Can't wait to see the Binder!

Oh Tracy! So glad to see you posted again. I thought maybe you decided to leave us! Sounds like things have been hoppin' for you. I am anxious to hear about the binder...and see pics if you have them... but I know life gets in the way of all the Disney fun!

Binders are a funny thing. Some DISers swear by them, some DISers think they are silly, and some DISers love looking at others ideas. I never did a binder until the trip with the kids. I wanted somewhere to keep all our stuff in one place and I enjoyed making things for it. I thought long and hard whether to do one for this trip. Bill thought we didn’t need one (SILLY MAN), but I had decided I NEEDED one since we were doing two trips. Well that went out the window and my little binder just stared at me wanting me to stop neglecting it, so I decided I would still use it for this trip.

Here is the long discarded Ip Dip Cover:

Here is the current cover:

First page:

Confirmation section:

Packing list:

Goals for each park, these are from the last trip, sorry if the pics are bad:

Window clings I purchased to take with us:

I like them both, but think only the Mickey sheet will come with us.

Window clings I plan on making:

I saw this design I really liked from Milliepie on the creative boards:

I decided to tweak it a bit:

Mousekeeping Envelopes:

That is how far I have gotten. The next things I will be working on are the day to day plans.

Next up… I thought the dates for our trip were Dec. 1 – Dec. 13th but I said we were doing 14 days so what is the deal?

Oh you have given me ideas for my binder...

And you are doing mousekeeping envelopes, I promised Terry I wouldn't do envelopes this trip, but you are making me NEED to make some...

Terry's gonna be mad at you!!!

Don't do it!! I don't want Big Daddy mad at me!

 

[Hedy]

Wow, that's beautiful!

 

[Tinkermom76]

Do you take the binder everywhere with you? I usually just carry my ADR sheet and a print out of the park goals sheet with me.

 

[mom2mek]

Tracy, WOW!!! Love your binder! Your window clings are fabulous - how fun! And I love the Walt Disney design and your anniversary design! Everything looks so fabulous - you are going to have a wonderful trip!

[KathyRN137]

Yay!!

Count me in as one of those DISers who love to look at all the wonderful stuff you creative folks make!

I love your binder cover and the fabulous window clings...especially "Thank you Mr. Disney." That one made my eyes a bit moist. (I'm such a DIS-Nerd!)

And the mousekeeping envelopes are really great... all I ever do is throw a few Mickey stickers on mine!!

What's up with Day 14??

The binder looks great! I find they are kind of like a security blanket for me. Even if I never look in it, I know all that info is there if I need it and there is a lot of peace in that.

You guys have been busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mrsksomeday]

Wow, that's beautiful!

Thank you!

The binder stays in the room, I have a word file in my phone with all the confirmation numbers, I just like having everything in one place. It helps me keep in the Disney spirit leading up to the trip. Right now it is on our coffee table where I can see the cover and smile .

Tracy, WOW!!! Love your binder! Your window clings are fabulous - how fun! And I love the Walt Disney design and your anniversary design! Everything looks so fabulous - you are going to have a wonderful trip!

Sara

Thanks Sara, I hope we have a great time. I always worry .

Kathy

Walt brought us all together, I have to thank him. I am thinking of making that into tee shirts for Bill and me to wear on Dec. 5th, that was his birthday. As for day 14 that will be explained this week.

The binder looks great! I find they are kind of like a security blanket for me. Even if I never look in it, I know all that info is there if I need it and there is a lot of peace in that.

You guys have been busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has become a security blanket for me too, that is a good way to put it.

Um, excuse me? Why did I not know that this was going? Oh, because I am a LOSER. Forgive me

I love reading about all your plans. Can't wait to read more

 

[brookelizabeth]

You two have been busy, busy! But it sounds like things are going well. I hope the meetings and the new manager help.

I'm not a binder person, but I don't think they are silly at all, and I LOVE to look at all the creative designs by people like you! Such wonderful work, it looks awesome! I really like your window clings too!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Wow I love everything that you have! Binders are great for planning and keepsakes and I love your creativity.... it definately motivates me to crank mine up a notch. I love your window clings, I have to find those too and the LGMH is great! How do you make a window cling?

 

[addictedtothemouse]

Do you design your own Mousekeeping envelopes? You're soooo creative! I love the window clings you've designed.
I made a binder for DD's trip in May but it was pretty basic. I really like yours.
I know all about the pain of cancelling a trip. I had to cancel my October trip due to work, but can't bring myself to remove my ticker.

Hi Janet !! Oh you are so not a loser, this is probably the 3rd or 4th attempt at a PTR for us this year. Thank you so much for reading.

You two have been busy, busy! But it sounds like things are going well. I hope the meetings and the new manager help.

We have been very busy and it seems that we always get stopped in the hall by people telling us all the crap (excuse my language) that is going on around the building property. My mantra is "did you call the police, did you make a written report at our managers office?" I can't do anything, they saw the bad stuff going on . Bill and I are determined to get things back to how they used to be and it seems management is wanting that too.

I had fun making stuff for this trip.

Wow I love everything that you have! Binders are great for planning and keepsakes and I love your creativity.... it definately motivates me to crank mine up a notch. I love your window clings, I have to find those too and the LGMH is great! How do you make a window cling?

Staples and other places have window cling paper. Just remember if the image has wording make sure to reverse (mirror image) it before printing so you can apply the window cling to the window inside the room.

Do you design your own Mousekeeping envelopes? You're soooo creative! I love the window clings you've designed.
I made a binder for DD's trip in May but it was pretty basic. I really like yours.
I know all about the pain of cancelling a trip. I had to cancel my October trip due to work, but can't bring myself to remove my ticker.

I designed all the envelopes except the one with the stick people (guy in wheelchair), I thought that was so adorable I had to use it.

I am so very sorry you had to cancel your trip, it is so depressing isn't it? I hope you get to reschedule it soon .

Thanks! Things are extremely busy, I am hoping it calms down a bit soon.

Amy, you make some awesome stuff. I loved that guide you made for your friend.

What ever works for you, I don't take the binder to the parks, it stays in the room. I just like having something that keeps everything together.
