Whose got the ring???????

I got the ring....

Who dropped on bended knee.... My Spouse the Mouse.

Who hugs me and loves me.. MIC KEY M O U S E.

Where does all my money go.... visitation gotta see My Spouse the Mouse....

Well in that case call me Mrs Sheriff Woody - when we went for autographs he stole DH's groom ears and led me off across the park - we were running away together! Sigh... how romantic ...

I haver never stood in line before - well maybe a couple of times when I was a kid for a photo but never for autographs - I made the book and then felt a bit silly when i got to the parks so I wasn't going to do it but DH forced me in the line with the book in my hand and I was so glad because I had a blast! He was seeking out the characters for me - especially in our last week when it was just us two and we were chilling out.

I have to say though that I liked the characters in suits best - as they can't speak! I met Mary (my hero) and was soo emabarrased at having to talk to her! I'm just too shy for my own good

I agree! When we went on our honeymoon, I HAD to meet Ariel and Belle.... it was definitely more awkward! This trip we stuck primarily to the non-face characters.... they are more fun for me!

Here's Tink's signature:

It's beautiful! Just as I imagined ....

That will be my next quest. I just always assumed you couldn't get her autograph since you couldn't ever find her walking around!

Cute song - never heard it before

If I had I may not have thought it would be a good idea to jump from my chest of drawers to my bed when I was a kid - slipped on my socks - fell on the floor - one fat lip and one swollen ankle!

OUCH!

But I might add, that just knowing the song doesn't seem to help kids here, either. I'm not so sure it ever pops into our heads when we get those "brilliant" ideas.....

Trying to catch up on all that is happening:



Kristine: Did you get the patches that Deb made for Kristen? How is she taking to them? Beautiful grandbaby. It's when they are little like that, that I want one more. Unfortunately, you can't keep them 6 months and younger. I really like your new do.

Not yet...I am hoping today...the sticky patch stinks!

My sister just wandered in here and said, "Sissy.... I've missed Disney World for 3 days straight now"

How do I tell her that the post-Disney funk is unavoidable, and that once you've gone, you'll miss Disney almost every day that you aren't there?!



So I just told her that when she's older, she and I will have to go all the time!

I do hate days like this though.... and I hate that even she and my mother are falling victims to the funk! What is it about that place?

Does anyone have or know where I can find a picture of the Cinderella Castle without a background? I've found lots of beautiful pictures but they all have backgrounds. Thanks. Vicki

I don't know....It just "has us" thats all. I was planning my next trip at the end od my October 2005 trip before we even left. And I already thought of a 2007 trip as well...

It's this: one of my first stabs at photoimpact...I am trying to toy around with soome other designs. I think I need to put everyone back in some shirts and ears and take some new pictures..

Don't know if somebody has responded yet, but Epcot turns 25 in 2007 - that could be the next "big thing."

Doesn't MK turn 35 this year (2006)?

Trying to catch up a bit so someone may have answered for you but yes MK turns 35 this year....found through my research that I am a couple months older than the Magic Kingdom (July vs. October)

 

[babytrees]

I am heading out Talk to you all soon!

Enjoy yourself!!!!

Vicki - if you've found one you like send me the link or email the image to me and I'll see if I can extract it from the background for you.

Like a mailman...neither rain, or sleet, snow, fog or hail was going to stop me...and that's exactly what I drove through today to see the grandbaby. He's cute as a button...hope everyone had a good day. Off to go drink a glass a wine. My knuckles still hurt from gripping the steering wheel.

I know I'm far back and trying to catch up, and I know you've been told this already by now - but that is a cute baby!!!! He doesn't look newborn - he looks older! And there is NO WAY that you look like a grandma!! I'm glad you are home safe.

I felt the same way - I wandered in the Epcot England store, and literally backed in the room she was in... I almost burst into tears!! I grabbed, and dragged DD away from the kidcot station (no line for Mary!! ) and the CM was talking to me as I took DD pic with Mary... I told her about my first movie with my grandma - Mary Poppins, I was 3, and grandma has since passed away, but we always gifted each other with Mary things... and I started crying/tearing up... it was embarrassing!! lol THEN, the CM says, Mary, I want you to meet a very special friend... and I look at the line, and the CM shook her head and said, "this is your moment" and Mary was so very kind, talking about Bert and those penguins.... *sigh... Disney Magic!!!

Oh and about...
Ten Little Monkeys Jumping on the bed (you make hand motions as you 'sing' say the tune... They now have a BOOK, very cute!!

and I LOVE the Tink signature... must keep reading back to find out how to get that one!!

And how expensive is photoimpact - I'm back to being addicted!!

Congrats "Grandma" Kristine

I am done packing finally! Goodnight all, I will try to check this thread before I leave. If not talk to you all when I return Hope I can sleep tonight lol

You are probably on your way by now but if not have a great trip.

 

[eeyore45]

Maybe we need to form a scrappers motivation thread for those of us that don't ever get to it. We could get motivation and support from others like we get on the weight loss thread.

That's for sure!! I bought some supplies at Hobby Lobby when they put them on 50% off - a beautiful Disney Princess Album....


I havent even printed our pictures from our Oct '05 trip, let alone getting out the album!!

I'm now planning an Oct '06 trip and I do want to do the scrapbook autograph album - thank you all so much for sharing your wonderful creative ideas!!

and the pillow, I think that's awesome!! We dont bring our pillows to wdw, but a pillowcase would be just right!!

 

[eeyore45]

Wow. You really are organized, I would never have thought to color-coordinate the signatures. That's a cool idea. I must be the world's most unorganized mom. (I even buy all white socks for the boys. ) Thanks for the great ideas. I do have a question, are sharpies better that markers or pens for autographs?

Kate, I didnt even notice that!! Again, thank you for sharing your creativity!! Its beautiful!!
