We added the DDP - paid for in part with our Visa Rewards!

Great news!

Also, for those of you who printed off your t-shirt designs from the DISigners, I need help. I don't want to sound like a moron, but how do you get the actual design? I see the DISigners posting the requested DISigns on their threads, but how do you then get them print to your transfer paper? Is it as simple as a cut/paste type thing?
TIA.

We're driving, too!! We leave the 23rd and will be in Disney on the 24th! Hubby talked about making something for the car ("we're heading to Disneyworld") but I thought that would make us a target for theft or something (yes, I'm paranoid)! But I like the idea of the LGMH! That's a GREAT idea!!!

We're just starting to make tshirts. My hubby is more schooled in the transfer thing, so I'm not real sure how it works. I'm hoping he'll get home at a decent hour to help me!

I know (we get it at 6pm here) but I can't watch it until 8pm when my boys go to bed. My house sounds like I have a heard of wild animals running through it at all times I don't watch any tv until my boys are in bed - but the good thing about that is I tape it and I don't have to watch commercials or that "coming up next in the most dramatic rose ceremony EVER"....

We got our laminated touring cards back - these are our general park cards, it also provides me with the hidden gems and where they are located... I am a big time small detail kinda tourist- so I want to see these legendary things! IS this obsessive
As I age there is too much to remember- I know what i want to ride and where it is. I have done a ton of research, last trip we missed so much because 1. I forgot and 2. we never stumbled across it- so this trip will make up for it... For example- I never even saw Club Cool in Epcot... If I didn't read about Le Chapeau in MK I wouldn't have got the mouse ears - we didn't get these until the ssecond last day of our trip! BTW this is first on our list this trip !
So based on my memory in each are of the park I have my DO Not Forget... Oh Gosh I do sound crazy.
I hate to miss details... I have read the immagineers guide to the parks- so I want to be sure to see some of these treasures I have read about.

My crocs have arrived today... I bought my 4th bag for the parks today- I need to decide tonight and return the ones I won't use (need that cash for disney).

BTW- our neighbour who was booked for March Break at the WL, was able to move her trip for WL arriving Jan 24th, they had availability- this late out I think that is a good sign?!

These are some things I thought you might like founding:

Goofy bench in MK ( he talks to you) I think he said good day to me
Unbrella in DHS
The shells in the ground near ariel's grotto (this was DD favorite in 2000)
The wishing well near the castle

This meant I had to explain the LGMH to DH who then looked at me with raised eyebrows, pats me on the head, and tells me "it's o.k. to be you." I think I scared him ! Good luck with your "true confessions".

I laugh, only because I was trying to explain all this to my sister the other day. I was explaining the LGMH and all the friends I've met in the snowboard thread. She just laughed at me and said I was strange! I think SHE'S the strange one!!

2 weeks of spelling!! He's really going to deserve a trip to Disney after that! But, you're right, better to get it done ahead of time!

Meghan-Who would've thought those mini M&M's would be that difficult to find!?!?! I was shocked!

I got mine at Quik Trip (I don't know if you have those in NY) but they were hidden at the edge. I bet I stared at the racks for 5 minutes. Then Hubby was at Toys R'Us and saw them there. Still only the small ones, not the bigger ones!

[Momto2PrncChrmgs]

Yeah, me and Andy had the LGMH discussion last night! He just laughed! Yes, I'm a dork and proud of it!! So then he joked that you all were my "peeps."

It is located at the top near the castle. Go up the right pass the castle, and you will see it. I made a wish ...of course to come back!

[pamouselover]

This is the best picture I have ever taken at WDW!

I hope it gives you the warm fuzzy feelings!


Disney Mommy 3 GO RIGHT IN BETWEEN THESE TWO ROSE BUSHES TO GET TO THE WISHING WELL!
