Welcome, Foolish Mortals...to an October 2011 PTR! *Trip Report link is up, pg 71!!*

I was at Old Navy today and also saw the pink Mickey shirt on the clearance, but didn't get it. I have actually been to Old Navy twice in the last two weeks and have seen it both times, but I have resisted. But now that I know someone else has it, I want it

Love the Vera bag! I never actually heard of the brand until I joined the DIS last year. We don't have any stores here in Minnesota . How big is the hipster? I guess I will have to wait until your TR to see the size of it when you are wearing it.

 

[Mrs T 2009]

awesome purchases!

love your 10lbs purchase! It's so pretty! and it'll go great with all the fall decor that is at disney when you go

 

[klacey1]

You got some cute stuff!! I saw the evil queen t-shirt when we were in the city at the Disney store-- I totally agree with you, that color is so nice! Very fall-ish!

 

[amazingact21]

That Evil shirt is awesome! And it'll blend in perfectly during Halloween.
Personally, hipsters are my favorite kind of bag to take into the parks. To me, they are just easier to carry around and seem to get in the way a lot less than regular bags. And the one you got is adorable! I love the purple/orange color combination.

I wish I could see all your cute new buys right now, but I will just have to settle for using my imagination. I am sure they are all lovely. congrats on the weight loss. So funny about the 24/7 Disney music. I don't know whether it helps or makes the wait seem more torturous!

Either way - you are going to have a fabulous trip and I might just have to take a stop at the Disney store if they have some cute/inexpensive T's.

 

[TarzansKat]

Exactly....it gets rather hot at 11am in Florida... and if a nice cooling icy drink just happens to have alcohol in it?.....

....EVEN BETTER!

Agreed! Although, I'm not much of a drinker, but I like the idea of having an adult slushie at 11:00 in the morning, just because I can!

Yes! Go !

 

[TarzansKat]

Love the trip shopping! Cute, cute, cute shirts, especially Mickey and the Queen.

And I think that Hipster is a lovely celebratory gift! I love to carry a Hipster on vacation, for me, it's just the right size for the amount of stuff I like to have.

 

[TanzUnited99]

on treating yourself with the VB bag!! I love it and all the colours - that is going to look soo nice on your trip with all the halloween decorations!

I love all your purchases - yay on paying $7 for the pink Old Navy top - what a bargain! The swim suit cover up is cute and I love, love, love the More Queen than Evil shirt! What a great buy! I think that will be an excellent choice for MNSSHP if you do not dress up

 

[DisneyCrafter]

I really like your hipster! I have one that I got last year that I plan on using again this year. I want to find another across the shoulder bag in a more neutral color for this trip, too. Just so it matches with more outfits.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Those shirts are adorable!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Cute shirts. They really had a Mickey one at Old Navy?! That's awesome!

I also LOVE your new hipster. All of VB's new fall colors were really pretty. The Safari Sunset was my second favorite, right after Plum Petals (love purple!).

 

[KatMark]

Great purchases, Jen. Love the Mickey shirt.

And I love the reward you bought yourself.

 

[jenbear123]

Oh what cute shirts!! I love shopping for upcoming trips. Everyone seems to be finding amazing stuff on the Disney store website. I think I will go take a gander! And CONGRATS on the weight loss. You're going to look fab in all those new clothes

 

[pinkxray]

I love your new bag and all off your shirts. I want to go to the Disney store when you go sometime. I have told Caitlin I will take her but don't want to drive all that way myself. Maybe sometime before school starts?

I am guessing you know that we might not be going to WDW in Oct. after all. I swear Caitlin is the biggest blabber mouth ever. I haven't booked anything yet or changed flights so I didn't want to say anything yet. I think Caitlin has told everyone we know already though.

You better take a bunch of pictures at AP. The menu looked so good when I was there.

 

[Nermel9]

I LOVE your reward purchase!!! You are going to love the hipster for being in the parks. In my opinion, it is the perfect park bag. And that pattern is so pretty! That is going to look beautiful with all the fall decor!

Thanks! I'm excited to try the Hipster, last year I almost got one, then decided it was too big. So I got a mini Hipster instead, and it was way too small...I need something bigger this year! I love the colors, I like purple and orange together, and it works out that they are nice Fall colors!

Yay for being 72 days away! I have 334!!! lol

I LOVE the shirts you got at Old Navy! I wish I could go clothes shopping but I just can't afford it since I'm the only one working right now. Your cover up is really cute too, and I LOVE your Vera Bradley bag! Beautiful colors!

And I agree with you about the Yoga pants...I have a pair I got from Old Navy last year and I wear them so much they're literally starting to fall apart. I went onto their website to try and order another pair or two, but of course they don't have any in my size. They're the capris style and so comfortable...I wish I bought more last year! If you find any like that, let me know where!

And I totally do laundry on vacation so I can wear at least my capris more than once....and I pack my suitcase to capacity with shirts because I never like what I put on the first time...I'll change my outfit 2 or 3 times before we even leave the room for the day!

