Disney Love is in the Air

Love is in the air thanks to Valentine’s Day this week. This made me think about Disney love that may be obvious, or possibly hidden. Of course, I tossed in a photo of my parents who will be celebrating their 40th Anniversary in just over a month. They are the reason my family has such an enormous love for Disney. The Love is in the Air theme from Focused on the Magic just worked rather nicely this week.

Disney Loving in February

Each month, the Disney Wordless Wednesday has a calendar shot for the first week. Valentine’s Day is huge at Walt Disney World. Back in 2010, we were there the week before and saw how merchandise came alive for the celebration of love. I thought I would make my calendar shot of TechyDad and me from our recent trip with Minnie in her pink outfit by Storybook Circus. The rest are some memories from our chilly February experience back in February 2010.

Long Lost Disney Friends

For 2013, Disney has launched Limited Time Magic where something new and exciting will take place throughout the year. Recently, I watched friends and family members share photographs from their time at Walt Disney World during Long Lost Friends Week.

Although I was not able to make it there to see Flik, Clarabelle Cow, Remy, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, and all of the Robin Hood gang, I knew that I had something fitting. Here is a photo from a long lost magical trip to Walt Disney World.

An Old Disney Favorite from 1983

This retro photo from May 1983 is with Tweedle Dum, my little brother, and I am sporting pigtails. We were enjoying the day at the parks. This trip would also be our first chance to see the newly opened Epcot. If you look closely at my brother, he also had a vintage shirt on. Yes, it is for River Country which closed in November 2001.

So many magical memories and a day with a character that is rarely seen.

What is your favorite retro or rarely seen Disney character? I would love to know and hear all about your experience.

Disney Pinterest Pics

There are a lot of people that share Disney photos on their Pinterest account, not just blog posts. I am not really one of those people. I have my Disney Life for Me board, but it is filled with posts about Disney from others and also has some of my own. Even before Pinterest was popular, I loved making fun collages and/or adding captions to my photos. Pinterest has just made it more of a hobby so I can make sure there is an item to be pinned on each post. This week, we were asked to share some of our Pinterest photos for the Focused on the Magic theme. You can also click on the picture and it will take you to the blog post it came from (a magical bonus).

Mickey Takes Time to Listen

My boys have not always liked going to have photos taken with Disney characters. We actually have documented the way that they have grown up and learned to enjoy interacting. Two years ago, JSL really came out of his shell. He was finally willing to walk up to the characters when his big brother went running ahead.

Meeting Mickey at Disney's Animal Kingdom

No, we no longer had to hold him in our arms. At nearly four years old, JSL was warming up to Mickey and other characters. There may not have been a smile on his face, but he was having fun.

Once the boys took a photo with Mickey, we did the obligatory family photo. Where else can you get a photo with everyone in it?

Then, something even more magical happened. JSL stopped to say something to Mickey. Not only did he wait to listen to JSL’s request, he bent down to accommodate his kiss.

Of course, there was more. Mickey returned the kiss back to JSL.

Have you had any extra magical moments like this with a character that you captured? I would love to hear all about them.
