September 2011 - The Planning Has Started!!!

[sillylily]

MikellaCinderella, those have to be the sweetest outfits ever! You make me want to go back to the little days with my girls, she is such a cutie! You have a beautiful family; your older kids make me smile with their big pretty smiles. ☺

What are these bleach pen shirts mentioned? Anyone have a picture? Sounds intriguing!

That was me. I found this on another thread. The shirts look kind of neat! I really wish I had found it last year for our family trip.

Here's the link to the thread, which has lots of photos:

This is one of my FAVORITE memories (and DD's). We went to the tea with Alice and Mad Hatter onboard the Magic. Mikella was chosen to participate in the tea at the head table with Alice and Mad Hatter!! It was soooo special for her!! Alice walked into the room and grabbed her by the hand and led her up front. Here are a few pics from that experience.
Here's before the tea started. We "thought" we were going to sit here and enjoy the little show and drink tea. Mikella was practicing.

OMG ...where were you on our cruises when my DD's were little and would wear this stuff....So stinken cute!! Who does your sewing?? I so wish I could sew cause I would be making all those outfits and matching for their AG dolls and their bitty babies!! Ok now I feel like I need a cute outfit for DD(7) for Epcot. I saw something on Etsy and was thinking of getting it. I have to say not as cute as the ones you have. Do u resell them on ebay or something after the cruises or have you kept them?? I match mine like you have in your formal pics. Ok I wanna rewind to when youngest was 2 so I can have those outfits on our first DCL..
Here's when the show actually started and Alice brought her up front. I, of course, grabbed my camera right away! LOL

Yes, I always resell them on Ebay, but just recently a page was started on FB called Custom Boutique Resell Group, so I've been selling a few over there to avoid the INSANE Ebay seller fees. I use a variety of designers, most of which who I end up becoming "friends" with. The Alice one was created by my friend Lori of Taylor Tots Designs. The Disney Magic one was made by Megan of Kayapaya. The Captain Mickey one was made by Beverly of Cutie Pie Designs.

I have more pics coming.....just got home from work and I need to go to bed! lol

Thank you! My older kids look like babies in these photos! They are 16 and 13 now! My son (who has braces in this photo) no longer has braces....but now my daughter does!

Ok, posting one more for our upcoming cruise.....then I'm finally headed to bed!!

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Oooh, the Rapunzel one is cute! We need little dresses like that for beach and pool cover ups!

DD(7) also like Rapunzel...I was thinking cover up would be cute but won't match her swim suit. I guess if she really likes it though that it won't matter cause you won't see the swimsuit anyhow once it's on. I can't wait to go se what they got.

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

The new DCL itineraries are available for booking tomorrow morning!! Since DCL is totally separate from WDW, that shouldn't affect the Disney CM's. Did you hear somewhere that extra CM's were needed for something? Where did you get the info on that and a "fantastic offer" for Sept?! Oohhh, sounds very good....hopefully?!?

I already scoped out the new itineraries! I thought we might do the Hawaii one since it's been rumored for awhile....but after looking at it today, it's 15 nights so probably insanely expensive! 9 days are at sea, with on 4 actual days at the 4 main Hawaiian islands....and even 2 of those 4 are HALF days!! What the heck?! I love sea days, but having 9 of them, and only 4 partial days on the islands, doesn't seem worth the price (whatever the price ends up being. LOL!)

I saw on a site that Hawaii will START (inside) at $1800pp. I had same thoughts as you. I love sea days but 9 is a lot with not much time to explore Hawaii. It would cost us over 10,000 to go and I can go on almost 3 DCL trips for that if booked all OB. Right now we are booked on the Fantasy next Sept/Oct. We wanted to do the new ship but not bad enough to do a 3/4 nt'er I have to have 7! But I am counting on Mikella to tell us how wonderful the kids clubs are
I saw people throwing out April 15th for a new WDW deal and then others were saying more CM's Friday and thought that meant a deal at WDW. However I did see that DCL posted on the web site that they were opening phone lines for 2012 bookings on Friday and they would have more CM's. I don't really know just put those 2 things together. I really am hoping for FD though...crossing my fingers!

Ok now I love this...I could take off the ruffle on top and it would be great for my DD(8-nxt cruise). If you don't mind me asking...how much would this one run?

Also, I wish they had this one in my size

I always liked that dress better than Cinderella's gown.

Great to know. I am going to check over there for clothes!!

That Rapunzle fabric is adorable. Now I jsut need to find trhe post in this thread where someone said it would be easy to make a dress out of it!


And thank you for the bleach pen project thread. AWESOME!!!

I have been starting to read about cruises now that one is going to be leaving from NYC!! That's only an hour drive I may actually on a cruise one day!!

 

[Elianor]

Morning guys. Those are adorable pictures. Well, Congress is back to deadlock on the budget. That means a fun day for me listening to CSPAN. (I work for a non-profit that is waiting to see how much of our funding is being axed.)

Lately, the dis has been my escape from politics and work!

Just want you guys to know I appreciate you!

MikellaCinderella/Amy your family is so attractive (I would have said pretty but I bet your DS would not appreciate that!)

How about we all post our favorite Disney pictures? I would love to have faces to attach to you guys!

Another thread (Budget section) pointed me to Travel Zoo, who is offering a 14 night Disney Cruise to Spain for $799 a person! Now, DH & I keep talking about a cruise and that sounded good. Then for fun I checked airfare home. My jaw hit the floor! I thought airfare to Hawaii & back was expensive. I priced out Barcelona Spain to Toronto and it shows $3,962 x 4 = $14,613.92!! Is that for real? Is it really that expensive?? Has anyone gone on that cruise?

And thank you for the bleach pen project thread. AWESOME!!!

You're welcome!

How about we all post our favorite Disney pictures? I would love to have faces to attach to you guys!

I'm game! Here's my favorite. Our first time ever & the morning of our first full day last Sept. Too bad we were so loaded down with lanyards, pins and cameras!

DaniB,

Your son's expression is priceless! The stance and the grin are awesome!

This is DS and I

And the rest of the crew: DH, my dad, DS, DD and my mom!

This was last April and we had so much fun we are all going back in September and adding my sister and her bf!

 

[Elianor]

Okay, why can't I post a picture?

Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong? The pictures are out on Flickr and I cut and pasted the link into the box...but all I get are the little red x boxes.

I use photobucket and it gives me a choice of 4 different codes. The one I use is called "IMG code". It starts with http:

Hope this helps. I'll take a look at Flickr and see how it works. Well, I can't help... I have a flickr account but haven't used it in ages. I can't remember my password!