So I officially started WW again yesterday (although without meetings...just tracking points on my own) and my Dad decided to treat us to dinner at Joey Garlics (I don't remember where in CT you are so you may not know what I'm talking about)...I think I went over by about 10 points. I did pretty well today though, but I didn't do my cardio and I really should have. Maybe tomorrow....

334 days??? Ugh! I'd never survive!

Haha, I can't really afford going clothes shopping either, but every single thing I bought (well, with the exception of the VB bag and the new Disney shirt) was on sale. I also found some shorts I'm going to order from Victoria's Secret on sale also, so I should be done shopping!

I love the Old Navy yoga capris, the ones with the pockets? I live in mine! Those are the ones I want for Disney, they are so comfy! I noticed they are out of them in certain sizes online, but I'm sure they will get more soon!

I always change in the middle of the day, since we park hop and take a break, I just feel gross if I don't change, and I don't have enough clothes to make it through the whole trip without repeating a shirt or two!

I'm doing so bad with exercise this week. It's just too hot. I've been taking walks at work, but that's it. I might do a DVD in the air conditioning today, OR try to do the elliptical with the fan blasting on me, but I doubt it! Let me know how your first weigh in goes!

LOVE the new Evil Queen tee! I agree, there are a lot of cute new tees on DisneyStore.com... I may need to do some shopping myself!

Isn't the Evil Queen tee awesome! I really didn't want to get any more Disney shirts for this trip, but I think I need one or two more, they're all so cute!

Oh my gosh I LOVE LOVE LOVE that evil queen shirt, that is perfect for MNSSHP!!! I havent seen that one before either!

I like that Vera bag a lot, I might need to try one out for our trip potentially

I think it would be so much fun to meet the Evil Queen wearing that shirt! You can meet her at MNSSHP right?

I know a lot of people on the DIS like the Hipsters for Disney trips. I thought they seemed a little big, but I'm not going to put a lot of stuff in it, so it's not too heavy, you should try one!

Oh, oh, great purchases!

I love all of the shirts. You know, I bit the bullet and bought shorts, which I normally don't wear, for the trip I just got back from, and I am so happy that I did. It was so hot outside.

Thanks! I hate wearing shorts, I'm going to try to avoid it and just wear capris, but if it's too hot, I'll wear shorts and deal with it I guess! I don't want to be hot, and I'm not sure what to expect in October!

I was at Old Navy today and also saw the pink Mickey shirt on the clearance, but didn't get it. I have actually been to Old Navy twice in the last two weeks and have seen it both times, but I have resisted. But now that I know someone else has it, I want it

Love the Vera bag! I never actually heard of the brand until I joined the DIS last year. We don't have any stores here in Minnesota . How big is the hipster? I guess I will have to wait until your TR to see the size of it when you are wearing it.

LOL, go get that shirt before it's gone! I liked it when I got it a few months ago for my sister, but I don't wear a lot of pink, so I didn't get one for myself, but when I saw it for $7, I figured why not?

Hmmm...I'm not sure how big the Hipster is, I think if you go on the VB website it will tell you the measurements! Or just look through some random TR's, a lot of people use them and have them on in their pics! I love the pattern I got! We only have one actual VB store in CT, but they sell them in most Hallmark stores, that's where I got this one!

 

[Nermel9]

awesome purchases!

love your 10lbs purchase! It's so pretty! and it'll go great with all the fall decor that is at disney when you go

Thanks!

I love the VB pattern, there were a few I really liked before the Fall colors came out, but I didn't love them like this one! I love purple!

You got some cute stuff!! I saw the evil queen t-shirt when we were in the city at the Disney store-- I totally agree with you, that color is so nice! Very fall-ish!

Thanks! The Evil Queen tee is so cute! I'm glad it's a different color than gray, I feel like every time I get a Disney shirt, it's gray!

That Evil shirt is awesome! And it'll blend in perfectly during Halloween.
Personally, hipsters are my favorite kind of bag to take into the parks. To me, they are just easier to carry around and seem to get in the way a lot less than regular bags. And the one you got is adorable! I love the purple/orange color combination.

Thanks! I will probably wear that Evil Queen shirt to an MNSSHP, although, they have a really cute Jack and Sally that I want now!

I'm glad you like the Hipster, it seems like a very popular choice for the parks! I love my Coach crossbody, but it's just a little too small. I can't wait to actually use it!

I wish I could see all your cute new buys right now, but I will just have to settle for using my imagination. I am sure they are all lovely. congrats on the weight loss. So funny about the 24/7 Disney music. I don't know whether it helps or makes the wait seem more torturous!

Either way - you are going to have a fabulous trip and I might just have to take a stop at the Disney store if they have some cute/inexpensice T's.

Haha, I hope you liked everything that I bought in your imagination!

I love listening to Disney music, but I think I might cut myself off in September, so it will all be new to me again when we are there! I seriously listen to it every single day...

