Hello 2019. It feels like I've been waiting forever for you.
I say this every year, but I'm so excited for this year. Seriously though... this feels like a really brand new beginning. Not just the start of another year, but it's the start of my first full year of self-employment!!! I've got so many things I want to do, and this year, I might actually be able to tackle some of them! I think this is the beginning of something truly wonderful.
I'm picking up my tradition of posting my Disney goals. At the end of this year, I'll write a recap where I see what I accomplished. I've still never completed a full list, but I'm feeling good about making major progress this year. I've been making goal lists for about 10 years now. It's something that I genuinely look forward to. (Here are my past goal posts: 2014 goals, 2014 recap, 2015 goals, 2015 recap, 2016 goals, 2016 recap, 2017 goals.)
As you can see, I never did a 2017 recap, or even posted any of my 2018 goals. In early 2017, Happily Ever Hatter really took off and I haven't looked back since. For 2018, I had the same goals as 2017 and I didn't even look at the list except for the first few days of the year.
So this year, I'm going back to basics. I've already posted most of these but I'm going to again. Hopefully this will be the year that I can finally cross some of them off the list!!!
Bring it on 2019!!!

1.) Go to Walt Disney World- This is always my first goal of every new year. Walt Disney World is my happy place, and it's always a goal to go back!
2.) Go to Disneyland- Walt Disney World may be my home away from home, but Disneyland has stolen my heart. I absolutely can't wait to go back this year!
3.) Go on a Disney Cruise- Ever since we did our first cruise in the fall of 2016 I've been dying to go on another one. This time, we're doing a Christmas cruise! I can't wait!!!
4.) Do the Princess RunDisney Races- This is coming up WAY faster then it needs to. Eliot and I are signed up to do all of the races at Princess Half Marathon Weekend. We haven't been training due to all of the work getting Christmas mouse ear orders completed and being away for the holiday. Now, I'm cranking it into high gear!
5.) Attend the D23 Expo- I can't wait to go back to this! We went to the 2017 D23 Expo and it was so much fun. Eliot and I learned a lot that year, and we're looking forward to using that knowledge to get the most of this year's expo!
6.) Go the the Epcot Festival of the Arts- I've been dreaming of going to this ever since Disney announced it a few years ago. This is the third year of the festival and I made Eliot swear to me last year that we'd be going this year! And I'm happy to announce that we'll be there for opening day, one week from tomorrow!
7.) Go to Disney at Christmas Time- This is another goal that I always have. Disney is magical at the holidays. In 2017, I was blessed to go to both Walt Disney World and Disneyland during the holiday season. The decorations were incredible. This year, we're planning to see Walt Disney World while we're down for our Disney Cruise in December!
8.) Make Disney Decor for the Holidays- I love making customized holiday decor! I've got a list that's so long and keeps growing. I'd like to cross a few of those ideas off this year!
9.) Make Disney Accessories- I really enjoying creating accessories. This year, I'd like to use my new knowledge of sewing to make a few infinity scarves. I'd also like to work on some custom dresses, skirts, jewelry, hair accessories and handbags. (More on that below!)
10.) Have Disney Movie Nights- There are certain Disney movies I've seen over and over again. Others, I haven't seen in years. This year, I want to watch as many as I can. Not only do I enjoy them, but they give me inspiration for new product designs!
11.) Have Disney Board Game Nights- Eliot and I have so many board games. I love playing them. This year, I want to unpack them and break a few out to play!
12.) Disneybound/Themed Outfit Challenge- In the past, I've had a goal to wear 25 character or attraction Disneybound or themed outfits, and I'm going to do that again. Last year, I didn't get to Disneybound as much as I wanted to, so I'm going to focus more on that this year! I'd also like to incorporate more of my Disney clothes in everyday wear!
13.) Have a Disney Themed Party- I love throwing parties. This year, I'm hoping we'll get the house ready for our housewarming party! After living here for over three years, it's time.
14.) Take an Online Class- This is one of those goals that keeps getting rolled into the next year. I've been looking at online Storyboard, Watercolor or Handwriting classes. I've already enrolled myself into a self-study watercolor class. Now, I just need to make time to do it!
15.) Design an Imagineering Project- Eliot and I love brainstorming about new attractions, restaurants, stores, and hotel resorts. This year, I'd like to actually start doing some design work on a fantasy Imagineering project, even if it's just a small one!
16.) Read Disney Books- I have so many wonderful books. Santa also brought me a few new Disney books for Christmas! I'd really like to take some time to read through my Imagineering books. I also have art books, leadership books and more.
17.) Paint Disney Art- I have so many fun ideas! This year, I'd like to make a few pieces, especially since we're trying to get our house organized! I've got plans for artwork in our kitchen/living/dining room, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Hopefully, I'll have plenty of pictures of my artwork in our house to share by the end of 2019!
18.) Decorate House with Disney Touches- Eliot's and my main goal (besides business goals) of 2019 is to (finally!) get settled in our house. Along with the artwork and holiday decor, I'd like to add some little Disney touches throughout our house. We've bought a bunch of items to display, and I've also got a few more handmade designs in mind. Hopefully, we'll be able to get our house painted, everything unpacked and organized so I can work on this!
19.) Launch Clothing Line- As I stated above, I love making accessories. This year, I'm officially launching my clothing and accessory line! It's been a dream of mine for over three years now, and this year we're finally making it happen! Stay tuned for more information!
20.) Launch Home Decor Business- This year, Eliot and I are also launching our new home decor line. We've been talking about this for about a year now. We'll be gearing up for our launch sometime this spring! Stay tuned for more information on this business too!
That's quite the list, huh? Just like every year, I've certainly got my work cut out for me. But, like always, I am really excited about the possibilities! I'm going to make 2019's word of the year CONQUER. In the past, I've focused on creating, growth, blossoming, dreaming and imagination. This year, I'm trying to conquer all of these goals and more.
So let's do this 2019. Let this be the year that more of my dreams come true. °o°
