Sew Much Fun...13 of Cinderella's Mice head to WDW! (update 3/10 page 23)

WooHoo! So excited for your return trip. You will have to let me know if a passholder discount comes out. I want to switch to that if possible!

Hey, it's only a short trip and I already have 2 outfits planned (Sally and Snow White). I have another idea for her birthday or her BBB day. . .we need to discuss!

Sally will be for MNSSHP...which I'm really hoping is Sunday (it's been on that Sunday for the past couple of years so I would say it's a good shot)

I'm trying to decided what to make for Friday. I plan to pick her up at school and surprise her and then have her change. Snow White will be her Bday/BBB outfit. I'm thinking 1900 PF for dinner on her bday so Cindy will be getting recycled. I'm thinking that since we are going to be park hopping...she will be wearing at least two outfits a day!
 
hi, great report, amazing pix, and I AM A PRO PHOTOG!! lol
we plan to be there the same week for MY 45th bday, whoooo hoo, at BC with 40% pin, we will have to meet somewhere!!:woohoo:

That’s right…all the way back to Columbia Harbour House. In our plan to have no plans, we quickly decided to skip HM and save it until it was dark. Cooler than anyway. Instead we headed over to Fantasyland to check out the situation over there.
Are you sure you were in the same park as us the same day??? This was Sat morning right???? I had no wait at any ride the whole morning...what's up with that? What time was it during that line at HM???? The first time I saw any substantial amount of people was back at the hub around 11am. It was seriously dead except for one group in blue standing around by BTMR....wow....no wonder you said it was crowded.:sad2:


I interupt this regularly scheduled TR to let you know that I have booked my return to Disney!!! All booked for October 23-27th to celebrate Aisling's 6th bday! Now...nobody tell Ash :ssst:
Yaaaaaaaa....Now I get the scoop....we will just miss ya...we're going Sat 31st. How are you going to surprise Aisling? Are you going to tell her at any point? princess:
 
I love those sweatshirts that Stacy made!

Wow, to be there at rope drop and not run to Dumbo. I can't imagine!

You got me! My jaw dropped open in shock when I read that you did the people mover first! :rotfl:

I didn't know there were different story options on the laugh floor. I thought they were all the same!

I would have got the Doritos, too! When I was a kid, I had a Doritos sleeping bag.

Wow!! Your Thunder Mountain pictures are AWESOME!!! I should have just stole them from you instead of some random website for my TR!

We missed Splash Mountain this time around. Too stinkin' cold! Did you get very wet?

Wow, that line for HM- it's FEBRUARY!! It's a 2 star day!!! What is up with the crowds??

Great news on your return trip in October!! I'm trying to work on Henry to get him to agree to a Disneyland trip in October. So far, no luck. He says I can take the kids by myself if I want to. :sad2:

I am really loving your TR!!
 
:goodvibes , yeah, there ya go!!!

Loved this latest update. That HM line was crazy. I definitely prefer that ride at night too. Hahaaha

It was crazy...but we will get to ride HM and it was interesting shall we say ;)

Finally, vindication that the park WAS crowded!!! :rotfl:

See it's all a matter of perception. You are used to crowds. I am clearly not. But it was really crowded for value season and a poor economy.

This was around lunch time I'm not sure exactly.


Yaaaaaaaa....Now I get the scoop....we will just miss ya...we're going Sat 31st. How are you going to surprise Aisling? Are you going to tell her at any point? princess:

We are not planning on telling her until we pick her up from school. How fun is that going to be?!?!

Two issues I have to resolve are: how to figure out the clothing thing and come up with a reason why she's not having a bday party.

Glad to have back up on my Doritos decision ;)

There are 3 different storylines on Laugh Floor that I know about. Obviously the jokes are always somewhat different but there are 3 general plots that we've seen.

It was definintely not a 2 star trip...they were wrong. They clearly didn't take into consideration the 7 for 4 deal, the school groups, the SuperBowl being in Florida the weekend before, and the cheerleading championships.

We didn't get that wet on Splash. They had shut off the extra jets (presumably due to the cold weather) so it was back to the old ride.

Good luck convincing Henry on the October trip. Personally I wouldn't do DL by myself unless I was just going to DL/CA and staying at a hotel within walking distance. The traffic/driving makes me way too nervous. And I drive in Boston everday :scared1:
 
yay for new ressies! I can't tell you how jealous I am! Jayden wants to be Sally for Halloween too! She decided that last Halloween. Stacy, have you figured out how you are going to make that yet? Hopefully we will be at Disneyland in October. It's my favorite time of year to go!
 
Whew I'm behind!

1) Yay for rope drop at MK! That is my favorite opening show evah!:goodvibes
2) Holy HM line!! I've never seen it that bad before! :eek:
3) :woohoo: :dance3: :yay: for rebooking!

Those sweatshirts are too cute! Wish I was crafty like you ladies! :thumbsup2

Our idea right now is a feliz- not really a Sally costume, but a Sally custom. Giant Sally applique on the front panel- then the straps, and side panels will be all funky patchworky (like Sally) with exposed stitching, etc. The back will be ruffled up with the different fabrics in the patchwork. What do you think?

Also, the snow white will be a semi-case of yours. I can't believe that we had the exact same idea about the peasant top! The skirt will NOT have the dwarves though. I do not have the patience!!

I am so excited for this trip. I really hope that I can pull off the surprise. Needless to say, there won't be a countdown on my siggie. Aisling can't read all the words on here but she can definitely read that!!!

