A very merry unbirthday to you! . I threw a mad tea party today and it looks so pretty at night...but it makes me wish I was at Disneyland of course! Happy Saturday night MWers!!crap I put this in the wrong area! Sorry!
I know it's not even summer yet, but how cold is it in CA during October? Is it jeans and hoodies weather or can you still wear short sleeves & shorts? I'm dreaming of my next Disney trip which isn't until the MW bday celebration....
I would do shorts and a hoodie. But you can never go wrong with jeans and a light Tshirt. :o) - MomWithAJuiceBoxBuzz923.0 #97 5-31-11 3:25PMLike Reply

Is there a limit on how much stuff you can buy in Club 33? I don't have a reservation I'm just curious. There's such mystery surrounding the club :)
I doubt it, they probably want you to spend as much money as you have - KelBelle452.8 #274 5-27-11 11:50AMLike Reply

Basically a cheaper one...we have two little ones a 4 yr old and a 1 yr old. The Disney hotels are way more expensive than the ones outside the park (we're usually a Quality Inn type of family) but I would like to stay at the Dland hotel for my bday.

Everything was perfect from the second we woke up, all day long, and then collapsed into those deliciously comfortable beds at night! I would not stay anywhere else but an on-site hotel :) and there is no hassle with a shuttle, it's faster to get in to the parks, magic mornings are sweet, oh the list goes on! @JennDear, just play the "It's my Birthday" card you're a busy mom and you deserve it! - TandAlly213.5 #1466 5-18-11 3:51PMLike Reply

When I started collecting pins, my best friend bought me this 3D monorail pin with the castle, matterhorn, & grizzly mountain face on it. It was so heavy that the rubber backs fell off like 30 min after I bought it. I was really lucky that the pin itself somehow stayed on. So when I used to keep my pins on my lanyard, I would keep it in my bag when going through crowds or on rides. But my last trip I bought a little pin bag, so now I'm not worried about it.

It was probably off only the frames. Any disney original artwork has no discount. As well as the magic shoppe. Because they are separate from disney. My hubby got a painting of our name in characters last ear in NOS and no discount. And we got our sillouhetts done and no discount. But they could give discount on frames for ten. Also was just there in feb and asked about this pic i liked but was too expensive and they said no discount on original artwork but the did have smaller copies and we could get discount on that. - ImAlwaysCrazy646.5 #171 5-12-11 6:44AMLike Reply

Disney doesn't condone ticket sharing, but no his name is not on the hopper.
