Hello bloggers, it's a beautiful muggy night here in good old Massachusetts, or should I say morning as it's almost 5am, and as I lay on my bed trying to sleep and failing to do so, I decided to write a little. For some reason this site wont load on my computer so I'm typing on my phone which means until I can properly update, this will be short and sweet. Last night Christopher took me to see the new Pirates movie. I dont know why the reviews have been so poor, I liked it a lot; very witty. Also, there has been a pirates section added to World of Color and the trailer for the muppets movie is out and it looks awesome. Lastly for now, Cars 2 seems to be advertising like mad for this new movie. They made a Statefarm car insurance commercial... Really Pixar? really? Unnecessary.

"I hate kids, they're barely human."

It has been cold, cloudy, and raining for almost two weeks now.  Where's the sun? Where's the warm weather? Why can't I be at Disney? The fall advantagers have been checking in this week and I'm super jealous of them all.

In other news, Legoland is has announced that it will be officially opening October 15th. This means that I will be in Florida for the grand opening of Legoland.  That's pretty darn cool.

A cast member was injured in a fall in Animal Kingdom and brought to the hospital.  There's no other news about it so far.  What's with people constantly getting sent to the hospital?

The new Pirates movie, although being very profitable, is not getting the best reviews.  Uh oh, this makes me nervous but I still can't wait to see it and judge for myself.

Fun, creepy fact of the day: Osama bin Laden's brother has a mansion a few miles north of Magic Kingdom.  I so want to go see that when I'm down there.

Cute image Pixar made for Vanity Fair : ]

Boozin' and Bloggin', this is the life

POTC 4 has had the biggest international opening of all time.  It grossed $346.4 million world wide ... holy moly.  It's also been leaked online so if you're too lazy to go to the theatre or too poor (like me) you can still see it.  Of course, Chris told me I wasn't allowed to watch it without him so who knows when I'll be able to see it, sigh.

A woman was found unconscious on Space Mountain yesterday so the ride was shut down for the day.  She was taken to the hospital and so far there's no word on why she was passed out or how she is.  The weather was pretty bad so it was probably from dehydration or something.  She did have some medical condition so it wasn't the ride's fault even though Disney was telling the guests that the ride was shut down due to technical difficulties.  No matter what happened, our thoughts are with her.


George Lucas on Star Tours.  He looks like he'd be fun to hang out with. I don't care if he's like my parent's age, he's friggen George Lucas!!

Details about the Fantasyland expansion are out.  Some of this I knew, some of this is new:

• Cinderella's Castle is getting a new wall to divide it from the rest of Fantasyland
• The Beauty and the Beast Castle/ restaurant will be in three sections, the main room/ballroom, West Wing, and Beast's art gallery.  Special effects include snow that will be year round.
• Gaston gets a tavern and Belle gets a 40 min. interactive ride
• The Dumbo ride is getting redone. New paint and new carousals
• Ariel's under the sea journey will have scenes of her grotto and Ursula's lair
• The Barnstormer is getting new paint, a new station and is now being called The Great Goofini
• The Seven Dwarf's Mine Train is a roller coaster which has an appearance by Snow White

Cars 2 will officially be showing a teaser of the new Pixar film Brave

I think that's all I have for now.  Oh, congratulations to all those that survived the rapture yesterday! Even though he called it off way before 6pm, and that was the second time he predicted the end of the world.  Next, we just have to get through 2012's "apocalypse".

New Cars 2 trailer ... Lego edition. Was Pixar just bored? or inspired? You decide.

"Why is the rum always gone?"

Today is kind of a big day for Disney.  Today is the opening day of POTC 4!!!

  

Oh the smoulder ... <3

Anways, Star Tours opens up today too!George Lucas himself is making an appearance to commemorate the opening, that would be sick to see him.  There's a live stream of the event going on but I don't know where to find it. I think it's on the Disney official blog if anyone's interested.

I saw Thor yesterday. There's definitely a reason it's been the #1 movie for two weeks. I liked it a lot and it does sort of have that Disney charm even though it's a superhero movie. I recommend it, so you should go see it.

I mentioned a while back that Armie Hammer was in talks to play Tonto in the new Lone Ranger movie, well he was officially signed on the for the role, so yay

Tim Burton pulled out of the Maleficent movie!!! I was so looking forward to seeing what he'd do with it too :(

Michelle Williams was brought in to play the good witch in the new Oz movie, that'll be interesting. The cast is pretty awesome so far.  They have James Franco, Mila Kunis, and Rachel Weisz, all of whom I'm a fan.

All for now folks

Just for fun

If I had a Fairy Godmother ...

 

I'd want this gown

With these shoes ( but in white, with some sparkle)

Live in this Castle     

 

 With this "carriage"

Be this wealthy

And this happy ... 

With this Prince

Christopher <3

For this long

"I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this. Have a nice day"

Thank youuuu Disneyyyyy

 

Oh how girls everywhere shall miss Wizards of Waverly Place ...

WDW's Tiki Room is going to be reopened on Friday. It was shut down because of a fire that happened in January, I wonder if that fire was intentional ...
Disney trademarked the Seal Team Six logo for video games, I find this odd but maybe that's just me.
ABC canceled No Ordinary Family : ( womp womp.  They canceled a few other shows (Detroit 1-8-7, Off The Map, Mr. Sunshine, Brothers and Sisters and ‘V’) but this was the only one I watched, can't say I'm too surprised considering how they ended the season though.
Vanessa Hudgens wants on Glee. Ryan Murphy, SAY NO! No one needs High School Musical to invade an actual good high school musical.
Check out the video of the progress being made on Cars Land in Disney's California Adventure, it looks pretty cool so far.

and I had a nice conversation with my roomie Becky last night at 3am haha.  She seems so nice and so fun, I can't wait to meet her in person. It already feels like we've been friends forever.  We both like Canada, we're both night owls, she lives right near Niagra Falls which is so cool! and I can totally tease her for being from NY cause I'm from MA haha. Ugh Disney, why are you so far away?

