I'm here!!

A trip without parks sounds nice and relaxing. A massage sounds so nice.

My fiance would probably love that, but having not been there before, I think our trip will be all about the parks this time.

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Yesss I do get there on the 25th! I don't know what time yet though!

 

[J.ThaddeusToad]

Yay! Your itinerary and ADRs look great! I'm thinking our next trip needs to be more relaxing - great idea!

YAY!

Yeah, if you haven't ever been to Disney you HAVE to go into the parks.

Yesss I do get there on the 25th! I don't know what time yet though!

Eeek, well...I'm hoping we get to leave later in the afternoon.

Yay! Your itinerary and ADRs look great! I'm thinking our next trip needs to be more relaxing - great idea!

Thanks, Catherine!

I started working on our honeymoon window decor! (One of my favorite things about staying in a moderate or value--I love seeing all the windows!) I printed out all 10 Disney princesses kissing their men. Plus a picture of me and Chris. Cheesy, I know.

Get a room - All of you!

The next thing I wanna do is make a banner that says, "Just Married" or "They Lived Happily Ever After" or something along those lines. I just feel a little weird about using "Just Married" though, since we will really be 6 months married when we are on our honeymoon... So I might use the other one. If any of you have other cute sayings, please share!

EDIT: I ended up printing out "Happily Ever After" to use in our window decor. Here are the letters (via Martha Stewart's website). I am going to string them across the window with twine!

I guess the nice thing about waiting a couple of months after the wedding to go on the honeymoon is, you get to slap your face on things you make! I ended up making a door hanger! Chris is going to laminate it for me so it can survive the week outside.

Love this you are making me want to do decorations for our windows/door or balcony at our DVC when we honeymoon right after the wedding.

I love the pictures of the couples kissing! Awesome!

Just wanted to let you know that I am here and now I feel like I should be writing one of these.

More to write! Yay!

Danielle, you are so creative!! I love the window decor! We'll be staying at a value resort in October and I think I just might have to do some decorating (Ooo! Halloween decor!)! I like the idea of doing a "They Lived Happily Ever After" banner. It sort of rolls Just Married and Disney Fairytale/Magic all into one! But if you want to do "Just Married" then do it! I have a "Just Married" banner hanging up in our apartment and I have no plans of taking it down any time soon!

 

[ScotsMinnie]

Thats a lovely idea for your window!

Teresa, Thanks for joining! I think you should DEFINITELY decorate your window/door/balcony at VWL. It would be awesome and could be a tradition for you future DVC stays! I love writing these things too and it helps to separate the ideas.

Thanks, Catherine! Oooh, decorating for Halloween would be so much fun! You could get spooky lights, and cob webs, and mickey jack-o-lantern pictures. I should book a Halloween trip too!
I might do the "They Lived Happily Ever After" banner, I like what you said about how it combines it all together.

Thats a lovely idea for your window!

Thanks, hun!

Ah, I love the window decorations! I'm trying to think of another kitchy type saying. Did you print them yourself?

I may have to get back to you on that? ;D

 

[Merida]

I know! I can hardly contain myself!



Thanks!
I chose All-Star Music for two reasons, actually! The first is because I've already stayed at POP Century before and I try to stay at a different resort every time I go. And two, one of our groomsmen is paying for our hotel room as our wedding gift and Music was the cheapest!

PS. Every time I see your name and icon I get so pumped for Brave! I cannot wait to see it.

Oh that's so nice! What a great wedding gift. I really like the goal of staying at all the hotels but my boyfriend isn't quite on board. He really really likes Port Orleans! Is there any resort that you haven't stayed at but really want to?

I know! It looks so cute and I love everyone's hair. I was looking at the sneak peaks of the toy line and I want them all! I wish they'd waited and given her a Designer doll as well. I was really excited - and surprised - that no one had taken the username when I signed up.

These are adorable! Though it took me ages to recognize Mulan/Shang. I totally forgot that they don't ever kiss in Mulan I and.. I've never been able to sit through Mulan II. They look very different, especially Shang! Can't decide if I like the hair down look, but Mulan's outfit is so pretty. Are you planning to do a garland/banner with them or more like a window sticker/cling? I think Just Married is fine - it is your honeymoon!

Yes, you should book a Halloween trip!!! We'll be there Oct 11-16 and I'm ready to work on my window decorations now (love your ideas)! I love Halloween and I can't wait to see the decorations (I'm dying to have Halloween themed cups from CS restaurants )!

Thanks, darling! I did print them out myself.

•Thanks! Oh man, you should persuade your bf to try more Disney resorts--I think they're awesome!
•Umm, I really, really wanna stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge for the animals, but I wanna stay at The Contemporary for my love of Mary Blair. Someday!
•They'll totally make Brave merchandise soon. Maybe they'll make a limited edition doll of her? I know that wedding Rapunzel is next and then Cinderella is rumored for the fall, but maybe spring 2013?!
•Yeah, Mulan and Shang's kiss is so awkward, but that's hard for me to admit because she is my FAVORITE.
•I think I'm gonna print the letters out and string them as a banner.

I would LOVE to go at Halloween, alas, this year (and maybe the next 2 years) are out if I start grad school. Someday! I've never been to MNSSHP so it's definitely on my to-do list! How many different cups do they have at the CS restaurants?

Oooh grad school! How exciting! I think I need to explain how much of a dork I am lol... I think Disney usually changes up their designs for their paper cups based on the season, the annual promotion, etc and I like seeing the different designs when I'm there. I've never been to WDW in September or October, so I've never seen their Halloween paper cups except in pictures. I won't keep the cups, I'm just excited to see them in person (yes, I'm weird ) And I can't wait for MNSSHP!

 

[NoOrdinaryPrincess]

Those window decals are adorable!

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Eeeek I love all of the kissy kissies!!!

How about you put Just Married and then your wedding date or something? Lots of people honeymoon after the wedding!

Hahah, I think that's awesome! I think I'll have to check that out next time I'm there.

Thanks, darling! I might do that...'And they lived happily ever after' is really long to print out and cut, but we'll see!

I love Mary Blair! I wish there was more of her work available for sale; I love all her concept art (especially for Cinderella! I always associate them for some reason. I mean, I love concept art in general but she's one of my favorite artists).

I like the Mattel Merida dolls - the hair is so cute and curly! And a little bow and arrow! I can't wait to see the Disney Store versions.

Have you seen the deleted scene from Reflection? I really love it and can't understand why it got cut! It was a good length and really showed Mulan's personality, I thought.
