Button Up For Disney!
I finally had a little time to think about our Aug. trip again! First, I stole an idea from @StarWarsMomofGirls! and ordered some buttons from ParkBound Buttons. In my defense I didn't completely steal the idea, I've considered buying some for our last couple trips but never got around to it. However she purchased a few - maybe more than a few - recently and it made me just do it. They have such cute ones! I'll wait to show you what I picked until the come.
Second, which will come as no surprise, I gave our resort choice some more thought. The double beds have been bothering me. Still no TA availability at WL for our first two nights so I've moved us here:
Yes it's still a value, but as Whitney @Whit64130 pointed out, the refurbed rooms there will have queen beds so we have a shot at getting one. I like the theming there anyway and would like to request the 80's section since those were the coolest years EVER!
Finally, I ordered a new Dooney and Bourke purse! I'm currently using my D&B Runway Princess satchel which I've had, I think, for almost 2 years. I LOVE it. It's a huge attention grabber and in addition to starting may conversations about Disney (which I can talk about forever) I now always add what I do for a living when someone comments on it. This has led to my handing out a few business cards The princesses are very visible, easily identifiable so I was hesitant to get a new one that might not bring as much attention, but I was feelin' that new purse itch and I've loved this design since it was released:
Pirates of the Caribbean satchel! I don't carry this around the parks but I do bring it on the plane, and when it's just Steve and I I'll carry the satchel (so far just my older Disneyana and the Princess one) to our signature dinners. Otherwise I take a hipster, currently a Disney pattern one I bought in one of the gift shops there a couple years ago but the strap is fairly uncomfortable on my shoulder. I used to hate the Disney Vera designs but lately I've grown to like them so I've been looking online for one I like. Now I heard a new Disney line is releasing soon so I might wait and see what that's like or just continue my search for an older style VB hipster, hopefully in time for August.
That's all the Disney stuff I have for now! In other news Chris and I spent the weekend in Maryland for my nephews lacrosse tournament; Ricky and Steve had to stay back because Ricky had his AAU basketball championship game Saturday (they won!) While there, we got to have lunch with some very special friends and if you read my latest dining report update it's no longer a surprise to you! Kari @kastoney and her daughter Casey drove up on Sunday for some good food and invigorating conversation with Chris:
Making friends on the Dis is awesome! Even better when they don't turn out to be serial killers!
Oh, and thank you all for your suggestions for ordering shirts! That's on my list for this week along with about 25 other things........
