    Pre-Trip Lawdy, Lawdy, Look Who's Turning 40 - PTR

    I get the Mary Blair flavor (he he) from the 40. Ooh, are those with the new pens? Too bad it wasn't fun for you, because it is a delight to see. If I tried to design my own cake, I would cut out designs I like and paste them together. It would look like a ransom cake.

    Trip Report A Whole Hand Old, Almost the Big 60, & an I don't care what we do but Biergarten PTR

    Do you have good thrift stores nearby? Our Animal Welfare League always has table and bed linens for sale. Lately, they have had mostly 80s pastel prints. Once through the 80s was enough for me. I want an embroidery machine for no good reason. I think they are nifty. My husband is worried that...

    Does the guy in the portrait pull out a pistol? Oops, wrong trip report. :p

    Currently, I am working one elements for our MNSSHP costume. (Shhh, we're going as the Beagle Boys.) I am working on linen money bags and the 167 numbering for the boy's shirts and I'm in the rough-idea mode for hand props. Enough about me. I don't want to hijack your thread with my craft...

    I totally got the spirit of Mary Blair from your drawing. I am fascinated by the process. You are inspiring me to be more crafty.

    Fear of Over-Planning, what did I forget?

    Fear of over-planning? Embrace the over-planning! Go from head to toe and think of what you use at home and what you might want on the trip. Are there any comfort items you might want? Touring books, hidden Mickeys or fun trivia? I like to have something to discuss on long lines or at meals...

    So sorry to hear about the ringworm. Other than being icky and itchy, it should be easy to clear up. Are you going for the colorful or the silver and white? How much lead time do the bakers at Disney need for your designs? My SIL has done this and I go from being a normal over-planner to...

    I wish had enough talent to make a lazy sketch. I'm sure people think I'm nuts running through the craft store. "One coupon equals one object...one coupon equals one object...Oh, look shiny things on sale!"

    Surviving on Only Treats and Snacks

    The ear of corn in Liberty Square is pretty tasty. If my son gets the chicken fingers and I sneak a few bites of the chicken fingers when he isn't looking, does that count as a snack? ;-)

    Adorable and perfectly themed. Will you be themed as well? Any ideas for mom's look?

    Do you "move in" to your room?

    We're suitcase people. Very few items get to hang in the closet. As for the rest, I pack in Tupperware. No, really. Anything moist goes in the containers. The larger container has also been used as a foot tub and a washtub on different trips. Packing the suitcase is like adult-level Tetris...

    Please check your reservation and all your perks before you go

    NERD ALERT! I use a spreadsheet to keep track of my questions and answers for trip planning. It has date, time called, operator name (CM name for Disney), question, answer and extra advice columns. I started this a few years ago for a family cruise because I noticed my SIL and I had different...

    PhotoPass Anxiety

    Husband is great! He told me I was being silly fussing over something I wanted. He gave me a budget and told me "Disney is your thing. Pick the stuff that will make you happy." I have a good husband.

    Husband asked for one item...

    Drat! I knew it was a slim chance. I don't remember seeing the Monte Cristo in Japan. They did have shrimp goyza and red bean paste buns. :-)

    Husband asked for one item...

    I asked husband about ADRs and what he liked from the last trip. He requested the Monte Cristo. That was from our Disneyland trip in 2003. Best waitress ever! Is the Monte Cristo available in WDW? It was the only food he requested.

    The in-laws just got back from a cruise. The photo package on the cruise was $1200. PhotoPass+ just became a bargain!

    The share sounds like a great idea but it is by invitation only. I need more Disney friends!
