Flounder (Inspired) Nails


Today my nails are inspired by Flounder from The Little Mermaid. 
Does it look passable for Flounder nails?

Minnie Mouse Nails

 I was desperately eyeing the OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection as soon as I heard about it. I got my hands on it last Saturday. Last night, I did a Minnie Mouse manicure for my beauty/nail blog  and I decided to post it here on my Disney blog as well. From now on, all Disney manicures I do, I'll post here. :)

Disney odds and ends (1)

 My boyfriend found this vintage pic of Mickey and Minnie at a yard sale. It's so funny because M&M look nothing like that anymore.
This is the only souvenir I picked up on my last Disney day. I wanted something resort specific but had a hard time choosing so in the end I just got this pin.

I may start to post pictures of my Disney items. I love all things Disney and pick up items whenever I can. That's what I like looking for the most when I go to thrift stores and yard sales. I would love to have a bigger Disney collection but it sometimes it's cheaper to collect nail polish. I wish I could afford both though.

"Girl's Day" - June 2, 2012

Hello Disney Lovers! I finally went back to my favorite place in the world...Disney! I went to Florida May 30 - June 3 to visit for my sister's graduation. As soon as I booked my flight, I made sure to tell my dad I wanted a Disney day while I was there. So on June 2nd, the day after my sister's graduation and her friend's birthday, we had our Disney Day!!! Here's a quick overview of how our day went.


The morning started off bright and early went Dad dropped us off at Pop while he went off to work. We hung around the tv room trying to get in a mini power nap. My sister and her friend had better luck than me with trying to get comfortable. So I ended up walking around my old stomping grounds snapping random pics (which will be uploaded later).
When I went back to the tv room my sister and her friend were awake. They told me they couldn't nap because it was too cold. I told them it's warm outside so we all took another walk around Pop before heading to check out the new resort. Once at Art of Animation we were all crazy taking tons of pictures (which will be uploaded later).


I wanted to have breakfast at Landscape of Flavors so I could go back home with the satisfaction of eating at AoA during opening week. I had a Mickey Waffle topped with fruit and a side of turkey bacon. My sister and her friend both had the child's serving of pancakes and a side of meat. The child's serving comes with two pancakes instead of four.
After we ate we snapped a few more pictures before getting on the bus to head to Magic Kingdom. Well that was the original plan. Then the MK bus was taking too long and my sister said she would like to go see Festival of the Lion King at Animal Kingdom. The AK bus pulled up so we quickly switched lines and headed off to Animal Kingdom.


My sister and I frequent the parks quite often (well I did when I was a cast member). So that whole day we went with a plan, only do certain attractions so we could hit up more parks. I had a list of things I wanted to do while in Disney. Because of our plan at Animal Kingdom all we did was FOTLK.


I blurred my sister and her friend's faces just in case they weren't comfortable with being on my blog.

Our next stop was Magic Kingdom mainly because I wanted to get a Dole Whip. While at Magic Kingdom we did Laugh Floor Comedy, People Mover, Space Mountain and caught the Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade on our way out of the park. (video for that will be up soon)


At Epcot, our main goal was to have my sister's friend try the Beverly at Club Cool. We all drank it with her and it was just as gross as the first time I tried it. We intended to ride Test Track and walk around the countries but our feet were hurting. It had been a long time since my sister or I had rode Soarin and my sister's friend had never rode it. Therefore it was determined that Soarin was a MUST! We waited in line for 55 minutes til we were soarin over California.

After Soarin we called our Dad and told him we were headed back to AoA because he wanted to check it out. Then we went home. It was a long but fun day and I can't wait til my next Disney day.

Abandoned Disney Blog...

Since I do not live in Florida anymore, this blog has become abandoned. :( But I hope to have a few Disney posts next week since I will be in Florida for my sister's graduation.

I hope to go to the opening of Art of Animation Suites and have at least one Disney day. Let's see what happens.

