Shhh...it's a surprise/Lies all Lies...day 4 added 10/10

[amytheobald]

Amy,
I'm subscribing so that I can see your plans. We are going to MNSSHP the same night you are going. Karlyn and Gabby are doing BBB earlier in the day and then we will get there around 4. We also have ressies at LTT for about 8 that night but since we are on Mountain time, we will really think it is only 6 so hopefully it will work out. It was the only time we could get and it is a must for our family.

Now I've seen pictures of your kids I'll be watching for you. We are having a couple of matching shirts. You will see the Hawaiian print shirts on my PTR and then we will all have matching red Wish T-shirts thanks to the Disboutiquers especially Piper for making the ones for Karlyn's family and sharing the transfer so that I can get the others ready. I love your designs. They are really cute. Oh and I told all the adults in our family that they didn't have a choice, wear the matching shirts or stay home! Not too hard to make a decision on that one. Once the mom, always the mom!

Denise

Aly is doing BBB in the castle at 3 that day. I m working on matching shirts right now...I love matching shirts, OH how I wish I was a sewer, but I m not...maybe one day when I have more time! I m so excited that you guys and Karlyn's wish trip.

So let me run our plans down one more time...since they've changed a few times....

Sept 10 arrive asap check in, Typhoon Lagoon, 6:20 Rose and Crown, Illuminations and some rides at epcot
Sept 11 Hollywood Studios, 4:20 ADR at SCI Fi I will try to get us in for lunch.
Sept 12 MK and MNSSHP 12:55 ADR at Crystal Palace, 3pm BBB
Sept 13 Epcot Adrs at Raglan rd for lunch and Les Chefs for dinner
Sept 14 head home

The last time we went we always took mid day breaks I m worried about the 12th...with no mid day break.

Check out the link in my signature to the Mini DISmeet that we are setting up. We have a pretty good crowd it looks like, paparazzimama and myself will be there with our families!

Amy -

On the day of MNSSHP, what time do you plan on arriving? Just in time for ADR or at RD? That's a very long day for kids.

As for the DisMeet, I'm off by a month since I don't go to October. but, all of you can celebrate Joey's 13th birthday for us. 9/13 is his birthday.

I m very worried about this day...we are planning to do rope drop. So I m going to try to change BBB to later in the day so that we can take a couple hour break. I m also going to try to get into Crystal Palace earlier so that we can have a longer mid day break... any other ideas?

21 DAYS
I have so much to do... I need to start pulling stuff together to pack, get our touring plans and TGM info down on paper, finish oldest DS's passport for our epcot day, figure out tink gifts, print a list of ADR's and get tip envelopes ready! Hmmm...I wonder would DH let me just hire a VIP guide so that I don't have to worry about touring plans, maybe I ll ask him....when we win the lottery that'll be my first question, but until then I guess I better work on my touring plans! What have I done lately to get ready for the trip? well I designed and ordered some shirts from VistaPrint... I ordered these:

For our Studios day for the DS's...and I still need to figure out what DH, DD, and I will wear that day! I ordered these:

for our Epcot day! but Vista Print didn't carry kids sizes so while DS's can swing an adult small with it only being a little big DD would swim in it, so I need to print her a transfer and iron it on. Really I got 6 shirts for under $50 it would have cost me as much to print them and iron them on, so I was happy with that! I also think I will print our stick family shirts and iron them on to light pink tees for Aly and I and white for the boys. I also picked up these at the disney store:

[/IMG] I got two of these for the boys and of course a princess for the

[/IMG]

We are surprising the kids with costumes for MNSSHP and dd is dying to be Giselle, of course Giselle dress is 80$...I just can't do that, so I am looking for something that will work and something that is not $80. DH wants to get stormtroopers for DS's I found some online but I need to order them so that they get here before we leave.

It's funny I see that there are a few other diser's that will be there at the same time as us, even same resort...so what do I say if I see them..."Hey I ve been stalking your PTR on the net." LOL

DIS stalking - a new Olympic sport It'll be neat if you guys do run into each other. I'm sure you'll recognize some from their pics.

