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 to Disney, my husband and I, along with our daughter and her man. I don’t think there will be a lot of trips after that. However, we may try a Disney cruise at some point. 

I also really want to go to Epic Universe in Orlando. I love the IP’s they are putting into the parks and those new space themed hotels look pretty fun. I have only been to Islands of Adventure, and have never been to Diagon Alley. So, I would actually like to take a week at Universal Orlando. Universal used to be a day 6 park of the Disney trip. My how things have changed. 

Did you hear that Cedar Fair and Six Flags have merged? I am interested to see how that changes parks like Cedar Point, a big-time coaster park in Sandusky Ohio, and Kings Island, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Other Cedar Fair parks include Knott’s Berry Farm and Carowinds. I know that some smaller parks that were bought out by Six Flags kept their names but under the main title was added “A Six Flags Park”. It will be interesting to follow along and see what happens.

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...

Let Them Eat Cake, Pre-Trip Report Part 4

This is my last pre-trip report!  I meant to keep up with this more but it has been so busy these last couple weeks. I ordered two T-shirts for my husband and I to wear during our trip. I created 20th anniversary shirts over at  Zazzle . They turned out really cute! They are a pale yellow because my husband said he didn't want white, and say "Celebrating 20 Magical Years together" with a picture of old school Mickey and Minnie giving a smooch. Zazzle T-shirts "Celebrating 20 Magical years together" I also made two T-shirts for hubby and I to wear on our daughter’s Birthday from Custom Ink .   I chose them because they had a stock tiara design that I liked.   I think these shirts turned out super cute too.   I double checked with my husband before we had them printed to make sure the design was not too girly for him.   I chose purple and green because these are our daughter’s favorite colors.  They say "My Princess is Sweet 16" with a tiara ...

Home Made Mickey Waffles

I usually make eggnog pancakes for Christmas morning, but I waited too long to get eggnog and it was all sold out.  I remembered that I purchased a Mickey waffle maker (why have I not been using this appliance?) and I thought Ahh, holiday Mickey waffles!  I just used a regular boxed waffle flour but added a little vanilla extract and green and red food dye!  Very festive! Also on the menu was omelet roll, potato casserole, fruit salad, candied bacon, and cranberry sauce.  It was all super yummy!
