I'm a little over. the. top. about our Disney vacation.
The last two weekends, Kiah and I have curled up on my bed with a bunch of printouts from Disney websites and spent time going through them to create the best plan for our family. By plan... I mean plan. We are sitting there deciding the order in which we will visit the attractions in the park.
I firmly believe the secret to having a successful Disney vacation -- and not waiting in line forever -- is to have a plan. This plan should utilize Fastpass to its fullest, put rides that get long lines first at the beginning of the day, and generally give us a purpose while we're in the parks.
We will not be one of those families walking around, looking at a map, wondering where we should go next.
So we made up a plan for each park we'll visit (8 in all) and I scribbled them on the back of scrap paper.
Because I like to have something to do on the weekends, I decided to digitally create index cards with our plans on them. I used some cards from Project Life to do this on Saturday morning, and I had fun choosing the cards and fonts and just playing with them.
I do a lot of things digitally that I never print, but since I decided to use Project Life for our Disney album, I bought some supplies to do some basic printing at home. I opened up Photoshop, put 2 cards on each 8.5x11 canvas, put some gorgeous white cardstock in my printer (orange peel texture from Bazzill) and hit print.
Then I got out my trimmer and trimmed them up. Watched Air Force One while trimming. Showed them to Dan. Found a ring to bind them.

Dan said, "What if they get wet?"
Yeah, what about that? It rains in Florida in the summer. Almost every day.
I'd dropped Kiah off at driver's ed early in the morning and we still had to pick her up and get some lunch. I used to work in the area and I seemed to remember that there was a Kinkos next to the sandwich shop in the area.
I was wrong. It was a UPS store... but it was still there. And they did laminating.

Yes, I have lost my ever lovin' mind when it comes to planning this trip. Lamination sent me right over the edge.
Came home -- after lunch and a trip to a huge grocery store that was really fun -- and cut the lamination. (Side note: There's something calming about cutting lamination. Maybe it's because it's a mindless activity at work, but I really enjoy it.)

Punched a hole in those puppies. Put a red ring in it. Final result? Some really pretty touring cards. They make my little OCD heart happy.
