Twas The Night Before Disney!

Twas the night before Disney and craziness through the house
All because of that magical mouse!

The suitcases are packed and the cars full of gas
We came from PA, only four more states to pass.

It's time for bed, we are done with the hassle
Next stop is that beautiful castle!!!

- Hope you enjoyed our silly little poem, we are headed to to Disney in the morning. Time with the hubby and great friends, will be wonderful!!
- I will try to stop by during the week for an update, stay tuned :)

The Lion King 3D

Not that Rusty and I needed something to get us in the Disney spirit, but we decided to go to the movies the other night and check out The Lion King 3D.
It was GREAT! Just like I had remembered it from when I was younger, but the 3D added some new fun! Rusty had never seen the movie before, so it was all new to him- he enjoyed it as well.
The meaning of the story is really powerful and the songs are wonderful..... had me signing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight", "Just Can't Wait To Be King", and "Hakuna Matata" for days to come!!!
If you have not checked it out yet, I would highly recommend it! I think it is only going to be out for another week, so get going!!!
Until then, I will leave you with this little video.... best song of the movie :)

7 Days and 7 Things To Look Forward To!!!

We have 7 days until Disney!!!!! I thought I would do a countdown of seven things that I am looking forward to :)

1. Walking down main street in Magic Kingdom for the first time, when you turn the corner and spot the castle it is simply amazing. The smell from the bakery, the cast member selling the balloons, and the barber group signing.... its all so magical!

2. The first ride on space mountain- always makes me think of the first time I was old enough to finally ride it for the first time! I love how you can feel like a kid again while at Disney :)

3. Watching Wishes over the castles- I always get teary eyed watching this show. Reminds me of the night Rusty proposed to me in the castle which we followed up with a fantastic show of wishes!

4. Late night walk on the beach at the Polynesian Resort.... we are not staying there but I always love to walk around at night with the tiki torches and view of the magic kingdom, easy romantic date with the hubby!

5. Jellyrolls- The Dueling Piano bar at the Boardwalk....actually something new we are going to be trying this trip, I can't wait (I have heard very good reviews!)

6. Food- I can't even begin to list everything that I am looking forward to, so I will just leave it at "FOOD" hahaha

7. Looking for Hidden Mickeys! Always something Rusty and I enjoy doing while at Disney!!

I have caught a pretty bad cold this week, I am trying to take lots of medicine, drink my OJ, take lots of vitamins, and get plenty of res. I WILL NOT go to Disney with this cold.... please pray for me that it goes away soon :)

10 Day Mark!!!

We have hit the 10 day mark for our Disney trip!!!! I am so excited, I hope these next 10 days fly by!
Here are the details of our trip!
1. We leave Thursday 9/29- we will be driving to North Carolina on Thursday to stay the night with our friends Alex and Fred
2. We will leave Friday 9/30 for Disney. We are doing a road trip for the first time- I am actually pretty excited about it! It is about a 8.5-9 hour drive from NC.... not too bad. I have downloaded some Disney music and made a trivia game to help the time go by a little fast! I might even make a little Disney treat for the road as well- stay tuned ;)
3. We will arrive in Disney later afternoon/early evening on Friday.... just in time to enjoy a few hours at the Magic Kingdom!!!
4. We will have 8 wonderful nights at Disney's Old Key West- will be our first time staying at this vacation club resort but I am sure it will be great (just like all the other Disney resorts)
5. We will celebrate our three year anniversary while down... 10/04!~
6. I am soooooo looking forward to all the Disney food.... I just can not wait! I have been dieting for the past 7-8 months and have lost about 67 pounds, so I am ready for some GOOD food!!!!!

I can't wait to update when I get home.... until then I have lots to get done. I am working on making my Disney To-Do list.... but its all so exciting!

Family Traditions!

Every Disney fan has their own family traditions they enjoy each and every trip! I grew up with Disney family traditions and now have made new family traditions with Rusty! :)
Growing up we had several traditions:
1. We would always go to the Magic Kingdom as our first park
2. We always walk down main street to take in the amazing view of the castle and the smells on main street
3. The first ride we would go on would be the Pirates!
4. We would always eat at 50's Prime Time Cafe.... at least once!
5. Riding Tower of Terror with my Dad!
6. Staying at the Fort Wilderness Campground- best memories EVER!
7. We would always have a dole whip as a snack

Now Rusty and I have been fortunate enough to make our own memories/traditions on our past trips!
1. We carry on the tradition of going to Magic Kingdom as our first park and walking down main street to view the castle!
2. Our first ride is usually always Space Mountain (except for the one time it was closed for refurbishment- sad day!)
3. We always eat at O'hanas!!!! So yummy :)
4. We always stay at one of the vacation club resorts- best decision we made to join!
5. Snacks include dole whips, popcorn, and white chocolate Reece's pieces covered rice crispy treat!

Wordless Wednesday!!!

23 Days until this wonderful, magical place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
