Travel & Vacation: Mickey Mouse Travel Folders

Travel Folders

When we are planning for a trip I try to compile various pieces of information for that specific trip into one spot.  Anything from Hotel Reservations, Tickets, Events, Schedule, Activities, Coupons, and more.  If it is a trip that we have some time planning it is fun to get folders that coordinate with the theme.  The kids get excited when they see a travel folder being updated.  Whenever I receive a new piece of information for that trip I add it to the folder.  By the time we are ready to head out usually everything is completely ready to go and waiting for us in our folder.

Sometimes the folders coordinate with the theme of the trip, like the Mickey Mouse folders for our Disney trip, while other times I just get a colorful folder and place it in a spot where I can easily add items to it.  There are a few places we tend to go more regularly so I have a permanent folder for those locations.  As I find fun activities, events, or get discount tickets in that area I add it to the folder.  It makes it easier when we have a last minute trip.  Usually the biggest problem we have is narrowing down which activities we really want to do because there is so many great activities that we enjoy!

Thankful for an opportunity to travel with the family.  When everything is organized and accessible it is one less thing to have to worry about before leaving the house.  Little preparations ahead of time make packing up more efficient for the whole family.  Plus, it helps ensure that you have all the little items (tickets and paperwork) you need once you arrive at your location.

Mickey Mouse!  Whose ready for a Disney trip?!

The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family, ways we relax, and tips on how to make trips more enjoyable.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
