A Huge Thank you!!! Updated with photos 7/25

We (DH and I) decided that some of the surprises we had planned for our welcome to Disney trip basket would actually be better to have before our flight (coloring books/journals could help pass the time on the plane) We also began wondering how we would get all this stuff down there without the kids seeing some of it So...we made a countdown calendar and created surprise baskets with most the the t-shirts, the water bottles, the journals, memory books, passports, coloring books, large glow sticks, and pillowcases that we gave them today. Our oldest went out to feed our cat and "found" the surprises for him and his brother this morning! They were beyond excited!!! They will still get a small surprise gift bag with the dollar store Disney toys, more small glow sticks, small photo albums, Disney themed pens and pencils and one final t-shirt when we get to Disney. These were all really small items that we could easily "hide" while packing. I wanted to share this because once again- I want to thank all the wonderful designers here on the boards...The boys immediately put on one of their shirts and well their smiles say it all!

The loot:

wholley molley.. those invitations are SPECTACULAR! You should go into business as a WDW planner (think wedding planner but more fun and with repeat customers)

Man, I agree, that is so awesome. You need to have your own business. Thanks so much for sharing, I love all your ideas.

I found a couple of designs (the family and the castle) somewhere on the boards and put them together.

The monorail is either Kari's or Pat's - not sure which- but it is one of my favorites!

Telynn did that for me! She also made me an orange mickey head with a Clemson tiger paw print! My husband and son both love both designs! Let me know if you can't find her on the boards and I will try and find her thread for you.

I love your shirts! You did a fantastic job! And your kids are adoraable!
(I pretty much told you that already in a previous post, but wanted to say it again, and ask for a favor...)

Can you post the picture of Pirate Mickey that you used? Apparently it's Pat's design. (Man, I miss her! She's awesome!) I saw one like it with a name on it in her thread, but can't find the blank.

Thank you!

What kind of transfer paper did you use? Was it light or dark? We're about to do our's next weekend. I hope they look as good as these do. We want to use some darker shirts so I have bought both kinds of paper. I just hope it works well!

Your stuff is awesome! I'm sure the kids were thrilled. I am only planning for shirts and Epcot passports (which I think I may end up buying).
