[Sarilas]

I love your 'me fest'! If I'd been so fortunate as to have spent so much time looking like that, everyday would be a me fest! LOL

 

[BellaSoleil]

All caught up! I have only posted once on your report I think - but I wanted to chime in and say hello. I am loving getting to "shop" through you!!! haha!! You have made some great purchases - you'll win another title..."Mrs. Best Dressed at WDW"

I'll do my best to keep up now!

Cathy

BTW - little Belle's picture in you avatar is WONDERFUL!

Awe, thanks! I like that.

I love that picture of Belle, too. She is very loving and motherly to her stuffed animals. It's a joy to see.

Great pictures

Thanks!

Great update! I love looking back at old Disney pictures and the old fashions! There are PLENTY of pictures of me in some pretty un-fabulous outfits at WDW.

Well, maybe you should post a few.

Oh... that was my Bachelorette Party. It said 'Miss Bachelorette'. I didn't want anything raunchy, so my sister got me a crown and sash.

But if we are talking pageant titles... I proudly held the title of "Miss Chicken Festival 1999." Seriously!!!!

(Don't you love my pageant hair?)

Speaking of pageants... I'm sure you've heard about our Miss Teen Louisiana. My boyfriend used to be bestfriends with her older brother. Some people just don't have any tact. I hate how everything you see about Louisiana is always bad.

Awwww...I totally loved your "Me" fest!! And I'm so taking a page out of your book and I'm going to dress up for one of my dinners at the World!!

Yes and I think it is very sad.

Only if you take lots to inspire me first LOL!!!

Jen- Have you picked out an outfit yet?

 

[princess&her4princes]

Great update with the Me Fest!! I always have cute comfy clothes for WDW...but maybe this trip, I'll be inspired by you, too, and come up with a somewhat dressy outfit or two. I spend most of my time making sure my boys are dressed adorable than I do with what I am going to wear..typical Mom, huh?

 

[jenjolt]

Jen- Have you picked out an outfit yet?

Ummm no..LOL!! The fact that I have even decided to dress up is a miracle LOL..I still haven't outgrown my tom boy phase yet!!

I do have the shoes picked out and they are so pretty and its a good thing I'm only wearing them for dinner LOL!!!

Yes! Very typical! Belle's outfits are almost always cuter than mine and if they aren't it's for a reason. (Ravioli day, for example.)

Soleil~~can you recommend any websites for decent Disney jewelry?

Well, let's get to shopping!

Google Disney Couture. The best site I found is the one that the necklace and ring were on. I don't know it off the top of my head, but it is on the bottom of those pictures.

All of my horrible fashion pictures from WDW are at my parents house. I supposed I could go over and rummage through them.

You are too sweet! I'm keeping up with your report, too. We are getting closer!

AP rates are out for January now too, and I'm on the verge of a resort change! Wahoo!

Where are you planning on changing to? I'm not an AP holder, nor do I have a Disney Visa. I'm hoping a really great code comes out to the GP.

I've got my TA hunting down the best rates, but anything is a step up from All Stars, really. I'm getting an AP because it pays for itself, literally - with the AP discount, the difference in price in the room is paying for itself! But I have a feeling a GP discount will come out, sooner or later... the mouse must be anticipating the financial crunch of the value season!

ditto!! And I loooove the pictures!! How fun!!

 

[danceintherain]

What fun pictures! I need to find the pictures from our last trip. My brother and I were such hams the whole time. I'm hoping I can get Logan in on the fun this time...

 

[Sarilas]

Where are you planning on changing to?

Well I did it! I switched today to Port Orleans Riverside! The AP room rates are $89 per night, and we need two rooms so that's fantastic for us! (We COULD squeeze into one room, but we don't WANT to squeeze into one room!)

I have my fingers crossed for great GP rates for you!

 

[jenjolt]

Well, let's get to shopping!

Okay!!! I'll post some options of shirts over on my PTR in a bit!! I found a jacket I like and would like your opinion on maybe i should save that for a PM LOL

BTW my Vera Bradley Hipster came in the mail yesterday!! Going to put my stuff into it tonight and use it tomorrow!! It's so pretty!!
