~~Rissa's Mom said:Hi everyone..
I took a bit of time away from the boards after our trip. I got sick when I came home( at one point I lost my voice for a week) so that didn't help but also the after trip blues really hit.
Our trip was wonderfulalthough it went by way too quickly. We picked the girls up from school on Monday (Oct 3) and told them we had to bring some stuff to a golf course for my friend's work and we were just riding along to keep them company. (That's how we explained all the stuff covered up with a sheet in the back of the suv.) The girls didn't have a clue even when we stopped a a hotel in Georgia overnight. They really thought they had talked us in to stopping and going to Savannah the next day instead of home and school.
In the morning we gave them the mother / daughter Pop Century shirts I had made. We had them read the back of the shirts (Mother and Daughter Disney World Trip October 2005) and it still took a few minutes to sink in.
Our shirts were a hit with the CM who checked us in to Pop Century. He had us showing the fronts and backs to other CMs (show front, turn around and show the back, at least 6 times) that he kept bringing out.He then asked us to wait there a minute and then a whole group of CM's came out with a bucket filled with Pop Century Toys and key rings and disney candy etc. and balloons tied to it and they proclaimed us "Pop Century's Family of the Day." This was so special for the girls. Sarra said "Is this really happening. It feels like I'm dreaming."
The shirts were commented on many times while we were at Disney. Lots of people asked where we got them. I told them I had made them thanks to the help of all the great people on Dis Boards.
While we were CRTon October 5th in line for pictures with the Fairy Godmother the man standing near me commented that I must be from Dis Boards. I thought he'd seen the lime green ribbon on my backpack. But he said he hadn't even noticed that but recognized our shirts. LOL It wasn't until I later that I realized I was talking to Kevin (KMH1).Alyssa is absolutely adorable btw.
I just wanted to thank the great people on this thread for sharing all your photo editing knowledge.Our shirts wouldn't have turned out so wonderfully if it hadn't been for you. You had a big part of making our trip one our girls will remember and cherish for the rest of their lives.
Even after the point (that is coming all too soon) that a trip with mom is not cool.
Below is a link with pictures from our trip.

The first one is the infamous Cindy shirt with DS.
I am planning a friend birthday party for him on Friday so lots to do. I promise to post pictures of our shirts and vacation in general. If anyone has pictures of us in the parade we would love to see them.
my3princes said:Well actually we got back late Sunday night. I had to read through nearly 50 pages to catch up before I posted. There are some amazing new designs and design techniques since we left on our totally awesome adventure. We wore several shirt designs and all got attention. Our tie dye Mickey shirts with our names on the front definately got the most attention. We had people stopping us constantly asking us where we got them. I wish that I had printed out the instructions because I had to explain how I made them dozens of times. We had many magical moments including being selected to be Grand Marshalls in the October 16th Boo To You Parade (8 PM). I met several disers over the course of our vacation including:
dan & jacqueline from England
ScootersMom
SteamBoat Marti and Mgkkgdm
JenAnderson

It was a great trip and I will post a lengthy trip report soon.
Triplefigs we got a photo of Maleficient and her autograph. I will post when I find time to upload my photos.
We have been super busy since we got back as yesterday was my middle sons 8th birthday. If you ran into us at WDW you already knew that as he told anyone that would listen.

Anyway here are a couple of us in our tie dye shirts. We wore these on 2 different days and they had been washed before this photo. They washed very well, no fading or cracking.

The second picture was taken at the Shooting Arcade in Frontierland. We were walking out of the Country Store when a CM asked my 2 older boys to be part of the Shootout at high noon. They each got to shoot 25 times and each hit 15 targets. They each got a Magical Moments certificate, a badge (he gave the little guy one too) and he gave our family a fast pass to any ride in the park. We chose to use it on Buzz again.
I told you our trip was filled with Magical Moments. We were also given a Magical Moments certificate later that evening in Downtown Disney. Two CM's loved our shirts and presented us with a certificate for making our own magic. Very cool.

Edited to add: Here is a photo of the little guy with a tie dye face to match. You can also see the writing on the shirt.
What do you use to remove it? I haven't found an easy way yet.

They were all wearing I believe the Haunted Mansion Design on Black T-shirts. And one of them was wearing a Green Mickey head on her fanny pack.
Okay who were you?
My DDs (27 and 19) will get a kick out of being called "women."
At least now I know it wasn't on Small World!
