The Joy of Packing

Actually, there is no joy in packing. Period. The End. I started off packing with a system...

1: carefully wrap up breakables, and place into box with similar items
2: label what's in the box and label what room the box belongs in

and now the system has changed

1: throw whatever is near in the box
2: label it "random" and write garage on it

things keep popping up.. i swear i didn't have this much stuff!! oh well.. one more week. i can make it

Cinderella's Castle...We were there!

Yup, for 4 days we were there! well more like 2 half days, and 2 full days. For anyone thinking of going to disneyworld, i have some pointers for you. You can take them or leave them, i don't care, but it'll save you money and time!

* do buy the refillable mugs at your hotel.. 12.99 each, but you can keep the cup and refill them as many times as you want, they are smaller mugs, but it's still nice. You can't refill in the park, just at the hotels

* when in the park buy a bottle of water, 2.75 each, keep the bottle and use it to refill throughout your trip. bring crystal light if you want something flavored, if you like cold drinks like me, the food cast members will give you a cup with ice for free! this saves you 2.50 each drink!!!

* do allow yourself an hour for bus transfers, when i heard that i thought they were crazy! but will all the stops at other hotels, it can take up to an hour to get where you're going

* Try to eat your meals at your hotel, WAY CHEAPER! mike and i bought lunch at animal kingdom and our total was about 34.00 for some burgers, fries, drinks, and a mini slice of pie. We ate dinner at our hotel, ate the same things, minus pie, our total was around 18.00.

* If staying at a disney resort, use those disney extra hours to your advantage! this means the park will open an hour early or stay open up to 3 hours later, and only for disney guests! if opening early, go straight to those kiddie rides, the thrill rides weren't to bad waiting, plus there's fast pasts for them, but those kiddie ride lines get long fast!!!!

i have more tips and tricks, but this post is getting really long so if you want to know more let me know and i'll e mail them to you! Hope you have a magical day!!!

PS... lines are not bad at all in may, but the weather was in the 90s... like 95 degrees!!! HOT!

Movies Galore

Holy Crap. Sometimes i have to take a step back and look at our collection. Funny things is that we can never find anything to watch. We have many movies, this is true, it's our love. We did meet working at a movie theater ;) We changed our closets in our 2 guest room to hold all our movies. Yes, they are in catorgories too! comedy, drama, halloween, christmas, kids, stand up, disney, action, anime, and one whole closet for seasons.
We have 2 boxes like this filled with movies, we just don't have any more space.. we should stop buying yeah? no way!!! They even take up my desk area!!

Utah...You Big Tease

Wasn't today perfect? Sunny with a slight breeze! It was so nice, to bad i had to admire it from inside a building all day. Of course the days that i work are always the nicest days, and the days i have off are rainy and cold. But don't get your hopes up to high.. utah weather is not friendly, likes to get your hopes up for nice days, and the next thing you know its snowing. very lame
Heres some pictures from red butte, one of my favorite places, minus the snakes
