I love Disneyland.
LOVE, as in: completely obsessed.
Houston has been asking to take me to Disneyland for over a year… he
REALLY wanted to experience me being a total spastic five year old in a 28 year
old body. He was warned by Brittany who
emphasized getting a good night’s sleep, eating a substantial breakfast and
bracing himself for the ridiculousness that happens when I get within two miles
of the “Happiest Place on Earth”!!!!

Houston hadn’t been to Disneyland in about ten years, a
tragedy in my opinion and I wanted to make sure I did my part making it super
fun!!!

I decided to make a Disney Survival Bag with things we
may need through the day:

And just for

bag)

I printed
“Houston” in the Waltograph font from dafont ({here} is the link), cut it out
and mounted on red cardstock. Then I
glued the red cardstock to the white gift bag.
Everything in the Disney Survival Bag was either wrapped in Mickey Mouse paper or red
polka dot ribbon – so cute!!! I forgot to take a photo when I put it together,
but you get the idea!

My favorite part
was the ribbon on the handles of the gift bag.
I alternated red polka dot ribbon and black and white gingham
ribbon. The ribbon in about an inch and
a half long and I put a dot of hot glue on the handle and crisscrossed the
ribbon around it (to kinda make the glue oozy) to attach it. I decided not to go all the way around the
handle, but to make it fun and A-symmetrical.
I think it is more interesting that way!

The survival
bag came in pretty handy! We didn’t have
to purchase water all day (at $3.50 a bottle, I am glad we brought our own!)
and it was nice to have little snacks throughout the day. Houston loved the bag, was so excited and it
goes without saying that I did not disappoint in the spazz department… The cast member working in the parking structure commented that I was “more excited than
most of the kids they see.”
