Once Upon A Time

Last year the girls and I got caught up watching Once Upon A Time. It comes on ABC at 7:00pm Central time. The characters in Once Upon A Time are Disney characters and it is a mystery type show. It is really good, maybe a little dark for kids, but I let my kids watch it. :)
A group of fairy tale characters have been pulled from their world into ours by the Wicked Witch after she casts a mysterious and powerful dark curse, taking her revenge upon Snow White and all of the rest. They have taken up residence in the town of Storybrook and have no memory of who they were, how they were all connected, or who they loved or hated in that other life.

 

We are so excited because the new season starts TONIGHT! If you need a good Sunday night show to watch, you should check it out. I highly recommend it!

Frankenweenie

Frankenweenie is a new Tim Burton/Disney productions movie that is coming out next weekend. We love Tim Burton movies and this movie looks really good.
Subway came out with reusable Frankenweenie bags with glow sticks and the girls have been begging for us to take them to get them. We all love Subway, so any excuse to go there is good for me. :) Yesterday we decided to stop by Subway before heading to the high school football game. My girls love their bags!

Wrapping paper

I have been doing Christmas shopping since January. As soon as we booked our trip I started grabbing things when I found them on sale, so my closet is piled with things for Christmas. I found some really cute Disney Christmas wrapping paper at the Dollar Tree, they also had some boyish wrapping paper. I might go back and get some of it to wrap my husbands gifts in, haha!

Avengers

In 2009 the Walt Disney Company bought out Marvel, so now all the Avengers are a part of Disney. Everyone in my house are huge superhero fans, so we are very excited about this!

Avengers came out on DVD/Blu-Ray Tuesday and I grabbed it this morning for my husband. Looks like we will be having movie night tonight at our house. My favorite Avengers character is Thor, Nathan's is Iron Man, Abby's is the Hulk, and Baylee's is Iron Man. I have a feeling she will probably like Black Widow after watching this movie. :)

Here is a picture of the Avengers Monorail at Disney World.

 

Penny Press

Today the girls decorated their containers for the penny press machines at Disney World. I love being able to have them do stuff like this and them not have any clue that we are going to Disney soon. They think everything we are doing is to get ready to go maybe next summer.
When I picked them up from school I had them each a drink and a tube of the mini m&m's for their snack, healthy I know, haha! I bought a couple packages of princess stickers and let them decorate anyway that wanted. When deciding on colors of things we usually do green stuff for Abby and blue for Baylee because of their eye color. :) So Abby's is the green container and Baylee's is the blue one. I went ahead and filled them up and layered them with 2 quarters and 1 penny so it would be easy for them to separate at the park. You have to put 2 quarters in and your penny and when you do it you'll get a pressed Disney penny.
Here is the location of all the pressed penny locations around Disney World.

 

I found this online and thought it would be something neat to do with their pressed pennies later on.

 

Here is one example of what the penny press will do.

 

Interesting Information

Walt and Roy Disney are brothers, Roy has a daughter named Abigail and Walt has a daughter named Diane. My little Abigail Diane and I both thought that was very cool!

 

Here is the statue of Roy Disney and Minnie Mouse.

Letters to Villains

Tonight the girls decided to write letters to their favorite villains. Abby picked Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty and Baylee picked Ursula from The Little Mermaid.
A few months ago they wrote letters to their favorite Disney characters and received postcards in the mail from them. I really hope they get something from Maleficent and Ursula.

 

Here are the postcards they received.
