Disney scrapbook boot camp.

I know I promised way back to show some of my Disney pictures and share my experience. If you've wondered why I haven't been posted the last few days, it's because I have been working on my Digital Disney scrapbook album every spare chance I could get. I really wanted to finish it as I knew the memories were fading from my brain and journalling and getting pictures into a finished scrapbook would help memorialize (is that a word?) our fantastic trip. I'm proud to say that I finished it! I chose to to a hardcover 11.5X8.5 book. It ended up being 46 pages! That's a lot of pictures! Now, I"m just waiting for the UPS man to deliver it to my door.
Here's some pictures. I have such a hard time formatting the pictures and text on my blog so please excuse the confused layout here.
Disney hospitality is awesome. All the staff were so friendly and accomodating. They definitely know how to make kids smile. The picture on the left is a little decoration that the cleaning staff did in our room with the kids stuffed toys. We all laughed when we came back to our room after a long day at the park and saw the hanging nemos



We got the free disney dining plan with our package. It included one snack, one counter service meal and one full service meal each day for every person. What a ton of food! It allowed us to eat meals with characters like piglet and have fine Italian dining and give in to the kids requests for cookies and ice cream. It was all free. As you can see, the snacks were huge. The cookie is as big as the baby's head!




Of course, we took in as many disney attractions as we could possibly manage. 3-D movies (which were actually 4-D because you would get sensory experiences like water splashing on us, or smells like strawberry cake that would corrolate with the movie)
At the end of the day the kids were exhausted! The oldest would at times beg to stay in the hotel and watch tv because he was so tired. (he didn't have a stroller to sit in) but of course, when we dragged him out of bed to the parks, he was always happy.
















Here's a few of my digital studio layouts. I learned some new things. I realized that I'm not limited to Stampin' Up! colours. There is a tool called a picker and you can pick out any colour from any one of your pictures and you can use that colours for your "paper" is that cool or what? I also took advantage of the ability to use any jpeg picture in my layouts. The picture of the castle, was one that I found on the internet.
I'll let you know when my book comes in so you can come and check it out.