Love the trip shopping! Cute, cute, cute shirts, especially Mickey and the Queen.

And I think that Hipster is a lovely celebratory gift! I love to carry a Hipster on vacation, for me, it's just the right size for the amount of stuff I like to have.

Thanks!

Yay I'm glad you like the Hipster! It seems a little big, I'm afraid I'm might stuff too many things in there and make it really heavy, but I'll try not to!

on treating yourself with the VB bag!! I love it and all the colours - that is going to look soo nice on your trip with all the halloween decorations!

I love all your purchases - yay on paying $7 for the pink Old Navy top - what a bargain! The swim suit cover up is cute and I love, love, love the More Queen than Evil shirt! What a great buy! I think that will be an excellent choice for MNSSHP if you do not dress up

Thanks! I'm so glad they came out with this pattern, it's perfect for me, I love purple and orange!

I will most likely wear the Evil Queen shirt to one of the Halloween parties we do, if we end up doing 2 like I want to do! I'm still not 100% sure I want to dress up anyway, so I need something Halloween-y to wear!

 

[jenneth79]

I'm not even a fan of VB and I simply adore that bag! Maybe I need to give the company another shot... the pattern is lovely. Then again, maybe I shouldn't..... my checking account might suffer.

Also, I really like those shirts, especially the EQ one! New Vinylmation comes out tomorrow, but I have sworn that will be my absolutely LAST shopping experience on the online Disney store before our trip!

 

[Nermel9]

I really like your hipster! I have one that I got last year that I plan on using again this year. I want to find another across the shoulder bag in a more neutral color for this trip, too. Just so it matches with more outfits.

Thanks! Wow, so many of you like using the Hipster, I'm so glad!

For me, purple is a neutral color! Seriously, I wear so much purple, so I'm not really worrying about it not going with anything I wear! And I wear a lot of gray too, so that shouldn't be a problem!

Those shirts are adorable!

Thanks!

Cute shirts. They really had a Mickey one at Old Navy?! That's awesome!

I also LOVE your new hipster. All of VB's new fall colors were really pretty. The Safari Sunset was my second favorite, right after Plum Petals (love purple!).

They always have Disney shirts at Old Navy! They have a new one now that is blue and says I <3 Mickey! It's cute, but I already have a Mickey and Minnie shirt in the same color, so I'm not going to get it! They also have Disney shirts at Target!

Thanks! I thought about getting the Plum Petals, because purple is my favorite color, but I thought the Safari Sunset was more Fall-like, I love the orange in it!

Great purchases, Jen. Love the Mickey shirt.

And I love the reward you bought yourself.

Thanks! I can't wait to use my reward! I probably should have saved that for 20 or 30 pounds, but I was afraid that pattern might sell out by then, so I had to get it! My 20 and 30 pound rewards will most likely be a little less expensive!

Oh what cute shirts!! I love shopping for upcoming trips. Everyone seems to be finding amazing stuff on the Disney store website. I think I will go take a gander! And CONGRATS on the weight loss. You're going to look fab in all those new clothes

Thanks! Did you look on Disneystore.com yet? They have so many new cute things! I really didn't want to buy anymore, but it's going to be hard not to!

I love your new bag and all off your shirts. I want to go to the Disney store when you go sometime. I have told Caitlin I will take her but don't want to drive all that way myself. Maybe sometime before school starts?

I am guessing you know that we might not be going to WDW in Oct. after all. I swear Caitlin is the biggest blabber mouth ever. I haven't booked anything yet or changed flights so I didn't want to say anything yet. I think Caitlin has told everyone we know already though.

You better take a bunch of pictures at AP. The menu looked so good when I was there.

Thanks! I'll go to the Disney Store whenever, just let me know.

Haha, Caitlin told me you were going on a cruise the other day and I asked her if you were still doing Disney and she said "I think so" so I thought she meant you were going on a cruise next year! I can't believe you're doing that, that is going to be so much fun! I really have to think about doing one in May, instead of Disney, maybe take a little break after this trip!

I'll try to take pics at AP, but I feel so stupid taking pictures of food! I'll try to do it when no one is looking! It does look so good, I can't wait to eat there!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

LOVE the Vera hipster!! My parents actually got me a Vera hipster for my birthday that I'm planning to use as a park bag too! (Mine looks a teensy bit smaller than yours, with a longer strap, or maybe that's just the picture lol) I think that they will make great park bags (I usually use one of those "string" backpacks, but the straps dig into my shoulders after a bit and I get entirely sick of not having pockets )

Love your other purchases too!

 

[TarzansKat]

The hipster isn't heavy with my stuff in it. I usually carry a tube of Nuetrogena sunblock, my wallet, cell phone, a compact, gloss...oh, and my camera. And honestly, of all the bags I could wear, I think I feel the most "light" with the hipster, probably because I'm wearing it across myself. Test it out at home, and see how your stuff fits.
