Ok, so I was working on our shirts this weekend for our July trip and here is what we have.]

Love all the shirts! I always wanted to wear one! But... My DH draws the line at matching shirts. He will do ALL other aspects of Disney with me, but will not do the shirts.

Oh well. I love to see what others create though. I can live vicariously through others. Lol.

Cute shirts DisneyMom!!

Agreed!! They're so cute! I'm watching Miss USA so I was waiting until the commercial to look at them, haha! Go South Carolina

Thanks!At first, my DH wasn't on board, but the way I got all of them on the same page was that for each movie, they got to pick the character they wanted on their shirt. For some of them, my DH wanted to pick the villain, so I let him. The map shirts I came up with and ran with it. Our names are on the back of them in lime green. They each got to pick the park they wanted on their shirt and I took the last one. And they are in the order that the parks were opened. I thought it was cute. So I basically conned them into doing what I wanted.

Exactly how we feel. My DH is 20% tipper if the service is just good. We have had the card since last July. We have used it A LOT!!! And will be renewing it again. Can't beat the savings! I really wish I would've kept track of what we've saved so far. I'm going to do that in July. Just to give you an idea, look at the trips in my signature and add April to that. OMG that must be a lot of money saved. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

I keep track of all the food we buy, minus alcohol, to see how much it adds up to at the end of the trip and it's always a lot less than the deluxe dining plan, even when I factor in the tips and the cost of the TIW card it comes out to less. We don't eat 3-course meals at every restaurant, but that's just it...we don't need to. I can't eat like that for 10 days straight, for so many meals. I do that on a cruise, but just at dinner and the portions are smaller and a lot of times I don't finish each thing I have. We would have leftover credits, we wouldn't get an appetizer and dessert each at every single meal, so it would be credits and money wasted. The regular DDP has too few TS and too many CS credits for us. The break even point for the TIW card is spending $500 on food. We spend a lot more than that and the savings really add up!

Those T Shirts are awesome

mine is the same way except I got him to agree to one day of sort of matching shirts. Santa Claus brought a box for the family last year and they all have the same Mickey design but DH's is blue, mine purple, DS red and DD pink. So DD said we have to wear them all together because that is what Santa intended

I just had to make a few massive changes to our plan! I didn't realize that on the nights of Harambe Nights the Africa section of the park will close at 6, and the last Lion King show will be at 4. That totally put a snag in our plans, so I just went in and flip flopped our MK and AK days and changed all our FP+ ressies! Luckily everything was still available for similar times, so hopefully we'll be ok. I don't know if doing the MK on a Sat is nuts or not, but it was one of the recommended parks on Easy WDW, so hopefully we're good to go! I also was able (miraculously!) to snag an ADR for Crystal Palace on the new MK morning, which means I may be releasing the other one! I'll keep you posted

 

[Princess Michele]

We changed a couple of our ADR's at the request of my children. Instead of Planet Hollywood we are going to eat at 'Ohana at 6:30pm on 7/24/14 at the request of my daughter. This will be her birthday/graduation dinner. Instead of 50's Prime Time Cafe we will be eating at Sci Fi Dine In at 12:10pm on 7/25/14 at the request of my older son.

These are the only ones I have changed on this trip so far. On our last trip I was constantly changing ADR's and never seemed satisfied with what we had.

 

[Princess Michele]

Ok I am looking to do some dismeets on this trip. I have a set touring plan in terms of what days I am doing parks and my ADR's but all the other time during the day is up for fun times and meets. I will post here the ones who have the same day park as my family and I do. If you are interested or you plan on doing the same park but don't have it listed on our Touring plan post, let me know and we can work something out. If you would prefer to private message, that would be fine too.

So on:

July 21st I am doing HS and yce22princess you are slated for that as well, if you are interested, let me know

July 24th at Epcot, TinkerElsasMom, let me know if you would like to meet

July 26th at MK, Princess Michele, let me know if you would like to meet.

Anyone else let me know. I had some great meets on my last trip and would LOVE to meet some more great people!

I would love to meet up with you some time and anyone else. I don't know how long you are planning to stay at HS but we are planning on attending the 10:30pm Fantasmic on July 21st. We will be leaving Epcot to go to HS around 8:30/9:00pm. I am not sure what time we will get to MK on July 26th after AK but I am hoping it will be before 6:00pm.

We don't park hop so we are in the parks from morning until (usually) park closing. We do intend to stay for Fantasmic. The only thing we have on our schedule for the 26th is dinner at a CS location (usually Cosmic Rays) but that may change depending on where we are when we are hungry. I would love to meet up if either of those work for you.

Oh my gosh! We're doing the SAME thing on the same night We might stay for Illuminations, though, and then head over. Maybe we'll see you on the way! Our mode of transportation will depend on how tired we are We normally prefer to just walk, but the boat might win out that night (Not to mention the fact that when we stayed at the Dolphin 2 years ago and walked to DHS we saw a snake along the walking path. Not sure I want to encounter that in the dark!!)

Well, if you guys are both up for a meet, we can meet at Fantasmic snack stand if interested right before the show starts. If so, I will be in my Mrs. Incredible shirt.

My DH and I have a day at Epcot to ourselves celebrating our 20th anniversary. I want to do something special for our shirts for this day and am working on some ideas for it. I will post those when I get them worked out.

Awesome shirts!

 

[courtneybelle]

My MagicBand came today!!! Can't wait to start decorating!

 

[DisneyMomFanatic]

Awesome shirts!

Thanks, I love doing these and I figure I better do it while they will all still wear them.

That sounds good to me. I guess we will need to look for you because I have no idea what I will be wearing. I read on one of the threads that the center section usually reserved for dining packages during the firs show is now used for FP+ holders during the second show. I wonder if there will be FP+ available around 9:15 that night.

Thoughts on a late dinner at Chef Mickey's vs late breakfast?

On the 3rd, is transportation going to be a complete nightmare that I don't want to go back to the resort in the afternoon for a break? Don't think MK would be closed that day, but I'm worried about the bus situation if we try to leave and then come back. Thoughts?

And last question...

Departure day...ME should pick us up around 4pm. Would you hit MK for breakfast and a few rides or do Chef Mickey's and resort hopping for shopping on the monorail loop?

We actually try to do that on our last day every time! We like to end our trip in MK!

Wow - the end of the year is in full swing at my school! Paperwork, grades, filing, paperwork, cleaning, organizing... did I mention paperwork? 2 weeks and summer will officially start for me!

 

[think-like-tink]

Just one more thing we can mark off the list, Today is the last day for our MB's to be customized. I am hoping they ship out this week.
