I was wondering if someone could help me out!!
We are visiting Disney in December and staying offisite at Windsor Hills.
We have always wanted to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge, but our budget just can not afford it.

As a suprise, I have booked 1 addtl night onto our trip, staying at AKL savannah view club level. This is our disney dream come true!

I make all the travel arrangements, so my dh will never know!!
I am so excited. I know that our 2 dd's, almost 2 & 4 will love having a balcony overlooking the savannah. We will spend the extra 2 days hanging out at the resort, before taking a late flight home.

I was hoping someone could design a fun letter to give my family the morning that they think we are leaving to head home, telling them about the stay at AKL. Maybe decorated with Mickey and some AKL stuff?

I was thinking something along these lines...

You've worked hard all year and the girls have been good.
Everyone had a great time, and I knew that you would!

Eight days of fun, But now it is done.

Turn your frown upside down, and
Don't be sad that your trip is through!

I have a special surprise for you!

Grab your bags and head to the car,
there is still one last thing to Do!
You're going to Animal Kingdom Lodge,
A Club Level Room, with a Savannah View!

Merry Christmas!

Mickey Mouse

I really like it, thanks!
Can you be sure to sign it from Mickey Mouse and use his sig if possible?
Thanks again! I can't wait to see it all put together!
 
Almost done. Got a busy day at work today but I should have it done in the next day or 2.
 
That's okay... I wasn't trying to rush you!!
I am far to "untalented" at these things to hurry someone who is, lol.

I really appreciate it!!

Thanks again!! I am so excited for them!!
 
How's this?

Thank you so much!!! I love it!!

How would I print it, and what size / type of paper do you recommend?

Thanks again!! I am very excited!
 
You should be able to copy it and paste it in to a program like Word and print it from there. It's designed to be printed on 8.5 X 11 paper with about .25" around it. You'll have to adjust the borders to .25" all the way around and possibly resize the image to fill the page.

As for paper...the whiter the paper is the brighter the colors will come out. Another option I just thought of is I can remove the "paper" and leave just the border, the animals and the text and you could print it on parchment paper. It would affect the colors of the border but it might give it an old world look.
