I LOVE this update!
The outfits are all SO cute!!
It is really fun to see all of them together by days like that. Great idea!
It really does look fun. There is no way my husband will let me dress him. I keep showing him things I see that I think he will like and he's like... "um. no." Dang it!
I'm not doing much for myself either though. Still haven't even thought of myself except for some shoes and maybe one or two ideas for shirts.
You are so inspiring with all of your craftiness!
And you are all going to look awesome!

I love, love, love it all - it is all super fantastic!!!! You have done an amazing job pulling everything together, and the girls are going to look adorable as usual! I am having a hard time picking a favorite - but I do have a few... I adore the rompers that Lori made, she nailed those right out of the park! And I also adore the HDDR outfits... The shoes you made are fantabulous! And the hair bows... Squee! Can't forget the necklaces... Did Erin make those? It's all adorable! I cannot wait to see all of them in action! D~

I have a hard time picking a favorite too!! The rompers are the bees knees though!! My necklaces come from my local bow lady! I am thinking if getting some more, they're only $10!

 

[Denovagirl]

AWESOME!!!!! I love everything as always! And I am sooooooooo excited to see a couple of these outfits in person!!!! You do make me feel like a slacker though!!!! I still have some shirts to make and I am working on getting everything packed up in the Ziploc bags! We have outfit changes almost every day and I don't want to be looking for pieces in the hotel room!!! (trying to stay organized....) Planning for next years trip!!!!! wish I was. I think I will have to do every other........ (maybe just mom and I can fit one in

You are the exact opposite of a slacker! You've worked very hard on your trip for 2 years!! And all the OT = Disney $$$!!!!

Ziplocks are wonderful! We reuse a lot do shorts so I am not putting outfits in them, but I am using them for accesories and I always carry one or two in my park bag for various things!

 

[Denovagirl]

oh my gosh! everything looks awesome! you all are going to be so cute (well, you and the girls...i'm sure DH doesn't want to look "cute", right? ) you did a great job with everything!

Thank you!! YOU are a BIG part of us looking cute! Couldn't have done without ya!! <3

 

[Denovagirl]

Oh my Giddy Aunt! You are all going to be SOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!! I don't have a favorite. as i was scrolling i kept saying Ohh that's my favorite.. Oh wait... No THAT'S my favorite.. I really do love them all.. The girls are going to look SO ADORABLE!!! you did a fantastic job. Now are you going to decorate your MB's??? time to start thinking on them!!!

Thanks!! Lol... And heck yes I'm decorating them! I think I'm gonna go for painting them with acrylic and then sealing with nail polish. Can't wait!!! What are you doing with yours!! Gotta be hard to sneak that work in, huh? I can't wait to see!

 

[Denovagirl]

All the outfits are amazing. I love them! I really like the shoes too. Did you make any for yourself?

I did make myself some kissing Mickey & Minnie shoes, however I'm not taking them to Disney, with all my foot issues I need a much more supportive shoe there!

 

[Denovagirl]

Okay, seriously love all the outfits!!! And how stinkin' cute is Maddie in her lambie costume??!!! I hope you planned for lots of stops in your touring plan because i think lots of people will stop and ask about your outfits! I have found that Walgreens almost always has just the Disney clings I want for any given season. You might want to try there if you have one reasonably close by. You have such amazing luck finding just the right thing in just the right sizes I feel certain the clings will be no different. You're getting close!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

Walgreens! Yes! You're right, they always have disney themed stuff! There's one about a minute from my house, they haven't put Halloween stuff out yet but in a couple weeks after school starts it'll be out so I'll have to check in!

I am getting closer! 45 days!!

 

[Denovagirl]

I love all of your outfits! They are so cute! The costumes are perfect! Nice and cool and comfortable,but you can clearly see who you are supposed to be! I love everything!

Thank you!! And a HUGE thank you for providing those wonderful shirts! I cannot wait to get a main at USA pic wearing them with all the fall decor around!! It's going to be PERFECT!

And yes! That's totally what I was aiming for with the costumes and I'm so happy with how they turned out, I can't wait for the party!!

 

[Denovagirl]

Love the outfits! They are amazing and will make for some really cute character interactions. So excited for your cute pics in your trip report.

Thank you!! I sure hope so! That reminds me that I wanted to make "name tag" buttons for the girls on the days their shirts don't have their names on them...it's so nice when the characters "know" their names. and it may be odd but I'm actually really excited to write another TR! I am already planning on how to do my notes better and taking more photos and stuff this year! Plus I plan I do a trip video too!!

Thanks!

I agree you guys do!! How much fun would an adult only trip be?!?! Chris and I have talked about doing California/Disneyland trip just the 2 of us .. Lol...

Yay! It really is flying by! I can't wait! Are you driving to Raina's?

Thank you! Hahaha, honestly I fully expected Chris to be totally against dressing up! That is sooo his personality! But for some reason when in Disney all bets are off and that's the one place he can just be goofy and a kid again! I still am amazed that I got to pick his outfits for every single day this trip!! Lol... Part of it's probably him not having to think and pack himself too...

 

[Denovagirl]

Good afternoon all!!

Sorry I didn't get to posting this fun stuff yesterday, but as I mentioned we received some very fun mail on Monday and I can't wait to show you!!

The very talented Tess (Iamthequeen) blessed my kiddos with some super-sweet pixie dust and made them these AWESOME pillow cases to collect autographs on!!

