Have safe travels and an amazing time! :)

Just two... These are the longest work days ever.

I know what I said but I'm not going to keep this going. We can agree to disagree and I'll just look forward to seeing the change.

I really think you're reaching with your interpretation of what I said. There are plenty of people who will enjoy having a female pirate in the ride. I don't think it's going to change the world or anything but I think there are many who will enjoy it. Especially young girls who like things like...

They probably could have come up with a better "story" for that scene, I'll give you that. I'm withholding final judgement till I see it finished but I don't think it will matter to the overall ride experience.

Where did I say I relied on a theme park ride to inform my social views? I just said it's nice to see this change. We aren't far from a time when girls could only play house and princess. I think it's great that a female pirate is featured. To add, my Dad also has three daughters. We were...

There were literal female pirates. They existed. We are also having a conversation about a ride that features Johnny Depp in a park with a land called "Fantasyland". Even if they didn't exist, it wouldn't matter.

No one will be harmed by the new ride, either. I think you significantly underestimate the positive outcomes from seeing people who look like you represented in things like this.

As a kid, I would have been excited to see a female pirate. Sure it is just fantasy but girls in the past were often excluded from anything but playing house or princess. It's nice to see Disney acknowledge that girls can be part of adventure stories too! They already do that with their movies...

It has been warming up here too! Still in the 20s but it is amazing how warm that feels after a week in the -30s. I've still got my fingers crossed for good weather on the 18th. The forecast isn't looking too terrible right now for GR. As long as these lakes behave themselves, I think we'll be okay.

Eight days to go! These last two weeks feel like they are going by slower than the months preceding them! I initially told myself I wouldn't start packing until this weekend but I broke down and started already. Of course once the suitcase is out our cat, Rory, thinks it is just for him...

There were female pirates though. Not many but they existed. Anne Bonny is the one I can think of off the top of my head. That doesn't particularly matter though as Disney World is a land of fantasy more so that history. Not every girl wants to be a princess. Some girls want to be pirates! Why...

Finally hit single digits! 9 days to go! :D

Thank you! It was the best day! :) It sounds like there will be a few of us there! So looking forward to it!

That's wonderful to hear! I've wanted to do it for years now, so glad to finally have the chance! Last days are the worst. I already get a bit sad thinking about ours (trying to plan a fall trip for our anniversary so it's not as bad). I'll be sure and keep an eye out! I noticed we had the...

Two weeks from today we will (hopefully) be flying from frigid Michigan to Orlando! These beauties came in the mail just before Christmas- Of course I have made a few changes since I last posted. We were able to refine our FP+ reservations so they flow better thanks to new openings for 7DMT...

14 days! It's currently -30 with wind chill where I live. I am ready for Florida weather (which isn't looking bad for our dates).

As our Disney honeymoon is in just 22 short days, my family was so generous with the Disney gifts this year! We got both Disney and Starbucks gift cards and Mickey Mouse pajamas. My wonderful parents got me a purse from the new Cath Kidston x Disney line. My husband got the black ears hat from...

So excited for you! We just got our ME paperwork yesterday and I'm so anxious for the MagicBands to ship!

My trip is 01/18-27! We will be doing MK (for the Keys to the Kingdom tour) on the 25th with Epcot in the evening. One the 26th we will be at Animal Kingdom until we hop back to MK for the after hours event. I think the 27th is looking busy because the NFL pro-bowl is that weekend. I think the...
