Most Magical Day of the Year

It's the most magical day of the year!!!  Disney celebrates the unofficial start of summer with it's 24 hour events!  While we're not at Walt Disney World's Coolest Summer Ever event, or at Disneyland's 60th Anniversary Kickoff, I still feel like I'm part of the magic.

I've been living vicariously through posts on Facebook and Instagram.  A few of my travel agent friends from Key to the World are at both parks, so I'm enjoying their posts!  I'm also following a lot of people at the parks on Instagram!

Last night, I watched the Disneyland live feed from the Disney Parks Blog.  The Paint the Night Parade was beautiful!  The Disneyland Forever fireworks show looked stunning.  There was so much to look at that I had to keep switching camera views; but it looked absolutely breathtaking!  I really can't wait to see everything in person!

Of course, Disneyland's 60th anniversary diamond celebration merchandise has officially been released.  (My wallet is currently in hiding from fear.)  The merchandise is amazing.  I've always been a sucker for the blue and silver combination!  Eliot's family is at Disneyland today and Eliot already had his parents pick a few things up for us.  (Although, he won't tell me what... it's going to be a surprise.)  We're probably going to have a list by the time we go to California this fall.  Time to start saving!  I'm also loving the special diamond anniversary sweets, popcorn buckets, and cups!  I'm definitely getting a Minnie Mouse candy apple while I'm there!  Aren't they adorable?

Finally, Eliot and I are planning to go see Tomorrowland later on tonight.  I've heard it's a great movie and I can't wait to see for myself!

I'm a little bit disappointed that we're not at Disney today, but we're definitely there in spirit.  I've basically had my own 24 hour at home celebration anyways- from watching the live feed last night to watching Tomorrowland tonight.  Someday, we'll be there in person for one.  After all, I'm adding it to my Disney Bucket List.  °o°

Fun Find: Coolest Summer Ever

As most of you have probably heard, Disney has made a ton of announcements over the past few days.  (Frozen 2 is coming!  Yippee!!!)  I'm pretty excited about all Disney has in store for us.  But there was one announcement that really stuck out to me! Wednesday, Disney announced the "Coolest Summer Ever" at Walt Disney World!

The kickoff to summer starts with a 24 Hour Event over Memorial Day weekend. Guests can enjoy 24 straight hours of nonstop Disney fun at the Magic Kingdom from 6 am May 22nd to 6 am May 23rd.  Of course, guests are encouraged to show their Disney Side by dressing up as their favorite Disney characters!  This sounds like so much fun.  Going to one of these 24 hour events is definitely on my Disney Bucket List!

Of course, it wouldn't be the "coolest" summer ever without a little snow and ice from our favorite frosty film!  "Frozen Summer Fun" returns to Hollywood Studios from June 17th to September 7th.  Park guests will be able to see Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf! This doesn't surprise me considering the continuing popularity of Frozen.  I hope they extend it to the end of September so Eliot and I might get a chance to see it!  And make Olaf a meetable character!!!  Pretty please!!!

The "coolest" (he he... I'm punny) part of the announcement for me, was that it took place in Boston!  Good Morning America brought a little bit of hope for summer to Boston of all places!  It's been a rough winter in New England, so it's nice to bring us some Disney magic!  To make the announcement, they created a 20 foot wide summer scene complete with sand, sun, a beach chair, beach balls and an umbrella!  There's even a Cinderella (sand) Castle!!!  Of course, summer isn't complete without our favorite summer loving snowman!  Olaf helped make the announcement as the official host of the "Coolest Summer Ever".

Faneuil Hall was one of my favorites when I lived in Boston.  It's still one of my favorite places to go when we visit.  The historic atmosphere is awesome and the food at Quincy Market is amazing.  I just wish I'd been able to go see the sandcastle!

It's looking like Walt Disney World is going to be a fun place this summer!  Click here for more information about the Coolest Summer Ever.  Planning to attend one of these events?  You can always contact your friendly Key to the World travel agent, me!  °o°
