Mickey Mania...or so I thought!

I have made over a hundred Mouse head shirts and they just make me so happy. Maybe it's the nice spiral on the back and the clean, crisp mouse head on the front...or the fact that they miraculously always seem to work out okay (besides the yellow one, four shirts later and we had a winner, but that's a yellow situation).  We were told by countless customers that many people came up to them asking about their great shirts and what store were they bought in at the park. THEN my family came across fabulously cheap lodging and tickets....and I knew what I had to do!

My kids were armed and dangerous with two different shirts each and the family we attended with each had their own shirt, as did my husband and I. Bridgette, the genius that she is, made specific cards FOR mouse head shirts for me to give out hand over fist. My husband, Bob, and I discussed what would happen if we were approached to supply tie dye to Disney. OMG!!! The dreams grew....and the big day arrived. Cards in hand, we entered the Magic Kingdom armed and dangerous in fabulous tie dye.

NOT A SINGLE PERSON approached us. Not our family or the Myers. Truthfully it could have been the gigantic scowly face I'm sure I was sporting (for someone that doesn't like crowds and waiting in lines, Magic kingdom is just not for me) as I demanded that everyone HAVE FUN!!! We're at Disney DAMMIT!!! 

The shirts were still a raging success for me though. My son is on the autism spectrum, and although he is getting much better about informing us as to his new location, there are times that he just "leaves" to investigate something. Enter orange tie dye Mouse head shirt. That kid could be 100 feet away and I could spot him. Even my husband in the more subtle blue shirt (and he's the one that really should have been sporting the orange shirt- he's not very tall AND tends to get himself missing ALL THE TIME). The kids wore their rainbow Mouse heads at Animal Kingdom ( our happiest place on earth!!) and again, hard to miss a kid with a bright tie dye rainbow. And the pictures of them together were priceless (although I regret we didn't get any as a group...the whole fast pass thing just sent us over the brink upon entering the park and everyone skeedaddled their own ways). 

Mouse heads - spectacular for person finding. And I'm also guessing if a kid WAS lost (yikes) they'd certainly know they had the right kid and he/she would be easily spotted by park staff.

Bridgette and her extended family is attending in October. Maybe we'll see a turn around then as she really does think that the Magic Kingdom is the happiest place on earth....and will be a little more approachable.
