DisneyBounding

I recently learned a new term: DisneyBounding

This is when you dress up as a Disney character using modern clothes out of your closet  (and not store-bought costumes).

Here are some examples:

 Cinderella, before the ball:

Marie, Aristocat:

 Donald:

And Drizella and Anastasia, the step-sisters of you-know-who: 

There is even a Facebook page:

Wish I had thought of this:

Happy Birthday, Donald!

Brunchin' at the Gaylord

The hubby and I had Sunday brunch over at Gaylord Palms  the other week-end. It was our first time there even tho we drive by it nearly every day.

Most definitely impressive.

As we walked through the 4-and-a-half indoor acres of different atriums (Everglades, St Augustine, Key West, Emerald Bay), my thought was: Disney should do THIS!

St Augustine atrium

Oh, and the brunch?
I didn't try everything ... but did have best tiramisu I've ever had ... otherwise, just okay.

Our service was lukewarm, but other servers seemed pretty good.

Would I recommend it?   Sure.
And don't forget to get your parking ticket validated!

Goodnight, Sweet Princess

Annette Funicello, original Mouseketeer and unofficial Disney princess died yesterday.

Annette Funicello beloved Mouseketeer dies at 70

I watched Annette every weekday afternoon on our little black and white tv set all those many years ago and wanted to be just like her. As role models go, I could not have chosen a better one.

 

And for anyone who does not know who Annette Funicello was:
