Memorial Day

Today we give thanks to all of our servicemen and women who protect us and ensure our freedom.

Next time you're in Disney today, stop by Shades of Green and thank the service men and women that are there, stop and see the Flag Retreat Ceremony at Magic Kingdom and listen to The Voices of Liberty.

All gave some... some gave all

Today, tomorrow and always, we remember and we thank you!

Hidden Mickeys.... and not so Hidden Mickeys

We love Hidden Mickeys in my family! There are so many out there from the different silhouettes and can be found anywhere... here are some fun Hidden.. and not so Hidden... Mickeys. 

Some Hidden Mickeys are handmade...

Some are too cute for words...

Some are good enough to eat...

 Some are as big as your head...

Some you find at home and smile thinking of Disney.... 

Some are very well hidden and take some work to find... 

No matter where you find your Hidden Mickeys we hope they bring a smile to your face!! 

Have a MAGICAL Day!

Disney Dollars

Disney Dollars are 'Disney currency' that can be used in the Disney parks and resorts. They were really popular years ago and have been making a comeback despite the widely used Disney Gift Cards.

This year Disney Dollars are available in both Disney hero and villain themes and they come in $1 denominations. They can be purchased at Guest Services in any of the Disney theme parks, at any Walt Disney World® resort and at the World of Disney Store in Downtown Disney.

Many people purchase Disney Dollars for souven-ears during their Disney vacations but many parents are now purchasing them to teach kids the value of money on their Disney vacation. Disney Dollars are a great way to have your kids decide when and where they spend their vacation allowance or they can save birthday and allowances during the year to exchange for Disney Dollars to spend on their Disney vacation. If your child is old enough to take control of a purchase him/herself, have them check that they were given the correct amount of change! Once they realize that spending their Disney Dollars on souvenirs means that they are going to be limited in their purchases they will really learn to control their buying of souvenirs they might like to have vs. souvenirs that they REALLY want.

See, Disney is full of fun, MAGIC and learning ;)

Have a MAGICAL day!

Streetmosphere

In New York City we have subway singers and Naked Cowboys... in Disney we have STREETMOSPHERE!! :) They're street performers that enhance the atmosphere in the parks. This would be how the term streetmosphere was born :) 

 These performers are sometimes very funny, sometimes very groan-worthy and sometimes so entertaining you find yourself really stopping for a while just to watch! Check out some examples of the streetmosphere found in various parks... there's even a performer from the Boardwalk in the pics too! :)
