Disney Planning Binder

Since I spend at least 7 months planning each of our Disney vacations, I needed somewhere to put all of my information. For my first trip, I used a medium sized spiral notebook that had a few dividers in it. This served its purpose for that trip but I wanted something more organized for my 2nd trip. Thanks to Pinterest I found several different styles of Disney Planning Binders that people have used. I adapted the ones that I liked the best and then made my own binder. I bought a 2" 3 ring binder and started filling it. I wanted the dividers to be "Disney colors" so I bought cardstock in black, red, and yellow and attached binder labels to them. I used my label maker for the labels and then attached them in the order I thought was most useful to me. Then anytime I would make reservations or find something useful that I needed to keep, I would print it off and put it in the binder. I also had lined paper (with Disney headers of course) in each section to write down things that I would read on Pinterest boards or the DISboards that I didn't want to forget. I did take the whole binder on vacation with us, but I didn't take it into the parks, I copied info that I needed for the parks into my itinerary notebook. The cover for my binder was made by a great Disigner on the DISboards. Our family dressed up as the Incredibles for Halloween last year so I thought it was a perfect cover for our binder. Since we have 2 Dashes in our family, I had a second Dash added to the picture!
