Will TarzansKat meet Captain Jack? ~A Pirate's Life for 3 Pre-Trippie~ We're back!

Happily, tops generally fit me better, as long as I don't have to worry about sleeve length. And if that fails me, there's always shoes.

Sadly I never even have shoes to fall back on. I was cursed with wide feet and high arches. My problem was not helped by the fact that I took ballet lessons for years either. Finding cute shoes is an exercise in futility most of the time.

I've always said that if I could change one thing about myself, I'd want normal B width feet. I would be such a shoe fiend if I did.
 
Oh, yes, my friends.

We're still mad here.

Especially whilst in the throes of potty training DS. See the Fabby LapuLapuette Thread for details, savvy?

So I have some shopping successes to report.

What? Dost mine ears deceive me?

Did TK actually purchase something with the intent that it was cute, wearable, and keepable?

Yes, indeedy folks! Whilst out on my shopping adventure yesterday in the search of items to entice the little nut to stop having accidents, I happened to squeeze in a bit of shopping for my little ole self.

Oh, yeah. Because if you're at Walmart and the tank tops only cost $4.50, that's what you do, my lovlies. You squeeze in a little shopping for yourself. Now I had been betwixt and between on my beloved tanks. I need a couple of new black ones for the trip, and at least one new white. Well the white were pretty much see through. And although some may enjoy that, it's not the image I'd like to project in a family park...or ever really.:rotfl2:

So here's the deal. I've tried them on before, and they changed the style from last year. In last year's version, I was a medium. Even stevens, no doubts about it, even after shrinking in the dryer, a medium. This year, uh oh. New style called modern fit. Um, modern fit? As in, how tightly can we show the upper part of your body? Okay, I'm young, I'll run with it, right? Wrong. Here we are in between the medium and the large again! Curse you sizing gods!!!!! But not the weather gods...:worship: :worship: :worship: , because remember, we don't want it to rain or do anything during MNSSHP that would hinder normal party activities.

Back on track. The medium fits fine, but if it shrinks, not sure. The large is a bit too big in the sense that it's almost below my but. Not so attractive, friends. Not so much. It's a region I'd prefer to not to draw undue attention to, kwim? So, I did what any sensible DISer would do...finally I've learned, young Skywalker.

I bought both sizes. Two mediums and two larges. I'm going to wash them and dry them and see which fits better. I asked at customer service and was told I could return them even after that, so wish me luck! I know one set will fit, just not sure which ones.

Another word to the wise on Walmart tanks in general. They're a very thin material. Which I love for Florida. Kohl's tanks, the ones I purchase anyway, are much thicker and heavier weight. Great for New England, but they do feel heavier in the World. So, I'm very excited about these two new thinner ones, because it'll help me stay cooler. I also know I can rely on Kohl's for my white tank, since they are thicker, and I've worn them before with no see through issues. And that's the pre trip report lesson of the day, savvy?

Also, I found another pair of jean shorts. The same style I already got, and they are so flippin' cute! And I was so excited, inside I was like this :banana: :banana: :) :) :dance3: :dance3: :yay: :yay: ! But outside, I just :) . Because it would be weird to turn into a dancing banana in the middle of Walmart...or would it?

So that's my success folks. I've found two new tanks for $9 total and a pair of shorts for $10.

You know what this means? I've reached my desired amount of clothing that will prevent at least me from having to do any laundry for myself on this trip. Woo hoo! :woohoo: The boy, however....:yay: ....well, that's another story.

Again, see Fabby LapuLapuette Thread for all the lovely potty training details.

And may the force be with us.

Have you tried zappos.com? Honestly, I don't think they come out with deals all that often, but you can't beat them for selection. And they do free shipping both ways, so if you get a pair that doesn't fit or you just don't like, you can return it for a 100% refund.

Oh, yes, my friends.

:banana: Yay for at least not having to do laundry for yourself! And you've still got plenty of potty training time before the trip. Maybe DS will have it down by then, particularly with the Potty Power incentive. :goodvibes
 
I am sooooooo excited about my trip, and Lapu Lapu Fest '09.

To the point where I don't know if I'm going to do the ladies weekend in Dec. I mean, the idea was so thoughtful, but I really don't feel comfortable being that far away from them. DS had a health scare (we're all fine) and it just really put things in perspective for me. I'd really like to see all of those wonderful Christmas things with my family, and I feel horrible about doing it without them. I think Lapu Fest 09 would be so great if I could turn it into our family vacation. That was actually something we were supposed to do this year, in honor of DH's as yet unspeakable birthday, and we would have been in the world on his birthday. But we scrapped it for free dining.

Oh, decisions, decisions.:headache:
LAPU LAPU FABBY FEST 2009! :dance3:
 

Hurray for completing the no-laundry shopping for your trip!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: (Because my dancing bananas felt the need to join your dancing bananas in the tank top celebration!)

