ABCDboys Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 In order to give my kids an idea of how many more days until our upcoming Disney World trip I started a chain link "garland". I printed off Disney pictures on strips of paper and also added a trivia question or Disney fact for each day (this is great for my older kids). They cut off one link per day and as the chain gets shorter so do our days left before leaving for the trip!
knchatty Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 What a great idea and a fun way for the kids to count down. It sure beats being asked everyday "how many more days mom?" So when are you going? I love the trivia part too! Thanks for the wonderful tip.
annika3in1 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 How's the countdown coming along? Are the kids still playing nice and enjoying it? I might be headed to Disney in January. It should be fun, as I've never been before.
ABCDboys Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 There are 17 links left. Our trip is fast approaching and the kids are getting more excited each day. The trivia questions and facts have worked great as they have sparked conversations about what we'll see and do. This is not our first trip so it also helps to bring up memories from our last trip.
Chibear Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 That's a great idea. I usually just countdown the days on the calendar up to our departure. Where are you staying? Are you going to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party? Do you have any special celebrations while you're there? Now, I want to go.
