Measuring Up

Countdown To Disney:  10 Days

Well, with 10 days to go, I've been checking the height requirements for Splash Mountain and Soarin.  Both have a height requirement of 40 inches.  I have been trying to measure Hope to see if she will make it.  It is so close, I can't tell!  I think Disney will have to make the call.   
I pre-ordered Photopass+ for our trip.  Last year was the first time I splurged and bought it.  I was really happy I did.  The pre-purchase price is $149.00.  They send you a certificate to redeem at WDW for the Photopass+ card and also a code to order the photo CD when you return home.  In addition to having all the photos taken in the parks by Disney Photographers, you can also have all your ride photos added (where applicable).  Plus if you are eating at any meal that offers a photo package - like Chef Mickey's, those are included too - as well as the photos added to the card.!

Since I am the family photographer, I also enjoy being able to "be" in the pictures.
We have also begun our family Disney Movie Marathon.  I have read on other people's blogs how they watch their favorite Disney Movies before leaving for their trip.  I have never done it before but it seems like fun so I thought I would give it a try. 

One of our family's top favorite ride experience is Splash Mountain. 

Julia always asks about the characters - Brer Fox & Brer Rabbit.  I told her about the movie "Song of The South" and Uncle Remus.  I remember watching the movie as a child in theaters.   But since the movie is not available in the U.S., she has never seen it.  Well,  I managed to find a copy!  We watched it today.  She recognized not only the songs, but the characters and  scenes from Splash Mountain.   

As we spoke about the controversy of the movie it also brought up the topic of the Civil War.  So I know what our next history unit will be on.
