The LUCKY Muffin Spoke to Me - Halloween at WDW & Summer 2011 at DLR - 01/09/11

[HeatherBelle614]

Isn't Disney shopping fun? Great finds!

Thank you!

LOL, see, I can't do that, I'm already anxious enough about my trip, if I had everything ready to go, there's no way I'd get through the next 3 and a half months!! Even yesterday, I was telling my DH I didn't think I could make it til November!

We don't have Ross here, but it sounds kind of like Marshal's or TJ Maxx, do you have those? Those pants do look like something Kohl's would have, maybe I will check there, I'm always in Kohl's!

That would be great if they got more in, but if not, it's ok! I have a feeling with Halloween coming up soon, there will be lots of NBC stuff out!

I might just look at the basket sometimes and think "I'll be using that at WDW!" Hehe. Just might, though!

Ross is a lot like both of those stores; we have all three here! Bargain shoppers paradise! DH has found some really awesome finds over the last couple of years for things I definitely wouldn't have if it weren't for Ross!

I will let you know if he sees anymore!

PM me your email address! I have quite a few other diet tips that I'll email you about!

Super cute visor - where'd ya find that?!

Also, where is this infamous Joni who "made" me go out and find that treat back - I want to thank her on The DIS

It was on a clearance site, but they also had them at the Disney Outlet place that comes to this area once a year. I really wish I'd stocked up on them.

She moved in to a new apartment yesterday and is supposed to be getting the internet in the new place today, so I'm sure she'll be around later!

I have to admit that I've never listened to a podcast and don't really know what they are. Help! Do you have to pay for them? Where do I find them?

EEEE they are only the greatest things ever...especially if you drive a lot! They are like FREE little radio talk shows and they're really niched. You find them on iTunes under Podcasts. The one I'm talking about is called WDW Radio Show. The DIS has one too!! Just search disney or walt disney world in iTunes and click podcast and you'll find SO many!

I know a few years ago the Storybook Cafe's dinner didn't have any characters, but I'm not sure if things have changed. I'd deffinetly go though

You found some great stuff for your trip too, I love that bag

I LOVE that visor!! I would love to find a shirt that had a similar look too it-- sometimes I think it's waaay too difficult to find Disney Princess shirts for adults online! Our Disney store closed and they didn't have a great adult section anyway.

I've heard DLR dining is a lot different than WDW; I think we'll make a PS for our two definite choices, though. Do you think it'd be safe to say we could walk-up to the restaurant one night and be OK? It seems like that's the vibe over on the DLR boards.

I totally agree! There was a shirt that they had on our honeymoon that I haven't been able to find since. I kick myself for not buying it!

It had a crystal high heel on it that said "A Perfect Fit." It was adorable, but near $30 for a tank top, so I passed it up. Worst WDW shopping mistake, ever!

I'm here finally. lol Plans sound amazing. Can't wait to hear more!!!

Hi there neighbor, fellow sparkles lover, and pink cape wearer! I'm glad you made it over!!

Do it! It will be great for the flight, too.

 

[scottny]

all caught up.

We r having the HP talk. I get vertigo and I really do not want that to happen while I am there.

Might just do the 2 parks and looks around HP.

Congrats on DL, I have not been in 15 years.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Hey, you stole my bag!

I like the visor, too I don't wear them, but that one's cute!

I think you deffinetly could. The place is huge and not too many people know about it. The only place we saw in DLR that had a wait time over 20 minutes was the Blue Bayou (which I'd deffinetly go to, it looked very cool!!!)

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

Love that Halloween bag! Each time we've been in the fall I've always been tempted to get it. It's so cute. I may just break down and get it if they have it out when we're there.

 

[PopArtGal]

Yay for Disneyland!

Boo for June! If I end up going there is no chance at all it can be at the same time.

 

[PopArtGal]

Hey...that visor reminds me of something

 

[stacikristine]

What fun new Disney Trip items! The visor is super cute, and what a sweet surprise!!

 

[exwdwcm]

hey Heather- i finally made it over! love the plans so far! and YEAH for Disneyland too!! woo hoo- we really are twinkies now! We so need to gtg and talk up DL- i leave in a month!

For DL- we have booked (60days out for there)- storytellers, Steakhouse 55, Blue Bayou and Carnation Cafe. We will do fast food or play it by ear on everything else. We are also doing the walk in walt's footsteps tour!

so jealous you saw B&B- i wanted to, but the timing didn't work out with all my stuff at work and going out of town for work. Wasn't it at the new theatre downtown too- it looks so amazing!

yes, you have to check out the podcasts- i've been listening to the DIS podcast for years now. I did the podcast cruise with all of them last May and they also did a party at TSM we got to go to on this last trip- rode TSM to our heart's content after hours!

i wnat to see what hallmark ornaments you got- my mom got the caraousel one at the grapevine mills hallmark!

okay, gotta run to the gym at lunch and get back in time for a meeting. but will definitely be reading up more later.

I might already have a basket of toiletries that are crying "Use me...useeee me!!" I try to go over to the (pretty much dead now, unfortunately) freebie thread on the budget board and sign up for the samples. I have a ton of those stocked up for our trip!

Do you guys have Ross there? That's where DH works retail (as one of his many, many jobs.) They just get a bunch of random stuff in that other stores don't sell (including Prada and Gucci, which I still can't afford right now, unfortunately!), but everything is at a sale price. They just got this one pair of pj pants in, but DH is pretty sure they came from Kohl's.

I can let you know if they get any more in! It's all really, really random and sometimes they just get one of something.

oh, which Ross does he work at? I spent way too much money in there- i was just at the park/preston one this weekend!

i too buy toiletries and other stuff way early. i just feel like i don't have such a huge expense right before the trip, if i slowly buy way in advance. i keep a disney 'box' of stuff!

 

[Simba22]

Cute WDW trip swag! I can't wait to do my shopping!

 

[dizneeat]

All caught up again!

I LOVE all of your purchases! I wish we had a Disney store here somewhere - unfortunately the closest ones are in Paris and London - over 1000 km away!
And BTW - I love that bag too - it's on display in my wardrobe!
