Christmas at Disney

I'm not going to lie. I'm super excited to visit the happiest place on earth. Our flight leaves tomorrow morning and we don't get back until Christmas Day.

Things I'm pumped to see/do?
- Ride "It's a Small World." I know it's probably one of the oldest and least exciting rides, but I could never get enough as a little girl. I was all about the dolls.
- Ride "Pirates of the Caribbean." I hear Captain Jack now makes an appearance. I may have to ride this one several times...
- Ride the monorail.
- See Cinderella's Castle.
- Ride Space Mountain.
- Ride the Tower of Terror. We're also visiting MGM.
- Ride the Haunted Mansion ride. It's where I first held hands with my boyfriend back on my inaugural marching band trip to Disney. I know. How cool was I?!
- Ride as many rides as possible with my nephew, B.

Things I'm not looking forward to?
- Seeing a thousand "Chip and Dale" (the Chipmunks, mind you!) characters all around the park. Seriously, can a girl get a Mickey, Minnie, Goofy or Donald every now and then?

Will be sure to post many pictures upon our return!

In case you're in need...

A and I stayed at a Sheraton this weekend for N and M's wedding.

One of my most favorite things? The complimentary toiletries display in the bathroom.

I left for the weekend with some Scope, a "tool kit," and even a sewing kit.

I felt the "shoe mitt" could stay in Ann Arbor though.

* We concluded that the shoe mitt was to help shine your shoes... However, we could be wrong.
