We Are Going To...

I realize that no one reads this blog anymore, not even family, and that's ok.  I just haven't been in the mood to blog lately (or for the past year or more).  However, we have a pretty exciting surprise for the kids in a couple weeks and I've been getting my craft on lately.  I want to document everything somewhere other than facebook, so this is really just for me.  But if you want to read along, then welcome back!

 We have a gift for each child to open.  Each one is part of a "puzzle" that's pretty easy to figure out.

Disney World is in the process of testing something new called My Magic+ and we were asked to participate in the testing.  The bracelets you see are called MagicBands and are Disney's new way of doing pretty much everything.  These bands open your hotel door, they are your key into the parks, they reserve fastpasses at rides, you can even make purchases with them (ok, so the kids can't do that). 

Since our last trip, we really do talk about Disney a lot in our house.  It was such a fun vacation and we made some great memories.  However, Sam and Lucy were not invited on that trip and we decided to go back again for a "quick trip" this fall as a family of six.  Since we talk about all things Disney, the kids know what the MagicBands are and they understand what they do.  They know that a MagicBand is your ticket into Disney World.  I even casually asked them what colors they liked the best.  Because our bands came shipped to us in four different boxes, we thought it would be fun to incorporate them into our big reveal.  So each child opens his/her own MagicBand with a little piece of our message to them. 

I don't think it will take long to figure it out!
