Twas the night before Disney book?

[popedisney]

I just saw the cutest poem on the disney family night thread:

Twas the night before Disney,
and all through the house,
no one was sleeping,
because they'd soon see the Mouse!

The children were stuffing
their backpacks with treats-
coloring books and videos
and all kinds of sweets!

I have no idea who made this up but I love it!
I was thinking that it would be a cute idea to make a "book" to read the night before our trip....but of course I have no idea how to do that! Has anyone done this or is anyone up for a challenge? I thought maybe there was a template somewhere and we could print the pages on cardstock and then either fold them or cut them to put together. Just thought it would be a cute idea....thanks for anyone who tries this!

Here is a version that I had saved...maybe they can be combined to make a longer poem:

Twas the night before Disney, and all through the place
The bags were all packed, without one empty space.
The party was had, the games were all played
We’ve gone over and over the plans that we’ve made
So, it’s off to bed now, kids don’t make a peep
I know it’s real hard, but just try to fall asleep
Sweet dreams everyone, tomorrow’s almost here
Sweet dreams about Magic, Celebrations and Cheer!

Oh, I love this idea, I would love to see disigns made for a book too!

Love the idea. Can't wait to see if someone can make it happen

Here is my attempt at combining the two poems:

Twas the night before Disney, and all through the place
The bags were all packed, without one empty space.

No one was sleeping, because they'd soon see the Mouse!
There was lots of excitement all through the house.

The parents were stuffing the children’s backpacks with treats-
autograph books, t-shirts and all kinds of sweets!

Hopefully we haven’t forgotten anything they prayed…
They'd gone over and over the plans that they made.

So, it’s off to bed now, kids don’t make a peep
I know it’s real hard, but please try to sleep.

Sweet dreams everyone, tomorrow’s almost here
Sweet dreams about Magic, Celebration and Cheer!

Here is an addition if someone wants to include our thread...you could stick it in before the "so, it's off to bed now":

The suitcases were bulging with things that they’d made
Thanks to the DISigners who came to their aide!

There are t-shirts from Marion, candy from Mel
and Natalie’s autograph and Epcot books, boy aren’t they swell!

There are beautiful invites from Natalie and Wendy,
And let’s not forget the autograph pages from Penny!

What else have I packed that I’m forgetting…hum, let me see
Oh yes there was Mickey’s Grand Welcome from Dolly.

There were so many helpers I can’t possibly list them all…
Each of them so creative in big ways and small.

That's Sweet Dolly!!!

They DISigned journals, activity books, and T-shirts galore,
Luggage tags, candy wrappers, and oh so much more!

The suitcases are bulging with things that had been made
Thanks to the DISigners who came to their aide!

Everything is ready to go and all packed up tight,
Ready for the next day when our journey takes flight.

So, it’s off to bed now, kids don’t make a peep
I know it’s real hard, but please try to sleep.

Sweet dreams everyone, tomorrow’s almost here
Sweet dreams about Magic, Celebration and Cheer!

LOL - so true and even better!

I've been a DIS member for about a month now, but only in the last few days did I discover this Creative side.

I am amazed every time I open another thread at the creative geniuses in here. There are so many ideas in here that I want to use for our first trip. And it just blows me away every time that so many of you offer these freely to people.

Thank you so much for all the creative work you do!

I hope someone creative can make the book! I have no idea how to or I might attempt it....I know someone on this board can do it!

Ah Dolly
That is a sweet Poem Hon!
Love it!
The part about the suitcases fits me,lol
Hugs Mel

Even if no one makes a book...this would be a GREAT poem for a scrapbooking page. You could tweak it to fit your family and the DISers that helped you.
