Donald Duck Fun Fact Friday - Mine

This fun fact is really only fun for me... This was me yesterday at about this time (130 PM PST):

Almost Wordless Wednesday - Love is in the Air!

Playing along with the Almost Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop at Focused on the Magic! The theme this week is Love is in the Air! So here is a photo of the Valentine's Day Decorations last year at Disneyland!

Donald Duck Fun Fact Friday - It's a Small World, after all.

For most of 2008 the "It's a  Small World" attraction was closed for refurbishment. During this time, the regular clean up and fix up happened, but there was also the additional task of adding various Disney Characters to the mix! According to Wikipedia:

The refurbishment added 30 new Disney characters each in their native land, such as Ariel under water, Pinocchio in Italy, Cinderella in France with England hosting Alice, the White Rabbit, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. The former New Guinea Room was transformed to North America with Woody, Jessie and Bullseye, and in the South Seas room is Dori, Marlin, Lilo and Stitch. The scenes, figures, props, and set pieces of New Guinea were then added to the end of the South Seas Room.



Not mentioned by Wiki - Donald was added to the attraction in the Mexico section, decked out in his three caballeros garb! It's my new favorite part of the ride and although this ride is difficult to photograph - I managed to get a fairly good one!

I also took a movie! (Different trip)

 Have a Donald Day! :)

Jan. recap and Wordfilled Wednesday - nothing like being late to the party!

Sooooo, it's February. And I obviously did not finish 31 layouts in January. I'm ok with it though - I plan to catch up soon. I did start working on scrapbooking last weekend but then I decided to try and organize my ribbon. Once I start down an organizing path, that's the end of anything else getting done. I do love organizing. :) And my ribbon really was all willy-nilly.

I also tried to do some scrapbooking last night but after I looked at a bunch of layouts I might want to lift, all my pictures, blogs and websites with inspiration - nothing! So I put it away and will try again tonight. Hopefully something will strike my fancy!

Also, I missed last weeks Donald Duck Fun Fact but I will have one later today. And, I looked and looked but can you believe in all the times I have been to DL, I only have one picture of the partners statue? I was so blown away by that, I never got around to posting a picture for Wordless Wednesday. Also, it was a pretty busy week at work - those types of days where once you are done you just need to relax for a few hours and let your mind be lazy. So there is my big rambling list of excuses why I didn't keep up with my Blog this week! :) I may make up for it with multiple posts today - stay tuned!

Guess what I just found on My Photo Bucket....

I should have started there - it's more organized than my hard drive!
