Looking for a trash can?

This was my sons best day at Disney World!

 He researched this very trash can weeks before our trip.

 This is no ordinary trash can this is "Push".

A very special trash can a trash can with personality!

He walks and talks. He interacts with the crowds around him.

 We did find out that Push is on the schedule,

you can ask any cast member in Tomorrowland in

 Magic Kingdom where and when to look for Push.

Good luck finding this special trash can, and Yes you can use him as a trash can too!

(As you see in the first picture we saved a piece of trash just for Push)

Wonderful talent in Japan!

This year on our trip to Walt Disney World we were able to see something we have never seen before, something we never even knew about before a few months of our trip.

 We got to see Miyuki make candy!

In the Japan Pavilion a few times a day Miyuki comes out to her little area just under the stairs to Teppan Edo with all of her candy making goodies. She asks for people to select an animal that she will proceed to make with candy on a stick like a lollipop, but she shapes the pliable candy and cuts it and manipulates it into amazing pieces of art, we were able to watch her make a tiger, a dolphin a pink flamingo and many others. I have to say she is super amazing. She is one of less than 20 people trained in this trade and definitely a very unique experience, you must stop in and see her if you are in Epcot. We planned our whole day around getting to see her and we did not regret it, neither will you!

 

Fill that piggy with pennies!

My people can spend Days in Epcot, I mean like 4 days just in the World Showcase!

We love to wander from country to country munching on treats from around the world, and watching shows and speaking with the cast members from the specific countries. It is so neat to slow down and take it all in.

This year we decided to spend a day in Epcot without going into the World Showcase. What did you do after Soarin' and and Test Track you ask? A new discovery for my family this year at Epcot.

we Discovered this!

You get a Piggy Bank, and you choose what you will save for.

There are many money savvy games you play to earn money along the journey. We were working to decorate our "new room"

The Piggies were empty when we got them, but as we played those money saving games our pigs magically filled with coins!

Shake it up and listen!

When we were done and our Piggies bellies were full we had to turn them in and we got a cool sticker to commemorate our adventure.

There was also a game you could have emailed to you so you could continue to play at home on your own computer!

The Boy and I made enough money to get the "new room" we were dreaming of!

(really I just dream his room could stay clean, and not be a wreck, but that might require a maid service, Teenagers... Gotta love 'em.)

Check it out next time you are at Epcot we loved it, FUN for ALL ages!

This is not just a theme park!

Some really cool things happen here!

I was blessed last week to spend a day at a "local theme park"

I was dreaming of  the MAGIC of Disney the whole time I was there.

Let me just tell you I cannot wait for my upcoming trip.

This IS Disney...

 Lights, Cameras, fireballs, and Action.

every single day they do this a few times.

 Fire circles, people "trapped", speed boats and "rescues"

The diference is in the details.

That car is MID AIR!

I have to say we had a HOT day at a theme park, I thought it might hold me at bay until our trip to Walt Disney World in just a few weeks... but it made me long for the details of Disney even more.

The day we were at this local theme park the shows that I really wanted to see were not playing at all that day. So basically you have to go on a super busy day, in the Heat to see the cool shows.

If you are considering a trip to Walt Disney World, or even Disneyland, I have to say there is NO comparison to the "local theme parks" they just don't hold up to the magic.



Disney IS Magical!

I can't wait to see Lights, Motors, Action now with Lightning McQueen, sorry all you Herbie fans, but there's a new Car in town.

I have to say I will miss the old bug, "Ocho" (Herbie goes Banana's was my personal favorite)

If you are thinking of planning a trip to experience Magic, please allow me to serve you.

I would love to be your specialty agent!

The little one has a favorite!

My daughter has been blessed to have visited Walt Disney World many times in her 6 year long little life, she has now formed an opinion on her favorite attraction at Walt Disney World.

This is exciting!

She is NOT a lover of coasters, she did not lake Splash Mountain, she said it was too scary.

(I know Michele, you live to ride Splash Mountain, if they could build Splash Mountain in your backyard you would be in heaven,You know they have a show that brings Disney to your back yard ~wink ~wink)

She was 5 when she made this discovery last year, and she cannot wait to get on Test Track again.

She ' loves that she can drive'

Test Track is her absolute favorite.

 I do have to say 70mph is pretty darn fast, in fact it is the fastest ride inside Disney World.

My little one that really cannot understand why people would get on a ride or roller coaster to be scared LOVES this attraction.

It is not scary at all just pure thrill of speeding around the building, bumping over road tests and a hot and cold test, to test... well whatever they test with heat and cold, but it is a very cool experience.

And once again Disney spared no detail.

One of the reasons Disney is Disney is because of their detail. next time take a few extra minutes to walk through the que and enjoy the details you will not be disappointed!

Test Track here we come! see you in a few short weeks!

Memories of The Polynesian Resort

I have many fond memories of the Polynesian Resort.

This is just one.

The warm welcome feeling you get when you walk into this lush resort is so wonderful and tropical you might just want to stay forever. I know I want to every time I walk in.

There are always smiling faces to welcome you.

a nice place for the kids to relax and watch a few Disney flicks as you check in.

and maybe if you are lucky you will meet Sheila and Aunt Kaui as I did for a quick hula lesson.

 A peek at the room.

 The amazing volcano pool!

How relaxing does this look?

This looks amazing to me at the moment...

"Polynesian Take me away!"

Questions answered at Animal Kingdom

The Animal Kingdom provides answers.

Cindy, Cindy, it is quite windy, Where do pineapples grow?

There was a question many in my family had, it was a silly question, almost posed as a bet of sorts.

Here is the question... Where do pineapples grow?

Do you know the answer?

Let me tell you how this question originated.

Before I was married my in laws took us on many trips to Mexico to shop and go fishing in South Texas. We lived in South Central Texas at the time and we drove through "the Valley" in South Texas to get to Progresso, Mex.

The Valley produces much of the Grapefruit in the US we used to see Valley Grown Grapefruit in Montana when we lived there.

The valley also has many fields of things popping out of the ground looking like the tops of pineapples.

What are these things?

So the argument was that Pineapples grow out of the ground, Or Do they grow from trees?

Finally a few years after this odd banter started we found the answer right before our eyes, where else but in The Animal Kingdom Park.

It Does appear to be a bush, Who was right? ground or tree?

I think we all won because we were at Disney World!

The fields in the Valley? they were full of many rows of AloeVera plants, not pineapples.

What questions do you have about life that may be answered at Walt Disney World?
