Flat Stanley's Trip to Disneyland Oct 29th & 30th (Warning: LOTS of pictures!)

[PinBrian]

Not too sure if you remember me, but I ran into you guys in DCA in Bugsland! I had the same Shelby shirt on!

Loved the TR!

Hopefully Flat Stanley didn't have to pay an admission ticket.

So cool! Love the character interactions!

Thanks!! The interactions made it really fun - not at all a "homework assignment".

YES I totally remember you!!! I was so tempted to see if I could convince you and my husband to take a picture together because I think it's awesome when people have the same shirt on! (Yes, I'm that much of a dork)

Loved the TR!

Thanks!! Luckily he didn't, but he's technically only a few weeks old so we might have been able to get him in free anyway!

My GF was tempted as well! We took a couple of pictures with the other 'Waldos' we saw on the night of the 29th.

Thank you!! I'm kind of sad its over, too. It was so much fun!! Glad you enjoyed the TR!

Although I've made two Sock Monkeys from separate kits (one @ Michael's Crafts, the other @ JoAnn's Crafts), there is a merchant who sells Xmas Sock Monkeys (both Santa, or Elves, upon request) @ Knott's Berry Farm during their Holiday experience in late November through December (Ghost Town area, where all the hand craft merchants sell their items). I hope they return this year ...



Viewing one of these xmas sock monkeys gave me the idea to 1st knit a beanie and scarf, then knit a black cap with mouse ears for my sock monkeys (me Mum & Nan taught me how to knit & crochet - which I still do for the past 35 years now). I suppose if Disneyland offered Mouse Ears small enough for a newborn / toddler, I could put one of those on my sock monkey (or they could sell Mickey Mouse sock monkeys - I'd buy one of those immediately (lol) ....



There is something about items made by hand that I prefer vs mass produced items with a "made in china" tag (some people might consider Flat Stanley as just a piece of paper, but I consider him as something hand made from the heart) ...

Thank you for sharing! I wish I knew how to knit or crochet, I admire that skill. I totally agree with you about valuing handmade items more than mass produced items, but I have to admit that if I saw a sock monkey with Mickey ears in one of the DL shops I don't think I could resist!

I would encourage anyone to please take a free course @ their local craft store (its worth learning now that NV & AZ are in the low 30's during the mornings & late @ night as you may find yourself creating a quilt for the rest of the winter) ....


&, if Disney Store offered sock monkey mickey mouse (or perry the platypus), I'd purchase one immediately, too ... ;-)
