I think it goes without saying that I knew the girls would be over joyed when we told them we were going to Disney...but to add to the fun I decided to do a big reveal and a countdown. Throughout the summer I have been stocking up on goodies for our trip (the $1 store, 5 Below and Michael's and I have become good friends)! I have read plenty on things to buy before you go...here are some of the goodies I purchased to take along with us:
- glow sticks
- personalized water bottles from Swirly Twirly Designs
- stickers
- sunglasses
- Frozen Bracelets
- mini puzzles
- coloring books
- stickers
The girls have been working hard at earning their Disney Dollars. To announce the trip I found backpacks with their favorite princesses (which they will use for their carry ons) and had gotten them each a mini doll cake (the cakes were made by Shannon's Creations) and note from their favorite princess. Big Bee's note was from Ariel and Little Bee's note was from Elsa (you will see this theme of their princess carried for the rest of our countdown!). They are both excited!!!
To help us countdown I found a cute idea for a paper chain countdown that I couldn't pass up from Grey Luster Girl. Must be for my LOVE of Mickey Mouse. On the inside of mine I placed an activity for the day, there were a few days were the girls got a small gift so i marked those as "Disney Gift".
More of our countdown to come! DISNEY OR BUST!
