It’s time for another Kill/Refurb/Marry! The blog hop topic for this month is Disney Resort Pools, which means I am going to have to cheat like woah. See, I’ve wracked my brains, I cannot for the life of me remember a time I actually availed myself of a Disney pool. Oh, sure, I ALWAYS pack a swimsuit, just in case. Who knows what...

I’m afraid I’m going to have to once again ask you to forget everything I said previously. So you know how when I signed up for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon I said that either my mom or my boyfriend would go with me? Well, it was leaning toward Pat going, but he’s not sure he’s going to...

Have I ever mentioned my favorite animal here? Well, it’s the humble shark. Because sharks are AWESOME. So whenever I see them in WDW, I combine two loves in one place and become super excited. Sure, there are the obvious places – The Seas with Nemo and Friends has a whole play section dedicated to Anchor, Chum, and Bruce....

The rather mundane element is this: I am going to a conference in August. This is my fourth year attending said conference, and while it is not without elements of fun (or not; I’m looking at you, San Francisco), the trip is not in and of itself something to get all worked up over. Only the exciting element is...

It’s Kill/Refurb/Marry time again! I found this installment of the monthly blog hop particularly fertile. This time around we’re talking about extinct attractions. Strap in! Kill: American Idol: The Experience Man, an embarrassment of riches with this one. Body Wars is a decided no thank you on my part, but since I never rode it I can’t speak to it knowledgeably...

My mom recently sent me an email informing me that she had found an old photo of us together at Walt Disney World in 1990. Naturally I immediately requested a scan. Apparently 4 year old me wasn’t that impressed? I certainly don’t look too thrilled. Dig my mom’s stylin’ Mozart t-shirt, though. I think we can all agree that...

JENN: And now we welcome once again one of my favorite traveling companions, Elizabeth. So! Splash Mountain! What do you recollect? A constant refrain when going through my WDW photos: “Who’s that guy?” ELIZABETH: Well let me see, I remember enjoying the ride! It was slightly strange because I never saw Song of the South, so the characters weren’t...

JENN: Photographic Memory time! Did you see the pics I want to use? MOON: Ah, yes. The dinosaur puppets! JENN: Here we have Moon helpfully modeling dinosaur puppets from the big gift shop in Dinoland U.S.A. – I believe it’s called Chester and Hester’s Souvenirs of Extinction or something like that? These pictures are from December 2008, so the details for me are...

Are there any things in your daily life that make you think of Disney even thought in the absolutely technical sense they have nothing whatsoever to do with Disney? I’ve been running across this phenomenon largely as regards music. Remember that time Estelle and I watched the Burudika concert and the crowd did a dance to Shakira’s “Waka Waka?” Well,...

JENN: Hi guys! Please welcome once again my frequent partner-in-crime Elizabeth! I wanted to bring her in because it occurred to me that it might be interesting to find out what INfrequent WDW visitors remember from their trips. As it’s been awhile since Elizabeth was there, she’s a perfect candidate. I believe the last time I dragged you down was...
