Hi. I'm Kim. I'm an adult who likes Disney, but not a Disney Adult, which is why we never even entertained the thought of spending $5,000 on two meager nights in Disney's Star Wars themed hotel with 100 windowless rooms. After only being open a year, Disney announced a few days ago that the last "voyage" of the Starcruiser will be Sept 28-30. The reviews (many by comped Disney influencers) were good, but the hotel was rarely full and an immersive experience like that costs a lot of money ...
Friday 5: After ‘Im
Happy Friday! This time last week I was at Walt Disney World. Look at this magic! The fireworks started just as we came to the front of the line to have our picture taken. Gorgeous. SIGH. We left last Thursday and came home on Monday. It was amazeballs. We stayted at Port Orleans: French Quarter which is my new favorite resort that is not my beloved Polynesian. I have more photos to share but WM has to download them from Disney's website. I only have watermarked ...
Refreshing It's a Small World
Rabbit Rabbit! It's a Small World is one of my favorite Walt Disney World attractions. I like the glitter-encrusted sets, the cute dolls, the catchy song and the last room, where all of the kids play together in a peaceful park without geographical or cultural boundaries. But like Country Bear Jamboree, I'm constantly in fear that The Mouse is going to bulldoze this in favor of something better. Here are my ideas for how It's a Small World can be modernized just a little bit. Let's keep in ...
Walt Disney World: November 2014
After our Walt Disney World trip in spring, we were pretty bummed. You know what it's like -- you look forward to something for so long and then BOOM - all over. As a result, we decided to embrace our DINK status and plan a trip for November, when NJ schools are closed for the yearly teacher's convention. The time frame overlapped both the last days of the Food and Wine festival in Epcot, and the beginning of the holiday season. Can you handle this beauty? Since our trip began on November 5, ...
One more thing about the MagicBands
I forgot to put this in the WDW review post, and that one's already long. Here is what the MagicBand looked like on my wrist from the top: Kind of okay, right? But here is what it looked like from the side: My wrists are the teeniest-tiniest parts of my body. The part with the transmitter couldn't be bent and was longer than that part of my Montgomery Burns-esque wrist. So no matter how I turned it, it stuck out. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it never truly became unnoticeable. I'd like ...
The Frazzleds at Walt Disney World
Years ago while I was still at the C-P, I sketched a self-portrait at work. As you can see, my artistic skills are second to none. I named her Frazzled Kim and stuck her on my computer monitor. A few months later, as WM and I approached a sorely-needed Disney vacation, I created an full length sketch of her and gave her a charming and equally-frazzled partner. I pulled up a picture of Walt Disney World on my monitor, taped them to the monitor, snapped a photo to text to WM, and The Frazzleds ...
The Number of the Mouse
We have a trip to Walt Disney World coming up, and I gotta tell ya, Disney's spending mucho bucks in order to track how many churros I consume in a five-day period. Our room keys, park passes and FastPass+es are/will be connected to these bracelets, called MagicBands. All we'll have to do to get around the park is hold up our wrists in a slack-jawed and zombie-like manner. I can manage that. I also think this bracelet will serve as our PhotoPass card. We'll even be able to connect our credit ...
Throwback Thursday: The first Walt Disney World souvenir
In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, I've been digging through my memory box - a literal box - of things I've accumulated on my journey from miss to ma'am. I have a lot of Disney merchandise hanging around. From the mirror above yesterday's shamrock bear to the bag I carry every day, I'm pretty well saturated with a corporate logo. It's a little crazy, but it makes me a better person because I can't throw shade at an adult wearing a Hufflepuff House scarf when I have cartoons on my purse. But ...
