Disney Trip Planning 2014!!!

Hey.  Haven't seen you in a while.  I just booked a trip to Walt Disney World for this August!!!  Let the planning begin!!

First of all, I'm sure you've all seen that the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is open (or at least had opened in previews and was all instagram'd out on May 1)!  I'm not one for roller coasters, but I do want to try this one!  (But it looks scary!!  The rocking seats??  Yeesh!)

Second, and what reminded me to post again in this blog already, is that Hot Topic is carrying a TON of Disney merchandise!  So get on it!!  Today I bought a Buzz Lightyear bow (and wore it today with my spaceship earrings and green sweater, Disneybounding at the mall):

and Minnie Mouse stockings (her image is on the front of the legs, split between the right and left legs, so it looks like it's tattoo'd almost):

They also had stockings of the Disney princesses and Alice, a Woody-inspired hair bow,  jewelry with sayings on them ("To Infinity and Beyond," "Kiss the Girl"), necklaces and earrings of various characters, bundles of socks with Disney AND Pixar characters (Nemo, Toy Story, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Villains!!), T-shirts, dresses, underwear, even RECORDS.  Records each with a big colorful scene from its movie on it, like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King.  I had to leave before I spent more than I had come in with!  Definitely check it out!!

I'll be updating the blog as I make plans for August!  See ya real soon!!

It's a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!

It's practically here!!!  The big day is tomorrow!!!  My dad & I are leaving at 7 for the airport (yes, that's 7AM) and catching the Magical Express (bus) to All-Star Music!!  I can't wait to swim in the Three Caballeros pool!  Or the guitar-shaped one!  (Or just take pictures of them!) 

We'll be there for 5 days.  On Tuesday we're going to MNSSHP!!  I'm going as Ariel (I'll post pics of my costume later for sure)!  Can't wait to trick or treat again, haha! I left the trick or treating game pretty late actually, still going in college.  But at Disney it'll come off as "normal," I'm sure ;) 

I also can't wait to hang out at Downtown Disney to visit Goofy's Candy Company, the Vinylmation store (now that Mike gave me an awesome display cabinet to put my collection in--I'll post about that later, too), and the largest Disney store in the world! 

Then there's Epcot's food and wine festival.  Whoa.  I'm looking forward to the chocolate event.  This is going to be a great trip!  Many, many pictures and updates to come (and maybe I'll even figure out how to post pics from my iPod)!
