Are we prepared, or what!-pics of all projects

[dr&momto2boys]

It's BIG thank you time for everyone here on this board! Thank you designers!!! Thank you everyone who offered advice from where to find t-shirts and transfers, which ones to use, and how to do it! Thanks to everyone who posted pictures of their projects! (Many of which I flat out copied!) Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Today is packing day! Which means my projects are finally done (I CAN'T add more!) So I wanted to show EVERYTHING off and inspire the addicted to do more for their trips!

The characters are: MIL and FIL, Mom (me) and Dad to our two sons almost 3yrs and 15mos. SIL and BIL and Nephew 4yrs and Niece almost 2 yrs.

Some I've posted before, but here's the complete set:

T-shirts for the kids for the airplane and first day (MGM):

T-shirts Day 2 for everyone (MK):

Day 3 (EPCOT & MK):

Day 4 (AK): Safari for my kids, HSM for the cousins

Day 5 for the kids (MK):

Day 6 for just the boys (MGM):

Day 7 for just my boys (EPCOT):

Back-up shirts (You know they won't make it through the day clean every day.)

MNSSSHP shirts for MIL, FIL, DH, and myself: (others are wearing costumes)

I have many more projects to come, but I thought I'd break it into another post!

Those are great.
I have a quick question for you. Which brand of T-shirt tranfer did you use.

Epcot Passports:

Autograph books:

DDP tracking cards: (3 families with one pool of credits-we needed a system!)

Travel Journal:

Letters from characters for special events: We'll leave these invitations on the table in the mornings to announce special dining or parties with the characters. Mickey sent one letter to the house too!

Thanks to Pat and Amy for everything in this section of the post! (And much from the t-shirt post too! I didn't list names for the t-shirts because its been a while now and I don't remember everyone who helped me! But thank you everyone!) Pat and Amy made everything except for the autograph pages which a fellow DISer sent me and I do not know who made them. Thank you! Thank you!

More to come...

Thank you.
I have another question. How did you make the autograph books. I normally buy a card stock scrapbook but can't find them anymore. I have two bookd left but need I more. What kind of paper did you use and where did you get it Bound at?
TIA for the help

And finally...I didn't so much make the rest of these, but they were projects or inspired by the DISboard none the less.

ID bands for the kids customized with name and cell # by sayitbands.com: ($5 each inlcuding shipping)

Someone was kind enough to make a VERY comprehensive list of snacks included on the DDP up in that section of these boards:
Also allearsnet had a list of tastings at the Food & Wine Festival:

(I just condensed these to make it convenient to take with us to look at the night before each park.)

My MAJOR project was itinerary planning with Tour Guide Mike's site: We planned EVERYTHING and put it in a VERY COMPEHENSIVE spreadsheet. (Designed by someone on TGM.)

I think that's pretty much it! We did also use one of Pat's countdown calenders but you don't want to see that all "X"ed off now!

I THINK we're prepared!

I just bought card stock and trimmed with a paper cutter. We have a binder, but I hear you can have it done at an office store.

All of your projects are amazing!!!! I need to start working now for next year, but I don't have a creative bone in my body. I may have to "borrow" some of your ideas.

Have a great trip

First of all, WAY TO GO!!!!! They all look AMAZING!!!

I am making my auto books now and I found 5x7 white paper at AC Moore. It is in the "card" section and is made by Paplin's Basics an is the plain heavy paper, white. I took it to Staples and they said it would cost about $2.50 to bind for me.

I had a heck of a time looking for the paper because I did not want to have to trim it. But I could only find the paper without the envelopes at ACM so don't give up yet!

 

[rumblytumbly]

Wow. You must be an amazingly organized individual! Everything you've done looks absolutely terrific.

Do you hire yourself out to help other people get organized for their trips???

What is AC Moore. Is it a craft store and can I get to it online? I don't think we have one around here.
Thanks

OMG ... these are all amazing! You have done a great job of preparing all of these projects and organizing your trip. Have a BLAST!

Quick question ... did you use dark transfer paper for all of your shirts? Did you have to meticulously trim (like around the safari image)? Wow.

 

[bear74]

every thing looks great.

That's all I did! The safari and epcot shirts and the travel journal are a complete rip-off of someone else's projects! I let them know I was going to copy them, if that makes it any better!

 

[dr&momto2boys]

I would be way too expensive!!! If I calculated the time I put into this stuff, I probably could have paid for our entire vacation if I put in that many extra hours at work! I wish I was kidding!

Oh well, it's been very fun!!!

I used dark paper on all of the shirts except the white Epcot shirts and the pink HSM shirt. I did trim very meticulously!--or at least tried to!

It is fun isn't it? It makes the anticipation of the trip all that much more fun. Have a great trip.

 

[disneykibbes5]

Yes have a great trip. It looks like you all are going to have a great time.

 

[luvhockey]

Those are awesome. I'm loving doing my shirts.
I want to do the autograph books but I think I'm going to pass on them this trip.
We'll have pin trading for the boys, smashed pennies, epcot passports and T-shirts. I may leave the autographs for the second trip. Still waffling.
I have the journal cover also---Amy/MICKEY made it.

Have a great time
Angela
