Baba Booey?

I just received a notice in the mail from Clearwater Marine Aquarium. They are filming the sequel to “Dolphin Tale” this fall! Winter is a true inspiration for all people with “Hope” on the horizon. If you are not familiar with the true life story of Winter, the Florida dolphin who lost it's tail, then check out Dolphin Tale on DVD. As annual members we are amazed at the growth of CMA since the film debut. It went from being understaffed, barely staying open to now being a major tourist destination in our area. Please come visit and say “HI” to Winter and Hope and the rest of the sea-life here at Clearwater Marine Aquarium www.seewinter.com Hey, I just might see you there!

"Shhh" this is a Disney secret! Few people know there is a basketball court for Disney employees in the Matterhorn's attic. Shhh, I said......you can reblog if you type "Shhh" first

I’ve decided that I’m going to start a brand new Disney tradition in my family with my childhood Mickey Mouse piggy bank. (1970’s) I gave this to my daughter when she was about 2 years old. When she’s married and has her own children. I want her to hand it down to her kids and they can continue this tradition for generations! I feel giddy knowing that one day my future great grandchildren will have something I cherished as a child. ( I might even leave a note inside for future generations to read )

This is everything I love, under one umbrella!

We had the pleasure of sharing our dining table with a family of 5 from Chicago. The oldest (9yo) Gabrielle amazed us at dinner one night when she sketched Mickey and Minnie in 5 minutes! That kid was AWESOME!

A cool shirt at Zonkos Joke shop. I will post more photos of items from Honeydukes as well

While we were sitting down enjoying our ice cream, a door to my left opened and Captain Mickey came out! I guess you can say he was a hidden Mickey (for a moment) He shot us with a finger “bang bang” and gave me a high five ! Stay tuned for more character meet ups from this trip.

Disney Cruise ship the “Dream" A few places “all you can eat" by the pool area. My favorite was the banana & chocolate ice cream. I had at least 3 cones a day! Oink!

After browsing my vacation photos. I found 2 more hidden Mickeys I missed at the Enchanted Gardens gate! Can you find them ?

The first hidden Mickey most people see driving from Tampa to Kissimmee on Interstate I-4. It’s hard to miss it’s a HUGE power line!

Some hidden Mickeys that I found around the ship. The lamp in my stateroom The bread basket at The Animators Palete and the carpet The World clocks in Cabanas cafe (only when perfectly timed) In the glass work of the main lobby chandelier When my daughter asked for ketchup on her fries the waiter made a Mickey without her seeing it The shower curtains in my stateroom bathroom

After 2 days in the Atlantic Ocean, all I wanted to do was get on solid ground at Disney’s Castaway Cay. Approaching the crystal blue waters & and sugary sand. I noticed the HUGE sign posted right before hitting the beach. WTF!? Sharks? Barracuda? Sea Lice? Seriously? WTF? Disney you brought me here to die? So I decided to take a chance against all the odds. Sadly, I lost a battle by stepping on a sea urchin. (Still have the needles in my foot) Hell, that’s better than losing to a fucking shark!

I finally got to check off my bucket list a Disney Cruise! My favorite stop was at Disney’s Castaway Cay Island. We were greeted by Jack Sparrow and the rest of the Disney characters. More photos coming ….

I’ll be posting from Universal Studios the awesome Transformer 3D ride very soon.
