Have you decided where you are staying? Did I miss something? Is it November yet?

 

[ILUVDSNYWRLD]

I'll be following your report!! I'm going same time 11/21-11/28. Looks like we are both planning on being at AK on TG! I think that's a great plan!

I have a DS18 as well, and I'm taking my mom for the first time.

Love the hoodies you got. I ordered some for the family too, they should be here on Monday! DS18 didn't want one either

Only 49 days!!! I hope October goes by as quickly as September did!!

I'm Following Too we are going to be there from 11/25 - 11/29!! Have either of you done a Thanksgiving Trip to WDW before?

Hi and

I've never done Thanksgiving before I have a feeling it will turn into a yearly thing for us tho. We are supposed to be going back in April 2010, but now it looks like we will be making our 1st trip to DLR at that time

 

[MomsOf2boys]

Hi Susan! Yes, you missed something We are doing a split stay between SSR and OKW. My friend let me rent her DVC points

Oh my goodness! I was still waiting for you to come back from her house and give us the update!!

I guess my CP button just ushered me right on along on this report.

Ok... I'm all caught up now... carry on.

 

[MomsOf2boys]

Sure enough.... went back and looked and not only did I miss that update which had your Disney Store Cindy clothing but also that you may do matching shirts one day. Our family has them but my aunt and her family do not. I don't know if i could get them to do it with us or not. LOL

We have confirmed resort reservations!!! My BFF and I got on the phone with DVC this AM and we are staying the first four nights at SSR and the last 4 nights at OKW! She sold me her points at a VERY reasonalbe price, and I'd honestly much rather give her the money Both resorts are for 1bdr villas! I'm soooo excited! Can you believe that in ALL my 34 years, being born and raised an hour away from WDW for 23 of them, that I've NEVER stayed on property I can't wait to take advantage of EMH's too

I did go shopping today at the Disney Store I picked up the CUTEST velour tracksuit for DD7. It's from the Cinderella collection and is Cindy pale blue and super sparkly! I bought the shirt to go underneath it. Coolest thing was it was already marked down to clearance and I got another 25% off that! Here are the 3 pieces that make up the outfit...

Congrats on SSR & OKW!! That is fantastic that you were able to get that secured. I know that is one of the most stressful parts of planning for WDW, accommodations!

That tracksuit is absolutely adorable! I really love the shirt! She will absolutely love that!

Hoping over from my TR. Everything looks great. You're well planned out and your ressies are perfectly made.
I'm so jealous that you are going in 45 days! I have 97 to go. 7 days until I can make my ressies.

The oufit and jackets are cute! I don't have a disney stor near me. Boo! I'll have to do my shopping on line. I'm not even sure here the closest one is.

It really is, you're right I can't believe I got what I did since I waited SOOOO long to book. I'm booking my April trip to DLR now!!!

Stitch adores the outfit and wants to wear it to school already! She's really good about her clothes, so I think she'll get to do that as soon as the weather cools down enough for her to wear it

[MomsOf2boys]

carrying on now...

Yes, and shorts too!

I'll make them wear the shorts or they're not going!!!

What are you thinking about packing seriously. We were there in April and I don't know if it was a freak of nature thing or not but it was COLD

People were buying up sweatshirts all over the place. Because I am always cold in restaurants etc, I had one thin sweater hoodie and I wore it all week. I washed it but you know... all the pictures have me wearing the same thing again and again... like a really, really, really long day.

I have been to DL a couple times for NYE. That was insanity, but lots of fun!!

Weather is PERFECT in November, at least for us. Low to mid 80's during the day and then upper 50's at night. Definitely will need sweatshirts at night Those hoodies I bought at the Disney Store are going to be PERFECT

We are VERY excited too as it's our first holiday at WDW. I don't think it's going to be as crowded as summertime by far!!! I think it will be low crowds up unitl Thanksgiving Day, then pick up to about moderate through Saturday. I can deal with it tho

[NuttyDisneyMom]

so I just did some Disney online shopping at the Disney Store and Disney Outlet to the tune of $160! I think it's worth is since I got my LUGGAGE I've been wanting!!! I also made personalized duffel bags for both Alice and Stitch Got some pins for all 3 kids, a tshirt for me, some Jack PJ's for Alice that are going to be an Xmas gift, and a lanyard pouch for Charming since he doesn't have one, but will definitely need it this trip. I'll have to take pics when the personalized duffel bags get here since you can't save those photos online. Here's the photos of what's coming to me soon...

My luggage...

Alice's pjs for xmas...

My Eeyore Tee...

Charming's lanyard pouch...

Pins for the kids...Rhino is for Charming, Jack is for Alice, and Stitch is for, well Stitch...

Up next...our day by day park plans and our faves at each park

 

[shebaxric]

Congrats on the luggage and other loot!

Ok..ok...I'll go look...but if you get an email from my DP it's because I am going to blame this entire online shopping thing on you.

Don't laugh, I'm back on there again!!!!

 

[coltink]

LOVE the luggage! And the shirts

I'm trying to get my DPIC to do a matching shirt kind of thing but I'm pretty sure she is ANTI that and will nix it before I can even try to make something. Although she seems a bit interested in making a Mickey Tie Dye shirts. I'm so challanged I'm not sure I could even figure it out. I have read the directions on the disboards. They seem easy enough but I'm not sure I 'get' it.

I should make shirt shirt for myself and have it say challanged.... but that's offensive isn't it?
