If you could put any Disney attraction in your bac If you could put any Disney attraction in your backyard, what would it be?✨ . I definitely wish that the People Mover were an actual form of transportation and I could hop over to surrounding areas with ease...but I think if I could have a ride in my backyard, it would have to be the Casey Jr. Circus Train 🚂 🦒🐒🦁🐘from Disneyland. (Because hopefully then I’d get the Storybook Land Canal Boats as a bonus? 🚤✨😅) What about you?

What’s your favorite season to celebrate in a Disney Park? (It’s really hard for me to pick one, but I think I might go with the holidays but without crowds? 😅)

💛Happiness can be found even in the darkest of 💛Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. -Albus Dumbledore 💛 . I meant to post this yesterday but I was trying to find the perfect quote about flowers or yellow or hope. I gave up because life got in the way, and just now I opened this app, the photo popped up, and the Dumbledore quote (which I have memorized from watching the movies so much) just came into my brain and seemed right. . I also think that the flower bed looks like a 💛 so it seemed appropriate there too. This photo is from exactly 4 years ago (thanks time hop) and I know we all wish we could be strolling through the Grand Floridian and on our way to a Disney Park right now. Hopefully this brightens your day and brings some happy memories to mind.💛☀️💛🌼💛 . What’s your favorite Disney Resort memory?

If we can’t be there in person, let’s journey If we can’t be there in person, let’s journey back to the ⏮2017 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival🌼, with this Donald and his nephews topiary set in the former Future World walkway to World Showcase.🦆🦆🦆🦆 . EPCOT is undergoing so many changes, even if EPCOT was open right now, this view wouldn’t be possible.🌐 . ❔What’s YOUR favorite topiary ever at the #FreshEpcot festival? (Or if you’re want to go waaay back on this #TBT, favorite topiary in all of #WaltDisneyWorld - any TTC topiary fans out there?) . I have to say I have a soft spot for Figment, but I think the 3 Caballeros may be my favorite!💛🧡💚 (I’ve also always loved the sea serpent in Magic Kingdom! 🐉)

This too shall pass. ✨ . Wise words in any circu This too shall pass. ✨ . Wise words in any circumstance but especially now. From a local perspective, we know that the parks will be there and we’ll be able to visit again when this pandemic ends. For those who’ve planned and saved and planned some more for an annual or once in a lifetime vacation (whether it’s here in Orlando, California, a cruise, or any destination), it can be a much harder pill to swallow. . How are you coping with this new reality? . We’re going to start posting more to help keep the magic alive while we can’t visit the places we frequent. If you have any requests for photos you’d like to see, let me know in the comments below and I’ll do my best! . We’ve all made so many connections online and I think we are all hoping these connections will help carry us through this difficult time. Let’s stay connected! 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍

We’ll leave the light on for ya. 🕯 . As you k We’ll leave the light on for ya. 🕯 . As you know by now, all Disney parks and will close on Sunday March 15 through the end of the month. Disney Cruise Line has ceased all sailings for the next 30 days. It is a scary time for many and a sad time too, for those who have planned for months or years to experience the vacation of their dreams. . That said, the parks and cruise line will be there when this public health scare has lessened (or hopefully ended!). It’s a strange time for us locals too but we know things could be much worse if these steps weren’t taken. . For now, the resorts and @disneysprings are remaining open and we’ll keep you posted if that changes any time soon. . If there’s something you’d like to see while we wait this out, let me know and I’ll do my best to make that post for ya and hopefully make you smile and keep the magic going! ✨ Thank you all for the wonderful community that exists here and I’ll be thinking of everyone! (That sounds like a goodbye but I’m not going anywhere!) 😅🥰

Cinderella Castle may be the most beautiful icon a Cinderella Castle may be the most beautiful icon at #WaltDisneyWorld, #SpaceshipEarth May be the most impressive, but the Imagination Pavilion is where my heart and most of my formative memories reside. It’s beautiful from any angle, and I can just close my eyes and remember its former glory. Springtime and sunsets just add to its beauty, don’t you think? . What’s your favorite Disney Park icon?

Well here’s something I had no idea I needed unt Well here’s something I had no idea I needed until now. 😍💚💜😍 . If you knew me as a child, you’d know I was a sucker for a goody bag. I used to get “blind bags” of stickers back in the 80’s when my sticker album was my prized possession. I’ve always had a thing for a blind bag I guess. You never know what you’re going to get and the anticipation is a thrill! . Soooo, that said, as much as I’ve avoided investing in these #Wishables, between the Chuuby from Runaway Railway and now #TopiaryFigment?! I’m hooked. I may be in danger on Saturday when we go check out #FreshEpcot.😅 . Do you collect Wishables or other Disney things? Lemme know in the comments! . 📸: @livingthetheme

💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛 Frozen De 💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛 Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade makes its triumphant return to this year’s #FreshEpcot International Flower and Garden Festival. This photo is from last year’s festival preview, which believe it or not was the first time I’d tried this insanely popular drink. I really enjoyed it, not too sweet, not too tart. Have you tried the Violet Lemonade? It’ll be joined this year by a few new drinks including the Spike the Bee sipper cup (Honey-Peach Freeze in a Souvenir Spike the Bee Sipper Cup - scroll to see) And the returning Orange Bird sipper cup too!