Love the costume ideas for the party and the t-shirts came out great as did the great purchases at the Disney store. Where did you get the Mickey Jedi pic.? Both of my DS would loved that.

DH found it, I' ll email it to you tonight, when I ask him where it is. If your kids can wear adult sized t shirts you can upload it onto vista print and get them for like 4.95 a piece.

Ok so I called Disney Dining (yes I have there number in my phone) and checked for Chef Mickey ressies for lunch on the 12th(our big MK day and BBB and MNSSHP) hoping that we could get early ressies, and make it back for a mid day break at the hotel before our 3pm BBB appt. NO LUCK...fooie, so I m not sure what to do, I m concerned about the super long day for the kids.... I also asked to move BBB back an hour or two, and everything is booked. I m wondering what time CP opens for lunch( our ressie is at 12:55 but I want to get it more around 10:30 or 11 so that we can take a break before having to be back for the 3pm BBB) and if there would be anyway to go as soon as they open for lunch and see if they could squeeze us in?

 

[BarbieGal457]

I'm in! Don't feel bad, I have tons of Disney #s in my cell phone!

Welcome, thanks for joining in! DH thinks I m nuts, but he enjoys every minute of Disney so he keeps quiet!

 

[amytheobald]

Ok so I got the boys halloween costumes ordered....

and of course we can't have unarmed stormtroopers so I also ordered...

So now I just need to find a "Giselle" dress...and I was thinking if DD is going to be Giselle DH should be the Prince (the lame one from a land far far away) and maybe I ll be Princess Lea...DH will be thrilled

My oldest DS has gotten a little birthday money from family he has about 100$ last night he says "Mom I have $110 if I help pay can we go to Disney a little sooner, PLEASE!"

 

[amytheobald]

Ok... I now have a spreadsheet, and with one more call to Disney Dining, alright it was really 2 calls...let me explain I think I ve solved my MK day problem.

We had planned to go to Rose and Crown for dinner on the 10th, but remember my whole we have to have at least one character dining thing...thus the problem on the 12th because it was going to be A LONG DAY. So I call Disney DIning did the press 1 for english etc... (I think I have it down its 1-1-2- phone number 1-1-1)LOL So anyways, turns out I got a ressie for Storybook dining on the 10th at 8pm, and just as I was completing the CC guarantee my phone dies, of course I can't find my charger so I go outside sit in the car, plug it into the car charger to call them back..the ressie went through, we're all set...and the Fabulous CM confirms all of my ADR's with me...so we will get the Character Dining out of the way first thing. I m going to play the 12th by ear I will stop by around 10:30 to see if we can get in early at CP if not, no pressure we will just go back to the resort and not worry about it. We will have a several hour break before having to go back to MK for BBB and MNSSHP!

So while I should be cleaning house, I ve instead been tweaking our Disney plans, calling Disney Dining, reading TGM (who's DHS advice isnt all that helpful), and making a spreadsheet...It really is all about priorities!

Glad you got it worked out to your satisfaction. And, while I should be working, I'm reading here cause I'm tired and would rather be reading on the DIS right now. I belong to TGM too. As to priorities - what's the matter? They're not messed up at all!

Hi!
I don't know how I missed your PTR until now!
I will be at POR from 9/10-9/17th so maybe I'll see you! We are also doing MNSSHP on the 12th.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the stick people shirt and would love to do this for just dh and I since we will be there with no kids! Can you forward me the design without the kids?

I look forward to hearing more.

Oh, I am also on TGM. I've just started really planning out our park days.

So DH was annoyed that I changed plans again, and wanted to know if I got the house clean...since I swore thats what I was doing today! Guess I need to power clean. Then after he thought for a minute, he said "actually that will work out best for our trip anyways!"...Glad he approves!

His newest thing is that he is refusing to be the FP runner....whatever, he's doing it and that's that...he just doesn't know it yet!

 

[devonsmommy]

Can you do both please? That would cover 2 outfits for me! Thank you sooooooooooooo much!

LOL...I haven't even told my dh about ANY of our plans! I tried to get him to tell me what kinds of things he would eat so I could calculate which meals will be OOP, and he said, "Can't we just discuss this on the plane?"
