MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU To celebrate, we encourage you and your family to immerse yourself in the greatest galaxy to ever exist with…

My Disney story began in 1978 when my parents took our family to Disney World for Christmas.  I was only five years old, so don’t remember a lot about it (except being terribly scared on The Haunted Mansion ride!).  I knew I was engaged to be married to the perfect guy when we were discussing honeymoon options and we both decided to we wanted to go to Disney World.

That began a string of Disney being woven into our lives between trips to the World and Land, Cruises (five so far!) and personal touches in our home and relationships that all have to do with Disney.

Like many of yours, our family is a big fan of Disney.  Our family vacations have revolved around their parks and the Disney Cruise Line for the last 21 years, starting with our honeymoon.  So it was with great excitement when I learned that I get to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration next month!  Disney Parks & MomSelect sent me a whole box of goodies to get my party started and I know the moms and kids who come are going to have a great morning.

Have you all been to the movies lately?  If you haven’t then let me clue you in on a release that will be coming out in November from Walt Disney Studios called BIG HERO 6. 

Better yet…let me show you!

From the studio that brought you “Miracle” and “Remember the Titans” comes Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm,” an inspirational baseball story sliding home on Blu-ray™, Digital HD, Disney Movies Anywhere, DVD and On-Demand October 7th! Exciting bonus features include an alternate ending, deleted scenes, outtakes, “Training Camp,” “Million Dollar Music by A.R. Rahman,” and more!

Based on a true story, sports agent JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) finds that business has changed and things aren’t going well for his career. In a last ditch effort to save his livelihood he concocts a scheme to find baseball’s next great pitching ace.

I am SO excited for this weekend.  Family movie night is moving from the living room to the Big Screen!  Because we’re headed to the theater to see Marvel’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.  It’s not often a movie gets 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and I can just predict that this one is going to blow up the box office records!

Hah! Did you think I was talking about the weather?!  I’m just kind of curious how many of your kids (or you, yourselves) are still on the Frozen bandwagon?  We had a lot of fun making our Olaf Waffle Pops in March and shopping for some Frozen merchandise.  Since then here are a few new things I’ve found that are Frozen related, but you all know that if you see something Frozen you should BUY it, because like I found out below, it WILL be gone if you change your mind later …

Are you as excited as my daughter is about the release of the Disney movie FROZEN on DVD on Tuesday, March 18th?  And I’m excited about the price rollback of the DVD at Walmart from $16.96 to $14.96.  Even better…if you pick up some specially marked 24 ct. boxes of Eggo Waffles there’s a $5.00 coupon on it for the FROZEN DVD as well.  Waffles and a movie…that’s some affordable entertainment right there folks!
