Disney Cosplay and Henna!

We recently went on vacation to the Unschoolers Waterpark Gathering at Kalahari Waterpark in Sandusky Ohio. This is a great week of fun and friends! I was able to put a little Disney in my trip on two occasions during the week and thought I would share.

One day is designated as Cosplay day, so I wore yellow shoes, black shorts, a red and white polka dot shirt and my Minnie Mouse ears. It was super cute and I received a lot of compliments. I even made an unhappy little girls’ day happier and we had fun talking about how much we both love Minnie. Unfortunately I did not manage to get a full body shot of my Cosplay, but I did manage to get a selfie of my ears and shirt by the hot tub.

It was very bright that day and I noticed that my own shadow looked like Minnie’s head, so I snapped a photo of that too.

The next night is henna and movie night. I love henna night. I love the way it smells and seeing all of the amazing designs that people create. I however, always make a stylized Mickey Mouse on my own hand. People generally get a kick out of it.

During the last night we have a family dance and get family photos. I wore my Minnie Mouse kigurumi. The photographer thought it was cute and wanted to get a photo of the prop giraffe nibbling on my ears. Only problem is I am short. Its still a fun photo.

Disney, DAS and Disabilities

You may or may not be aware of the recent changes at Disney for guests with disabilities. In the past, guests with disabilities could obtain a GAC (Guest Assistance Card). This card let guests with multiple types of disabilities (and up to 6 family members) that may not be able to stand in long lines or who used mobility assisted devices such as wheel chairs and ECV’s that did not maneuver well in lines, a separate queue with less waiting and more room for maneuvering . Then this happened... Rich Manhattan moms hire handicapped tour guides so kids can cutlines at Disney World . Obviously not in the spirit the GAC was intended. Disney decided to change their GAC policy to the DAS (Disability Access Service) . The DAS basically works like a fast pass. You take your card to the Disney Cast Member and they give you a return time based on the current wait times for that ride. The family can then go do something else and then return...

Disney and St. Augustine “Let Them Eat Cake” Vacation Part 8 & 9

Day 9 & 10 – Castillo De San Marcos, Old City, Drive Home We woke up early today and ate at the continental breakfast served at the hotel. I liked the St. Augustine Inn . I like the location, the price, the room, staff (it is owned and run by a husband and wife team). However, I have 2 complaints. The shampoo and conditioner were those trial, single packs and if you asked for more you were charged for it. Obviously that wasn’t going to be enough for 3 people. It was cheaper to stop at the local drug store and pick up a bottle of each. My second complaint was the breakfast. It consisted of coffee, tea, juice, a cereal assortment, English muffins, butter and jelly. There was not a piece of fruit or protein in sight. Not even peanut butter. This did not ruin our trip or anything, it was just kind of a shock after Disney. We had plans to visit the Castillo De San Marcos this morning and we were...

Blog Updates and Changes

Up until very recently, this has been a family blog chronicling our life as unschoolers. Our daughter graduated in spring 2017 so I felt I needed to take our blog into a different direction. I tried blogging as a mom with an adult and how my life was changing, but the tone was very different from how I had been posting. I thought about it and have decided to make this an all Disney blog. I removed all of the past posts except for our Disney trip reports. My daughter and I have a few Disney videos we made and posted on my YouTube channel so I think I will post those here, although they are older at this point. I’m not sure why I never thought to share our vlogs on this blog, but inspiration has finally nudged me to share. I plan on posting some Disney at Home and Disney craft posts too. However, we are currently in the process of renovating the kitchen and repainting the whole house. Most future Disney home and craft posts will b...
