Something From Disney I Collect or Wish I Collected (Day 9, Feb. 28)

I don't know if these count, necessarily - because they don't come from Disney World per se. Instead, these snow cone cups (I apologize for all Tinker Bells, but it's the best photo I could find online) come from Disney On Ice. And trust me, I frequented DOI until I was older than many of the other girls and boys in attendance. I just loved it that much.

Every year, I would go to a show, purchase a snow cone, and return home with an awesome cup. Some years, it was a simply themed cup like the ones pictured above, but other times, the character MADE UP the cup entirely, with the cap consisting of Mickey's cap or Flounder's top fin (for example). I must have at least 10-15 of these from all the shows I've been to. All I know is, they never get old.

Something From Disney I Collect or Wish I Collected (Day 9, Feb. 28) - Vinylmations. I've collected these little guys for a couple years now. I love the little Mickeys with the cute designs and I *love* opening a new box I just got to see what's inside! I particularly favor food themed ones or park themed ones!

Day 8, Feb. 27 - Favorite Queue for a Disney World Ride

Ever since the Imagineers put the cemetery up in 2011, I've been a total fan of the awesome outdoor addition. Every headstone has a clever rhyme and the touch-and-sound instrument carvings on the side of the organ play a slow, eerie version of "Grim, Grinning Ghosts." The best part, in my opinion, though, is Poetess Prudence's window. Her voice chimes in with a poem and you answer with the final word. It still makes me really happy when I guess it in time.

Favorite Disney World Restaurant (Day 7, Feb. 26) - Boma. I love the Animal Kingdom Lodge in general with it's rich colors and African vibe, plus the savannah outside filled with exotic animals. Boma is such an excellent restaurant to dine in. It's a buffet and you definitely get your money's worth. There's alot of new flavors to discover so it's something different. It's absolutely delicious and the selection is fantastic. All the mini desserts are perfect and yummy and just the right size to try a bit of everything.

Stormalong Bay at the Beach Club Resort wins hands-down in my book. Every time my Massachusetts cousins come down for a visit, they stay at the Beach Club and take full advantage of this awesome pool (as do I). I mean, c'mon, it has a sandy ocean floor, a lazy river, and a tide pool!

Not to mention, it boasts arguably the best waterslide of all of the Disney resorts, starting at the "shipwreck" across the boardwalk!

Disney World Ride That I Miss (Day 4, Feb. 23) - TTA. So, this is not so much about the ride in general as it is about the Star Tunnel music and the old narration. I ADORED the old narration, it brings back so many wonderful memories as a kid and riding this attraction. I really don't like the new narration!
