Not All the Disney, But Still Some Disney

I posted back on May 9^th, 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 25^th 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.

Theme Park News

Photo by Mice Chat Well, The Disney Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser, closed. I never did get to go to the experience. It was just too much cost. Things in my life changed and I couldn’t justify the expense. Instead, I watched YouTube videos and read blogs about others experience at the Star Cruiser. I think I would have loved it, but I was able to see what others experienced, while saving myself $6000. I am including a link to a Mice Chat Blog about the closing. They did attend and have some great photos. I was actually a little bit surprised by the news of the closure. Disney spent so much money and time on its creation and construction. Initially they said they had no plans to do anything with the building or experience. However, they have since said they may do a smaller, less intense version. I will keep an ear out about the future of the Halcyon. I would like to go back to Disney at some point. They again raised prices and I feel like there may be one more big trip t

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 howev

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 to the line and get near instant acces
