the shirts I wanted for only $40. I thought that was a great deal for 4 awesome shirts. I can't thank you enough for the DISigns:thanks:


I can't believe my trip is getting so close.

I promise I will get to all my plans soon. Life is just so crazy and I am walking around in a Disney daze.:crazy:

:wave: I am going to try this update again.

Before we begin a life update.

The kids are almost done with school. Only 25 whole days and 3 half days:cheer2:

Princess Brookelynn has turned 1princess: She is walking, growing, and still wonderful:cloud9:
She still loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, likes Frozen music, and has recently fallen in love with Monster's Inc
200.gif
She is watching it again for the 15 time this week. I am very sad that Mike and Sully are no longer at Hollywood Studios.

DH has back problems and has really been in a lot of pain lately so I am praying that it gets better before Disney.

I have fallen off track with my weight lose so planning to start back up full force on Monday.:drinking:

My parents and my sister & family are still going with us.

On to the updates
 

With the promotions that have been offered I was able to save a little over $1000.
I has a special Groupon deal for a Target gift card that was $10 for $20. So I used that gift card and bought a Disney gift card that saved me $10.
I used the points that I earned on Shopkick app (I got real slack since September about using it) and I used that for a target gift card for free so I got a $50 gift card for $30 that saved me $20
I got the rest of my gift card from Sams. For each bundle I saved $7.02 and I had to buy 47 bundles so I saved $329.94

That gave me a total savings with gift cards of $359.94!:yay::yo-yo::dogdance::banana::cool1::dancer:

Using the gift cards were a pain but I would go get 10-15 bundles per week and then come home and enter it in individually. Each bundle includes 3 gift cards and putting them in was very time consuming but for that savings totally worth it to me. I was able to work it off where I paid off my trip on Brookelynn's 1st birthday.

I had an entire speech ready to share with the cashier but the cashier didn't seem to be in a great mood so I didn't. :laughing:

So the trip is paid in full, I have made reservations for the dogs at the boarders, and booked reservations/FP+

I have almost all of DS outfits ready, all of princess: Brookelynn's, half of youngest DD, and all my shirts ordered. I just have to get the rest of the girls clothes and DH and some pants for me.

We are planning on leaving early that Friday morning and stopping for princess: Brookelynn's grandmother to have lunch with her in Florida. he moved awayin August and hasn't seen her since.

For the next updates I am going to just post plans day-by-day to keep my thoughts in order.
 
The week heading up to leaving will hopefully go as follows.

That Monday is Memorial Day
200.gif
so the kids have no school. I want to have all the suitcases packed and ready to be loaded in the van.
Sunday night through Wednesday night we are having Vacation Bible School at church I have volunteered to work and hope that I get the same preschool kids that I teach on Wednesday nights. :offtopic: but I can't wait to pick out little gifts to bring back to the kids in my class. I am thinking about little Disney Lego toys.

Thursday night we take the dogs and drop them off. :dog2::dog: I am trying not to think about that to much because that is the only part of the trip I am sad about.

Thankful that Tues-Thursday are half days so the kids can help me get last minutes things done.


*I forgot to mention earlier that I have already started packing our snack bags for the trip. Each person has a bag for each day. I have all the salty snacks because they were on sale at Sam's. The only thing I have to add is rice krispie treats and Frozen gummies. It is not letting me upload any pics so I will once it lets me again.

Had to close and reopen but was able to post my snacks. BTW that very outdated table is from work not my house. I think the table might be older than me HAHA
 
For Friday we will get up very very early and my goal is to hit the road by 5am. That should put us in Flagler beach around 11am to eat with Brookelynn's grandma. We can stay there a couple hours and then drive the last 2 hours to Disney. I want to let Brookelynn see the beach and try not to be so selfish that I rush but my mind will definitely be at Disney already.pixiedust:

This will be the kids
200.gif
and this will be me

:welcome: to Disney World!!!!

With all the what-if's with Disney and Frozen opening I am not positive what Friday night will be like.
*If Frozen Ever After is open we will head to Epcot after we check in and my only plans for that night is to ride the ride and meet Anna and Elsa. Regardless of how long the line is.

*If Frozen Ever After is not open hopefully Anne and Elsa will be available for Meet and greets at the Magic Kingdom and we will go wait in line there. Disney has really made things complicated with not giving us any dates and not letting us make FP for Anna and Elsa.

Then we will head to sleep and get ready for our first full day!

Those are the main plans. We plan rope drop everyday so that we can get in as many rides as possible with shorter lines. I have bought some things to make our trip easier and I will post photos when I start pulling it out the closet to pack.
