A Very Disney Christmas : EPCOT Edition


      

Our third park was EPCOT, and while it seemed to be the least decorated of the parks, it still had some awesome decorations. Aside from the enormous tree at the entrance to the World Showcase, the American Pavilion had an equally enormous and beautiful tree. Most of the countries had some pretty wreaths over buildings and on lampposts.

While they were pretty, we didn’t only focus on the decorations. We rode Test Track, and Journey into Imagination. We even go to see the new Muppet show as we left Spaceship Earth.had a lovely dinner at the Rose and Crown and rode the Frozen ride in Norway.

  Our last day in the parks was spent revisiting EPCOT. We explored more of the World Showcase, rode Soarin and Journey Into Imagination. We rode Frozen again and had some delicious snacks at the pastry shop nearby.  We also got to see the gingerbread Whitehouse in the American Pavilion and heard the Voices of Liberty sing. Then we visited the American Adventure, which is a great animatronic show that brims with patriotism. I tear up every time I see it.

What to Watch After Stranger Things

Image
         Anyone who’s watched the Netflix original series StrangerThings will find themselves nostalgic for the 1980’s, cassette tapes, arcades, big hair, and the now classic movies that influenced every kid who saw them.           Most of us 80’s and even early 90’s kids longed to find pirate gold, fly our bikes over town, and save the town from evil, yet hilarious witches. Stranger Things brought back all of those childhood adventures and the feeling that while being a kid was hard, it was also amazing, adventurous, and inspiring. Being an adult can be all of those things, even if we are not helping neighborhood kids defeat monsters.           So, if after watching all three seasons that Netflix has to offer leaves you wanting more of similar adventures then here are five suggestions for you. 1. The Goonies (1985) Much like Stranger Things , young kids and teenagers, often on bikes, save their town. They encounter bullies, escaped convicts, an unlikely friend, and

Robin Hood is one of the Best Disney Movies

Image
I’m attempting to watch through every Disney movie I own before my Disney vacation in September.   So far I’ve watched Brave, Cinderella, The Lion King, 101 Dalmatians, Fantasia, Lady and the Tramp, Chicken Little, and the Aristocats.   Today I watched Robin Hood.             Robin Hood is one of my favorite animated Disney films. The animation, the characters, the songs are all wonderful. Also, it’s the legend of Robin Hood retold with animals, so that’s a winner right there.             While rewatching it today I noticed somethings.   Prince John reminds me a bit of a weaker, stupider Scar from the Lion King. In fact, he even reminds Hiss of a previous order never to mention his brother’s name, much like Scar banned any mention of his older brother, the former king’s name.   Could Scar have been loosely based off Prince John? It’s an interesting thought.             I gained a new found appreciation for Lady Cluck. She’s just so awesome and sassy. She doesn’t rely on othe

Renn Faire in the Rain

Image
My first trip to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire this season was a different experience for me. It rained; it rained a lot.   I’ve been there before in the rain light drizzles and even down pours. But this time the weather was tricky.   After the first down pour the sky lightened, tricking us into thinking the rain was over. I think we had a good fifteen minutes before the sky let loose again.    From the doorway of the bakery, we saw a show still carrying on, the actors soaked and the audience huddled under umbrellas.  Becosue that's what happnes in the shire, people come together not just to enjoy themsvles but to support eachother. And then the sun shone out from the newly blue sky, and while the humidity returned it was still a lovely day.   We still got to see some shows, and wonder the shops. As I like to say even a bad day at the renaissance faire is still better than a good day at work.   Once you enter the gates, the world shifts a bit, magic is re
