Pinning for My Dream Disney Vacation
I love Pinterest!
For those of you unfamiliar with the magic of Pinterest, it is, in it's own words, "a tool for collecting and organizing the things you love." I've used it to plan and execute a complete transformation of my daughter's bedroom from her Winnie the Pooh Nursery days to her current enchanted forest, create cute teacher gifts and even collect an amazing array of fonts. My favorite use of Pinterest, however, is to collect and organize crafts, ideas and inspirations for my next Disney trip. Consider this bonus Pixie Dust!
My current Top Ten Disney Pins include:
Yep, my kids are pretty cute, when they want to be. In the interest of full disclosure, I am in no way associated with the above etsy seller, although she did use my fan photo for her site. I just love her stuff.
We love paper chains, countdown calendars and all things that let us see how close our vacation is getting.
As my Countdown+ app so cheerfully puts it, "Only 145 days, 3 hours and 56 minutes until Port Arrival"
Nice and chunky, these books were easy to flip open, big enough for the characters to sign and easy to tell whose was whose from the outside.
and last but not least, always a total lifesaver,
Each of my children love doing Disney Cruise themed lapbooks and notebooks.
Particularly during the travel to and from the ship, these do a fairly good job at keeping "are we there yet" at bay. I filled ours with road trip scavenger hunts, lessons of semaphore flag ABCs (secret codes are big with my son) and map activities. I find the notebooks the easier of the two to make and manage, but my kids prefer the lapbooks.
Only 175 days 3 hours and 4 minutes until my next Disney vacation! Better start pinning some pixie dust!
