Well....

To say that things have been a bit crazy lately is an understatement as it is almost Disney time again! I've debated whether to pre-write enough Disney Reviews to cover me while I'm gone, but honestly, there just isn't time and since my mother is pup-sitting at my house, my little ones have to hide their "Dog with a Blog" capabilities from the strange human. So, I'm afraid this is adieu for a couple of weeks while I'm letting my inner Asper-child run free in Disney World! Despite the constant rain that the Florida forecast is calling for, I still aim to add exponentially to my Disney photo collection (while trying not to drown my camera) and will have not one, but two new resorts to show you, two new restaurants, a new ride, a couple of new shows, and who knows what else! I leave you with stitching progress from the past few weeks (that I forgot to post - the Disney force is strong in this jedi princess). It ain't much, but it's something I g...

Disney Reviews: Show Edition #6 - Muppet Vision 3D

There are numerous 3D shows throughout Disney World. This one is my favorite! I am a child of the 70's, so therefore I am a Muppet child. It was an event to watch the Muppet Show and I still remember them to this day. This 3D show has all the best gags from the old show and a few more. Located in Disney's Hollywood Studios, Muppet Vision 3D takes up a fair amount of space behind Star Tours and just across the way from Toy Story Pizza Planet: The courtyard has all kinds of hidden treasures: You could literally look around the queue forever and NEVER see everything: It never fails...you set up the perfect shot and someone insists on walking right into frame: P-I-G-S I-N S-P-A-C-E! and I absolutely LOVE the pre-show...almost as much as the real thing! The theater inside is gorgeous: And, as per usual, it has a its own store and the hidden touches extend into it as well: It really is an amazing show and it's great to see...

Disney Reviews: Shopping Edition #7 - Art of Disney Store

There are numerous Art of Disney Stores across Disney property, one in each park and the main one Downtown. For the purposes of this review, let's visit the one Downtown. The best place to get Big Figs (giant Disney sculptures), character drawings (done by a genuine artist in residence), Disney artwork, sculptures, prints, figurines, Disney cross stitches, and pretty much any collectible you might want can be found at this store! Located directly across from The Disney Days of Christmas Store: This is another one of those places that I wish I had more pictures of, but sadly, this is the lot: The only reason why I have these pictures is because I use them as a guide of things I might like to buy either on the trip or in the future. I have managed a couple of them throughout the years, but only a couple. Given unlimited funds, this would probably be the store that I could spend the most amount of money. Until that day, I will continue to walk around it in a daz...
