"R" - A to Z Challenge - Walt Disney World

"R" will be a bit weird, but bare with me!

Reedy Creek Fire Department - OK, I know what you're thinking...is Keebs back on the meds again? But honestly, it's one of my favorite buildings on property! WDW has it's own emergency services as well as it's own power grid and management system, they are pretty much their own entity (which was the idea), but the name of the management system is the Reedy Creek Improvement District, named after a creek that runs through the property. So, most of their management branches are called Reedy Creek. But the fire station is an amazing building! It comprises everything that Disney World is made of! It's fun and childlike, but don't get me wrong, it's a very serious place and a very real fire station! It's really hard to get a picture of it from a moving bus, but you typically pass it on the way to Downtown Disney.




Raglan Road - One of our favorite restaurants!  It's located at Downtown Disney and is pretty easy to get into (for a Disney restaurant). It has your standard Irish pub fare (in a higher quality, of course) as well as dancing and singing after 9 pm (most of the artist's CD's you can buy on property). They also have a counter service restaurant outside and a pretty cute gift shop (no shock there...it is Disney after all). But the best thing about Raglan Road is the bread pudding! It was the absolute best I've ever had in my life!! But, without further ado, how about some pics!











Then we have Rainforest Cafe - there are two of these on property, one at the entrance of Animal Kingdom and the other is at Downtown Disney. The food is OK, but the atmosphere is out of this world!! Every thirty minutes, there is a thunderstorm and all the audioanimatronic animals wake up and go nuts! It's great!! They also have an amazing gift shop and you can get a Rainforest Cafe card that gives you priority seating and 10% off of merchandise (and food as well if you get a nice cast member).





And that's it for "R"!

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
