Disney Countdown Clock

I have been looking forever for a Disney themed countdown clock to put in our living room so that I can watch our trips get closer when I am not on MB. I just couldn't find one. I found others but at $25 plus shipping they always seemed a bit much for something that I was going to have to adapt with Disney stickers anyway.

So here is what I did (and I am so proud). I actually bought an old 2000 Millennium countdown clock off of EBAY for $6 (including shipping) and I used my DW's scrap booking stuff to make it a Disney Countdown clock. The only engineering wrinkle is that I have to back calculate the time till my next trip since it ends on Jan 1, 12:00AM 2000. I am so proud!

Take a look:

Re: Disney Countdown Clock

I love that!! It is soooo cute! My kids would love to have a WDW countdown clock. Now I'm going to be on the hunt. I know that sometimes you can get countdown clocks for retirement . . . then I could make my own!

DW thinks I'm nuts but that goes way beyond Disney. My one son just saw it and told me "you have finally lost it". Where is the love????