Obviously, the kids were so excited they could hardly hold still for a photo!!

​

Could these BE any cuter!?!? We LOVE them!! And Olivia was so excited to send some pixie dust back, so she's been working on a little project today too, no pictures though, to keep the surprise!

Also, in more exciting news, we only have 13 days left to customize our Magic Bands, which means they'll be on their way soon, and I got this email today!

​

We all know I have had that thing customized, and shipping adress double checked since basically day one, lol, so not much to do, but still, very exciting to get that email and know that I am getting so CLOSE!

On the stuff to do front... not much left really. Packing, which I have to wait to do, painting MBs, which I have to wait to do, and hopefully getting that BOG FP+, which, you guessed it, I have to wait to do!

It's a waiting game at this stage, folks, and it's HARD! I kid you not, I finally checked out the "See Ya Reel Soon" videos on youtube last week, and I have already finished them!!! I need more things to pass the time, lol..

I did order my shoes, and they should be here on or before Monday viz FedEx, so that is exciting. I am also thinking it's nearly time for me to get more Mickey mail, I already got my luggage tags for the ME, but I didn't get the decorative tags and the voucher book yet, so those should be here soon.

I also still need to print off my daily cards for the parks, but I am holding off until right before our trip, in case of any changes! I really haven't been changing much, but I have been adding more notes, like more Dis people that will be in the parks the same days and such...

Oh, and I really need to figure out what we are taking on the plane ride... I packed to much last time, and I think I want to minimize this time, so far I really only have two things for the girls:

​

And I am actually thinking of leaving their tablets at home. They really weigh the bags down, and they didn't use them but for a couple of minutes last time, and honestly our flights are so early I expect Maddie, at least, to snooze through a lot of it. I think I am just gonna pack those little things, some little crayons, and an extra snack.

Also, I have really hammered out our departure day plans a lot more too. So basically, Chris gets off work about 4pm, right before traffic time, ugh. The plan is, of course, to have everything already packed and ready to go in my jeep. He'll get off and change here at the house, and then we will head to San Antonio to his mom's house, where we will be leaving our car, and load all our stuff into her van! Then we will probably find somewhere to eat some dinner, we'd rather wait until Austin, but I don't think we can wait that long too eat, and we might as will let some traffic die down.

Then, once in Austin I expect it to be around 8-9ish and really we need to just check in to our room for the night and crash. This is going to be nearly impossible, because we will be so excited, but we MUST try, because just a blink away it will be 3am, and wake up time!

We always do well with early morning wake ups, I can pretty much guarantee you that we will be out of there and on our way to breakfast before 3:30am, and good news, there's a Waffle House (I LOOOOOOOVE and there are ZERO in SA) on the way to the airport so we are stopping for a sit down meal! Bahahaha, I know you must think I am nuts to sit down and eat at 3:30am, but the airport we are using is quite small and will not be crowded at all so early, and theres like no place that will be open inside yet to eat, and we have to make it all the way to Orlando and to POP before we will have the chance to have a meal again! So maybe 12:30pm at best, so we're eating there! I am pretty excited for Waffle House actually! Good coffee to wake me up!

Then, finally, we will be at the airport by 4:30 for our 5:30am flight! Off to Disney at last! As soon as we get to POP the plan is, if our rooms ready, to drop our stuff, if not to check it, then go to HS!! We may eat at POP if everyone's hungry, or if we are just ready to get to HS we may just wait and grab a snack there. We shall see on that! Then the true test starts as we stay out late to close down HS after!

What do y'all think?

Getting so close!!! 45 DaYs TiL DiSnEy!i!i!

Thank you and I completely agree with everything you said about our trips not coming soon enough!!

Those pillow cases are perfect. I especially love the way Mickey looks on his! Your little ones are so adorable; they look so much alike, too!

I'm with you: I had those magic bands figured out right away. I'm getting a red one for my AP, but I'm thinking I'll get blue for my Pop stay and then switch them out at check in. Then I would have had pink (beautiful!), green (liked it, but not as much as the pink), red (go Cards!), and blue!

What are the "See Ya Reel Soon" videos?

Mmmm, Waffle House. Sounds like a great plan to me!

I know! I loooove the pillow cases! Such a sweet surprise!

I really would have liked pink for my MB, but I liked the way the primary colors looked all togther! Lol... I am weird like that!


The videos! It's a couple, Joe & Ashley, and the do video blogs of all their Disney trips! And they go a LOT! I love them, each video is like 15-30 min and it really makes you feel like youre AT WDW!! Go to youtube and serach "seeyareelsoon"

Love the Pixie Dust from Tess - she did the same thing for my girls and they are SOOOO excited to get their autographs, especially after how awesome V's pillowcase turned out last year. It's such a FUN thing to do and a great memory to have!

Never eaten at Waffle House - we drove by TONS of them enroute to TN, but never actually stopped. Enjoy though...

I don't think we'll be stopping anywhere for breakfast this time? For once, we are flying out of the BIG airport - so pleanty to nom-nom on there. And I am planning my FIRST splurge of the trip (which I've been having too much of recently)... Starbucks... If Alli didn't work there - I swear I would never go... but darn it - she puts hearts on my cup.

But our flights are much the same... we arrive at 11:30 am, just in time to have lunch - and I am sure we will be starving!
