Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!

December 6, 2012 By Anne

Have you ever been to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party? It’s a wonderful event at Disney and I would recommend if you ever get the chance to go, to go!

Disney is so magical and what better way to spend time with family during the holidays than at Disney?

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a special event held select nights in November and December at Magic Kingdom theme park.

There is a special Holiday parade and live entertainment. This event does require a special ticket so only so many guests will be allowed in.

Every night of the big party there will snowfall and you will be able to get hot cocoa and cookies throughout the park.

There are special meet and greet sessions with your favorite Disney Characters. We went two years ago and met up with Mickey and Minnie.
The party starts at 7:00pm and goes through to midnight.

The party will only be on select nights. Here is the list for 2012: November 9, 12, 15, 25, 27 and 29 and December 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 16, and 18.
Below are some pictures from 2 years ago. We are excited to be able to go again in 2 weeks!!

We received tickets to attend later this month. Opinions are my own.

I'm a mother of 2 who likes to get involved in too much! Besides writing here I started a non-profit, I'm on the PTO board, very active in my community and volunteer in the school. I enjoy music, reading, cooking, traveling and spending time with my family. We just adopted our 3rd cat and love them all!

Wreck It Ralph Starts Today Nov 2nd!!

November 2, 2012 By Anne

Wreck it Ralph came out today in the theaters!

We were lucky enough to get to see it early. My daughter, who is four, was super excited to go it. She talked about days before and after the movie.

Wreck It Ralph is about a bad guy in the video game, Fix It Felix, who is tired of being the bad guy. He wants to win sometimes and be accepted by his peers. He leaves his game in search of the medal that will give him the respect he longs for. Along the way he meets Vanellope von Schweetz, a small girl who wants to be like all the other girls in her game. Ralph and Vanellope work together, but will they make it in time?

The movie is about an hour and half long, not bad for little ones. I did hear the words stupid and idiot, which are bad words in our house. Other than that, I think it is an adorable movie and can’t wait to see it again! I’m sure this will be one we buy!!

We received rickets to see the movie. Opinions are my own.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green Review and Fun!

July 29, 2012 By Anne

THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN opens in less than a month (August 15th)! We were so excited to be able to see it early!

I took my two children, 4 and 11. I really thought the movie was good and want to see it again. Going with children sometimes does not allow me to “see” the whole movie. The children enjoyed the movie and some of the funny parts, but at times became bored. It’s not an action packed movie, but more of a drama. I love the messages this movie brought. How you should use your gifts, not waste them.

I would definitely recommend this movie for kids and adults, but you know your kids. If they are looking for action, this is not it. It’s more a feel good movie.

Below are are some fun projects to finish out the summer! Have fun!