"Attention campers. Lunch has been cancelled due to lack of hustle. Deal with it"

GRADUATION DAY!!! Officially an alumni of Bridgewater State University woot woot.  Now I just have to get everything ready for Disney and wait for the 9th of August to be here.  Today's adventure -- banking.  I have TD which is hard enough to find around where I live, it's non existent down there.  The CP recommends Partner's Federal Union which was set up specifically for WDW cast members which is kind of awesome so I'll have to check that out when I get officially put on the pay roll. It won't let me apply for membership this early, I tried.
I didn't even know that this was a lawsuit, but apparently the lawsuit against a Donald Duck who groped a lady was dismissed lol.  First he was a Nazi, now he's a sex offender ... I knew there was a reason I never was a big Donald fan, not to mention I could never find him in the parks to get his autograph!
EPCOT's Flower and Garden Festival comes to a close tomorrow, only leads to me question what do they do with all the figures and flowers when the festival is over?
You can be eligible to win  $250 Disney gift card if you book a vacation through Pixie Vacations -- so basically you have to spend a hell of a lot more money to get the card but hey, more Disney stuff!
Two guys have been charged for selling fake Disney pins, and those pins are a big deal to a lot of people so if I was a victim in this I'd be wicked upset. On the other hand, because those pins are in such high demand, congrats to the men for coming up with the idea, it was a good one, a bad one, but a good one. I'm glad you got caught.
Muppet's teaser poster! I apologize for the poor quality, that's how I found it.


Official synopsis of the new Monster's Inc movie can be found here, it's short and sweet and makes me excited : ]
I found this article saying Disney villains should really be heroes, I don't agree with it but it was interesting so if you'd like to read it, go ahead
and last but certainly not least. POTC 4 comes out in  6 DAYS!!! that is less than a week my friends! Who's going to the midnight viewing? If I could convince Chris to, I'd so go!

Room is all packed, finals are all done, checking out in about an hour ... I'M DONE WITH COLLEGE!!!!

This is so crazy, I can't believe four years of college is already gone, me and my roommates are like ahhhh we don't want to leave each other!!! : ( : ( but it has its upsides, no more classes, tests, annoying neighbors that scream in the middle of the night which makes sleeping impossible ... Anyways, my friend recently turned me on to thatguywiththeglasses.com's nostalgia critic, he's pretty funny and he has a mouth of sailor. While looking through his rants, I came across one that was Disney related so here ch-ch-check it out!

"I told you kids to stay out of my butt!"

This is the last weekend that Disney World is doing Grad Nite. The tradition started back in 1972 to fill the park on the off-season but now that they're pretty busy all year round it's becoming too much to handle so they're stopping.  Sorry classes of 2012 and beyond, you're being gipped.

Today is the world premiere of POTC 4!!! It comes out here in 2 weeks and I'm sooo excited for it, I love me some Jack Sparrow.

Series finale of Suite Life was last night, tis an end of an era ... and I'm glad.

There's two scripts being written for a new Tarzan movie, I don't know why they have to make another one but this one will be live-action so maybe it'll be good.

There's a new Pixar short coming out called La Luna. The producer says it's a lot different from the other shorts they've done; that better not be code for it's bad. Here's the synopsis:

La Luna is the timeless fable of a young boy who is coming of age in the most peculiar of circumstances. Tonight is the very first time his Papa and Grandpa are taking him to work. In an old wooden boat they row far out to sea, and with no land in sight, they stop and wait.

A big surprise awaits the little boy as he discovers his family’s most unusual line of work. Should he follow the example of his Papa, or his Grandpa? Will he be able to find his own way in the midst of their conflicting opinions and timeworn traditions?

From 6-9am on July 23, passholders can get up to 75% discount on select merchandise in Downtown Disney. "Don't you just, llooovveee a bargain" : ]

and last but not least, one week from today is my college graduation. I have one more final on Monday and then four years of college will officially be complete.  Today I have to pack up my room which will be very bittersweet.  As much as I'm so over being in school, I don't like being home. If there was a way I could stay here without having to take class or pay for anything, that would be lovely.

I finally gave Cars a chance, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, still think it's overrated though. I also saw the movie Beastly which is suppose to be a modern take on Beauty and the Beast, also wasn't as bad as I thought so all in all it's been a decent movie day, and it's only 4 o'clock!

"You get your picture in the papes, you're famous. You're famous, you get anything you want."

My News: Today was the last day of classes, potentially for years, YAY!! I got to hold a human brain in class today too, twas an experience to be had.

World News: Bin laden has been killed

and most importantly, Disney News! : Since the refurbishment of Splash Mountain, there's a chance that you won't get wet if you ride it.  The way they angeled the water cannons, the water doesn't reach as far.
-The tickets for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party are on sale! I'm hoping to work these so I won't have to buy tickets.
-Speaking of tickets, tickets for the Night of Joy 2011 are also on sale, if you look at the lineup this might interest you more.
-A while back I mentioned a story where a crew member went missing from a Disney cruise, well they still haven't found her but her credit card was recently used so this is giving people a lot of hope that she's still alive, and I hope for their sake that she is.
-The British Invasion is being replaced with a band that plays more than just Beatles music, this saddens me because I was looking forward to seeing them : (
-Also in the realm of bad news, there won't be a second Wizards movie, womp womp

All for now : ]
