Scrapbook Magic
"I am a huge scrapbooker and keep just about everything for my scrapbook. One thing that was kind of different and cool was a menu from our Disney Cruise. We went during Christmas and for our Christmas dinner, which was the formal night, we had our servers sign our menu, which we kept. They were very happy to do this and even wrote us nice messages. I also got some of the luggage tags you get when departing. There are several different ones with Disney characters and logos on them. They would make a nice touch to any Disney scrapbook!"
