alternate between minnie jane crocs and sandals -- usually trade each day
2. Bag of choice to carry to parks?
clear plastic backpack -- great through security, but carries enough for all the family's needs
3. Scrapbook my trips.
Always hope to . . . but tend to not have time to make them as pretty as I'd like.
4. Order the vacation DVD every year whether I'm going or not
of course
5. Favorite place to shop? In WDW?
Usually I'd pick World of Disney, but because of the fun my boys had - I'll say the new Hanes Create A Tee place has to be my favorite right now

not sure when we return, but it will be as soon as we can afford the travel
7. Favorite place to eat at Disney?

10. Do you collect Disney pins? If yes, do you actually trade them or just buy ones you like and then keep them?
I collect a few special occasion / event ones, and wear one or two as jewelry -- but, I'm not a trader. (I would find myself second guessing every trade.)

It use to be a well worn small Mickey Mouse back pack, but last trip I bought a messenger bag from Diseny web site and I really love it.

Much easier to get into while just walking around too.

I tried, but never finished
