Late to this party but my sister and I have all our costume pieces together, at last! And I've done something just like you guys; I have a zippered jogging vest under a white sleeveless hoodie, and good mouseketeers can it ever insulate. I'm bringing a black tank top as backup. I would attach a...

Excellent advice from previous posters! If you're still a bit overwhelmed, here are a couple of blog posts with multi-day itineraries: PassportStamps.uk Two-Week Itinerary and ABCNews 2-, 4-, 6-Day Itineraries

I'll second the Teva sandals; some styles are even thongs with back or top straps. Most have a thick sole, which you'll want in the parks but will be more noticeable to you than flip flops. Definitely buy ahead of time and break in whatever shoes you decide on. Speaking of breaking in shoes, if...

We have some great tiger mosquitoes where I live, and I recently found a body-safe alternative to DEET sprays: pepperin bug spray. One quick spritz on exposed skin and I don't have any bites from anything, not even fire ants. Even the gnats here hate it.

Aw, I like that top! GoneForARun.com has a mermaid tank for ~$35, but the print is very different. I've been window-shopping their print tanks for a while.

Park security might allow it for an under-ten-year-old, but they will probably veto it due to the tail, which is a serious trip hazard. Your parental spidey senses are also important; that's a lot of vinyl/nylon mix to pack up and carry for the entire party. Can he ride rides with it on safely...

The Disney Fashionista has several DB posts, and here's a DB dedicated tumblr. Polyvore used to be the hot posting spot, but it was shut down. Also, here's the 2018 MNSSHP Costume thread, come post with us! Halloween Mickey comes out promptly at 7pm, when the party starts. I think some reported...

Last year, party merch was on the parks blog ~August 14th and the first party was August 25th. My guess is we'll be waiting until August 1st this year. :sad2: On another note, I'm interested to see how Toy Story Land will redistribute crowds. I can't seem to find anything about how Pandora's...

Depending on how much time you get between FOP and Finding Nemo, you may want to meander through the Discovery Island trail rather than taking the normal path in front of the Tree of Life. It's simpler than Maharajah and Gorilla Falls but very pretty and quiet.

Of course, use what you got for the bag! I just wondered if you were considering the medium-sized boxier/hard shell types that you might have. I wouldn't blame you for going with a crossbody or clutch, though, since the bigger the bag the more heavy stuff seems to go in it. I have our clothes...

My first thought was 'Figment?!' but maybe also a 70s glam Rapunzel? @FoxC63 Catching up with the thread; I'm so glad you found fabric for Dr Watson! The Joann's near us had a Memorial Day sale (that I missed, boo) and I hoped you and everyone on this thread got some deals. xD Also, those boots...

I don't have children, so I can't speak from experience, but I have seen several Disboard moms gush over LittleDressUpShop.com costumes. They have a couple of Alice dresses for not-the-worst prices.

Last year HalloWishes was at 10:15pm. Times haven't been released for this year yet. Do they really?! We're skipping the Plaza entirely this trip cuz it sounded so bland. Anyone know if the Plaza milkshakes are as good as Beaches 'n Cream?

You should be able to do it at the resort ticket desk. I don't know about ticket desks at other parks, since the party is MK-specific. It's what you're most comfortable with, really, and how involved your costumes are. Some people keep their costume in their own trick or treat bag and change in...

Gorilla Falls used to be Pangani Forest, and I think the physical trail is still the same. The Savannah Overlook is the furthest point from the entrance, sort of the middle of the trail. The entrance is right next to the exit for Kilimanjaro Safari. I can't find a really good map of just the...

Happy to help! I'll always choose to frankenstein a costume if it means less cost and time. That's why we're disneybounding our characters for the party - I can't imagine building this outfit in 5 months from scratch. :faint:

@FoxC63 I think that pattern takes 6.5 yards because of the gathers at the hip and the massively time-consuming pleated hem. Maybe if you use a skirt pattern from Simplicity 1558 (or another steampunk pattern) and add trim instead of a pleated hem, it would be more doable?

If you don't want to book FPs in advance for the party, and are happy getting FPs at a kiosk, you should probably just link your party tickets to your MagicBand and book additional FPs when you get to MK (or on the app on your way to MK!) That would basically be the 4th and 5th Fast Pass...

I prefer having the guarantee of eating at the restaurant at some point in our vacation, versus same-day or walking up. A lot of the popular and/or expensive restaurants in our city require a credit card to make reservations, anyway. Too many empty seats with no-show reservations can sink a...

@ADS2508 is right, looks like dining & ADR pages are (hopefully temporarily) down for computers. They were working earlier today. And now I'll go stress eat some ice cream, because our ADR 180 opens tomorrow morning, and my current phone hates the app. :stitch2:
