first so glad you are safe w/ the storms and floods...

house is the house sale going?

love the shopping pic's I have ordered from both those sites in the past. Love the little Ariel baby crocs...too cute. I'll need to get some new crocs for my crew too for this summer and then they can wear again for the trip

I bought the same Princess crossword puzzle book at Target too for the girls-plane and funny the Kellogs Disney fruit snacks were on sale at the grocery store today w/ a $1.00 off coupon too...yes I just bought fruit snacks for November

Can't say on the shirts from Disney...except I am generally safe w/ a ladies Medium and have not had much shrinkage issues, the girls sizes are all over though the size chart of what actually fits.

 

[wdwgirl03]

Thank you!! Hmm. . . So what size do you normally wear? Did you have to size up?!

Usually when I get t-shirts from WDW I am fine with a men's small. Since the women's ones are a little slimmer fitting I didn't want it TOO tight which is why I went with the XL. Plus I am always afraid they will shrink in the wash!

Glad to hear that you and your family are safe and sound after the scary weather last weekend! We saw a lot of flooding up here in RI about a month ago. Water damage really can be devastating!

What a cute shopping update - great finds! I love the Cinderella tee you bought, too funny! And I've never seen those princess crocs before, are they a new line? I'm sure you have some adorable matching outfits in the works!

This is going back a few months I'm sure, but you shared a picture of some super cute Minnie and Mickey coffee mugs a while back. Do you happen to remember where you found those? I tried looking at the Disney store online..they had similar ones but not quite as cute. I was thinking of getting them as an anniversary gift for my sister and her husband - they are big Disney fans!

Thank you!! I'm very thankul that we didn't have any damage! Yes, the princess Crocs are new--just look in the Girls section at crocs.com--they only have them in Toddler sizes though. Yes, the coffee mugs were from the Disney Store--my mom bought them for us for Christmas. Do you have one close to you?

Becky, I noticed at our Wal-mart, that they had some BAMA shirts with Mickey Mouse. I wanted one, but all they had left were some XS and S.

Aww man! Yeah, our Walmart only has ugly orange team shirts--what's up with that?! I would have been in luck at your store--I wear a small!!

Everyone is ok, but I saw a photo today of the funeral home my family uses in Millington almost up to the eaves in water. Reminds me of post-Katrina New Orleans. This is going to take a long time to clean up. I am surprised it's not getting disaster funding.

Yes, Millington looks awful! I couldn't believe it when I saw the pics!

We had 3 showings the first week but the weekends have been a bust with all or the rain/flooding/tornadoes. So hopefully it will be nice this weekend. Thanks for asking!!

Hey--it's all good buying fruit snacks early!! That's a great deal and they don't go bad!!

Thanks!! That helps!!

Today I decided to head back to Target to get some necessities for our trip!! Take a look!

I bought:
ziplock bags (for snacks)
sunscreen (definitely a must for our pastey white family)
swim diapers for Claire
4 different kinds of Crystal Light (my favorite: peach tea, Brent's favorite: cherry limeade, Ally's favorite: pink lemonade--found this different brand in the $1 section, Claire's favorite: apple juice)--I will order bottled water from the Garden Grocer!

This is off topic but Brent's painting our Master Bedroom tonight!! It was this really dark green (feels like a cave in our room) and Brent is painting it a light blue! We are decorating in blues and browns! Take a look at the color difference!!

**Also, is there anything major that I missed with being gone a month?! I read that Ariel's Grotto was closed but that Toontown was still open. And that the "Up" characters are gone from HS (May 1st) and that Toy Story 3 characters had taken their place?! Anything else?!

 

[BippityBoo]

I LOVE peach tea You have great taste haha

Your rooms looks GREAT blue!! My hubby is an excellent painter too! We are so lucky!! My house is all creams, tans, browns and antique blues. Love it! Post a pic when you are finished.

I am sorry that you are missing out on the UP characters, but how cool to see Toy Story 3 characters!! Hope they have the Ken and Barbie

Thanks!! It sounds like we have the same taste in colors!! I know!! Brent is so meticulous with his painting so I'm always very happy how it turns out! Brent painted Ally's room pink and is going to paint Claire's room as well.

Oooh--it would be fun to have Ken & Barbie!! I'll be interested in seeing who will be there!!

Even shopping for "necessities" is more fun when they're for Disney!! We are such Crystal Light drinkers-- a cheap way to make water so much yummier! I feel you on the sunscreen-- I go through a spray bottle every two weeks in the summer. If I'm not careful, I BURN within minutes.
Hmmm, I can't think of anything else major changing.
Love the new bedroom color-- that blue is so cheerful!

 

[bellebookworm9]

Totally understand about the sunscreen- my mom managed to find SPF 80. I was very sad to hear the UP characters will be gone. I heard they are being replaced with Lotso, the new bear. Ariel is supposedly going to be in Adventureland (with legs) and joined by Prince Eric.

Here's a link to the upcoming changes.

SPF 80?! WOW!! Didn't know that even existed!! Oh my goodness!! That link is awesome!! Thank you!! Ally will be sooo excited to meet Ariel AND Prince Eric!! What's the Veranda they're referring to?!

She got it from a store called Ollie's-I think it's a discount store. The veranda is immediately to your right as you cross the Adventureland bridge from the hub.

 

[leamom2princesses]

More great shopping Becky! Thanks on the dress I made too.

 

[Dancegrl624]

Love the color of your new bedroom...so pretty! Our bedroom is blue too!! Like someone else posted...the Veranda is to the right as you cross over the bridge to Adventureland. If you need another reference, it's next to my favorite snack place...Aloha Isle!!!

 

[Charlefours]

Gotta love when you start shopping for the essentials--you know the trip is getting so close! I love the drink mixers, we like to travel with them too.

Our bedroom is blue as well, but a different shade (think Caribbean ocean blue) with brown and splashes of orange.

We'll be in Magic Kingdom Saturday, so we'll put up pictures on FB of anything we see going on. Somebody had a video of the loooong wall that now runs from Ariel's Grotto to the entrance of Toontown.

Hi Becky,
Wow you have had a busy month! The weather last weekend was horrendous, glad your family stayed safe and praying for the families that have their homes flooded . I love the crocs and all the stuff you picked up for the trip. Also those Giraffe dresses from Gymbo are so adorable! I offered to buy Kaylee one last month for our AK day but she said no sadly. Sounds like you are getting so much done in your new house and I love the blue color your painting your room. Our new house is boring beige right now and I can't wait to paint the bedrooms. Unfortunately my hubby is not very good at painting how convenient. So I will be doing all the work. Your trip is getting so close and I'm looking forward to reading your TR!

Hi Becky!

Here is a list of May refurbs at WDW..
http://allears.net/tp/rehabs.htm#may

I don't think a lot of them will affect your trip

And btw have you seen this on the web today?!
Talking Mickey meet & greet being tried out in Disneyland Toontown!!

http://www.**************.net/2010/...ng-of-new-interactive-disney-meet-and-greets/


Love your latest purchases for the trips - your daughters must be some of the best dressed girls in WDW!

Btw is Crystal Light like a water flavouring? we don't have anything like that here, we do drink 'squash' though which is a concentrated fruit juice/sugar syrup that we put in water to flavour it

[mousescrapper]

Love the color change...

and I am w/ Brent on the cherry limade flavor YUM! have not seen the Target brand before...let us know if it tastes good
