DH took youngest DD to Disney World for the week, and even though I don't have any photos yet, I'm already thinking about the album. I don't have a ton of Disney embellishments on hand, and rather than overspend on it, I'd like to pull from my stash to use up what I can.
Can you help me to make a list of icons and motifs that you associate with Disney stories and attractions that we might easily find in our stashes, or cut, or stamp? We used to have lists like this on the old 2 Peas, but I haven't seen one in awhile, so I thought we could start a new one. I can add your suggestions to the list I started in the OP to make this thread an easier to use resource for us all. I haven't been to Disney in ages, and I'm not up to date on all their movies, so please suggest stories I've missed and give me your wonderful ideas!
