Anyway, love your TR! Love seeing how involved in the church your family is. And your girls are absolute cuties!

Hi Amanda! Glad to see you made it over!! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with so many books!!

Thank you so much!! Yes, we just adore our church--especially our Sunday School Class! The Lord has really blessed us!

Yeah--thankfully I've already read all of them but 2!!

I'm going to be the voice of dissent and suggest you think about Magic Kingdom for arrival evening. Relax at your resort & unwind and then head over to MK maybe around 3:30 and hope to see a parade and some fireworks. Take it easy with the girls and just enjoy the park. You're way too close to MK (being at the Poly) to not do it. We're at CBR but we are planning on heading to MK for our first day, even if it's just to be there.

Hee hee!! What can I say? I like to have all of the info I can get!!

Thank you for your input on arrival day. I still have not decided what we're going to do yet. I don't know if I'll be patient enough not to go to a park that first day--KWIM?!

The Crocs are cute. I've never tried the MJ style. I have the adara and I'm waiting patiently for the flip-flops.

Yes, whoever came up with Color Wonder is a genius--or better yet, probably a mom!!

You know, after wearing my mj crocs all day yesterday--I must say that they are much more comfy than the original crocs!! I LOVE them!! I so wish that I could wear flip-flops but I can't stand having anything between my toes!

All of your planning books should keep you busy. I really want to get the Birnbaums' guide for kids, I think my dd9 would love to read through that. Actually that's a good Easter basket gift.
As for the crocs, I always buy them for the kids, but i've never had a pair myself, I'm really thinking about getting some for this trip.

I bought the Birnbaum's Guide for Kids at my Disney Store at the end of the year. It was marked down to $4.99--plus I had a coupon!!!

You can't go wrong with the crocs--they are sooo comfy!!

No problem!! Glad I could help!!

I wasn't supposed to get my order from crocs.com until Friday so I was pleasantly surprised when it came today!! Here are my crocs:


And crocs for the girls (These will match 2 Minnie customs I'm having made for the girls--I'm going to put them in their Easter basket):


I also ordered Ally some Jibbitz (I'm going to put them inside plastic eggs for her Easter basket--the fairy ones light up--they are fairly large--notice the size difference between the fairies & Minnie):


A pic of Minnie in the croc (The Disney MJ's feature minnie holes small enough to secure jibbitz™ brand charms):


And I'm throwing in a picture of Ally that I took before church tonight. She's wearing her Ariel shirt and clippie (Ariel is her FAVORITE princess!!):

I straightened Ally's hair today--I do it every so often when she asks. She has such pretty curly hair but sometimes she wants to be like Mommy!

Thank you so much for helping I am taking my mom and sister for their very first time and I want to make it special for them. The jibbitz are so cute and the crocs are just so adorable with the mickey holes.

Love the crocs! I ordered from there last week and haven't even gotten and email saying they shipped yet . How long did it take to get your order?

It took me exactly a week to get mine. I ordered last Wed. and received them yesterday. Maybe check your order status by logging into crocs.com--they may have forgotten to send a shipping e-mail.

Yay for the Crocs delivery. I am waiting for mine. I did get some hot pink Mary Janes-not minnie at Costco for $9.98! Both my girls also have that Ariel shirt-it is really cute!
