How do you lay out your Disney albums?

[labdogs42]

I do mostly chronological, but I might mix together all of my best pictures of Wishes instead of scrapping every time we saw wishes (like this past trip when we saw it three times, Illuminations once, and the P&P party fireworks once!) If I scrapped all of them, I'd have a whole album of fireworks! (now there's an idea...)

Thanks for all of your responses. I do believe that I'm going to do these albums by topic, just because it's been so long and I can't remember a lot of what went on! I just gotta sit down and work on them before more time goes by!

I am another chronologically kind of gal. It would drive me nuts any other way. At the end of the books I usually have a couple of pages of miscellanous pictures that didnt fit anywhere and title it Mouse Memories or something like that.

That's why I love digital -- you can tell what date and time you took the pictures!! Gotta love it!

I did take digital on the trip, and yes, it's wonderful. It's that I've forgotten (as in an uber-blonde moment) what we did. All the little fun things and such. I wrote some of them down, but it's just been too long to remember. My memory is so short these days...

When I get like that I just create the pages with pictures/embellishments and go without journaling. It's worked for me. Sometimes when I'm in the process of laying it all out the memories come back to me.

I have scrapbooks for each park that I add to after each trip. I also have one just dedicated to seasons and celebrations at Disney. This books starts with the 25th anniversary, MK 30 anniversary, 100 years of Magic and then Christmas and flower and garden. Some of the celebrations are also represented in park books

I've done 2 in chronological order. One for DS8 and one for DH and I. I theme albumns if they are by holiday, recipes, fun things.... etc. Good luck though....

Our trip is in 13 days and I have been thinking about the album as I have been planning. I am taking a plastic envelope for each park to collect all of my maps,receipts,etc. I think this album is going to be done chronologically because we will only be in each park for 1 day. I'll have a title page, an anticipation page for when the kids found out we were going this month instead of in July, travel page and arrival day. After that I will have pages for each park-MK,AK and DHS, departure day and travel home.

I am planning to make each child an autograph album but I will probably have a couple of pages in the main album as well.

I always due my Disney albums by days.....am a chronological girl at heart for all my albums>

I also do mine chronologically and create "chapters" for each day. I try to do lots of journaling to describe what we did each day. I start with pre-trip stuff & arrival. Throughout I add in misc type pages - like my son's new found obsession for Jack Skellington on our last trip. Or a page of photographs that my autistic son took.
Chronological makes sense for me because it becomes our Disney "story".

Next time I want to also do an alphabet book, or a book of character meetings. Some specialized smaller books - maybe 8 x 8 instead of 12 x 12.

The only completed Disney albums in our house are themed, chronologically!

In other words, the one of all the WDW Xmas decorations, according to when we saw them. Yes, I did take a couple hundred photos of just the Xmas decorations! And if I didn't get it one day (two visits each to MK & Epcot), then I got it on the second.

The three character albums (65 characters, some more than once) in chronological order.

DD's "story" album (I wove all of her adventures into a story) was also that way.

Besides, the kids wore costumes everyday, so I had to go chronologically!

My 1st book is chronological and my second one I think is going to be an ABC book so that one will not be chronological.
