#27 - The Hotels

Image by onlywdworld.com

Oh man. I have seen pictures and video tours and highlight reels of all the amazing hotels at the WDW complex. There are soo many of them and I know there is no way I am gonna be able to see ALL of them on this trip, but I seriously can't wait to get a glimpse of even a few of them!  Disney is sooo amazing at themes and making you feel like you are in another world and I am guessing that these amazing hotels are no exception!

#28 - Pressed Pennies!

Bet ya'll didn't know that I collect pressed pennies!!  I don't only collect Disney ones either! Anywhere I travel to, if there is a machine, I get a penny.  I have even got my friends into sending them to me from the places they have traveled as well.  I have pretty close to all the available pennies they have to offer at Disneyland, so I can't wait to get some WDW ones!  Oh, and a WDW pressed coin book =)

Out of all the parks, I am most excited to see Epcot.  There is just so much to do and see and I can't wait to catch my first glimpse of Spaceship Earth!

I have heard so many amazing things about this place!  Heather is always talking about the Holiday Sandwich and even though they probably won't have it on the menu yet when we are there, I am still excited!  I love me a good turkey sandwich =)

#32 - Haunted Mansion

Just look at it!!  I love the look of WDW's Haunted Mansion and I can't wait to see it in person!  I have heard about the interactive queue they added, but I haven't really read anything about what it is exactly, so that should be a fun experience too!

#33 - Dole Whip!

Yes I have had a Dole Whip before.  Both here at Disneyland and in Hawaii.  BUT, I have never had it with Orange Soft Serve!  I didn't even know that was an option because here at Disneyland we only have Pineapple Soft Serve!  When I came across this discovery while browsing my WDW Dining app and I knew I was gonna have to try it.  A new take on a old favorite has me very excited =)

#34 - Animation Academy

At California Adventure, one of my favorite things to do is draw a character at the Animation Academy.  It took me forever to finally try it and ever since then it has become a must-do every time we are at the park.  I am excited to continue that love when I am at WDW.  Along with all the other fun and interesting things that can be found  in the Magic of Disney Animation building!

#35 - Seeing Heather in action on Toy Story Mania!

Heather is a DIE HARD Toy Story Mania addict.  There is really no other way to put it.  She did a layout on her best score ever for goodness sake!  =)  I personally love love love that ride and am the reigning champ in my family, with a score of somewhere around 180,000 (i can't seem to remember, lol).  Which I was quite proud of before I wanted to cry because I thought my arm was gonna fall off.  I would love to see her beat her best score and I really hope she doesn't completely kick my ass!  =)

#36 - Meeting Lots of Characters!

 One of the things that makes me sad about Disneyland is that they do not have nearly the amount of awesome characters and meet & greets that WDW has.  I am super excited to get to meet tons of characters and see characters that are almost never out and about here in California.  I am especially excited at the possibility of meeting Bullseye and Marie!

38 Days To Go...

#38 - Meeting Heather & Kendall

Like I mentioned yesterday, this is my first vacation without any family.  So who am I going with you ask?  I am going with my friends Heather and Kendall!!  Being part of the digi-scrap community has given me the opportunity to meet some really amazing people.  Most I only know online, but I have been lucky enough to meet quite a few of them.  Usually when they come out here to Disneyland =)  Heather, Kendall and I have bonded over our love of scrapping and Disney.  We talk daily, help each other out with problems and they are even both on my Creative Team!  I haven't had the chance yet to meet either of them in person yet and what better a place to do that then Walt Disney World right?  Now heres to hoping that we are all still friends by the end of the trip ;-)  Haha!

39 More Days....

#39 - First Vacation on my Own

This is gonna be my first vacation by myself.  My first "big girl" vacation =)  No family, no boyfriend, no backup.  If I mess something up, run out of money or miss my flight, then it is all on me.  I am sure everything will be fine.  Right?  Lol.  Wish me luck!  =)

Let The Countdown Begin!

I have now reached 40 days till my first Disney World trip!  Everyday, from today until I leave, I will be posting 40 different things that I am looking forward to on this trip.  I am super excited and I hope you all will join me on this awesome journey.  So lets get started!!  =)

#40 - Walking down Main Street

I might actually cry.  Just sayin.  Nothing is more amazing than walking down Main Street, but when you get to do it on a Main Street you have never been on before and see the amazing castle that you have only ever seen in photos (and dreams, lol)......

It will be amazing.

July Layouts!

I almost forgot to post these!!  Here are the layouts I managed to get done last month =)
