Avengers Fashions Assemble! Her Universe Hits Another Home Run in Marvel Fangirl Fashion

Tony Stark jacket

When I saw this new line of Her Universe designs my mouth dropped and I wished I was 20 again. I may have to throw my pre-conceived fashion notions out the window for a few of these new items. They are that adorable. The Loki dress is to die for, and the Tony Stark jacket is fabulous. I love them ... Read More

The part in Tangled when Rapunzel and Flynn sing "I See The Light" is without a doubt, my favorite scene in any Disney animated film, and it has been beautifully created in cake form below. I do not know who Isabella is, but she sure was a lucky girl to get this amazing Tangled ... Read More

Instagram post 2193121348379911561_8048168 🕯 One of my favorite things ever to do is look at Christmas lights, and @otisney indulged my request to do that after our lovely dinner at @eathungrypants. We didn’t even realize that Lake Eola in downtown Orlando had these fun displays around the lake but we were glad we stumbled across them after visiting our magical wedding venue at the @drphillipshouse.

This giant ornament was a fun and popular spot for selfies and group photos. There were a few spread out around the lake. I had some fun editing the colors a bit. They turned the lights off at 9 tho so if you visit, plan accordingly!💡 We also drove around College Park and that’s the last photo in this group, they had a lovely display at a park there.

Do you enjoy driving around and seeing holiday lights? It’s easy to stay in the theme parks because so much is happening, but it’s fun to get out and explore too!

Instagram post 2192389663457526685_8048168 Sometimes it’s hard to remember that Walt Disney was a man, not just a name on a theme park. He was a visionary as many of us know, and really changed the way we create things and how we see the world even 53 years after his death.

One of my favorite places to be is the @wdfmuseum in San Francisco. I love it for both its well-presented content and also the setting; the Presidio (a former military post) overlooking the majestic Golden Gate Bridge.

Part of what you learn at the Walt Disney Family Museum is about the man that Walt Disney was. Where he came from, his family, his wife, his children. Even the fun things like where they traveled, including Yosemite National Park (the second photo here). But also the struggles that he had as a person and professionally. Seeing Walt as a relatable human who did amazing things really brings home so many of the quotes he’s said about doing the impossible or moving forward.

I think it’s always good to take a moment and reflect on where things started. While it’s very easy to just throw out the “I hope we never lose sight of one thing, that it all started with a mouse,” it really started with a man. A man that had dreams and thought differently and found a way to make those dreams a reality. Even by going “up the waterfall” as Julie Reihm is realizing in their discussion about Pirates of the Caribbean in this first photo.

So today we wish Walt a happy birthday and we remember why he started the things he started. The things that have brought so many of us together in so many different ways. The things that keep us seeking new dreams, encountering new realities, and venturing down new paths...because a man with a dream showed us that it was possible.

Happy birthday Walt. #thankyouwalt

Instagram post 2191563938552900050_8048168 So, I know today is a big day in the world of Disney parks, as many folks are riding Rise of the Resistance as I type this. Instead, I’m reflecting on one of the best days/nights of my life - my wedding day with @otisney. 💜
4 years ago today we gathered family and friends, some of whom we only knew because of social media and “DisTwitter” or my blogging at zannaland. I wish we had an unlimited budget and could’ve invited everyone we knew! I also wish I could rewind to that day and relive it again.
💜
I can still remember the air of excitement and all of the planning and preparation coming together. There were some bumps along the way of course (how could the caterer run out of potatoes for the mashed potato bar?! and the DJ played played our first dance song for its full 3 minutes and 32 seconds rather than the minute and a half we asked for lol), but I wouldn’t change anything (well maybe the mashed potato situation and blinking in most of my photos haha). The night was just so perfectly us; relaxed and surrounded by love and silliness.
💜
4 years later and SO much has changed, but we’ve gone with the flow, grown, and changed with the seasons. Our love for each other has grown too and though we made this leap and joined our lives together in our later years, everything happened the way it was supposed to, and our #HappilyEverOtis is unfolding before us, filling our lives with love, support, and laughter.
💜
Thank you to everyone who took part in our day, has been a part of our story, and continues to be a part of our lives. It meant so much to share our day with you, and we appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy holidays and theme park activities (there was actually an event announcing the addition of the Three Caballeros to Gran Fiesta Tour that day!) to witness our new chapter. Thank you to @DisneyRoots for capturing so many of those memories. I love the candid photos as much as the posed ones!
💜
And thank YOU for taking the time out of YOUR busy day, with holiday activities or Disney theme park events and news to read  this caption.💜💜💜Happy Anniversary @otisney! I love you more today and every day!💏

Instagram post 2188931105741248379_8048168 Finally made it over to the #ChristmasTreeTrail at @disneysprings (check my story for all the trees and fun sights!)
.
I love all the trees this year and even tho it was a Saturday afternoon, it wasn’t too terribly crowded. We didn’t have to wait too long to see some trees and not at all to see others!
.
It definitely put me in the holiday mood and ready to decorate my tree. Scroll thru and watch my story and tell me your favorite tree. What makes it your favorite?

Instagram post 2184984619894526652_8048168 This year’s ICE! at @gaylordpalms is PHENOMENAL. This is by far my favorite theme and the details and design this year are just so amazing. This slide room with the scene from the train crashing through the ice has such incredible forced perspective, I didn’t want to leave! I’ll have more photos throughout the season and our video will be up later today! #polarexpress #polarexpresstrain #gaylordpalms #visitice2019 #cagp19

Instagram post 2184491878907488580_8048168 How about this for a room with a view?? We love  @gaylordpalms so much, a huge thank you to them for having us out for the preview of ICE! It’s been a while since we’ve stayed here but it’s just as beautiful as we remembered! Have you visited or stayed here? 🌞

Instagram post 2184314566383677356_8048168 Happy #SpaceshipEarthSunday!🌐
.
I took a little liberty with editing the colors but I really like the shades of blue and purple that showed up.💜💙
.
#SpaceshipEarth remains one of the last places (along with the Land pavilion🌱) to get some of the original #EPCOTCenter goodness that still exists.
.
Even with changes planned for Spaceship Earth, I’m hopeful it will remain an iconic attraction and keep its important messaging. The preview for it at the #EPCOTExperience gives me goosebumps, and hope.🤞🏼
.
🌐What about you? How do you think Spaceship Earth will change and what would YOU like to see added?🌐 Happy Sunday!✨

Instagram post 2183549684860281816_8048168 Everyone’s going crazy for the new ⛄️Anna and Elsa❄️ costumes in their meet and greet, but @tikibirdz and I are just out here hangin’ with our ‘munks! 🐿🐿
.
Full disclosure, I don’t think these guys are meeting and greeting any time soon, but yesterday we got to see them in some new holiday looks, and they also had blinking eyes 👀 👀 and their mouths opened and closed! 😮🤭😳 So I knew we had to go meet them and say hello. I told them they had that “new chipmunk smell” when I hugged them, cause they did! 😂 I’m not sure if they were just testing them out here and they are really just going to be in the stage shows or parades where it makes more sense for them to open their mouths. Kinda weird for a meet and greet where they don’t talk anyway lol 🤷‍♀️
.
But anyway, Chip and Dale are the best so there you go. Who’s your favorite character to meet? Besides these guys, I love getting Chewbacca hugs!
