I Saw the Mickey Mouse Club.

When I was younger, I think I was 12 maybe, my family went to Disney World and stayed at Port Orleans. I still remember going down the serpent water slide with my sister right behind me. One of the things we did was seeing The Mickey Mouse Club or The MMC. I remember talking to a very young Britney Spears, well she was my age. My sister and I both touched Justin Timberlake and I remember how cool we both thought that was even back then. There were all of those other kids that became famous when they were older too. I thought they were famous back then, but nowhere near as much as they are now.

It was Guest Day on The MMC. The guest was Tatyana Ali from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I remember how excited I was to get to see The MMC, the taping took a few hours and it was fun to see how the TV show worked. I still remember when they showed my sister and I shaking hands or high-fiving Justin Timberlake on TV. I was wearing my Lion King T-shirt. We used to have it on a video tape, which I am sure was taped over by an episode of Days of our Lives or something equally useless now. I scoured YouTube and watched the opening of the MMC elevenity billion times hoping for the video on You Tube. Unfortunately, the episode of the MMC with Tatyana Ali was not You Tube worthy. So, I couldn’t find it. I searched for hours, because I thought it would be cool to share with you all. I do have some pictures of the outsides. You weren’t allowed to take pictures while they were filming.

Have you ever seen a taping of a show? If so what one? I have always wanted to sit in Judge Judy’s courtroom but not as a plaintiff or a defendant though.

We are going to Disney World!

We are heading to Disney World in July. I am so excited to be able to take Noah for his first trip. I have very fond memories of going when I was little and I am happy to be able to share this wonderful opportunity with him. I am sure it is often a concern of parents about the cost of tickets to Disney World. If you have a big family it can be expensive. I sometimes find that planning a trip can be really stressful too. The smart thing to do would be to check out Disney World Packages for your trip. That way you save when it is all bundled up together. Usually there are great discounts if you just do a package deal. Not to mention you don’t have to worry about paying for everything separately. That is the easiest way to forget to but something. It would be awful to get to Orlando and realize you forgot to book a part of your trip. The deal seeker in me always wants to get a great deal and that includes tickets to Disney World. I think with a little investigating you can find some great savings on your trip to Disney World.

We are really looking forward to our trip and I have been telling Noah about all the characters we will see. I am not too sure how he will act around the characters so if it upsets him we will have to avoid them all together. I am hoping that will not be an issue because I used to love to meet the characters. I think it is an important part of the Disney World experience. It definitely brings it to life. I still enjoy looking at pictures of my sister and me with different characters. We have some great family pictures of us with Dopey, Princess Jasmine, and Winnie the Pooh. I will be sure to share the details and memories with you all after we take our trip.
