Thanks! My little one is a huge Snow White fan so it is a must do for us! We got in line at 6:00 pm for it and were one of the first couple of families to get our pic taken. It is definitely worth the wait! I have learned not to go later when the party has already started because the line is

I'm feeling the grad school pain. I haven't been accepted yet as I've been working on my GRE scores and taking some minor classes for a teaching license while I wait. However, I will be submitting my application this week and if everything pans out, I will be enrolled in two classes when we leave.

Good Luck! We can support each other through it!

Congratulations on grad school!!

Congrats on grad school!

No worries...we'll keep you distracted here on the DIS

Thank you!

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:

THESE ARE SO COOL! I want to make them for me and my boyfriend for our trip and our nieces and nephews just for fun now!!

Looks like we're going to have a yard sale on May 7th. My boyfriend's sister, mom, and sister in law are all going to bring stuff to put out because they live in the country. It will be nice because we might have just enough to justify having a sale ourselves. I'm going to borrow some tables from my office. Does anyone sell snacks or drinks at their sales?

Edit: I have never posted a pic before, but will start a flickr account or something and figure it out so I can participate!

I talked to my friend and she is going to do the pins this weekend. She has a 2 year old son and due in a few weeks with baby #2. So, I just wanted to give you all a heads up on the status of the pins.

 

[L-Harper]

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!!! Look at my ticker!!!

5 MONTHS TO GO!!!!

I cannot believe how cute all of your kids are in their custom Disney clothes.

Thanks for the update L-Harper! I had convo'd her and hadn't heard anything. Looking forward to getting my pins!

Thanks, MMClubHouse!

My daughter is a german shepherd in an 8 year old's body (she usually has this "who are you and why are you talking to me" expression) and she is mentally her father's child (all logic all the time).

DS is alot more like me, an emotional roller coaster! I am so proud of the two of them though!

This was my favorite picture ever taken of her. She looks so relaxed and happy and wasn't making her usual "you're taking my picture" face!

Now that I've finally learned how to upload pictures I am totally going to write a trip report like the one's done by Glennbo and FauntelroyFan07!

We always go at 4pm but for some reason get distracted by other shiney things This time I think we will be doing MK that morning so we will already be in the park. I will make sure to grab QS dinner and sit in line eating it...it will keep the kids busy and the time won't drag as much!

You got it!

That's a nice photo! It gets harder to get a natural nice looking photo the older they get, doesn't it?

This photo reminds me of an older photo I have. I'll have to post it later.

I cannot believe how cute all of your kids are in their custom Disney clothes.

All these custom Disney clothes are making me feel like purchasing & hording them until I have grandchildren! Maybe, just maybe, my son will consent to wear something custom designed in a couple of years for another family Disney trip. I know my daughter will not.

Here's the photos your photo made me think of Elianor. These are not Disney, but taken at the Toronto Zoo summer 2007.

Yes, my kids are looking up the dinosaur's butt!

If you look closely, you can see my daughter holding a ball in her hands. After we finished going through the Dinosaur... display?... the zoo had that year, there was a souvenior section set up.

For $2, the dinosaur would "lay an egg". The egg turned out to be a clear rubber ball with a dinosaur in it.

BEST (and cheapest) souvenior we ever purchased! We still have these balls too.

Oh man...I love that some people's countdowns are right at 5 months!!! When we booked it seemed SO far away! With the end of school in sight I think time will go by pretty quickly! At least I hope!

I love all the pictures of customs!!! I am making my girls a couple pillowcase dresses for the trip.

Keep the pictures coming! It's fun putting faces with your names!!!

Our Grand Gathering will be staying at CBR 9/10-9/17. First WDW for most of us (or at least in a REALLY long time). Definitely a first for my 4 year old son! Sooo excited!!!

I'm making a list of a few things I can pick up each week before the trip to spread the cost out a little. Then I don't put these costs into the vacation budget and hubster thinks I'm doing this whole vacation thing really cheap

So here's what I've got so far that can easily be picked up in the months before the trip. Please add if you have any ideas!

sunscreen
hats
self tanner (I'm crazy pale!)
quarters for pressed penny machines
toiletries
hand wipes/ hand sanitizer
ponchos from the dollar store
