Adventure In The Great Wide Somewhere

Last August, I ran across a pin on pinterest touting the idea that: " If you write a letter to your child's favorite Disney character they will write back and send an autographed picture. This is the address. // cc @Barbara Acosta Parr Bar."  Our Letters The address shown in the original pin is: Attn: (Disney Character) Walt Disney World Communications PO Box 10040 Lake Buena Vista, FL 32380-0040 As I  blogged at the time , we weren't certain we would get any response (especially from Luke Skywalker), but the kids really enjoyed writing letters to their favorite Disney friends.  Interestingly enough, Rapunzel did show up on our cruise. Well guess how surprised I was when in the mail yesterday, what should appear but two large postcards for our kids?  Kylee is still busy celebrating her birth day month. Are these in response to the letters they wrote in August? Are they because we recently returned from a Disney cruise? Honest...

How do you bring your vacation back home with you? If you need me, I'll be pinning some ideas for "My House Goes Disney- Disney Cruise Line Edition". Which, to the best of my knowledge, is...

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: 10.
