Oh, yes we are! **home from SSR, with pics and final thoughts, p.10, post 139

We just returned from our first cruise (Members' Cruise) and 3 nights at BLT - I am in Disney withdrawl so reading this helps ease my symptoms!!:lmao::lmao::lmao:

MORE MORE MORE!!!!!
 
Glad you could join us!

I totally should be doing a million other things, but you know what I spent today doing? Finishing my digital scrapbook of our last Disney trip! :rotfl: We absolutely cannot go again if we don't have the last one completed. I'm just gonna take more photos and they'll get all backed up and mixed up in my mind. Anybody feel my pain?

:rolleyes1

I'll get it ordered here in a few minutes. Checking that off my list. Oh, my list. I should probably start one of those...
I'm enjoying your report! What a lovely family.
I scrapbook too.usually the old fashioned way..sooo many to do. Right now I have 2 going from our Disneyland trip in May one for brother and sister in law and one for other brother in law who went with us. Stayed in a 1 br at VGC. SPOILED! Also need to do one for a Sea World Legoland trip we took with daughter and grandkids..also due by Christmas..I really need to retire so I can get all the books done :)

Oh, the old Post Disney Distress Syndrome. I feel your pain. Even in the final days before a trip, sometimes I think how close it brings me to the end of it...no, no, no! Put those thoughts away!

I enjoy traditional scrapping, too. I always will. But with 4 kids, I need some things to be just easy! I got my Storybook ordered yesterday, now all I have to do is wait for it. So excited. Will post pics.

Thanks! Disney is our "thing." The memories that bind us. I want them to grow up and look back on it all with happiness and do it again with their kids. Won't that be something??

Combining these last two comments...wouldn't it be funny to have a scrapbook of all the un-funny moments on our Disney trips?! :scared1::lmao: Like when DD13 puked all over the carpet in our BCV room when she was 10. Or when DH head exploded over, well, anything! Or when DS16 got so mad because DH wouldn't give him his own Kimmunicator, that he might have to stoop to share! :lmao: Call me evil, but families are funny!!
 

Here are a few of my favorites from last year's album that I ordered yesterday:

So nice! That is some great software..I made a Picaboo book once but even though I have a newish pretty good computer I had memory warnings :( That is great!
 
we have 39 days left and its just the 2 of us adults (I say that term loosely when I am going to Disney!) so I dont nearly have all you do in terms of printing out and getting prepared but I am feeling very unorganized right now! :worship:

I better go check my PTR and get some things moving...:rotfl:

I think its so great that you are decorating your van for travel - I love to see that on the roads and how much more fun is it when youre driving!! :banana:

I hope your son feels better!

Thanks. He's not too bad, not as bad as yesterday, but with a fever at all, I don't send them to school. He's watching the Weather Channel right now, something on tornadoes that he recorded. He's such a science nut!

Decorating the van...thanks for the reminder! I need window markers! I want to pick up the kids with big signs on the windows that say WDW or Bust! Where can I get the big fat markers? Hmmm. Anyone know?

Yep, it's an awesome software. My Storybook was 70 pages and I probably did the last 30 just yesterday and Monday, during the day. Do you know how long that would take in a traditional album?? :lmao: I love all my scrapbooking, but when I need it done, I do Storybooks.

You make planners?? wow...very cool

I do make a planner. For years I struggled to keep it all together, sometimes in my head (yeah, that really works well :rolleyes1) or floating around in the diaper bag (thankfully the diaper bag days are long gone) and I just got tired of everyone standing around looking at me like I'm an idiot for not being prepared. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a military mom with a minute by minute schedule...I just like to collect all the important info in one place and in my possession. I don't take it to the parks, but we do read it all the way down and study the park hours and make plans.
 
Love your PTR!!
We are leaving on the 7th staying till the 16th at VWL!! :woohoo:
I love all your scrapbooking pages. Beautiful!! What wonderful memories!!

Sorry if I am making you repeat yourself, but what software do you use? I'd love to create some storybooks for my son. I'm not a scrapbooker, but what you've done sounds like something I can handle. Thanks!

It's called Storybook Creator Plus 3.0 by Creative Memories. Super easy to use. CM is my day job, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask here or PM me, too.
 
CONFESSION #1:

I listen to Disney music all the time. I mean ALL THE TIME. In the van, at home, even when the kids are all in school. I think we have every Park CD they have ever made. When I'm working on the computer, I even pull up youtube and listen to Stacy and the 2010 Must Do's!! I love listening to DIS Radio! There might be a name for this sickness, but I'm not sure what it is or if I want a cure. I'm happy in my Fantasyland. :cutie:

Here's that Stacy video. I know you want to bookmark it.

Anybody with me?? :yay:
 
I Love Love Love the poster!!:love:

Thank you for sharing!




Yes, things are looking up and not just because we're going to WDW.



Thank you!



Thanks! That reminds me that I made a poster of our photos with Mickey through all the years on all our trips. It's for our Mickey bathroom. Of course we have a Mickey bathroom, doesn't everyone?

In case you're wondering, the other trips not mentioned as using our DVC points, obviously there were years before that point and we stayed at various WDW resorts. But also, my inlaws built a vacation home 15 minutes outside of WDW and graciously allow us to stay there or join them there. Yep, we are spoiled.
 
:wave2: Hi! Aren't you so excited that our trips are so close?? Have fun, VWL is lovely and my DH's fav.

We are very excited!!
It is our first trip at VWL!! We fell in love with it when we went to have dinner at Whispering Canyon!
