September 2011 - The Planning Has Started!!!

[MikellaCinderella]

to all of the new September travelers! I have all of you added to the first post.

YAY for all of the ADR's today!!! I can't believe that we are all getting into the 180 mark. Not too much longer for the rest of us who aren't quite to our ADR day yet!

So, what is this about Delta charging $25/bag each way?!?! We have not flown in a very LONG time. I need some info on this.

My back is still terrible. I'm going to the chiropractor later today and tomorrow. Something has to give because I can't even bend over. I was picking my 3 year old up a little bit ago and I dropped him. He was fine, but he just wouldn't put his legs down and I couldn't hold his weight anymore. Hopefully its way better tomorrow evening after the chiro a couple times.

Thank you for adding us to the list...but I guess I told you wrong. lol. We will be checking in at POP on Sept. 3rd.....I originally told you the 5th. Oops! Would you mind changing that for me please? Thank you!!

Hope your back is feeling better....I'm in the same boat right now. I'm SO overdue for a chiro visit!!

I am getting so anxious, I get to my my ADRs on Monday. I feel they need more sit down resturants in Magic Kingdom. I am going to try to get O'hana for dinner and breakfast. I really love breakfast and so badly wanted to try dinner, I hope its good.
So nobody make ADRS for O'hana dinner til I get mine. Thanks

They DEFINITELY need more TS meals at MK!! I agree!

Yes, I use heatbond lite to adhere them to the shirts first. And then I do a satin stitch around them. I also made these for my boys to wear on our first day. (I still have to make mine and my DH's)

Take my breath away! I love them, could you pm how you did those? I would love to try it. I will post what I did little right now all I have is my nook, so can't post any pictures.

Have you found that the fabric pulls away from the stitching? That's what was happening at the end of our trip with a few shirts. I may of needed to make the zig-zag stitch larger.

My favorite shirt I did was a mickey head in autism awarness puzzle fabric to honor my little man.

I have you changed on the first post! Yes, you do NOT want to forget those extra 2 days! My back isn't doing better. It will be for about half of a day or so and then I bend wrong and it hurts the same all over again. I went to the chiro on Wednesday and will be going back this afternoon. I suspect I'll be going a few times next week too. I'm going to be doing A LOT of walking this weekend to see if it helps stretch things out some.

Seriously CUTE! CUTE! CUTE! How much would you charge to make some for us? Actually... I'm not really kidding. How in the world did you do this?! I've very crafty, but nothing with fabric. I've been looking on Etsy for some shirts for our trip.

My ADR's are made!!! I got everything I wanted within 30 minutes of when I wanted. Most of them were right on. I think if you are on before the phone lines open, you'll be fine. Especially since we're going in a down season. If you are thinking about trying Le Cellier for lunch and were worried about a reservation.... don't worry! Just try it! I got the time I wanted and it offered other times around mine both ways within 15 minutes. I'm so excited!!! It feels more real now!

Heather, We will be there the same week as you. Don't take all the good ressie's...ok? We should be on at the same time making them. I can't wait, it's just one more thing that will be done for the planning phase. We have a party of 12 so I am hoping it is still easy to get the times we want. We are only specific for a couple days, other then that we are flexable. We just don't want dinner to late as we have 5 girls and one hungry teenage boy that we must feed..

It would be fun to do a DIS meet at the pool, however just like others, not sure where we would fit it in unless early morning or late evening after our waterpark and dinner days. It was a thought

L-Harper Thank you for keeping track of all this. It's nice to be able to keep each others excitement going.

I'm so happy you got everything you wanted! It always feels good when those are finally done!

I hope your back feels better soon!

I didn't get up until 6:30 (missed the alarm) and was fine. Make sure you are logged in. I went through an agent so I had to put in my confirmation number when I first logged in. It was super simple!

I'm so happy you got everything you wanted! It always feels good when those are finally done!

I hope your back feels better soon!

Thank you! It does feel awesome to have it done and even better that I got everything I wanted! I hope everyone has as much luck as I did.

I am going to have to experiment. I have enough extra fabric around here. Where can you buy heatbond? I assume Joanne's. What about Walmart?

WOW!!!!! Such talent! I am impressed! I love the colours that you chose for the T-shirts too. Your family pictures will look great...please post more pics of your 'handy' work

 

[skw444]

I love these! Great job. I wish I was that crafty. I need to start searching Ebay and Etsy for stuff for our trip.

Congrats!It's a great feeling knowing they are done. I also have never had a problem getting LeCellier for any time I have wanted and we have eaten there many times.

Those photo links are going to cost me money! Now I want several new lenses for my camera. My dh was already looking into renting a fish eye lense for our trip. Those photos are amazing!

Alright!

I spent last night writing up an itinerary for staying at Pop the entire time and one if we manage to do a split stay between Pop and Bonnet Creek. So I think I FINALLY know all of the reservations I need.

!

Yes, I get the heatbond lite at walmart. If you use the heavy stuff it will gum up your sewing machine.

I haven't had the fabric pull away from anything yet. I just made sure it was wide enough to come in on the fabric a way. And if you use fabric that is "textured" they don't fray as bad. I honestly just printed out a color sheet, enlarge the head of the character, traced it onto to heat bond, attached to the fabric, put it back together like a puzzle and then stitched around everything. It sounds like a lot but it wasn't too hard actually. I was very surprised.

Happy to read everyone is getting the ADr's they want..hope that keeps going for when we make ours! I have been so busy at work and I'm in the process of going back to school (online program) that I just got caught up on a week worth of posts for us September planners!
Welcome those who have just joined us and welcome to Dani's new princess! So precious!

We aren't married or have kids yet, but really reading about the fantastic time families have at Disney,,,and then getting to take my boyfriend's nephew two years ago really makes me want that! I know that there is alot more than making memories on vacation together that goes into a family- but its working toward something as a family and going through happy and sad times together that does make me want that eventually! That being said, I've just decided to go back to school to get my Master's Degree through an online program. Thats all the extra responsibility I'll be needing for awhile! Hope my professors are understanding that I'll be MIA a week during the fall semester!!

L-Harper, thanks for sharing those links! Great reads and great pics.
We just added hoppers and waterparks for sure, so my weekend goal is to get our schedule and dining plans all figured out!!
