Disney Ft. Wilderness

Posted on February 10, 2009 by JMarsden| 1 Comment

As a child I grew up liking the lifestyle of staying at Disney on “Key To The World.” All the benefits, and perks that you can imagine. Eventually either cost, or availability of the “Key To The World” made it so that we no longer got that when my family went.

After moving out of my parents house I met my wife, and I decided that I wanted to take her to Disney, as she had never been there. We initially went, and stayed at Ft. Wilderness in a tent. We had all of the amenities… TV, Refrigerator, Air Matresses, and more. Camping… Doesn’t have to just be in a tent roughing it.

I was a little out of my element, but I dealt with it. My wife, and I were in for a rough stay. We dealt with downpours of rain, a tent that ripped, and my wife had to deal with her new friends “The Armadillos.” They would constantly follow her, and bother her. She was a little spooked by them initially, but she got used to it, and now we all joke about it.

Cheap Disney Memories/Souveniers

Posted on February 10, 2009 by JMarsden| 2 Comments

When most people visit Disney World, or DisneyLand, or any Disney Theme Park they bring along an autograph book. While autograph books are nice, I have actually put a little spin on that. While we vacation at the parks I look for the ultimate character photo opportunity. Finding characters by themselves, and in a good pose is a hard thing to do, but it can be done.

After I get the photos I will do any edits, or cropping to get the perfect print. I print the photos with our Kodak Easyshare Printer. When we get to Disney my daughter simply has the character sign the photo with a marker. While most children remember which character signature is which, some don’t. This is also a nice thing to do for children that are very young, and also to give as souveniers to children that may not have gotten to go to Disney.

Sounds a little cheap, but between the ink, paper, and the time to get the signature it really isn’t. Other items we have had signed are: hats, shirts, and other items. If you need some good photos of the characters, then let me know, and I can help out.

The best one we had done was a Disney Vacation Club baseball hat that was signed by @10 assorted Disney characters while we were on the Disney Cruise.

Humorous Disney Video

Here is a video that I just had to put up for everyone. I know it is quite old, but funny.
It was on MadTV, and you all should know by now that they can put a spin on just about anything.