The HM wasn't that crazy at MNSSHP...where I expected it to be long.

The rebooking conversation was almost a little embarrassing...she asked when the last time I was there and when I said "two weeks ago" in a little voice, she told me not to be embarrassed by my Disney obsession...her EXACT words! :rotfl2:

Ok so I will let Stacy handle all the sewing questions :worship:

I have also agreed to allow Aisling to put "stitches" on her face for MNSSHP...you know- if we ever go again. ;)
 
Wow--I am totally jealous of your photos...they're so pretty!! I'm subscribing right now...I'm loving all your details...looks like you had a lot of fun!! Thanks, Deva (Dayva)

:welcome: thanks for reading!

Thanks about the pictures. We did have a blast :woohoo:

Looks like from your siggie that you have a big trip coming up!
 
Another proof of the crowds shot…check out all the strollers!

Stacy and I headed over to Fantasyland and the crowds were what we expected. We decided to skip most of it but check out Philharmagic (it had just re-opened the day before after a rehab)

483579844705_0_ALB.jpg


After the show, we were feeling pretty hungry. We contemplated Columbia Harbour House for minute but that menu is really seafood heavy. I’m a New Englander so that’s fine with me but I didn’t want to go somewhere that Stacy had one option. Plus the people waiting for HM were still standing in the restaurant so we skipped it.

Instead we went to….

Whoo Hooo…yet again something new. I’ve never eaten here before. In all our trips, we only eaten at Cosmic Rays and Pecos Bill. I’ve always wanted to eat at Pinocchio Village Haus ever since I discovered that this was what those people sitting over IASW were doing! Alas, there were no IASW view seats but we did sit outside and have a leisurely people watching session.
Stacy had a salad. Such a good girl. I had chicken fingers. But I did have a water and apple slices with it instead of soda and fries. Can’t be having my new friend Stacy thinking that I only ate processed foods! I did have the Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert. I wa pretty stuffed and couldn’t finish it but the bites I did have were pretty good!

After lunch, we headed over to Toontown for a very special meet and greet. We only met one character the whole trip and THIS was it. BUT I’m going to need to skip this update. Sorry folks. The only proof of it is contained on my photopass cd. When it arrives, I will take you back to this fun interaction. I will leave you a shot of the light fixture we stared at for an obnoxious amount of time (the sign LIED…big time!) This ended up being the longest line we waited in the whole time!

After that fun, we decided to take a small break and ride the train around the park. I discovered the train on our last trip. I mean, I always knew that it was there but I never thought about how it did provided a nice break mid-afternoon. After standing in a very long character line, our legs were tired and we needed a break. So onto the railroad we went

After a trip around the park, we got back off at Toontown and walked back over to Tomorrowland. We were going to ride the People Mover in honor of our kiddos. But check out the line….

255546944705_0_ALB.jpg


A line for the PeopleMover???? Really???? See the park levels were insane. ;)

OK, I’ll fess up. Those people were actually waiting around because the People Mover was temporarily shut down. Instead, I dragged Stacy onto…

She hadn’t been on it since she was a kid and frankly, everyone needs to experience that song. It’s more catchy that IASW.

After our journey back to the future, we headed back to the castle for the late afternoon show. We got to sit right in front of the stage (which was another break for the old legs!)

Anyone else wish that they had stuck with the fake head Captain Hook and Smee???? These are freaky. Freakier than the talking Mickey.

After the show it was time to head over to Poly for our dinner at Kona. But first we had to battle this crowd

459466944705_0_ALB.jpg


You guess… Did we get to the Poly on time OR did we find something a bit distracting by the flagpole???
 
FUN! I can't wait to hear about the meet 'n' greet! :rolleyes1 I think I heard a little preview somewhere...I can never get anyone to go on Carousel of Progress with me! I've never seen it. :sad1: Those crowds are crazy! Once we tried to go on HM and the wait was like 40 minutes. We went back another day (President's Day actually) and it was 5 minutes :confused3

You have had the meet and greet preview...no ruining it for the other kids ;)

You've never been on the CoP??? You HAVE to go on it. Walt would want you too! Tell your kids its a nice place to take a break and cool off (if it's actually warm during your next trip!)
 
I was cursing your name one morning when I woke up singing "It's a great big beautiful tomorrow. . ." or whatever those words are! I couldn't get it out of my head all day.

We really did have soooo much fun. We did what we wanted, when we wanted. Though Kristine has yet to mention how many millions of times I went to the potty. I think at this point it was Stacy- 4, Kristine-0

Ok folks...my secret is out. I have the bladder of a camel. When I'm 50 I fully expect that this will no longer be the case but as of now I'm good. I can seriously count on one hand the number of time I've used the bathroom at work (aside from when I was expecting)....and I've worked there 10 years :rotfl2:
 
Just at POP (much to my DH's dismay who has turned into a Deluxe resort snob!). I'm really trying to keep this trip cheap(er) ;)
I really enjoy Pop! I'm sure your DD will have a blast there too!

It was definintely not a 2 star trip...they were wrong. They clearly didn't take into consideration the 7 for 4 deal, the school groups, the SuperBowl being in Florida the weekend before, and the cheerleading championships.
How could you forget all the tour groups?

You'll have to come to WDW with my DS & I (the Walt lover). He LOVES CoP and Tomorrowland Transit Authority (he'll be crushed when he hears this will be closed when we go. He loves rides like Space Mountain, BTMRR, Everest, Test Track too but he loves the classics.
