Welcome! Yeah, where HAVE you've been?

The trip actually does not seem real yet. Sounds dumb, I know.

 

[MyMuse]

I came home today to find some Mickey Mail!

I was completely surprised to find Magical Express vouchers and luggage tags!

Since I was taking a photos, I made sure to get a pic of binder with the cover I made a couple of weeks ago:

More things done! Yipee!

I don't think I can do anymore tonight, will have to continue after the gym tomorrow. I'm trying to get some "last chance workouts" in before I leave. Tomorrow night is Kick Box class.

Love the binder!

 

[MyMuse]

Love the binder!

Thank you!

I just told Jenna about it the other day. She thought I had put a picture of her on the front. LOL!

Now, of course, I have to do that.

 

[MyMuse]

Ok - 2 days to go!

Last night, I did a bit of shopping at Party City & Dollar Tree (and Micheals, but I did not find anything there).

I wanted to pick up little things to give Jenna along the way. I stole the idea from jenseib from her TR.

From Party City, I got:
Aurora/Sleeping Beauty necklace
Princesses' earrings and rings (packet had Aurora in it along with the others)
Little cookie with Aurora on it
Disney Birthday Princess ribbon/button

From Dollar Tree, I got:
Princesses mini-puzzle (2)
Magic Towels (Princess & Mickey)
Non-Disney little travel journal (has a girl with red hair just like Jenna!)
Mini gel pens to use for the journal
Surprise Bag!

Here's a pic:

I will also stop in my local bakery tomorrow after work and pick up an Aurora cupcake. We are having brunch at our diner before we leave for the airport, so I'll give it to her then with a nifty candle.

Meanwhile, I have to finish organizing packing & make sure the troops have their luggage ready. I am still not sure whether we will use the luggage tags or just get our luggage since we land at 7:30pm.

The only thing really stressing me is the cake hotline. I can't believe that it has been a week & 3 messages and no one has called me back for my order.

Onward!

Thank you!

She likes Tink as well but it is more about Aurora/Sleeping Beauty.

Now, if I can just get the darn cake finished, then I'll be happy! LOL!

 

[jenseib]

I love your gift ideas! It's so fun to do!
I hope you get that cake ordered. maybe try calling dining line and see if they can help or switch you to someone who can.

 

[MyMuse]

I am so giddy, I cannot explain! I feel like crying since I know she will remember this forever. I wish my mom was here to see it. *sniffle*

Due to great DISers, I got the F! dinner package and 1900 Park Faire. For that, I thank you very very much.

This special celebration could not be done without (all of) you.

Thanks to you!

I keep calling, punch in for the Epcot area and just get voicemail. I already left 3 messages. It's very frustrating. I think I may just give up or maybe they will call 48 hours before. Why it says to call 2 weeks ahead, I don't know.

No one on the cake chatter thread has any other experience (other than my own...or worse) with the Epcot area. So strange, since it has all those fab restaraunt and its also in the Boardwalk area. One would think they would be on top of it all.

In any case, Jenna will not mind that she doesn't have a custom cake. She'll be so goggly-eyed anyways. She doesn't know about much of the itinerary.

 

[jenseib]

Sounds great. You guys will have so much fun. Take lots of pictures!

I am so giddy, I cannot explain! I feel like crying since I know she will remember this forever & look back with great fondness. I wish my mom was here to see it. *sniffle*

Due to great DISers, I received the F! dinner package, 1900 Park Faire and Chef Mickey's. As well as great ideas for a memorable trip. For that, I thank you very very much.

[jenseib]

Awesome!

 

[MyMuse]

The cake is ordered!!! I got a call back a few minutes ago.

I'm so glad this is done before we leave. Thankfully, the cast members was very personable and the call lasted almost 22 minutes!!!

I was even able to have a Plan A & B order in, since the cake choices are very limited. If the chef says no to the A order, she will call me back and let me know, we will be served the B order cake.

After work today, I'll pick up a Sleeping Beauty cupcake for brunch tomorrow before the plane & as well as the surprise bag.

1 more day!!!

 

[dawnbu40]

I'm glad the cake order worked out for you!
Have a great time!