DISmeet with Poolrat at Boardwalk

Date: October 4, 2010
The cast: Pat (aka Poolrat) and me
The reason: Just to meet up

Saturday night (Oct 2) I was playing catch-up on the DISboards and I saw a post from Poolrat saying that she was in town. So I sent her a message asking her if she was having fun. The next night, we were on the boards at the same time and arranged a meet-up for the next day because I won't be in town for her next trip.

We arranged to meet up at 3pm at Boardwalk. So around 2:50pm I arrived at Boardwalk and let Pat know I was there. She told me that she was near Morocco or Japan and that she would be there soon. I snapped a few pictures while I waited. When Pat arrived, we decided to just walk because the weather was oh so nice.




With all the talking, drunk people watching and watching people run like they were still doing the marathon time flew by. It was a lot of fun and I wish that I was going to be in town the next time she is in town.

The Studios and a Epcot DIS meet

The Date: July 6, 2010
The Cast: My family
with guest appearances by MeMom & Brooklynnsmommy's Gang, Wigd & Shocker, and Jermeysdisneymom and her crew.
The Reason: Bodacious Beverley Meet at Club Cool

At the OKW DIS meet, MeMom and Jill told me about the meet on Tuesday. My dad said it would be fine to go since he was on "vacation". My family decided to make it a day in the parks.

So Tuesday morning, I woke up a little before 8 to find my dad already awake and my brother and sister still sleeping. I got ready and by the time I was finished my siblings were up and just about ready. On our way to Disney Property, we stopped at McDonald's for a quick breakfast (since we didn't wake up early enough for breakfast at a resort and we wanted to make the "dash" to TSM)

I don't remember what time we got to Hollywood Studios but it was pretty early. We made our dash to TSM. I rode with my sister and she beat me. My reaction to the ride (for the vlog for my boyfriend) "O M G, that ride is awesome. I'm gonna have to practice a lot so when you come I'll beat you the first time around."

Then my dad stopped to show off "his three" to various CMs he works with. Next, we watched Voyage of the Little Mermaid.

We then decided to head towards Epcot. We took the boat over. When we got to Epcot we made our "dash" to Club Cool. We wondered around looking for the DISsers until I heard Jill call out "ChiChi". They were in a corner near the build your own cups. We greeted everybody and chatted for a little. Little Bella was knocked out sleeping in MeMom's arms.

If I recall, when it came down to drink the Beverley, no one really wanted to do it. So it ended up being Wigd and I at first. It was awful. I had to take a sip a second time because my brother didn't snap our picture the first time around. Then Jill and Brooklynn took a sip. Brooklynn's reaction was so cute, she turned around and spit it in the drain. Shhh don't tell. When my brother went to try it, he said he actually liked it. That's my brother for you.

Soon after Jermeysdisneymom and her gang were the first to leave. Then, MeMom was headed back to Pop with the little ones while Jill and John had reservations. My dad and I chatted a little longer with Wigd and Shocker then we said our good byes. Possible plans were made for a DIS meet on Friday night at MK.

My family decided to hang around the front of the park before heading to the showcase to grab something to eat. We skipped Soarin this time cause my sister and I didn't feel like waiting in that loooooooong line. We did do Finding Nemo and What's your problem. My dad was chosen to be apart of the show. :) Then we browsed a little in some shops.

Soon we headed towards Germany to get a frankfurter with sauerkraut. I have never tried it and my goal while I'm here (for who knows how long) is to try as many "new" things. Nothing EXTRA special but it was good.

We stopped in America and watched Spirit of America and Voices of Liberty and stayed for the American Adventure. Now as a future teacher I am ashamed to admit that I dozed off during the American Adventure. Most likely, I will not do it again unless it's a desperate attempt to get out of the heat/rain or my future students have a field trip to Epcot and are required to do it.

We then headed towards the dock but was stopped by another CM my dad knew. They went to find their old manager so we followed behind back to future world. Which ended up being just exercise since said manager had left for the day. Then headed back to the dock to take the ferry back to HS.

Once at HS, I was in desperate need for a caffeine fix so we went inside and headed near a little coffee/pastry shop near sci-fi dine in theatre. (i think) Walked around a little more then decided to call it a day.
