Are we there yet......Part 2

In an earlier post I wrote about must have items to entertain children in long car rides. This is part 2 of the post. I never leave home without my "bag of tricks". These below are the other items I must have.

I know what you are thinking. Play-Doh, really?? Yes! Yes, my friend, it can save the day! I have a car seat tray that my toddler uses for various things. I bought the tray at our local super store for $15. I have to say, it was the best $15 I have ever spent. Play-Doh can break up the day. It is fun, and helps small motor skills. Also, it is a neat, different car distraction.

This is the obvious one. DVD player and lots of DVDs. We would not even attempt any car ride without this little beauty.

I have to say, I'm not sure a green worm every sounded so good. This little gem will read the book out loud to your child. Built into the software, are games to play. These fun books are very easy for small hands to use.

Now you know my car ride secrets. I do suggest trying them. It just might save your sanity!!

Happy Birthday Mickey!

Did you know today is Mickey's Birthday? Although his personality has evolved and changed over the years, kids' and families' love for Mickey has remained as popular as ever. From being the mischievous and adventurous troublemaker when he was first created, to a lovable, cheerful hero, Mickey has always been known as a universal symbol of friendship and family values. Walt, on his first television show as he surveyed Disneyland said, "I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing... that it was all started by a Mouse." This famous Mickey Mouse, made his screen debut on November 18 several decades back as the star of the first sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie, and has, since then, become an indelible icon. He is not only the personification of everything Disney, but also one of the most universal symbols of magical childhood memories for kids across the world. "Mickey is the world's most lovable mouse who epitomizes all that makes Disney special...

The Disney Dream-- A Grand Enterance

I will have to say that my words and pictures will not even give you and idea of how grand this ship is. To be able to smell the newness of this ship is indescribable. So see the grand lobby, the larger than my house chandler, the character carvings in the stair cases, and the beautiful colors, is even overwhelming to me. I have to set the scene for you. We are in the Disney Cruise Terminal, waiting for our assigned letter to be called. As we wait we are greeted by (I will blog about character experiences later) Minnie, Mickey and Goofy. Finally, it is our time to get on this grand ship. We walk up the glass walk way and we hear "The Disney Dream would like to welcome Classic Travel Connection". We all squeal like little girls, and we are here. We are on the newest and best ship in the travel industry. Oh, it is good to be the Zip-a-dee-doo-dah Diva. I love my job!!!
