Ho Hum and HO HO HO...it is getting closer to Christmas. I was the face painter at MouseFest this year and had a great time. I met lots of fun people from Minnesota, California and other parts of the country. I sat next to the Destinationsinflorida.com travel group and really enjoyed talking with them. They certainly know the travel business and are very well versed in Disney and Universal activities and packages. If you are planning travel or a cruise, this is the website I would visit.
I wore my Gold Sequined Mickey Ears and had everyone asking where they could get some like them. They are designed for Mickey's 50 but would make a great statement for New Year's eve.

Wow, what a day, snowing in Detroit and I am anxious to get home. This weke-end is Mousefest at Disney. If you haven't been there and are a Disney Fan, you should plan to go. It is held each year and is a fun time for died in the wool Disney fans. And if you like Disney you will love the eBay store at: http://stores.ebay.com/Magical-Mouse-Books-and-More Great fun collectibles, some great Christmas presents for the younguns and guides to Disney. Couldn't ask for more.
It sure beat the snow in Detroit...it is definately boot weather...also hats, coats, scarves and any other item to maintain warmth.
I found this great poem online today and since it is written by anonymous, thought I would share it....
The Train of LifeBy Anonymous Some folks ride the train of life Looking out the rear, Watching miles of life roll by, And marking every year. They sit in sad remembrance, Of wasted days gone by,And curse their life for what it was, And hang their head and cry. But I don't concern myself with that, I took a different vent, I look forward to what life holds, And not what has been spent. So strap me to the engine, As securely as I can be, I want to be out in the front, To see what I can see. I want to feel the winds of change, Blowing in my face, I want to see what life unfolds, As I move from place to place. I want to see what's coming up, Not looking at the past, Life's too short for yesterdays, It moves along too fast. So if the ride gets bumpy, While you are looking back, Go up front, and you may find, Your life has jumped the track. It's all right to remember, That's part of history, But up front's where it's happening, There's so much mystery. The enjoyment of living, Is not where we have been, It's looking ever forward, To another year and ten. It's searching all the byways, Never should you refrain, For if you want to live your life, You've gotta drive the train. All Aboard Everybody...
My Dad would have loved this poem, an old railroad man..he knew how to drive the train.

OK, it is grey and dismal in Detroit but that is not a reason to be down. I found two great sites on ebay today. One sells Disney Stuff and the other has great outdoor items. Right now the outdoor items would be great in Michigan during the hunting season. The other site has guides to Disney and Universal and this is a great time of the year to visit the Orlando Parks. It is cooler so even if the lines are long, they are not unbearable and you know how quickly Disney moves us through the lines. What are the stores you are asking? http://stores.ebay.com/Gator-Outdoor-and-Travel and http://stores.ebay.com/Disney-and-Orlando-Vacations

If you are just looking for "fun Stuff" take a quick visit to my new ebay store at the http://stores.ebay.com/Eclectic doodah . Only a few items right now but it is going to have lots of fun unique items just for you.

So what keeps you motivated on down days like these? I try to visit all the travel sites and look for better weather.

Snow arrived today and I am on my way back to Florida. I enjoy looking at the large flakes of snow from inside the building...but am not wild about the cold wind. The leaves are almost gone from the trees and that makes for a pretty depressing environment. I see it in the workplace as employees seem to get more and more depressed. Must be time for an adventure to Florida. Go to find some tickets to the parks and take a trip to look at the holiday parades and decorations. This is a great time for a visit...beaches aren't crowded(no one from Florida ventures out when it gets Cold). Go to http://www.orlandotickets.storesecured.com to get your tickets before going to the park. If you want a great vacation package visit my favorite travel agency at http://www.destinationsinflorida.com. If you can visit us...keep us in your dreams

The holidaze are upon us and it is time to go to the Disney and Universal Parks in Orlando. This time of year the decorations come out and the parks become a fantasy of lights and beauty. Do you need a ticket before you get there..I certainly would recommend it and you can go to http://orlandotickets.storesecured.com to get them ahead of time. Avoid the lines...have fun at the parks. If you plan on staying I can recommend the best travel site out there for packages, lodging, guides, events etc. go to http://www.destinationsinflorida.com You will find the latest and greatest information on what is going on in the parks. WHOO HAH..it's time to get in the Spirit.

Wow, what has happened to the blogspots? I haven't been here for awhile but will get busy. Spent Halloween with the grandkids and had a great time. They both are great Disney/Universal fans but dressed as Lightening McQueen and Alice in Wonderland for the party. I went as the Grand Mummy.....will try to find a picture to attach.
