Disney Wrap-Up 2016
I thought it would be fun to do a “wrap-up” of all of our Disney trips during our #MouseEarsforaYear experience! As a refresher – we bought annual passes this past year! This was a one time, special thing we did – we planned, we scrimped, we saved to be able to do 6 trips over the course of the year.…

The Photopass post
It’s the traditional post-Disney photopass picture post! In front of the Christmas Tree at Magic Kingdom! The photographer told us to throw our hands up and look like we owned the place LOL We like catching photographers in places we hadn’t seen them before – like this one right outside of Big Thunder Mountain. This one cracks me up. Kevin…

One more Disney Trip Report
So this trips concludes our #MouseEarsforaYear… our last trip as Annual Passholders (for now — maybe again in a few years??). It’s been really great but honestly I’m so exhausted after this trip (and having 2 so close together) that I’m ready for a few months off LOL CAUTION… there’s some puke in this post so if you don’t like…

Disney, Again
So we finally got to go on our rescheduled October Disney trip! Thursday we left directly after work, drove to Atlanta to spend the night. Our usual overnight hotel in Columbus was booked solid, so we had them move us to one in Atlanta… and it was not great. (When I said “Oh then just move us to one in…

Disney Trip Pics, Part 2, & Restaurant Thoughts
Chase gave me his photos last night! I also wanted to talk a little more about the food, because it is one of my favourite things to talk about. Eating way too much food at ‘Ohana: ‘Ohana thoughts… The food at ‘Ohana was a little bit of a disappointment to me honestly. I mean it was perfectly fine, I guess…

Disney World Trip Report/Photos Part 1
To continue from my previous Dragon Con post — we got up Sunday morning at 6 AM and started the drive down into Orlando! YAY! This post consists of my iphone photos and our photopass pics – I haven’t gotten Chase’s photos yet so that will be part 2. SUNDAY! We finished up our audiobook of Deathly Hallows that morning…

The Disney and the DragonCon
I haven’t posted much lately… haven’t had much of anything to post! Went to my grandma’s for the weekend. Came back Saturday just to go to the Ren Faire with friends (I said I’d do it… I did it)… this time I wasn’t messing around. No attempt at curls, just a ponytail. Much better. Threw my flower crown I got…

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…

Last round of Photos!
I’ve gotten my portfolio updated — I added Disneybound Leia and Edith! And I got Chase’s photos uploaded! 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. This Guardian of the Galaxy group was one…

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…

Then I booked our dining for the October trip! And when we got home our May magic bands were in the mailbox a…

#MouseEarsforaYear – Trip 2!
It’s actually pretty difficult to plan multiple trips at once, but with the way you have to schedule eveeeeeeeryting in advance now it’s unavoidable. I was already planning Trip 2 before we even left for Trip 1, and now that we’re coming up on Trip 2, I have Trips 3 and 4 in motion. You should see how ridiculously long…

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……

DISNEY!
Our trip has really sneaked up on us. I guess because I’ve been so busy. Just suddenly last week I realized we are 3 weeks out from our first trip of the year! We got our magic bands week before last… (Also, my Leia and Chewie tsumtsums!) We are trying to get some of the magic band colours we don’t…

#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…
