Love, love, love all of your sewing projects! Those first day shirts are so cute! And YAY for double digits!!!!
thanks! so excited to be in double digits!!!
I need instructions!!!!
so easy! find some iron ons you love on etsy (TONS of them) and order them. some of the people will send you the iron on and some will email you the file to print yourself. you need a color ink jet printer to print them and transfer paper. make sure you get the right transfer paper, the one for light colored/white shirts or the one for dark colors. follow the directions with the paper and print them out. cut them out and get out the iron. I just iron mine on the kitchen counter because the ironing board pad is a little too soft. lay out the shirt and give it a quick iron, then, the hard part, peel the backing off the iron on. it is tricky to get it started, but once you do, you're in business. I just eyeball where I want it, lay it down, cover it with the tissue they give you and iron for the time they recommend. let cool. peel off the tissue and you're done! I usually use the dark transfer paper so the directions could be a little different for the light transfer paper, but either one is easy peasy lemon squeezy and so fun! I always think they look so awesome when you're done.
DOUBLE DIGIT DANCE TIME!
I'm doing my iron-ons in a couple weeks and I'm STRESSED about it! And when I say "I'm" what I actually mean is my Mom. I really hope they turn out okay! I've got 6 iron-ons between three shirts to do. Nervous!
OH....MY....GOSH! the dancing grannies CRACKED me up!
don't stress out about the iron ons. see above easy directions! they are super easy and fun! you'll be hooked when you see how easy it is.
While the Hyatt may cost a little more, we find the convenience is worth it. Plus we fly in from the West Coast, so it tends to be later in the day. The hotel is clean, good service and plenty of dining options. Disney has it well organized and makes it pretty much stress free getting to the port. We do the DCL transfers, but we are only a family of 3. Plus my daughter needs a wheelchair lift/ramp and going through Disney, we know it will be handled. Have a wonderful time on the ship (we never get off except for Castaway Cay and Alaska). Way more fun than going into the ports.
I think we're going to do the Hyatt. I just think the convenience will win out. our only other thought right now is to maybe do the lego hotel at LEGOLAND, but it is super expensive.
I don't think there is an actual "trick or treat" in the traditional sense on the ship. Your cabin steward will leave a bag or two of candy in your cabin, would be fun though if they did have a real trick or treat around the ship.
We didn't pay for a photo package either, just paid for our photos individually. I felt a little guilty only selecting about 6 or 7 photos out of the probably 45 or so we had in our folder at shutters ( where you go to view your pics) I was amazed at how many there were to look at and I didn't think we stopped for that many photo ops!
Oh... Try to catch one of the CM photographers on Castaway Cay who take pics of your family playing in the water, they generally turn out really great
Yea for being under 100 days!!!
thanks for the tip on CC photographers!
