Reasons I Love Disney A-Z..."B"

"B"
Briar Rose - Yesterday I told you all that Sleeping Beauty is my favorite classic Disney movie and Princess. Of course, Briar Rose is what the fairies called Aurora while they were living in the enchanted forest while she was growing up.
Belle (Beauty & The Beast) - Another movie I remember from Ashley's childhood. The music was beautiful, Belle was beautiful and smart and the story was wonderful. What's not to love?  I am really looking forward to Beauty and the Beast - Live On Stage at Hollywood Studios.
Buzz Lightyear - Toy Story was a favorite movie of Dakota's growing up. We have watched it hundreds of times. Buzz was one of the "Must Meet" characters on our last trip to Disney. And we loved the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, it will be on our "to do list" again this time.
Baloo & Bagheera - I love the movie Jungle Book!  It's such a classic!!  The music is awesome, and characters are great! 
Beaches & Cream - I am really looking forward to a sundae, probably not the famous kitchen sink (way too much for me to eat alone)!  Dakota will be looking for a chocolate shake, his absolute favorite.
Bakeries - Don't you love the smell of fresh baked pastries, cinnamon rolls, eclairs, cupcakes, brownies, ect.  You have the Main Street Bakery, Boardwalk Bakery, Starring Rolls Bakery, Kringla Bakeri og Kafe, and of course Boulangerie Patisserie.
B.E.N. (Treasure Planet) - Dakota & I just watched this movie over the weekend. It's such a great movie! B.E.N. is a wonderful character too!  Disney does have some great movies without princesses too!!
Blizzard Beach - One of the two water parks located at Disney World, Blizzard Beach is said to have been created by a freak snow storm which blanketed Florida. We are really looking forward to a day away from the "Big 4 Parks" and enjoying some time in the water, especially considering how hot Florida can be in July!!
Boo (Monster's Inc.) - She is such a cute little girl, and don't you love how she says "Mike Wazowski"!!  or how she calls Sully "Kitty". The Pixar films are winners with me too!!
Bruce The Shark (Finding Nemo) - Pixar does such a great job, their movies are entertaining to both kids and adults and Finding Nemo is no exception. Bruce was such a great character too, I love that he's going to "AA for fish"-how ironic is that. 
Bob (Mr. Incredible) & Buddy (Syndrome) - Another Pixar movie, I know, but I loved The Incredibles too!  And when I found out that Jason Lee was the voice of Syndrome that made it even better (I'm a big My Name is Earl fan). 

Again, I am sure there will be more, I will add them as I remember.

A Lot Has Changed Since 2003...

Our one and only trip to Disney World was in January 2003. This past weekend as we were looking through the guide books and talking about our trip I got to thinking about all of the new movies Disney and Pixar have produced since then. There should really be a lot of new characters and things for us to see at Disney. First, you have to look at the Pixar movies, the best I can remember Toy Story was the only one that had come out at the time of our visit. We did get to see Buzz Lightyear, Dakota was a huge fan at the time, he was thrilled - but you never saw Woody.  I believe we get to see him around Magic Kingdom now with Jessie. I remember riding the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin where you get to shoot the lazer gun at the targets and save the world from Zurg. This time we get to check out Toy Story Mania at Hollywood Studios!  I understand it's really popular and a FastPass is a must!! Then there's Cars and Finding Nemo. We will have to go see "Finding Nemo-The Musical", and The Seas with Nemo and Friends, then Turtle Talk with Crush. Who doesn't love Crush?  Monster's Inc. is another family favorite, we will have to visit the Laugh Floor. Then there are the new Princesses, Tiana and Rapunzel. And my favorite of all Captain Jack Sparrow-Pirates of the Carribean. Too bad it's not really Johnny Depp!  We didn't ride the attraction in 2003. We just ran out of time, and now I'm kind of glad. We love the movies and Captain Jack. It's definitely on our "Must Do" list for this time around. I hear he may be making an appearance at the park again with the new movie coming out, maybe he will be there while we are there. It is rumored that he will be at the parks with Black Beard's Daughter from the new movie. Then you have the attractions not associated with a move like Soarin', Expedition Everest, American Idol Experience. Something tells me we aren't going to have enough time to do it all again this time. Looks like I will just have to start planning another Disney Vacation, but there won't be 8 years in between visits again.
