I had a dream about riding Toy Story Midway Mania last night! That's how you know you're excited about going to Disney World!!!

I have dreams about riding Space Mountain and I don't get to go for an indefinite period of time. I'm SO jealous.

WHat's Toy Story Midway Mania?

Thanks! I love making things pretty. I do it all the time with everything. DBF makes fun of me for spending so long playing wit clipart and fonts and colors on everything. I even do it on worksheets I make for my students. They like to make fun of me also! Although, they learn rather quickly that they can't turn in anything art-project wise (we do a lot of drawing/projects in history) unless it's pretty. They'll hand me something un-colored and I'll just look at it and they'll say "I know, I know. Make it pretty right?" You got it!

You can tell you make things pretty and you do it very well!

Haha. Ok, so I guess it's not just when you're going to Disney! (You have to talk your DBF into going back!)

Toy Story Midway Mania is the new ride they just opened at DHS. I haven't even ridden it yet and I'm dreaming about it!

Thank you for the compliment. It's more that I just like things colorful and hate plain white space. It's so boring otherwise!

Here's the video I made from our pictures from the P&PP trip. This is what I was working on yesterday. I finally got it to upload to YouTube. I hate how crappy it looks there. It looks so nice on the computer and TV. Oh well. It is YouTube. I had to put it as 3 different parts.

I had a dream about riding Toy Story Midway Mania last night! That's how you know you're excited about going to Disney World!!!

OK, that is too funny because I had a dream that I got to ride Toy Story Mania right before we left too (and obviously I had not ridden it yet either since it wasn't even officially open)!! I'm glad I'm not the only one!

2 days until you actually do get to ride TSM!!

Haha. Me too!!!

I had so much I wanted to do today and none of it got done. I wasn't home all day. I wanted to take some pics of my projects (at least the ones that are done.). Now, I have a lot to do tomorrow. It's going to be a busy day...

On top of all the other things I have to do tomorrow I have to go to school for a meeting. A meeting that I need to be present at for only 10 minutes but will probably have to stay the whole 3 hours (or more, even though I'm hoping not!). Argh.

In 36 hours I will be on my way!!!!

 

[irky416]

Ok, most projects are actually done. Here they all are.

For my park bag:

Here's the luggage tags I made. They have my name on it, but I blacked out my real name on the computer. In person, they don't have a huge black spot on them.

And the other side of the luggage tags. (Again, I blacked out my phone number.)

My penny container and one side of the card I made that has all the hours and info. for each park on it. This way, we have all options and info. available to us if we want to park hop.

The other side of the park info. card and my ADR card. Again, I blacked out times and confirmation numbers.

We got a brand new waterproof digital camera. It's really for the cruise, but we got it in time to take it to Disney and try it out in the pool.

One of the shirts I made:

Another shirt I made:

And the bag I made in hopes I won't feel too silly getting character autographs!

I have one more shirt to make for DSis. Projects are mostly done. I have to print out confirmation stuff for the condo. I have to charge everything (cameras, DS, iPod, cell phone). I finally pre-ordered our Photopass. I think after that, stuff is mostly done. We checked in with Southwest this morning and got A boarding passes!

Then, all I have left to do is pack. I LOVE packing! I wish I could do it professionally. I think it's the organizer in me. Even though it will take me three times as long as DBF to actually get it done. I can never decide what clothes I want to take.

We leave tomorrow!!!! At this time tomorrow I will be in Orlando!!!!

 

[irky416]

Please tell me I'm not alone in the fact that it takes me about 4 hours to pack and it all gets done in stages. DBF takes about 30 minutes, throws some stuff in a suitcase and calls it a day and then looks at me like I'm the insane one!

Oh no, you're not! It takes me FOREVER to pack. I love planning the trip, but hate packing and unpacking.

I love your bag you made for autographs, that's a great idea!

 

[kathleen27]

Have a Wonderful trip!!!!

Jacob and I will be thinking about you tomorrow!!!

The bag came out great. Did you use an iron on? I think you should get it signed!!!
I see two character meals on your index cards....A lot of the autographs are really neat!!!

Your projects came out great. I'm glad you had time to get everything done.
I really like the Mickey swirl shirt.
I never thought to cover the m&m tube. We've been eating our m&ms today, its not empty yet.

It takes me forever to pack! I start throwing stuff in the suitcase days ahead of time. Then I put all the clothes on the bed. Pack what I want to bring. Then I always unpack and repack less.

Thanks!

I did use an iron-on. The motivating factor for getting that bag signed for me, I think, will be that I'll be able to post a picture when it's done! I've never gotten character autographs before so I haven't seen a lot of them, but I've heard they're all different.

The M&M tube cover idea I got from The Dis. Check out the Creative Disigns section if you haven't yet. They have all kind of stuff over there as well as the templates and pictures to use. That's also where I got my bag iron-on from.

I never pack until the last minute. Sometimes I wish I would remember to start throwing stuff in the suitcase beforehand, but I never do. I just now finished packing at 11:45, and I started around 7ish. I still have a few last minute things that need to get packed.

I just found your ptr. it is great!
Wow how exciting that you are leaving in just a few hours. If you happen to check this before you go have a great trip! I can't wait to read all about your fun!

 

[irky416]

I'm at the airport waiting for my flight!!!!

We should have internet at our condo, so I might check back and give an update.

OoOo, I really like that first t-shirt! I've started thinking about how much I need to add more Disney shirts to my wardrobe! The joy in seeing those mouse ears!

 

[PISCESANGEL]

Another shirt I made:

We leave tomorrow!!!! At this time tomorrow I will be in Orlando!!!!

I LOVE this shirt! I need to know how to make it - it is awesome!

Also, I am so happy for you that it is time to go! I hope you have a wonderful time, as I'm sure you will!!

Hi everyone! We're still in WDW! It's been really rainy while we've been here, but we're making the best of it. It hasn't hampered us too much. We've seen a lot of characters (And the bag with the signatures is coming out great!) and ridden a bunch. DBF and I are taking it easy today. We're going to head to DTD soon and back over to Animal Kingdom and Epcot for some pictures.


Here are a couple of pictures we got yesterday.

Belle and Beast ran into the greeting with Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie!

And here's us with Belle and Beast:

Does anyone know why Japan and China do not have penny machines in their countries, but are elsewhere in the World Showcase?

 

[jmskinner]

Hi, we got back yesterday. Looks like you are having a great time! Love the shirts.

We got stuck in that huge storm Thursday night and then were delayed at the airport due to the storm Friday afternoon.

Have fun and don't get too wet!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Sorry to hear it's been rainy, but hey, you are in Disney World!! Love the other projects you made before you left.

As for the pressed penny machines not being in Japan and China, if you are looking for pennies from those countries, I seem to remember seeing on my checklist that they have them in those giftshops right at the entrance to World Showcase (I can't think of the name right now! )

Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

 

[kathleen27]

Great picture!
Hope there's no more rain, glad you're having fun anyway.
Can't wait to see the bag!
