Princess Gabby's Surprise First Trip to "Where the Princesses Live"

Shirts came out GREAT! :cheer2: You did an AWESOME job! Hoping to make matching shirts for the 3 of us to wear at least one day on our trip. I tried to make the tie dye Mickey shirts last year and they turned out HORRIBLE. :eek: Try, try again!

I would say $20 for the welcome gift cards. That should be enough to get a nice souvie! :)

Good luck with pricing out the tickets. Not sure how the GAD works. :confused3 I'm sure someone on the boards can help figure that out.
 
The shirts look amazing, I'm so impressed with how they turned out!

I don't know how the GAD stuff works, but I'm sure someone can help you out!

I think it makes sense to upgrade on Friday so you're not wasting time on Saturday. And extra day is really like $3, and it's just worth that for your time.

I would say $10-15 is plenty, you can get tons of stuff at the parks for that much.

Hi!

Haven't been online in a while since I am vacationing in Northern California. I had a lot of catcing up to do.

I wanted to drop in and say that I love the t-shirts. They turned out so cute. Good luck getting everything crossed off your list. The trip is so close now. I know you will have a fantastic trip.
 

Hey Pam.. i was wondering where you were!!

Well guys I am telling Gabby this weekend..hopefully I will get it on tape and post it for you guys. We are going to see Despicable Me and clothes shopping for the trip.. have a great weekend
 
I cannot believe you haven't told her yet! The restraint! I can't wait to hear how it goes!
 
I absolutely love the shirts!! They're so adorable! I showed my neices the shirts and they asked me where were their shirts?? :confused3 I told them sorry, but auntie just isn't that creative. LOL.

But I did by myself that studded Mickey mouse tank from the disneystore.com. I guess I'll be looking online to buy them a shirt tonight to make up for it.

AWWW it is easier than you think..you just get a design, print it on iron on paper and then iron it on! I know you can do it

Oooh I can't wait!!!:cool1:

So we did the trip reveal to Gabby this weekend. We had been at the mall all day because we went to an early movie and looked for trip clothes for she and her dad.

When we came home there was a note tapped to the door saying a package had been left on the back porch. We went to get it and she saw it was red box and was excited that it was for her..
When she opend the box a princess balloon came out with an enevelope attached. She read the invite and I don't really think it was clicking to what it was saying...so I explained it a bit to her..then it clicked..
I think she was a bit tired so I didn't get the whole scream and jumping that I was expecting, I admit I was a bit disapointed...

She went through the box and looked through all the things that were in there and then it started to sink in...
She kept saying "Mommy you did all this for me Mommy you made this for me" " This is so nice" " Soo this is what you have been doing in the office, I thoughtyou were doing work" "Thank you mommy"

She went through all of the things in box and sat and just looked through her autograph book looking at all the charachters, saying how nice it was..running to show her dad and me..

That touched me and made up for any screaming and jumping that was not made..I knew she was excited and more importantly appreciated when I had done...

We went to my Aunts house later and she told everyone she was going to Disney and told them about the stuff I made..

Before she went to sleep, she said "we go to disney in 13 days right?(I made her a countdown calendar)I am so excited"

That made me very happy
 
The reveal brought tears to my eyes. I know that you were initially disappointed that you didn't get all the jumping and screaming but those sweet appreciative words of your little princess made up for it! Those are the memories that last a lifetime.

Now, you can share all of your trip details and the excitement with Gabby!
 
Aww, that's so sweet. I was so sad when I read that she didn't get super excited (DS would totally be like that, but he would just stop there) but she sure made up for it...it sounds like she appreciated it all so much! What a sweet little girl! I can't wait for her to get to experience disney!
 
Awwwwwww, she sounds like such a sweetie pie! She's going to have a great time! Awesome reveal by the way. I love the balloon popping out of the box (brought a tear to my eye.........yes, I'm a sap)! :)

I will admit because I am human I was disapointed because I had the whole scenerio played out in my head..BUT I will def. take her appreciative words and the love of her items over anything I had pre conceived...It really made me feel wonderful!!!

Hi there! I was so excited to read that you told your daughter about the trip. It is so close now and I bet she really loves the countdown calendar you made her.

I hope you guys have a great time and I look forward to reading your trip report when you get back.

P.S. Saw your to do list and packing list. I read on the boards that it is helpful to take a small power strip to plug all your chargers into. I plan on taking one on my next trip because the outlets are never in an easy to reach spot. You may have already thought of that, but I have never and really appreciated the tip I read on one of the planning boards.

I've seen pictures of lots of little girls dressing up to eat in the castle. But, I've also seen pictures of them just wearing a cute princess t-shirt. Does your local WalMart, Target or Toys R Us have Disney dress up stuff? I know our's do.
