You're invited! Celebrating my Birthday with F&W, MNSSHP, & AKL! Upd. 10/1 We're off!

[Nicole786]

I've been working on mousekeeping envelopes, and here is what I came up with for this trip! I used the generic AKL envelopes that I've had in the past because I like how simple the design is. But this trip, we also have 1 extra in the mix, my birthday envelope!!

Kara and I are going to go to Party City to pick up some confetti and decorations for the room. We can't do balloons because its AKL, but we want to be as festive as allowed!

Love the Mousekeeping! Have you worked up any for the other resorts?

Cute envelopes! You really have a knack for great designs, Nicole!

Actually I have done quite a few different ones as requests a while back from some dis-friends. I can definitely make you some if you'd like!

Cute envelopes! You really have a knack for great designs, Nicole!

Thanks!

Day 3's plans sounds great! Every trip I go on I always say I want to do F! the first night, but so far every trip I take F! is never showing our first night.

Can't wait to read more.

Let's go Mets!

I love fantasmic but the choice to cut down on shows is the pits I am not looking forward to the crowds beforehand!!

I figured with nothing new to report just yet, I would share my MNSSHP costume with you all! Some of you may know what it is, but some may not so I will clarify. We are going as the Purple Parrots!

If you are puzzled right now, let me explain. In the 90s there was a very popular tv show called Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was a game show where kids would compete in obstacles that followed a fabricated (sometimes not) legendary tale.

A couple of months ago I found out that this website here actually sells the proper t-shirts and helmet! So Kara and I are ordering both. We went shopping and ironically found the perfect shorts to wear at Wal-Mart for $8 so we plan on returning there to get them.

We are so excited over this!! I think a lot of the younger CMs (especially college program) will definitely understand our costume!!

Here is a video of the show on youtube for anyone who wants to understand better!

Coming up next: Our first full day in Disney!

I'm here Nicole!

AKL - How awesome that you're staying there. That place is so cool. I've never stayed there, but we ate at Boma the last time and explored while we were there. Beautiful!

Sounds like your first day in the parks will be full and fun! Your envelopes and T-shirt designs are really cute. I love the Birthday shirt. And I'm older, but I remember Legends of the Hidden Temple Show. I used to love to watch that.

Looking forward to hearing more.

 

[dvc at last !]

When I get the whole outfit I'll probably post a picture before I go! Or maybe I should wait until the actual party IDK!

Isn't it exciting when you reach the "under one month" part? It goes very quickly! It will be hard to miss us at MNSSHP lol, are you dressing up?

I'm here Nicole!

Yay! So glad you made it over! Thanks for the lovely comments on my designs! It definitely gives me something to do thats for sure. I'm hoping that lots of people recognize the costume at MNSSHP!!

Day 4, October 5th

Today we are starting off in Epcot It's both mine and Kara's favorite park and because of Food and Wine Festival, we definitely need to spend a lot of time here!

As usual we will start the day by running the Soarin marathon. We'll follow the masses so we can FP Soarin! It will no doubt look something like this at 9:01am

From there, depending on crowd levels we'll visit some characters at the Character Connection It's usually already a 10-15 minute wait, but works out nicely either way.

Whether we wait or not, next up would be standby line for Test Track I can't seem to remember if Kara has been on this or not (there will be a lot of first times for her this trip)

We'll sign up for Kim Possible, and than head to Nemo and Friends and possibly Turtle Talk. Time for our Soarin FPs!

Decision time between getting into the WS or Exploring Innoventions a bit. If we go for Innoventions there is just so much fun to do there! Maybe when we're finished we'll have time to go to the World Showcase?

I always feel so overwhelmed at Epcot even when I plan to take it easy there's always so much I want to see and do, and this time, with the Festival going on i'm not sure who or whats going to stop me. Maybe this ugly fella?

Cuz I know for sure the rain hasn't stopped me in the past!

Eventually towards the early afternoon the heat and exhaustion start to creep up on you, and with all those cool, air conditioned activities over at the AKL i'm sure it won't be long before we're headed to the buses.

We do have those CS credits burning in our pockets, and I'm not sure if today will be the day we go to Sunshine Seasons with all those yummy F&W booths, but thats the thing about planning, it can never be 100%! So either lunch will be at Sunshine, the Mara, or maybe not at all. After all we wouldn't want to stuff ourselves before dinner!

We have our Kona ADR tonight!

...And we wrap up our first Disney day at DHS EMH! I'm pretty sure TSM will be untouchable, but if we manage to get on it, that means we can skip opening DHS later in the week (the only reason we would open is for TSM) I know for sure we'll be riding ToT and RnR!

Hi! Subscribing!

You have to go check out the night vision goggles. Those were just awesome. We went to eat dinner at Jiko's for my DH birthday, and we just went wandering around the pool for old time sake and happened to find where they were doing the night vision. It was so cool. Now I want a pair for our house.

Also, I love your costume. I loved that show and I think it is great you are doing the purple parrots.

 

[TCKK]

EPCOT is my favorite too. There is alway so much to do and I never manage to get it all done, even on a 10 day trip. Sounds like to have great plans. Also, I hope you Twitter while you're there. I love following you while your in the park. Makes the wait til our next trip a little easier. You know you gotta get your Disney fixes where you can.

I can't wait for the night vision goggles! I just hope we are a little but further down the halls of the AKL so we pass by those huge windows they have so we can see the animals!

I will for sure be Twittering! I cant get enough while i'm there especially with all my friends and family following on Facebook!

So I need some advice because I want to start ironing shirts tomorrow! I know what I want for my birthday shirt, but I decided I may want to use this tink design on a hot pink shirt I bought for a different day

But I can't decide what to put on the back! I've narrowed it down to two. The first one is my own F&W Festival design, if I used this on the back I may wear the shirt twice. Once for a day we're in the MK but definitely on a day we're in Epcot.

The second option is a design done by Kellybell. I really like this one and the colors match nicely!! Help!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Your plans look great so far and I love those designs! So cute!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I love all of the designs -- you'll just have to make two shirts!
