The 30 Day Disney Challenge!

So apparently it is the thing to do these days in the Disney blogging world...So I'm jumping on this band wagon and starting off today!

Day #1: Your favorite character

They had to start off with a tough one eh? After little to no consideration (because I didn't need any because it is quite obvious), my favourite Disney character is

One possible reason I love said donkey so much is that he holds an odd resemblance to another favourite creature of mine:

I wiki-ed Eeyore to see if they had another interesting to say about the fellow and I learned so much in the first two sentences that I quit reading it. Here it is:

Eeyore is generally characterized as a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, anhedonic, old grey stuffed donkey who is a friend of the title character, Winnie-the-Pooh.

His name is a representation of the onomatopoeic phrase "hee-haw," which refers to thebraying sound made by a normal donkey, written in the Cockney dialect, which is characterised by h dropping in addition to the usual British r dropping.

I never knew all that letter dropping business before! The reason I love Eeyore however, is because he's this big cuddly creature who has those original 'puss-in-boot' eyes and you can't help but want to hug him tight and make him feel better! The poor guy has been having a series of bad days since 1926! I'd be a little pessimistic and anhedonic too if my house fell down for 85 years! He's a truly lovable, cute, friendly, caring grey donkey, and I love him! My favourite Disney character: EEYORE!

Who is your favourite Disney character?

It's a preview of the new parade with ALL NEW FLOATS and it looks incredible!! Disney has been recycling a lot of its floats in recent years but this parade looks like it's going to be absolutely amazing!

Honestly, just watch it!!

Other big Disney News!! Found on the same website I just linked, is the grand opening dates of The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure (, Star Tours: The Adventure Continues and of course the Soundsational Parade which debuts Memorial Day weekend!! They haven't yet said the opening dates for Goofy's Sky School or the Paradise Garden Dining Area, but they're both suppose to open this spring as well!! Such incredible things happening in California these days, and some huge changes coming up for Disney World as well...mainly the new FANTASYLAND!

If you are a Disney nut like me you should definitely be reading WWW.MICEAGE.COM It's the best resource for getting your Disney fill, as well as they have some great discussion boards and everyone on there seems to have the inside scoop on everything!! Check it out!

Other than that, I've had a pretty chill day, had an interview for Sonora Resort this morning, ran some chores with my favourite pug

Cheers!
