We're Sailing to....Disneyland? Lots of Pics! GANGSTA KINGDOM 8/31

[MAGICFOR2]

More excitement for me today! I opened the mailbox and there was a brand new copy of Disney Files, the DVC magazine in the box!!!! Of course I dropped everything to read it cover to cover..... there was lots of Disneyland news!

1. Because of the new Indiana Jones movie, (which by the way, we saw last night - fun! ), they are temporarily removing Aladdin and Jasmine in Adventureland and will have an Indiana Jones feature - photo ops and maps with clues, character visits.

2. Indiana Jones enhanced scenes on Jungle Cruise

3. "Random acts of Indy" can unfold at any time?????

4. New monorail cars, Mark VII have started running!

5. Toy Story Mania descriptions were included - it will be open when we get there!

6. A new California dream home is being built - with innoventions type technology for the dream home of the future - a family rotates through the house interacting with guests and demonstrating a "digital lifestyle." Not sure what the projected opening is.

There's lots of news on things coming up for WDW, too - that's what I love about Disney - always changing!

Tammie - Your shirts came out so cute! Are those Old Navy tanktops you used? I was thinking of using them also for my shirts! And the gift bags are a really good idea!

Tammie- Just got around to reading your Pre Trippie it sounds like so much fun. Those shirts are just too cute! I love the ones for your DGD and DGS. I hope you have a blast.

Thanks Cammie! We got the tanks at Walmart -DDIL has a really long torso, so these were long like she wanted them. We were a little worried about ironing on top of the ribbing, but it worked fine. She'll just have to be careful not to stretch the front too much.

Jillian! Glad you're here, and thanks. I can't wait to see Disney through the babies' eyes!

Hi! I'm glad you're here - I posted a reply earlier and then the DIS went down and I lost it all. Here is the link to RumblyTumbly's design site on photobucket. The baseballs are under Sports:

RumblyTumbly is kind enough to share. I believe she will customize for you on the DISign board. My DDIL copied and pasted to Microsoft Paint, then put in the 08, then made the Team Manfull tag and added it to the design. She copied it to Word so we could print it on T-shirt transfers. Be sure to use dark transfers for anything other than white, because the background shows through on light Transfers.

Have fun designing and come back! I'll visit your TR, too!

Okay, we're a month away from the day we leave, so today Donald and I and Tink made a countdown calender! DH and I made a trip to Home Depot to get the necessary supplies I don't know what all of us DISers will do if Home Depot stops carrying the Disney paint or the Mickey head paint chips! Donald was in charge of the placement - turned out really fun. Here he is with his project:

Looks good!

I was just looking over our trip plans and I see a change to make. We'll be staying in Merced at Springhill Suites, as Donald is dying to go to a Chuck E Cheese, and there happens to be one in Merced! We are thinking that we'll leave town around noon, and it will be good to have "a destination" every night - "today we're driving to Chuck E Cheese - its far far away!" will make the 5 hr drive easier for a 3 yr old! We hope.


The Bakersfield day we will look forward to him seeing his little cousins, and the next day we're driving to Disneyland!

Congrats, Bloodhound! It's always good when you get your plans settled! I think you'll like John Wayne - it's much simpler than LAX.

US rocks in LA - not so much in Orlando! You'll have to post a pic on Jurassic Park! Love SW - heard great things about the Zoo, but haven't done it yet.

Since you're out exploring, Medieval Times is great in LA - not so much in Orlando - it's about 30-40 minutes away from Anaheim - not sure where - I wasn't driving!

There's also a new Pirate dinner show near there too, but we haven't tried it yet.

Have fun planning - I'll see you on your PTR!
