The One Before the Trip

[Luvchefmic]

Love the shirts great job. I know we have plenty of time but we need to talk about FP+ choices and must do wish list for MNSSHP. I want the 7 dwarves ride, can never remember the acronym for that thing , and definitely HM.

With a 30 day window for me, not sure what the chances will be, guess we'll have to wait and see. Thoughts ?

I can't believe I fell so far behind here - my sincerest apologies!

You have been a busy girl though... LOL

Love your shirts! They turned out great! Did you make all of them?

I agree - I haven't decided if I like the new FPs or not? I guess we are going to find out... I don't like having to be so scheduled either - but I do like that it will save on criss-crossing the parks so much.

Good luck with your BOG adrs.

D~

I'll be very interested to hear about our FP+ experience.

As for the shirts, a couple of them we had made for us, my mom made the ones with bleach and we ordered the gemstone and some of the embroidered ones and put them on ourselves or rather my mom attached them as I have literally no domestic bones in my body. haha.

HM is a must during the party for sure. I'm not sure where you select FP for the party times. I'll get you the times we have so far for that time between 4 and 7. SDMR (I have no idea if that's right) still has openings at this point.

Think its 7DMT anyway I can't pick a thing until the 30 day window from that night. It may have openings now but who knows at that point. We'll see.
Any other must do ?

Your shirts are AMAZING ! Do you make them yourself? I would love to do that for our trip next year, but I don't even know where to start!

We "made" a few and by made I mean ironed on the stones and the patches. My mom made the ones with the bleach and the mickey heads in safari prints. The rest we ordered off of Etsy and some of the facebook shoppes. My mom found a lot of ideas on pinterest and etsy. It's been fun. My sister is horrified and has already forbid me from bringing all of them for our trip in March.

In true Strasz-women Disney obsessed fashion, we saw the notice for the Villain Party and decided to check into it. After we figured out where we could fit it in, we called LuvChefMic and she was all for it. The tickets have been purchased and we are excited! I think there is a real possibility that I could need a vacation after my vacation but it's going to be so worth it. We are at the 50 day mark, have made all our fast pass reservations and dining reservations. We have all of our tip envelopes and almost all of our spending money.

If only we had use of my sisters room as a "staging area". She doesn't seem to agree that she should just sleep on the couch for the next 7 weeks so we can use her room for our packing. Geesh!

We had a little bit of bad news in that my little cousin C is probably not going to joining us. Her parents aren't able to go and she just doesn't think she wants to be away from them for that long (she was riding down with my Aunt and Uncle a week early). We are still hoping that she will join us.

50 days!! I cannot wait. I've not had a vacation this summer and work has been slightly stressful lately so this couldn't come at a better time. Now to watch some Disney movies to get inspired!

Question for you and Mom: Were there 2 time slots avail for the add on soiree' ?

Any chance of changing the time to the last one offered, I keep " hearing " 11:45 pm.

Thoughts ? My thoughts are the very last one of the night will not interfere with anything else on the must do lists, and may even get more time with the Villains.

Talk it over. I'me getting excited about it

Awesome!! I hope you'll review the party; we are thinking of doing it next year when we go; if it's still offered!

Happy Birthday Carrie

Thank you Ruthie!!

It's been pretty crazy couple of weeks around here. I had a birthday and finished getting all of my spending money together. My sister gave me a pair of custom painted Toms done by ZacharyConnellArt (on Instagram and Etsy). I don't have them in hand but I do know that they will have Pluto on them. I should be getting them in about 3 weeks and I'm so excited.

I finished our planners (I made one for mom and I, one for my DB & DSIL and one for my DN). I saved it as a pdf but I think I'm going to have to save them as individual images to show them on here. I'll work on that.

In the middle of all of that I was approached by an organization I've been volunteering for about joining their team. In a whirlwind two weeks, I interviewed, figured out insurance and another part time position to supplement my income and accepted the position. I start in two weeks! Fortunately they understood that I have this trip coming up and are giving me the time off. It might have been a deal breaker if they hadn't.

We are almost to the 30 day mark

 

[plutofan0902]

Here's the planner. I printed all of the images and then mounted them on card stock and finally laminated each of them. I'm taking them tomorrow to be bound by a local printer.

**The images used were part of the Disney Photo Pass+ package and the graphics were taken from disneyclips.com

Thanks D! My sister said he is supposed to work on them this week or next. I am so excited.

Thanks for the compliments on the planner. I was inspired by yours I made a special one for my nephew and then one for my DB & DSIL with their information. It was a lot of fun to find just the right picture and clip art and put it all in. Now that the books are all put together I am noticing mistakes but I will live.

Doing the 5 day dance today!! I can't believe that the trip is almost here!! I started a new job a few weeks ago and am adjusting to a new schedule where I work at my old job 4 days a week, 5 hours a day and my new job 5 days a week, 8 hours in the afternoons. It's a lot and I'm probably crazy but I have to follow my dreams as Walt would say! Needless to say the packing has been on back burner sort of I have everything I purchased in a bag and bought some new packing cubes. Tomorrow is packing day!!

The best thing I have gotten for my trip are these shoes...

My sister bought them for me from my birthday. They are from Zachary Connelly Art and I love them. I cannot wait to wear them in just FIVE DAYS!!!

 

[MissMaryQC]

LOVE the shoes!! I'd be so afraid to ruin them, but at the same time I really want pair!

5 DAYS!!! Wow, I bet you're psyched! Travel safe. Can't wait to see photos in the TR!

 

[Luvchefmic]

I HATE the shoes



































because they aren't MINE


What a wonderful gift your sister got you The person did an awesome job Be careful when you meet our buddy he likes to collect these kind of things
