7 Random Facts

These blog awards always seem to ask for random facts, and I find it hard to think of them and not repeat so I'm going to go with a theme here and have all my facts relate to the one fact that I went to the Disneyland resort yesterday (and had a fab time!)  

1. I have a Disney Resort annual pass that expires next August (sad face)

2. At the moment my favorite ride is the Tower of Terror in Disney's California Adventure.  

3. I came across the Mary Poppins and Bert characters and took a picture with them - they had me link arms with them and made it look like we were taking a casual stroll through the park.  Love it!

4. I went to the Animation Academy class for the first time and drew Pluto (they have a "class" every hour for different characters.)

5. I waited in the hot sun for more than an hour to see the Endeavor space shuttle fly over Disneyland but it was worth it!

6. I like to collect Little Mermaid memorabilia and can never leave the resort without looking for new items to spend more money on!

7. I bought this cute Ariel mini-hat yesterday.  I'll probably only wear it around the resort though. WORTH IT.
