In all of our trips to Disney, I have never taken a picture of a princess. Wow! I just realized that. I have boys, but you think one would have wondered by. That's funny! Now that I think about it, in all the times I had been to Disneyland/DisneyWorld before DD, I don't think I ever had any princess pictures either! Lots of pics with Mickey/Minnie, Tigger, Donald/Daisy, etc. and not a single princess over probably 5-6 Disney trips. Guess you could say I'm not much of a girly girl, LOL. Our DD was not quite 3 when we went on the cruise (her first Disney experience), and I think that was the turning point for her. At first, she was ALL about Mickey and by the end of the 8 day cruise I think we had taken her photo with every princess on that ship! It's been all princess, all the time ever since. I do have the obligatory Sword in the Stone picture where the boys are trying to pull it out of the anvil. That is the opposite of the princess photos.

Even as a toddler, the princesses at Disneyland made DS's heart pitter patter. I have some cute pictures of him shyly meeting them.
Of course, when DD came along, we were all about the princesses. When she was 5, I took a funny picture of her and a friend with Alladin, looking very disgusted because Princess Jasmine was nowhere to be seen.

I had bought us matching t-shirts for our Disney trip. I still think it's funny that we were introduced to one of the characters as the Green family because we all had matching green tshirts! I still haven't scrapped that trip but I had printed out the autograph cards from Project Mouse for the characters to sign before we went. Did you buy your shirts from a retail store or did you get special made ones like from etsy? I got them from www.jiffyshirts.com/ thinking I would decorate them myself. With a baby and a preschooler that didn't happen so we just wore them plain. We still matched which was great for the photos. I also wanted us to match to help keep us together as a family. It's easy to see that we belonged together, so easy to match us together again if one got lost. I just bought four sets of colors that matched between the sizes I needed as best I could for each of the four days we were there.

I used these sticky brads on almost every page. Used up the entire sheet and wish I had bought more! When we were there in 2007 (yes, a loooong time ago), they sold a Disney paper pad. It's the only place I ever saw it. I don't know if they still have it, but while a lot of the papers were useless, they had a page that was a map of each of the theme parks. A pal gave me a great idea and I used vellum blocks to write down everyone's favorite attractions in each park and then put the blocks on each park map. It was a cute way to document our faves and use cute paper in a way that wouldn't cover up half of it. If they still have the pad, I highly recommend grabbing one! Of course, if they don't have it, you can always hang onto one of the park maps and use that. Have a great time! I was just at DisneyWorld 3 weeks ago, and while they have some albums and autograph book/album combos, there were no scrap supplies. I was there in 2011 and they had lots of neat stuff - not any more. Have fun! I wish I could go back - it seemed like we did everything when we were there, but I am still finding myself wishing I could have a few more days at the parks to take a few more photos. Lori

Damn, Lori McMud! They didn't have a lot when I was there, either and I almost didn't buy that pad, but I'm glad I did - especially since there's zilch now. That's really too bad.

Maybe I'll try to pick up a few maps so I can try the same thing in my album. Thanks for the idea!
