Disney Countdown Tutorial

I really wanted to create something for for our Disney Countdown. We leave in 60 days!! I plan to start this 30 days out. It was really easy to make. 

I used one of the leftover treat buckets from Sally's birthday party (Target $1 section). I painted some big popsicle sticks black and then used this Mickey punch to punch out 15 Mickey heads. I freehanded the bows and cut 15 red bows out. I used hot glue to attach them to the popsicle sticks. I typed up 30 activities for us to do leading up to our trip, printed them off, cut and put on the sticks using Modge Podge. The idea is for Sally to draw out a stick and for us to do that activity..one each day. Some take more prep work than others, so I may "help" her choose a atick on some days. 

Here is the list that I used:

*Have Mickey pancakes

*Make Mickey pizza

*Paint a picture of Mickey

*Have a Princess Spa Day

*Play with Mickey play-doh stuff

*Write a letter to a princess

*Write a letter to Minnie

*Eat Mickey doughnuts

*Make Mickey ice cream

*Have a tea party

*Make a princess wand

*Make a castle

*Fill our snack box

*Play Disney games on ipad

*Watch Disney parades on youtube

*Listen to the Disney parks CD

*Play Minnie memory

*Watch Princess and the Frog

*Watch Frozen

*Watch Cinderella

*Watch Tangled

*Watch Snow White

*Watch Aladdin

*Watch Sleeping Beauty

*Watch Little Mermaid

*Make Mickey shaped brownies or krispy treats

*Have a Mickey themed breakfast

*Have a Mickey lunch at school

*Buy a princess balloon at the store

*Buy princess plates and eat on them

*Have a princess themed lunch at school

Let me know if you have any fun ideas on how to prepare a 2 year old for Disney :)

Disney Craftiness: Stroller Sign

The countdown is on my friends...117 days until my personal Disney trip. To say I am excited is a bit of an understatement.

It's time to start getting crafty. I wanted to make a sign for Sally's stroller. If you have ever been to Disney, you have probably seen the sea of strollers outside each ride and restaurant. It's quite possible that there will be someone else with the exact stroller that you have so its a good idea to do something to make your stroller stand out.

Here is what you need:

scrapbook paper

chipbord shape

modge podge

foam brush

scissors

Since you want this sign to last for several days, you need something thick. You could use a wooden shape, but I chose to use a page from a chipboard album. The whole album was $1 at Michaels. I only needed one page so I can save the others for another project. 

I created a word document with "Waltograph" font and printed it out onto scrapbook paper. I used the chipboard page and traced it onto the scrapbook paper...cut it out and modge podge it onto the chipboard shape. If you have a machine that does vinyl letters, you could easily use that too. I then found free Mickey head shapes and resized them I cut one out and also modge podged it on.

I punched two hole in it and used ribbon to tie it onto the stroller. I love the way it turned out!
