    Argh

    When I’m stuck at work and everybody else is at Dragon Con Ugh! I’ve been totally OK with it up until today. Seeing everybody arriving and missing out… I thought Friday would be the tough day but no, it’s today. I repleated my Tightrope Walker skirt last night. Went faster than I expected. I got my suitcase for Disney repacked…

    Disney Photopass photos!

    Got all of our photopass photos downloaded last night! The Joy & Sadness meet and greet was fun and worth the 40 minute wait. Gotta do one castle shot of course… We met Lilo at Typhoon Lagoon! So exciting! I’d never met Lilo before. They had a photographer stationed at the end of the Crush N’ Gusher who gave us…

    Back from Disney (Again!)

    We had a super short 4th of July trip to Disney over the weekend! I didn’t take a ton of photos on my phone — we forget the power brick for recharging, so I was trying to save power, especially on Monday when we were at Magic Kingdom all day from 8am to midnight! And Sunday when we did Typhoon…

Brainfreeze: Me & Kev Me and Kev Part 2 Walking thru Hollywood Studios Oddly enough, this is now the 2nd photo we have of Kevin being menaced by a blow-up Stay Puft Marshmellow Man.

    Disney Trip w/Kevin – Part 2, plus Megacon!

    Saturday morning I was up and getting in costume, while Chase got Kevin into his Luke costume. Thankfully, Edith was easy to get into. Like I (think I) mentioned the other day, I decided to forego the wound prosthetics, which made getting ready much faster. We got to the convention center early, and….. parked in the wrong parking lot. We…

    Disney Trip w/Kevin – Part 1!!

    Wednesday after work, Kev and I started loading the car waiting on Chase to get home. It was raining which didn’t make it an easy job! Kevin thought we were just going to the convention. He had noooo clue. Nana & Kristie got him a Stefon shirt for the trip! That night we stopped in Columbus, GA for a quick…

    More Disney Photos!

    Last night I got our Photopass pictures downloaded, as well as what was on our little digital camera. (Turns out there was only like, 6 photos on the digital camera and 4 of them were repeats of our photopass photos… LOL) Me & Jake: Yes, I stood in line by myself, a grown woman who has never even watched this…

    Back from Disney!

    This trip was a whirlwind. The shortest trip we’ve ever done (yet) it was a big experiment for us. This was our first time only doing 3 (technically 2 1/2) days, our first time in a long time NOT doing the dining plan, and our first time driving straight through the first day. Let’s see how those experiments turned out……

    #MouseEarsforaYear

    So I’ve already been doing some Disney plannings for our trips next year. Mostly just looking at dates, and making some dining reservations! We are doing a short solo trip early next year; for that trip I’ve booked… 1. Be Our Guest – breakfast! We’ve eaten here for lunch and dinner, but breakfast started right before or right after our…

    Disney excitement

    I desperately need some Disney in my life right now. I’m so glad we have this trip coming up. Disney package paid for – check! Rental car booked – check! Dining reservations made – check! Universal tickets bought – doing that tomorrow! Getting there: As I probably mentioned before, we’re driving for the first time this trip. I haven’t driven…

    My Disney Book

    I’ve kept myself busy this week creating a little guidebook for our Disney trip (26 days!). At Barnes and Noble last year I saw this adorable tiny Disney guidebook – it was small enough to carry in a pocket, and had neat fold out maps and everything. And I really wanted it. Not that I necessarily needed the information… but…

    Diiiiiiiiiidny

    So, a few thoughts…. 1. We booked our Fastpasses! Friday night (technically Saturday morning – Orlando time) I logged in and booked our fastpasses. There wasn’t a TON we wanted to do, since Chase isn’t big on rides and most everything else we’ve done a lot. We just missed the Mine Train when we went earlier this year, so that…
