I was going to keep the concierge part of our trip secret but I couldn't do it. So the Remy thing is the only surprise I have in store for DS.
You need to go check out the CreativeDisSigns board:

So many talented folks over there!
Iron on aren't too bad. You need to get special transfer paper. You need to wash and dry the t's without fabric softener first. There are 2 kinds of transfers. One for light t-shirts and one for dark t-****s. Lots of folks prefer the ones for dark t's and use only that-the colors are more vibrant and you can use any color T-even white. I actually prefer the ones for light t's because the one for dark t's is more like a sheet of plastic-I don't like that feel on a t-shirt for Orlando. When you use the ones for light t's you need to reverse the image before you print it (or choose mirror image when printing). Like I said the ones for dark t's are like a sheet of plastic so you print right on that -no reversing of the design. You need to use care when cutting out the ones for dark t's because anything you don't cut out will be white on the T. Just be sure to read the directions for which ever you buy carefully. There are some new transfer sheets out for dark t's that are suppose to have some stretch in them but I haven't tried those since I started sewing.
When you actually iron the design on you shouldn't use your ironing board as it lets the heat escape. The directions suggest using a towel on a wooden table but you can damage your table doing that. I have had very good luck covering a wooden cutting board with a pillowcase and using that on my ironing board.
I'm not sure how well that Walt design would work as an iron on. I've had trouble getting black to look really dark with iron ons.
Be careful!!!! It easy to get carried away.
There are so many cute designs over on that board!
Have a fun Cars night tonight!
