Today's Throwback Thursday is a craft from 2011 and updated in 2013. While You are Waiting for Your Trip...One of the things I like to do while I wait for our trip date to draw near is make Disney-themed crafts. It's a bonus for us if they also will serve a purpose in the parks. I made matching shirts for our family. Originally I did it because I had seen the idea on social media and thought it would be really fun for us. Since then I have learned that dressing identically helps a lot in crowded locations.
