Question of the Day for June 16:
There is only one country that fits for today: China!! Because it is time to welcome a new Disney park into the family:
Happy Opening Day to Shanghai Disneyland!!
With this, the sixth Disney Resort finally is officially open, the sixth Disney castle joins the family and the 12th Disney park welcomes its visitors!
If you want to watch the official dedication, you can find it here:
I am pretty sure that no one of us is there for the opening day as I would think that if you were there, you would have told us! So, the question for today is: If a fairy god mother would grant you a on day visit to one specific Disney park anywhere in the world that you have not visited yet (just one park, no park hopping!!), which one would you pick and why?
This is the list you pick from: Disneyland Resort, California: Disneyland and Disney California Adventure; Walt Disney World, Florida: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom; Tokyo Disney Resort: Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea; Disneyland Paris Resort: Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Paris; Hong Kong Disneyland; Shanghai Disneyland
TOUGH question!! Wow!! Well.... as much as WDW is my "home" resort and I love it all, I wouldn't choose any of those. And Disneyland is ICONIC.... the ORIGINAL park where Walt walked (and I am beyond excited about my upcoming trip).... but I wouldn't choose that park either.
I think ANY of the overseas parks would be wonderful! Disneyland Paris was my first thought, but honestly.... any of them!! So bring it on Fairy Godmother.... SURPRISE ME!!
TOKYO DISNEY SEA!
I love that it's essentially another EPCOT!

Guys, guys.... we bought tickets to the Mickey Christmas Party for our December trip and then became one of ~those~ people this morning. We booked the Wishes Christmas Parade and Dessert Party experience. So essentially we paid for a special event and then bought the special event within the special event. I am both ashamed and excited for this experience since I have never seen Wishes in any form before. Isn't that crazy!?
Our party experience really is more about the ambiance and meeting characters than riding rides. I am so looking forward to this magical day - even if it added an additional $80 per person.
Don't be embarrassed! You work hard... if that is how you choose to spend your money, so be it!! Am I super jealous?? YOU BET!
I've done several crazy and impossible things. One that seemed impossible was finishing a degree while working full time with a young child as a single mom. Now if only I could do the impossible(okay not really) and get a job in the field using it.
One crazy thing I've done is move to Florida 3 times and moving away from there.
I really love it there so it's tough. Last time I drove 19 hours straight from Lakeland FL to Austin TX as the only driver. I was so exhausted when I got there. I slept from probably 5pm until we got up in morning to leave the rest of the way to AZ.
You are a rock star! Finishing school is hard.... being a single mom is hard.... both at the same time?? WOW!

Good morning friends! Well..... Happy Birthday to me. Today I am another year older. Why can't my biological age be more in line with my MENTAL age? I'm thinking.... 35 sounds perfect! Old enough to not be considered immature, but young enough to still have good skin! But I spent my first few awake moments thanking GOD for the blessings of the past 52 years.... my parents (and their continued good health), my DH (at times he makes me want to scream, but after 24 years of marriage and 30 years together, I'll keep him), my kiddos (truly the lights of my life ALL THE TIME), my health (without it I would have NOTHING), my country and my extended family and friends (including you all). I awoke with sunshine streaming into my home, a kitty snuggled next to my leg, and the quiet country chirps and bird songs that are typical of a summer morning here. Hard to ask for much more than that.
And the cherry on the "sundae" of today...... last week's suspiciously low number on the scale (that I didn't report) actually STUCK and brought a tiny friend along with it!! I'm not sure yet (gotta check my numbers) but that MAY mean I am close to 100% of my goal for June!
Okay.... I've been awake for nearly 2 hours and the breakfast fairy has not appeared, despite the fact that it is my birthday (I think that is because she lives in Rhode Island now....
), so I guess I'll go feed myself! Going to have a delicious but on-plan breakfast to start the day.... but Raisinets WILL happen at the movies later. Yup... celebrating by going to see Finding Dory with my whole family! Isn't it KIND of Disney/Pixar to open their movies on or very near my birthday!!??
Have a wonderful day!................P
