Disney Fever

If you know anything about our family know this...

We like to do things big!!!

Hence the 6 (so far) kids

And after much discussion and a lot of financial figures being looked at...

We have decided to go to Disneyland!!!!

But as mentioned above...We have six kids 

That means now that the decision is made we have to spend sometime saving.

From all the blogs I have read and all the information I have gathered,

The first Steps to planning a Disney Vacation are

Picking your dates (DONE)

and Setting your Budget (also Done)

Because this will be our first actual Vacation

( we have never taken a actual vacation, just visited family on the other side of the state)

We want it to be Amazing...

Redwood Forest

Jelly Belly Factory

San Fransico

Hollywood sights

Disneyland

Seaworld

San Diego Zoo

Legoland

Universal Studios

Seeing Devons Cali family

Death Valley

Las Vegas and Hoover Dam

Yeah that's A LOT of stuff to do with six (maybe/hopfully 7) kids

so it's going to take us two years of saving to pay for it and we will be driving not flying.

Which is A OK with me because Road trips are WAY more fun.

They are also a lot of work lol especially with 6kids

So as you can imagine I have been doing a lot of research and pinning on pintrest.

The kids are EXCITED....

Devon's Excited...

I can barely contain my excitement...

It's just a whole LOT of excitement.

So I will probably be blogging about a lot of it :)

We have 25months and 2days until we get to leave for our Road trip!!!

And of Course that feels like forever

So we wanted to do something NOW because we are so excited!!!

So Devon and I are working up a list of Movies..

Well I already made it but we are fine tuning it lol

In other words Devon's complaing I didn't add more that he wants :P

And we will be watching a movie every week as a family as our countdown for that week

Most of them are Disney movies and we threw in a couple Lego and Universal Studios ones

since we are visiting both those places too.

The best part is once a month we will do a themed Dinner and a Movie night :)

:) I will post a blog with the details for each of those as we do them ;) and photos as well

I am also currently working on another vacation project...well two more actually

Becuse you know one HUGE one isn't enough lol

The first project I am working on is a Disney Vacation planning binder...

Let me tell you... It may sound crazy...

But after all the research I have done and with the fact there will be between 9 and 11 of us on this trip I realized that I need a area to keep everything organized.

It's still a work in Progress so I will post more photos when I finish it but here the cover :) 

 I saw lots of different versions online but I didn't really like any of them

So I decided to make my own version

Which I love

Even the imprefections

 I love that's it is totally me

:D

It's all in the Details

I am also working on making the kids "Busy books"

So far I just have the covers done on these

(I need to buy a printer so I can print all the stuff I want to do for them)

and a laminator as well. 

So they are a work in progress also.

But we took all the kiddos to the store and let them pick out 2sheets of scrapbook paper

and some stickers.

And their covers turned out awesome :)

Aren't those so cute :)

can't wait to fill them with goodies to keep the kids busy in the car :)

I will post another blog post when I finish making them so you can see what I put in them

And we also bought some goodies for when we go to the park

I have read everywhere that it's best to buy all the little goodies like this before you go to the park

It will save you tons of money

Noise markers for the parades

:) That's all the Disney news for now :) 

can't wait to share our journey with you
