Numbah 3!

Day 3 of the Disney Challenge! Favorite Prince!
Ok, this is kinda tough....I was really torn between a couple of them...but once I sat down and really thought about it, one really stood out to me.

Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty. I like him because he was willing to defy his father to be with Briar Rose. He had no idea that she was a princess, and when he found out, it didn't change anything for him. He went through so much to be with her. I mean, c'mon, he faught a dragon! lol

So, when I think of a prince. I think of the guy that will do anything for me, no matter how impossible it may seem.

Alright! Day 2!

Disney 30 Day challenge: Day 2! Favorite Disney Princess!

Ok, this one is easy. My favorite Disney Princess is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I can relate to her the most. She is kind of a bookworm, very smart. She doesnt like Beast at first. She is frightened of him. I love how Beast must change for her, instead of the other way around. She is caring, and nurtuing, even to those who arent very nice to her.

So, Belle wins for this challenge :) Hands down.

30 Day Challenge: Day 1

So Haley found this amazing 30 day challenge on tumblr, and I just HAVE to do it!
 
So today is day 1...My favorite Disney Movie!
 

Ok, on this I am so torn! I have two favorites! lol
 
Beauty and the Beast is one of them. I absolutely LOVE Belle! She is so headstrong, and stubborn lol kinda like me. I also love the songs too. I swear, I could sing them all day long! And the story itself is amazing. It is about the Beast, and his imperfections. About trust, and finding out what is important in life.
 

Toy Story Is the other movie. The first one. It is just so fantastic! I have always wondered what happens to the toys when you leave the room. lol And Toy Story is very special to me because it is a movie that grew as I grew. Andy is the same age as me. He is going to college, like I am. And so this is a bit of noglastica for me, going back and seeing him when he was five. I felt like I myself was five again.
 
So stay tuned for the next challenge!

Pop Century: The "Forgotten" Years

So I should be making the reservations soon. lol
Pop Century is one of my favorite hotels not only for the price, but of the controversy surrounding its other half.
Pop Century was originally supposed to be opened at the end of 2001, but then the tragic event of September 11, 2001 and Florida's slow economy prevented this from happening.
But, half of Pop Century did eventually open in 2003. Pop Century Classic years, featuring the decades from the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s are all up and running, but there is a dark cloud just across the hourglass lake: The unfinished half of the Pop Century Legendary Years.

The Legendary Years were supposed to feature the decades of the 1900s, 10s, 20s, 30s, and 40s. Compared to the bright colors and elaborate decorations of the Classic Years. The unfinished part of the Legendary Years look dark and haunting, not necessarily like a typical Disney Resort.

Many people don't like how this resort is not finished and they consider it an eyesore to look at. I personally find it completely fascinating. It's like the black sheep of Disney World. You know it's there, but no one really talks about it.

Or so I thought.

I was looking for a little more information on this matter and so I googled it. Well It took me to a lot of websites talking about River Country or Discovery Island. No one was really talking about Pop. Until I found a thread on the DIS Boards

Wow, many people wondered about this place too! I know the thread is a bit old, but it is a very good read.

So Jess, Caitie, Taylor when we stay at Pop we are definitely going to have to check this place out!
