I've never bothered with matching shirts, and I definitely don't want to do it EVERY day, but I think it would be fun once.
I think I figured out a way to kill two birds with one stone though...
On militarydisneytips.com, he talks about how if you want to get chosen for the flag retreat at the Magic Kingdom, the best way to do so is to make the fact that you're military obvious. So I'm thinking CAMO Tie-Dye Mickey shirts! I think DH would be ok with that. Red, White, and Blue are also a possibility (but of course then there's blending problems with the red and blue).
I usually avoid anything that's too obvious, but I think it would be worth it if it could give DH the opportunity to help with the flag.
Alternatively, I could print off character silhouettes on iron-on transfer paper, so we'd each have a different character and just tie-dye the shirts straight out, or keep them plain.
Love the camo idea! I think that would be perfect!
Same idea... but VERY different at the same time! The design part is similar but the ride at DisneyQuest is more like Mission: Space with the spinning centrifugre effect. The DQ ride made Tim sick & I started to get a little green after a second ride. Rides NEVER make me sick - that was the first and only time. SOAT has the design portion, then you sit in a simulator and watch the ride on video. The simulator goes up and down and tips side to side. It can go upside down too. It does not spin though. It's fun. You can see other people riding while you wait.
Happy Belated Birthday! I missed it here... hopefully I caught you on Facebook! I love your new Vera! I've been eyeing a new Hipster in "Go Wild". It's black, white & yellow. I keep trying to come up with a reason to buy it... it might have to be an early Mother's Day gift.
I love your shirts. I can't wait to see how the painted shirts come out.
I bought the boys a couple new shirts each that I'll give them for Easter. I asked them if they would wear their Disney shirts this year and they both said yes. I didn't ask them if they would wear matching shirts... so hopefully they like thier matching Perry shirts.
How is your dad doing? I hope his dialysis isn't too difficult.![]()
Ok....we'll have to find SOAT at Epcot. I was lucky at DQ because simulator rides normally make me sick...that one did not. Maybe because it was so short. The movie idea sounds more my speed!
I was so pleased when my boys gave the ok for the matching shirts. It brought a big smile to my face!
Thanks for asking about my Dad. The dialysis is going well so far. He is training to do his dialysis at home, so mom has been going with him every day to get all the information they can. If all goes well, he will begin the process at home next week. The machines have all been delivered...just waiting to complete training. Then he can do his dialysis at home, on his own schedule which is really what he wants. He has a degenerative kidney disease called PKD (polycystic kidney disease) and will be on dialysis until he gets a donated kidney. It's going to be a long road, but thanks for the positive thoughts!
