[lysahester]

After stalking these boards for months, collecting many images, and drooling over so many creative brains, I am happy to say that I think I am ready for my next Disney trip! I will be posting images of all the projects I have made over the next several days, so check back!!

Many thanks to all of the immensely talented DISigners on this board. Without them, my trip would be far less magical! Thank you all so much for sharing all of your talents and time!!

A very special thanks to Marion (RustManFan), Linda (Shadowryter), Mel (bababear), Millie, Tebi73, Amy, The Alice, Orcapotter, Pat, Dom13, Dolly, Vickxo, and if I am leaving anyone out, please forgive me!! All of you DISigners are so creative and talented!! Thank you so much!!

PROJECT 1 - Travel Package sent from Mickey
My DS6 will soon be receiving a box of goodies from "Mickey" full of games, activities and fun things to do on the 6 hour car ride to Disney. He will also be getting a personalized bag and a shirt to wear on the trip down.

PROJECT 2 -- My Trip Journal

I created a journal for myself so that I could record all my memories. I made it with Microsoft Publisher, printed it, and covered the front and back covers with scrapbook paper. So excited to use this!!

Each day of our trip has a title page and several blank pages for recording thoughts and memories from that day

Project 3 -- My Disney Binder

This book holds all of my reservation info, park info, crowd trackers, show times, character greeting info, photo ops, and any other scrap of info I may need while touring the parks!! The best thing is that it is 8 x 5 so it will fit right into my park bag!! (I will post pics of my cute bag soon!!)

Dining Section has ADR info, must have snacks, QS menus, etc

MK Section

Epcot Section

DHS Section

AK Section

We are driving down from SC on 9/23 and staying somewhere offsite. On 9/24 we will check in to POP, gather our tickets, and head to Epcot for the day. Hopefully our room will be ready, because I have a ton of surprises for my family from "Mickey".

We will have a welcome letter for POP, a welcome letter from Mickey and the Gang, a welcome letter for Epcot, a diner invite to the Garden Grill, and matching t-shirts for all 3 of us

My son will then have his own basket of goodies with the following:

a new camera
autograph book
coupon book
thrill ride coupon book
meal autograph book
Journal/scavenger book
Lots of glow sticks, glow necklaces, glow bracelets etc.
Pirate Tattoos

My DH will be getting an Epcot drink around the world photobook passport I made, and I will be getting coupons for pick a pearl and a henna tattoo.

Hopefully I will get to post most of these photos tonight!!!

This is all of the welcome letters and invites. One for Pop, Epcot, Garden Grill Dinner Invite, and several coupons

Our matching t-shirts for our 1st day at Epcot

WOW! You're all set for your trip!

I really like the journal and binder you made but then, I love that backpack from Etsy!!!

 

[Monknmom]

I love all of the stuff that you have posted so far! We are driving down too and I plan on making lots of things like this for our December trip so I am subscribing to "borrow" some ideas from you!

 

[lysahester]

Ok... here are a couple more things that I have done

Epcot drink Around the World Passport for DH

The Passport is Natalie's Disign. All I did was create a photobook with the pass port, and add an additional page for his comments.

DS's main Autograph book made with Marion's cover & Natalie's pages

Character meal autograph book

 

[lysahester]

I also made my DS a coupon book. I went a little crazy printing all the fabulous coupons the Disigners made, so I backed them with card stock and had them bound into a book he can easily carry around.

The Alice made the cover for this book

I also made my son a "Thrill Ride Coupon Book". the last time we went to WDW, he was too afraid to ride most of the Thrill rides. I know he would love them once he got on, but he refused. That was fine, but I would love for him to experience them with us. I made him a coupon book to check off each thrill ride, and he will get a "prize" for each one he conquers.

So... Each morning my DS will receive a surprise letter from a character, a t-shirt, and other goodies. I also have itineraries for our family for each day.

Here is my package that I will set out the first night for Day #2

Last project!!

This is the one I am most excited to give to my DS! I created a Journal/scavenger hunt book just for him. It has a page for each land in each park. Hidden Mickeys to find, Trivia to answer, Attractions to rate etc. I created it in Microsoft publisher, and converted it to a Jpg file. Please let me add that the idea for this book came from the wonderful Dolly. I only expanded on her original Journal!! Thanks Dolly!!

Here is the Cover Page

here is a link to all pages in my photobucket (there were 60+ pages and I didn't want to post them all). I would be happy to share the publisher file with anyone that would like it.

Oh I love that Epcot hunt that you made! It gives him something to do! You are very talented! I want to know if I can just print some from there? I also want to make a hunt for while we are driving (there are a few places I found on roadsideamerica.com that we are going to look at and stretch our legs to! I love all of your creations that you had put together with different DISingners! Thank you very much for sharing!

 

[chaoscent]

I am sure many DISigners are smiling tonight. Thanks for posting. You did a great job. Plus I see you did some personalization and DISigning yourself. Penny

Thanks!! You can save the image and print from photobucket, but I am honestly not sure how it would turn out. If you give me your email, either in this post or pm, I can email you the file and you can change it if you like and print it!

love these. quick question where did you find the pics for the thrill ride book. I want to do something similar for DD's

 

[lysahester]

All of these are RustManFan's. I found them in her Theme Park folder on her photobucket! She has awesome stuff!! I did that on powerpoint. I added the photos and just a simple text box for the words. RustManFan (Marion) also made the cover for me!!
