Another item I found at Michael's arts and crafts was a create your own board book. It is a blank board book with 14 pages. You can create anything you want out of it, sturdy cardboard. I decided to purchase one $7.95. I am going to have the characters sign it and then post pictures inside.
this one doesnt have windows but I know I have seen
God love ya! Glancing through it, I was cracking up that some of our funny friends' tips are included!
I have to keep it comical! Dont want everyone being too serious while they pack!
Since I'm planning on taking a carry-on that is larger than I usually do, does anyone know just how large my purse can be?
If the kids take a carry-on can they still take their backpacks as a personal item?
Just trying to find a way to take everything.
I believe most airlines state a carry on and a purse no real dimentions for the purse. I would figure as long as you can put it in the overhead and under your chair your good to go. As for the backpacks that might be pushing it, they may only allow 1 item for the kids. Might call your airlines and as a "hypothetical" questions LOL
I am not all that creative, can someone tell me what a board book is? Sounds really neat. Lois
I cant find one with cut outs to slide in pics but its like this (think of old Golden Books of kids story's like that a hard board book)
Funny story
I was at Michael's today buying stuff for our Pirate shirts, which are awesome, if I must say so myself
and a woman said to me
" are you making pirate shirts" I said yes for a
Disney cruise, we got to talking she is donig the Western in November and the she asked me the best questione ever,
" Do you go on the DisBoards"
I was so excited, I havent meant any people who dis IRL, wooooohooooo
Hi Muffin07 if you decide to lurk
Ha Thats awesome... When we plan on going to the World and other parks Im going to have a badge made for my backpack of a neon green mickey head and my dis name see if that may spark any conversations LOL
I have been requesting free samples of laundry detergent to bring along so I don't have to buy it there. P

Oh that was a brillient idea! why didnt i think of that LMAO (where the smiley that hits his head with his hand like DUH when ya need it)
I finally won a dress on ebay
. Only took 3 trys. Should I keep looking or be happy with the one O what is a girl to do???
WOOHOO congrats! Cant wait to see it!
Downy Wrinkle Free to get out the wrinkles.....really works.
Oh good I got some a while back when my Tar'jay (Target) had it on sale!
I also did the same thing with toothpaste and any other samples I could get my hands on.........
Crissi
BRILLIANT IDEA (smacks head again, and I call myself a OCVP.. for same LOL)
OH NO!!! Did you say disposible clothes.....
I was the one who originally mentioned throwing away old panties daily and look where that took us. The last time we left the kids sand toys on CC, I tossed my pirate outfit and a pair of shoes. Maybe we go about this wrong.......take your old clothes, pitch them and buy new when we get home......
Seriously Im thinking this is the way to go LOL. We will have sand toys and water toys that will be left (but im mailing those down, arent you proud of me Charlie Im going to mail something... now to just get it boxed up LOL)
Wow, that late? Do they get out early in the summer? When I was a kid we used to start in Sept, but now they start mid Aug. in California AND they get 3 weeks winter vacation. I never got that when I was in school.
THATS what I was saying, and mine this yr get a short day EVERY Wed and not every other Wed like before. Mine also get 2weeks at Thanksgiving, and 2 for spring break instead of 1. (oh wait mine only get 2 for winder) lol but still they get every holiday known to mankind too
(but im not bitter or anything LOL)
I have a question.. If we do decide to do WDW what one park should we visit? We have never been and I don't know if we will ever be able to come back. I am thinking we may do it for one day. Or should we do
MNSSHP instead?
Tonya
HAHA I see Arin is rubbing off on ya!
Ok speaking from only doing the parks when I was 7 and we only did the world... I would do the MK... or Epcot. Ya figure you could always do MK or Hollywood here in Cali. They are pretty much alike.. somewhat. But Epcot is well nothing like we have here.. YET at the same time the boys may be wanting to do the "real" disney park. (ya i know no help to you what so ever huh sorry! lol.

heres the schedual of whats open when

MK- Oct 2,9,16,23,30
Epcot- Oct 7,14,21,28
Hollywood- Oct 4,11,18,28

NOW MY TIP
*If you have one.. or find it may come in good use buy a Camelbak
its basically a backpack that holds liquid. You can find them in many sizes from 1qt 3-5qts maybe more? Usually Military surplus stores have them the simple/ small qty models run from $15 up.
A Visual...
Great to fill up with water for when you are in port.
also great to conseal... other liquids
* when packing shoes use the insides.. put jewlery in them then stuff them with socks.
*If you are packing for multiple members of your family. Put a lil bit of everyones clothing in each suitcase. THIS way if god forbid the airlines looses a bag, someone will have a few things to wear until the bag is found or untill you buy more clothes. (If your flying solo, your SOL lol.. no just pack a change of clothes in your carry on JUST IN CASE!)
* also if you plan on doing the parks... a great idea is to find tatoo paper to print on then make the kids tattoos that state if lost call here.. with your cell #. Great for lil kids but also bigger kids that may panic and forget the #. (Im planning on sticking one on E cuz he always forgets our #
)
Found this off the DIS board
If Lost Tattoe's
Do what we do best.....keep shopping!!!
