A Trip report? We'll see... LOL
I tried to start one last time on TGM and it was a big flop (my following up, that is).
I'll give it a go here and see what happens...
My trip dates are 10-18 Oct. (10th doesn't really count though since my flight doesn't get in until 8:30PM)
This year is the 3rd annual TGM Zag N Meet. I've been to the first two and didn't see how I could possibly miss the 3rd one! (yeah, DH is getting a bit frustrated, but oh well!)
This will be my 16th trip to WDW and I am taking DS with me. It will be his 3rd trip. (4th if you count the trip where I had just become pg a week before the trip! LOL) He will turn 4 on the trip (Oct 12th) and I have some fun things planned for that day for him.
DH has to stay home and take care of his business. It's tough being the owner...
This will be the first time I've stayed at a Value resort, but I think it will be fine for the two of us. I was originally booked at POP Century but moved to AS Music when the discounted rates came out. (POP wasn't available for our days with the discount.)
I actually have a friend who will be rooming with us from the 12th onward (Lisa - aka blondejrsygr on TGM), so I'm hoping we aren't tripping over each other in the smaller room.
I am splurging and getting the Deluxe Dining Plan. Not sure why. Just sounded fun. My excuse is that I'll want all those sit down meals as a chance to chill out since DH won't be there to help with DS.
All of our park days will be arranged around the TGM meets.
A few trips ago (May 2006) I got into the custom designed t-shirts and made images for us to wear at the various parks. That went well (even my sister in law who went with us was willing to 'play along'). The next year (Sept/Oct 2007) I made custom outfits (sewing from 'scratch') for our family and 4 friends we took along. That was cool too, but way too much work. Luckily, the outfits still fit DS and me, so I'm dragging a couple of those out.
We'll have one matching t-shirt (my "4 parks" image):
(that one still barely fits DS)
The "Spiral Mickey" T-shirts:
(also barely still fits DS)
And the "blue" Mickey outfits... I'm still trying to decide if I want to wear my dress or 'steal' DH's shirt and wear a white tank top under it
THEN... I've made some things for DS to wear (that I won't match)
An outfit with a reversible hat and reversible shorts. The Mickey head was appliquéd on by a friend from the DIS. (My sewing machine and I do not work well together on appliqué.) I also made him one of those cooling neck ties from the plaid fabric as well.
A similar outfit with a different fabric - no hat or neck thingie this time... (same friend did the shirt appliqué again)
I painted some coveralls (shortalls) for him to wear one day...
I had found the shortalls at the used kids clothes store for a buck and figured, "what the heck?" The stripes made me think of train engineers and so that's why I did a train design.
My favorite pair is the shortalls I painted for his birthday. I also painted a white t-shirt with 3 Mickey head balloons on one sleeve and "Happy 4th Birthday" on the other sleeve (no pic yet)
On the back, Pluto is bursting out of a birthday cake with 4 candles
I also painted a little Mickey on a pair of shorts he'll wear at some point during the trip...
Last, but not least, Lisa and I wore these shirts I designed at Disneyland in May and we're going to wear them again. I altered the design for DS and he'll have a coordinating shirt... (don't have the image ironed on yet - so I'll post the base image with my watermark still on it)
ummm... yeah - the PhotoPass guy thought it would be too funny to make us make faces like the "silly princesses" were making...
and here is the design I'm putting on a shirt for DS...
Well, other than packing and finishing DS's Silly Boys shirt, I'm pretty much ready to go! 15 days and counting!
Oh - On his birthday, I ordered a basket to be delivered for him...
I think the pumpkin is made to be a ToT 'bag' and I thought it was funny that they include a toothbrush for "after all the sweets"...
