Not All the Disney, But Still Some Disney


I posted back on May 9th, 2018, that I was changing this blog from a family blog to a Disney blog.  I also mentioned that I was going to create a new blog for me to post about how life changed now that our daughter was an adult and doing school was no longer our day to day. Well, I have been pretty lacking on posting anything to be honest.  Actually, I just realized I have purchased some things for my Disney collection that I never shared here!  I am a bad, bad blogger.

We never went to Disney for our 25th anniversary, despite our best intentions.  I don’t foresee a whole lot of Disney vacationing in my future to be honest.  It’s gotten so expensive. 

While I love Disney and love to do little Disney things, Disney crafts, Disney purchases. I also love Halloween, work at a haunted house attraction, garden, craft, have a work life, am dealing with the changes of aging and perception of aging.  I have a lot of things on my mind.  Instead of starting a new blog, I am going to post more here, but not only about Disney.  I will still post about Disney, just not exclusively. 

Honestly, at this point I doubt I have any readers.  Its fair.  I don’t post often enough to hold anyone’s attention.  I do however need a venue to get my thoughts out of my head.  Maybe even a place for me to look back on, a record of sorts, for my own memory.  I had actually forgotten about that original post and my plans to start a new blog.  I noticed that the video that used to be in the post had been removed.  I think I removed it from YouTube, but I’m not actually sure.  It was just a large grey block. 

So here we are. I imagine I will be changing the blog header and profile photo.  It has always bothered me that Mickey has four fingers when the blog is called High Five Life. So, again, changes to this space, updates to come, hopefully more actual blogging, and I will post some of that Disney stuff I forgot to post here.

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...

Fairy Godmother Cosplay

  I went to an Anime convention this past weekend with my daughter and some of her friends, along with one of my friends.  It was mostly anime but there were some costumes from other IP's, such as Disney.  I met several adult cosplayers who cosplay Disney character pretty often and enjoyed my conversations with them.  It got me thinking about my days as an older teen and twenty something and my favorite cosplayers back in the day.  I also did some cosplay back then and was feeling nostalgic.  As an 50+, plus sized adult, I generally do very generalized, non-specific cosplays.  But in recent years I have a dream cosplay of being Fairy Godmother from the original Cinderella animation from 1950.  I just adore her.  I started discussing it with my friend and wondering how my con experience would be different if I went in recognizable cosplay.  My friend and I sometimes get treated as "less than" at cons.  It feels ageist.  I am won...

Disney Food

Since I didn't get to go to Disney for my 25th anniversary, and it looks like we may not being going for a while yet, I have become interested in creating Disney themed foods, getting Disney cook books of theme park recipes and creating things like Tea at the Grand Floridian or a meal at Casey's Corner here at home. I am also having a hankering for some Mickey waffles, because everything taste better when its shaped like Mickey.  I am working on a plan.  I hope to have it come to fruition soon. Have a Magical Day!
