I am SO HAPPY that I kept a journal on our Disney trip. For those of you who may be new here, our trip of a lifetime was a 50th Anniversary Celebration trip (Nov. '10). My parents (whom we were celebrating), my sister's family, and my family (11 in all) traveled together. We ranged in age from 10-70, and were an exceptional travel crew! (At the time, the kids were 10, 11, 11, 12, & 16.)
First stop: A cruise on the Disney Wonder.
Second stop: Disney World - specifically The Magic Kingdom, and Epcot. We stayed at the Pop Culture Resort. (UPDATE: oops, I always get that wrong. It's Pop CENTURY. Thanks Jill!)
Anyway, back to my journaling.... I'm so glad I kept the journal - it will help "fill in the blanks" for me as I do this Disney album. Without it, I might never have remembered that my daughter got stung by a jellyfish, or that I got locked out of our room while our kids were fast asleep (gearing up for the midnight shipboard PremEar of Tangled). I even made notes about some of the new foods that we tried.

Travel goodies that I'll include in my Disney Project Life.
- luggage tags
- boarding passes
- ID cards from The Disney Wonder
- daily newsletters from the cruise
- kids menus from the cruise
- meal assignment tickets from the cruise
- journaling summaries of each day's activities
- famous Disney quotes (or maybe other quotes that seem appropriate)
- "Keys to the World" from WDW
- WDW brochure w/ list of rides, etc.
- cool paper clips
- maps
- receipts
What's the most unique ephemera that you've
ever included in a scrapbook layout?
Right now, my wishlist at Amazon contains these items from Becky Higgins:
- Photo Pocket Pages - Big Pack of Design A - I am committing in my mind to eliminate vertical shots. I may have to get creative - but I'm going to stick with Design A.
- 6 x 12 Page Protectors - for areas of more story-telling
- Project Life Core Kit - Turquoise Edition (a must-have)
- Big Envelope Pages - still debating on this. If my newsletters, brochures, menus and such fit into 8.5 x 11 page protectors, and the small stuff will fit in the photo/journaling slots, there might not be a need for these afterall...
Some of the out-of-stock products say "Coming February 2012," but something Becky posted the other day seemed to indicate MID-February. (rats)
"Ever forward, but slowly."
