Disneydisneydisneydisney...

It's currently 2:24 pm and I'm taking a break from reading Living Dead In Dallas drinking obscene amounts of Mountain Dew googling international real estate work.  It's been rough.  Since 8:30 am, we've had about 6 people come through our doors.  Most Mondays we get around 4, just to give you an idea of how cah-ray-zy busy the beginning of the week is. *Insert eye rolling here*  I'm honestly not even sure why we bother to be open...


In other news, Ryan and I have finally booked our HONEYMOON!!  After 3 months of marriage, we finally realized that if we didn't just set dates and go, we'd never get one--it would just wind up being a vacation, not a HONEYMOON.  (Yes, it's in caps because it's Special. So there.)  Drumroll please........we're going to Disney World for 10 days at Christmas!!!!!  How cool is THAT?!?!!  We were mulling over destinations in over dinner (hot dogs over the fire!) last week, and said, "Well...why not Disney?" 

I immediately began researching every aspect of the holidays at Disney, where we wanted to stay, etc.  I knew that I was insistent on staying at an actual Disney resort for several reasons.  A) If you're gonna do Disney, you want to get the most for your money.  By staying at a Disney resort, you get free shuttle services to all the parks, plus, each day of the week one of the parks opens an hour early just for Disney resort patrons.  (SOLD!)  B) It's our honeymoon.  If there's ever a time to splurge, do it on your honeymoon, right?  That seems a good time to do so.  C) I freaking love Disney.  If you know me at all, you know that I know every line to every song from every movie.  Seriously.

So, we've booked a one bedroom suite(!!!) at Disney's Old Key West resort from Dec 17-26.  (We're having a Disney Christmas!!)  After reading all sorts of reviews and spending many hours online doing research, I picked the OKW resort because, frankly, it has the biggest rooms.  It is also the first of Disney's resorts (and, duh, the oldest) but has gone through a massive remodel this past year to update all rooms/suites/villas.  See video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lclTv0fWv6w   (Someday, someone will teach me how to embed links...)  Or, you can just echo my excitement by looking at the floorplan below!:

Also, this means that we will finally be able to embrace our inner-wizards and check out Hogwarts at Universal Studios.  Score!!  I'm going to drink Butterbeer til....til...til I can't drink it anymore.  (Then I'll probably want a nap.)  And I'm totes gonna wear an eyeliner scar on my forehead for the day.  You just wait for the photos--those are gonna be priceless!

So that's the news in my world.  I sit around, plotting how to convince Ryan to wear the bride and groom Micky-and Minnie hats with me...  You know, just another Monday.  :)

OK, excellent. Now.

That sounds like the best honeymoon/vacation plan EVER!! I am a huge Disney fan also, so it obviously runs in the DNA. Matt had never been to Disney before we got married, isn't that tragic? So I'm thinking that in about 10 years when we both have kids and they are old enough to not be punks, we need to plan a joint vacay for our families.

How to Embed a Link: highlight the word(s) that you want to be able to click on. Then click on the blue "Link" button at the top of your blog editor (to the left of the picture icon you click on to upload a pic). Then copy/paste the URL into that box!! Easy peasy.
