Destination Disney - Disney in Green

When I think GREEN and Disney... what comes to mind?

Have you ever seen the grass so green?  

Or, in this case, a bush?

Topiaries!  Lush, green and GORGEOUS!  Another piece of artwork created by those fantastic Disney Imagineers.  And I love how they're ever changing!  Some stick around, like these fun characters next to the Mad Tea Party.  But new ones come all the time.  And don't get me started with what pops up around the Flower and Garden Festival.  Wow!  Here are a few I've seen over the years.  Enjoy!

When I think BROWN and Disney... what comes to mind?

That tree is talking to me!

Disney's Animal Kingdom's Tree of Life.  145 feet tall.  Nearly 400 gorgeous carvings.  How could it not be the first thing I think of?!  Even though I know it's not real, I still can't help but touch it, just to be sure.  So life-like!  Did you know that the 102,583 leaves are each more than a foot long?  The time and detail that went into the construction of this icon just amazes me.  I think Walt would have been proud.

Another work of art that can be found in Disney's Animal Kingdom is the baobab tree (also known as the "upside down tree").  Like the Tree of Life, this is an Imagineer-made structure.  If it were real, it'd bloom year round because of all the rain Florida gets. 

Anyone wondering where my "That tree is talking to me!" quote is from...

When I think PINK and Disney... what comes to mind?

Once upon a dream...

Princess Aurora.  The official Princess of our house.  That honor was bestowed on her the day she kissed my 5 year old on the cheek.  It left a mark, not only on his face, but in our hearts.  Stephen thought it was the coolest thing ever.  And Aurora remained on her pedestal even after this years visit when, my now 6 year old, asked if she remember said kiss.  "Of course!" she replied.  "It looks like it's been washed off since then".  So.  Sweet.  Here's to Princess Aurora.

The kiss. 2011

Noticing that it's now missing.  2012

Lions,Tiggers & Bears, Oh My!

Years and years ago I bought this adorable shirt at Disney's Animal Kingdom with a lion and a bear on either side of Tigger.  It read "Lions, Tiggers & Bears, Oh My!".  Cute, right?!  Being a Wizard of Oz fan and Disney fan, it was one of my very favorite possessions.  It started to fade from its crazy-multiple washes, but I didn't care.  When it got stained though, I set out to buy a new one, only to find that I couldn't.  Disney no longer carried it.  Sad face.  Now it's been replaced with that one of Pooh with the magnifying glass, inches from a tiger, asking "Tigger, is that you?".  Yes, still cute, but just not the same.

I still have it (as you can see!), maybe I'll try one of my Pinterest-stain-removal-methods on it.  I knew I kept it for a reason!  Sure, I'd have to also use some of my Pinterest-weight-loss-methods to actually wear it, but hey, that's a whole other issue. *wink*

Anywho... back to the topic at hand.  ORANGE!  Tiggers.  Tigers.  That's what comes to mind when I think... orange and Disney.

Fore!

Its iconic shape may slightly resemble Willy the Giant's golf ball, but really, it's so much more!  Spaceship Earth.  My 6 year old LOVES Spaceship Earth.  On our 2011 trip, he must have ridden on it at least 4 times.  We're in Walt Disney World, right now (insert your extreme jealousy here!), but only up to 2 trips through the past, and seeing into our own future.  One thing's for sure, EPCOT wouldn't be EPCOT without that fantastic geosphere.  Here's a little photographic dedication to everyones favorite "golf ball".

Here are some shots taken just this week!

The End.  Beginning.

Destination Disney - Disney in Turquoise/Teal

When I think TURQUOISE/TEAL and Disney... what comes to mind?

Just keep swimming....

That luxurious, cool, refreshing water.  Pools.  Attractions.  Mermaids.  In the hot Florida summer sun, the lovely turquoise color is man's (and woman's) best friend!  We just about swoon when we see it after a long, hot day.  These photos may not be as refreshing, but they're still pretty fun to look at.  Enjoy (and keep cool)!

Disney Towel Art

After a long day in the hot parks, what's more fun to come back to than some Disney Towel Art?!  I enjoy it so much that I actually get a little disappointed when I don't find some.  I know, I know, Mousekeeping isn't required to leave me those adorable little animals in the bathroom or iconic Mickey heads on my bed, but I sure to love it when they do!

Wanna know something cool about your towel animals?  You can take them home with you!!  You're actually encouraged to!  That has got to be one of the coolest Disney souvenirs e-v-e-r!

Not staying on propery but still want a towel animal?  If you visit the Polynesian Resort early (before noon) and go just inside the main entrance you'll find a Cast Member making Hawaiian leis with a small table set aside for children to join in and make their own.  Some days you can also find a Cast Member making towel animals here!  No, really!  Stop by and watch, maybe you'll even get to take one home!

Enjoy some of the creations that have been left for me.
