Just a quick post to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
This year is different for me, as it's the first time I'm working on a holiday. It'll be kinda strange as I've always spent Thanksgiving at home prepping for dinner, watching the Macy's Parade, and looking at Black Friday ads with the family. I'm very thankful for the job that I have, so all is well. We close early though, so I'll be home in time for the yummy turkey dinner!
You all know how I love Disney, but what you probably don't know is that Aladdin is my favorite Disney animated film. Even though it wasn't one of the movies I watched over and over and over again (Toy Story 2 wins for most watched movie in our house), it's always been a favorite of mine. I thing it's mostly to do with the songs. They're really catchy.
Because of that, I'm super duper excited that they're turning it into a Broadway musical.
The Muppets. You either love 'em, or you can't stand 'em. And I just happen to be one of those who think they're the best.
As you may or may not know Muppets Most Wanted, a sequel to the 2011 film The Muppets, is going to be in theaters this March. And Wednesday the released the first official trailer.
I. Can't. Wait.
It's true, The Muppets wasn't the most amazing movie ever, although it definitely had it's highlights. But let's be real, Muppet movies are never meant to be taken seriously. If you've only seen the movies, you need to give The Muppet Show, the tv series, a try. It's the best.
Going from the trailer, this sequel is bound to be great. And since it's the Muppets, I think I'll actually go see it in theaters. Which is something I very rarely do.
So, how 'bout you? Are you a Muppet fan?
I've had this blog for two months now, yet I haven't posted a thing about one of my favorite topics: Disney.
Ever since I can remember I've liked Disney. When I was little my favorite video tape was The Jungle Book, which I called the "bare necessities". My dad bought several of the original Mickey Mouse cartoons when they released them on DVD, which my sisters and I watched a lot. For my 13th birthday I planned a Mickey Mouse/Disney themed party, including a giant Mickey head cake that used four cake boxes and had mini chocolate chips on the sides.
And those few things just scratch the surface of my fascination with it. The parks, movies, cartoons, the store. I love it all.
If fact it's not just me with a fascination for it, but my whole family. Tiana was obsessed with anything princess when she was little, but especially with Snow White, her favorite princess. Alina and Daniel both love The Lion King more than any other Disney film. And since my dad's always been a big Disneyland fan, it's because of him that we started going to Disneyland.
Disney is just something that I never grew out of and I doubt I ever will. Even now at nearly twenty-years-old (*gasp* When did that happen?!?!) I enjoy it just as much as when I was younger. If fact, I think it's safe to say I love it even more. Just as my mom, she can vouch for acting as excited as a four-year-old every time I go in the Disney Store. There's lots of squealing and hugging Mickey Mouse plushiest involved.
Anyways, all this is to say I'm working on writing a lot more Disney related posts, and since I'll likely refer to past trips, I thought it would be a good idea to give a short little summary of each trip so you hopefully won't feel lost. Let's start from the latest trip and go backwards...
When The Piano Guys released they're first album, they included a few new songs that' they hadn't released online. One of those songs was Arwen's Vigil, which instantly became a favorite. It makes my list of top favorite slower songs and I'm happy to say that they finally released a video for it this past Tuesday!
