Shorts Saturday ~ My First Memory

Welcome Blog Hoppers to My "Shorts Saturday" Blog Hop for the week of January 25, 2014.
Every week, I host this link up blog hop to share a short and sweet version of our Disney love as we answer Disney related questions.
I'd love for you to grab the button and link up your post! We all love comments, so half the fun is visiting each other's blogs and commenting on their thoughts.
Our short and sweets  prompt this week is "My Earliest Disney Memory in less than 100 words."
Walking and skipping across Target's parking lot, deep in conversation, "So it's something we need? Is it oxygen?" "No. It's a video. I'm not telling you what it is in case they don't have it." Our first video? For our brand new VCR??? I remember playing that VHS to death, taking breaks from Legend of Zelda to learn how to shove my finger into the holes to  rewind the tape until eventually it became so mangled that we replaced it ($24.95 in 1990). I still remember every lyric and scene still in love with my first home video, The Little Mermaid.
Totally worth it.
Twice.

    Yikes! That's a lot of money. I think I have TWO copies of The Little Mermaid on VHS. Now what to do with them?? They've been replaced with DVD and now BluRay.

Disney Cruise Line 101 ~ What Not To Wear

Image
Although Disney lists limits on dress (no swimwear in the dining rooms, etc.) here on their website, what exactly do people "normally" wear?   I've got you covered. Formal, Semi-Formal, Cruise Casual, Optional Dress Up, or Pirate will be noted as the evening attire on the front corner of your Personal Navigator each day. So let's break those down Formal These evenings, most guests seem to go with somewhere in the range of "Sunday Best" to cocktail dress. Some opt for tuxes and ball gowns (when else can you really wear one?) Jackets, although requested on the website, seem pretty rare. Dark slacks and a button down are more common.  Rocking the sweater vests and tiaras. The little princesses often choose a favorite costume from their wardrobe (yes, leftover Halloween costumes, tiaras and fairy wings are welcome) while the boys range from tiny suits to khakis and sweater vests and full length jeans are not unheard of in the elementary set. ...
