One big Disneyland project was making matching t-shirts. It was suggested by more than one person for various reasons. The biggest reason for us was being able to keep track of everyone. If someone got lost we could easily say what they were wearing. Each person will pair their shirt with jeans. It turned out really fun. We all chose and designed our own.
Day 1 is orange Pixar themed; Day 2 is grey Disney Star Wars themed. Day 3 is dress up/blue shirts.
Mallory chose her Star Wars shirt picture. She was very adamant. Her Pixar shirt was chosen by her sister and they match.
Luke's favorite Pixar characters are Cars, but most of all Finn McMissile. He was excited to have Mickey dressed as Luke for Star Wars day.
Anneke wanted Princess Atta and Dot and that is how we came up with the theme for the day. She was excited to have a sister picture. Not too many Disney sisters. Her Star Wars day is Princess Leia dressed as a Disney princess. She knew it was the picture for her.
Marcus has always liked Bu and Woo-ee. It was the perfect picture for him. He wanted Stitch as General Grievous for his Star Wars day and it was fun that it kinda ties his and Luke's shirts together. The last day he didn't want to dress up. He chose to have Disney characters as Avengers on his shirt.
I am very simple in my style. I didn't want anything big. I found the Elasti-girl shot and loved it. Andy made me the Minnie Leia and I really wanted a Cinderella shirt.

My last picture I figured out the best way to photograph them. Sorry.) Andy's first shirt says "Cut Rate Organization" and has all the characters voiced by John Ratzenberger. It is a play on the line from the end of Cars that Mack says. For Star Wars day it is a picture of Goofy/Pluto (there is a debate which it is) as Darth Maul with Disneyland written in Star Wars lettering. Andy made a Sher Khan picture with "Dad the biggest villain of them all" for his last day.
This is the Chernabog (from the original Fantasia) belt buckle Andy made. It is for Day 3.
Mallory's autograph book. I am not sure if she will want to do it, so I didn't want to put forth the effort I did with the other ones. It is an index card notebook. I made the cover to insert.
Anything we missed for Disney prep? Autograph books are done and we have lanyards for the pins. We are ready. I would post the finished autograph books, but they don't look much different than the covers, so it seems silly.

The matching t-shirts are a great idea I wonder if I could pull something like that together--did they take you long?
No. We just chose the pictures and printed them on iron on transfers, then ironed them on. Each shirt you iron for a minute them sit for 3 before pulling off the paper. So each shirt took less than 10 minutes. I recommend using the dark color transfers unless its words. The pictures are clearer on them.
