Happy Birthday Mr. Mouse

Though there wasn't a gold dress available for an afternoon serenade, take a minute to wish the Big Cheese a wonderful 83rd Birthday!

A lot has happened since his initial debut in Steamboat Willie!

The Day of Dreams

11.11.11

The day of wishes and dreams come true. Close your eyes, and do as dreamers do, and all your wishes will come true!

Don't worry-- if you forgot to make a wish on this day of ultimate magic (bonus points if you took a minute at 11:11 to do so!) We are lucky enough to have another "wish day" coming up on 12.12.12.

You have a year to think about that perfect wish, so get that thinking cap on!

'Tis the Season

Baby Belle is dressed to match the new season ahead!

Sexy and I Know It

The boys take some time at my recent visit home for a little R&R. In the case of a massive spoon invasion, Dillon has taken it upon himself to take the first watch. And is still learning the necessity of personal boundaries. What a hero.

Faedan, on the other hand, is just happy to take time to preserve the "wiggle-wiggle-wiggle-wiggle-wiggle!"

Miss my little munchkins!

Mental Holiday

We all need a mini-vacation at some point or another, even if it is just a quick walk on the beach!

Are You Lonesome Tonight?

I am not sure where this bookmark came from, but somehow one of the managers, Cliff, received this gem, passed it to Amanda, passed it to Kristin, and it is currently in my possession.

Personal favorite is #1, although #6 is up there too. Maybe I can write a no-brainer book as well to make some extra cash!

Walk Like an Egyptian

Outside the Mummy ride at Universal, you can't pose with characters. You can, however, pose with shirtless and muscular men. Darn.

The Tale of Georg and Pierce

Meet Meg and my little creation of Georg, personified by the most germ-infested place on Disney property: the Lego Store at Downtown Disney! Now if only we could find PIEEEERCE!

Matthew Morrison Tuesdays-- I mean Glee

Tuesday nights marks the return of Matthew Morrison visiting my apartment. Happy days are here again!

This bad boy was found in Kristin and Naomi's Cosmo magazine one morning. If this were a real DVD, every woman in America would be buying multiple copies. Multiple.

Fabulous!

Haunted Mansion...Alive and Well

While searching for a non-existent store (we actually did find it in the end, but it was down several blocks), Kristin and I came across this beauty in the parking lot.

Oh Disney cast members...we don't grasp the meaning of "subtle" yet, do we?

Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog

This little guy greeted me on the apartment stairs late one night. Though we have seen many a lizard on the walkway, I have not seen an amphibian, and have definitely not seen one this green. How cute is he?!

Let me Introduce You To My Party People

Meet my new cubicle buddy, Harry Elephante Jr. Though he comes from very far away (the far corners of the Farmer's Market) he has made a home in the corner of the cubbie.

Don't worry, Pierre. You are still the Dino of my heart!

T.G.I.F.

Kristin taking five

As the Youth Sales interns like to point out, R&R is always a necessity, especially on Fridays.

Too Much, Too Soon

The kitchen area is the metropolis of the third floor. It is the hallway that connects departments, and most importantly, the youth sales to the bathroom. In this kitchen sits four microwaves that all display different times, stacks of cups for the Starbucks coffee, empty creamer containers from Kristin's most important part of the morning, and the fridge teeming with overstuffed lunches.

On this fridge, perched just out of reach, standing proud and upright, is a romance novel circa 1980. I am not sure if it is sitting here because someone is too ashamed to claim the mullet-wearing woman on the cover, or if it is a joke, but it has found a home within the Celebration offices.

Too much...too soon. Move over, Jane Austen. Instant. Classic.

A Man and a Mouse

"I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing–

that it was all started by a mouse."

Magic Kingdom at Friday "Magic Hours"

Magic Kingdom: beautiful anytime of the night, whether by sunshine or streetlight!

Judy Garland: Walk the Walk

JUDY GARLAND WAS HERE! Kind of...

Though Judy was unfortunately not able to leave her mark outside of Hollywood Studio's Oriental Theatre (not to worry-- Liza did) she did leave behind the Ruby Slippers!

Does this count as a degrees of separation?

Ugly Ducklings

Swan Family in Downtown Orlando

The Mighty Cubicle Mascots

Pierre and Stuart, like their owners, always hard at work

Let me introduce you to Kristin and my personal muses. Meet Pierre and Stuart. We stumbled upon these adorable dinos as we were searching for additional writing instruments. When we opened past intern desks, we discovered these little guys and felt it necessary to rescue them from cruel abandonment.

We hurriedly transported them into our cubicles, where they now reside on our bordering wall, the constant communicators between us, as there is still a ban on indoor carrier pigeons.

Pierre and Stuart's main diet consists of Worther's and coffee, with Pierre preferring blackest black and Stuart wimping out and pouring countless Mini Moo creamers into his coffee.

All in all...welcome to the productivity that is Kristin and my morning "desk time."

Disney Motivation

There are so many random moments that I would love to share, but never sure quite the right context. That said, this marks the start of Disney "Photos of the Week." Enjoy!