How's potty training going today? Has DS managed to get a prize from the bucket yet?
 
If it's any help to you Disney pretty much followed the park hours and EMH schedule from 2007 for October and November 2008, they actually cut back hours a couple of night at MK. What are your dates??

January of '09. (10-18) I've researched 2008 and 2007 and they only vary a little from one another... So unless Disney throws me for a loop I should be okay! (Oh, I'll still spaz out till they post the dates, but I'll live!) :rotfl:

Or as CP so aptly phrased it, "We're all mad here." :ccat:

I'm DisneyShopping.com right now... 40% off the summer sale! ACK!

I'm avoiding that sale like the plague. I'm so sick of buying and returning, and I've been up and down and sideways through that site, so I'm sticking to my guns, and not looking!

However, I wish you happy shopping!:goodvibes
 
Good luck to you! I just got my order in Friday... I loved it all and it was so cute!

Oh, the tees you ordered were adorable! I love the Wall E one. I was so tempted to get one for DS at Walmart the other day, but they only went up to 5t and their toddler clothes run notoriously small, so one time in the dryer and I knew it wouldn't fit. Maybe I'll find something cute for him on vacation!:goodvibes

They had such cute wall e graphics on zazzle. I need disney tshirts stat. I have tshirt envy. I hesistant to order them off of zazzle because they don't have women's plus sized ones that will fit and I don't want mens tshirts but I have never done transfers before so I am worried about that.
 
I won't post the pics again, but y'all remember the bag? Looked sooooo cute online. In person, still cute, but it has no structure to it. It's like a vinyl/nylon, and will basically take the shape of whatever you put in it.

Ugh. I hate that.

I am really, really hard on my bags. And I know you'll all laugh at me that I even ordered this one, but there's a very lovely D&B black tote sitting in my closet that I've never even used that would probably serve my purpose much better. Since it has structure. And is well constructed. And will withstand the tortuous trials I will put it through holding all my carp, like plans of attack and ropes and things.

:rolleyes1

New style called modern fit. Um, modern fit? As in, how tightly can we show the upper part of your body?

Ah, yes. However, you're right. I think Ariel has Disney cleavage covered.
 
Ugh. I hate that.

I KNOW! I was bummed. Ah well. I did however, ship everything back...and exchange for one item. I'm withholding what that is until it arrives. Don't want to get everyone excited over my buy/return/exchange/doIreallywantthis carp.:rotfl2:

Ah, yes. However, you're right. I think Ariel has Disney cleavage covered.

Jasmine too.
 
I'm sorry you had to return all that stuff to Disney Shopping! I hope my purchase doesn't suffer the same fate.

But, :banana: for your tank tops and shorts purchases!
 
Alright, not full chapter worthy, but definitely noteworthy.

As in pay attention those of you who love discounted airfare.

Last year, on July 10th, I got my discounted airfare on Southwest. So it is highly possible that tomorrow, they'll release some type of discount to Orlando. I'm hoping. And wishin'. And prayin'.

It's possible, right?

Although last year I paid about $476 for the three of us.:lmao:

I doubt I'll be so lucky. I just want some type of discount. Throw TK a bone, here! Make me feel better about the trip budget in some small way!

::: phew:::

Glad I got that out of my system.:lmao:

Thanks! At least we got to see Wall E for free, right? Although technically, since I had to mail back my purchases, only one of us was free...but still free, dagnabit!:goodvibes

You will be fine. You find fabby airfare and all will be right in TK land. :goodvibes
AirTran already changed my return flight, they are taking off about 15 mins earlier now. I wonder how many times it will change before it's here.
 
Oh, I will definitely keep my fingers crossed for you that a discount gets posted tomorrow! That would be great! :thumbsup2

I am the same way about tracking dates. Last year, Disney released packages on August 5th, a Sunday. So, I was thinking this year it might be August 3rd. But, then, I also noticed that packages were released the day before Party for the Senses reservations could be booked (totally unrelated except for the proximity of dates). Yesterday, I saw that Party for the Senses can be booked starting August 11th. To my mind that means that packages might be released on August 10th.

Sadly, this is what my mind does.

Why can't companies just give us the dates ahead of time??? It would make things so much more stress-free!!!

Have you thought of calling to ask? They might be able to tell us. I would love to know.

You're so sweet.:goodvibes I'm keeping my fingers crossed. And my toes. 'Cause it's that serious people.

Oh, I would hate that about the changing flight times. Did I mention how jealous I am that CP can drive there?;)

Oh, I will definitely keep my fingers crossed for you that a discount gets posted tomorrow! That would be great! :thumbsup2

Thank you!:thumbsup2

I am the same way. It could be tomorrow, or it could be next Tuesday. I hope it's tomorrow, I'd love to get airfare done with.
