The Dizziness of Disney

Top of the morning. Hope everyone got to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend. Last week, we had the opportunity to set up our Fast Pass+ for the character encounter/rides/etc. I stayed up till 12am with high hopes of getting us passes to meet the always popular Frozen ladies Elsa and Anna. I read several places that you have to try to get the passes 60 days in advance. DAMN. To my surprise, I wasn't able to get us a single pass, which means that we'll have to suffer in one long-ass line at some point on the day we arrive. I did get us Fast Passes for meeting Ariel, Tinkerbell and her friends as well as Repunzel/Cinderella. Disney is overwhelming at times, but if you think of a game-plan, things hopefully work out, but it's important to have other options when things don't work out. Hopefully when we get to Magic Kingdom, everything works out and she has lots of fun. Going in June means it'll be super hot, but I always handle heat and humidity like a champ.  Mia was still on Spring Break last week, so we took the Friday we normally would be at school, and met up with her friends at the Playgroup at the library. It was nice catching up with everyone and the kids playing nicely. Saturday, we hit up the zoo. First time (for me) this year. It was pretty busy with what I expected, were a lot of people waiting for the Brewers game to start, so they were killing some time. All she wanted to see was a hyena. So, luckily we found a couple. Later, we had a real late lunch and did a photo shoot of Mia outside in her Merida (from Brave) dress, and later in her Super Barbie costume. She had a lot of fun doing the photos and they turned out fantastic.

Sunday, I got up nice and early for the Chelsea vs QPR game. We needed the three points, and luckily, we got what we came for. QPR made the game difficult at Loftus Road, but luckily the masked Fabregas was able to get a goal at the 88th minute. Still top of the table, but hopefully Loic Remy will be better for the Man U game this weekend. Didier Drogba was struggling at times, but did his best to keep up with the pace.

Nothing too exciting to discuss art-wise. Trying to get some time here and there on my dog portrait. Mia's back at school Friday, so hopefully I'll get a little work on it. null all for now, thanks for reading!
