Main Street Memories 365 - Do you Pinterest?

Day 6
Do you Pinterest?

"It's kind of fun to do the impossible" -Walt Disney


So, do you Pinterest?

Actually, that's a great question? I have found that it is almost my second go-to search by, other than swagbucks, of course :)

Ok, so when you are on there, you can search for some fun items. Like this countdown calendar, and even a tutorial on how to make it.

Or the Oreos above.

or the water bottles! How cute are they? And these were intended for a birthday party, but what if these were in your backpack every time your kids wanted a drink!

The possibilities are endless!

So, as you are "trip planning", give Pinterest a shot, you may find a world of Magic on there!

And here's Brittney's board "It all Started with a Mouse"

and Susan's board "Disney = Happiness"

But, consider yourself warned. Pinterest can be addicting. Period. The end!

Main Street Memories 365- Baby Care Center and First Aid

Day 5

"If it’s not boroque, don’t fix it." – Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast



This is a tip, worth remembering.

Did you know:

In the First Aid center, you can ask for a complimentary band aid. But, in the gift shop, they are $2.35 for 2!


In the Baby Care Center, they have wipes and diapers for you to use "in an emergency"


In the First Aid center, you can ask for a Tylenol or Ibuprofen and they will give it to you (you have to sign to receive it) complimentary, but they are $$ in the gift shop!

In the Baby Care Center, they have a full assortment of snack and drinks available for you to purchase. In case you need a quick pick me up, or if you have a very picky-eater child, or if you just need to bypass the line, and grab a snack STAT!!!

In the Baby Care Center, they have a nice, private, quiet spot for nursing mothers only.


In the First Aid center, you can ask for an Elastic Wrap (Ace bandage) for your ailments, at no charge!

And, in the Baby Care Center, they have "non-automatic-flushing" potties......in case you have a little Pirate or Princess that is a little bit "scared" of potties that flush...while they still might be on it :)

Main Street Memories 365 - Electrical Water Pageant

Day 3 -

"Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming" ---Finding Nemo




Take a step back, to October 1971. The Electrical Water Pageant began with the dedication of Disney's Polynesian Resort.

Today, it continues to travel to each of the Magic Kingdom Resorts each night beginning at 9pm

If you are near any of these resorts, make your way to the beachfront, or if you are lucky enough to have a "Lake View" room, you can watch it from your balcony!

Typically, the pageant begins at Disney's Polynesian Resort at 9pm, then traveling to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa at 9:15pm. It then arrives at Disney's Wilderness Lodge by approx 9:35pm, over to Fort Wilderness, and then finishing up at Disney's Contemporary Resort around 10:05pm.

If the Magic Kingdom has Extra Magic hours or extended park hours, you can also spot the Electrical Water Pageant around 10:20pm

Again, it looks a little "old school" but it's very fun to watch and hear, as it travels thru the water!

Main Street Memories 365 - Princess Half Marathon

One of the best Girl Weekends by far, is Disney's Princess Half Marathon Weekend.

Princess come from near and far to set out on the roads of Walt Disney World for 13.1 miles of Royal Fun!

You will meet Princes and Princesses along the way, and maybe even a few villans.


So, grab a girlfriend, or 5, and come RunDisney!

You will NOT regret it!

A fun weekend is always on the agenda!!!!

And when you cross the finish line, and they place that Gold Tiara Medal around your neck....ahhhhh.....best feeling in the world!

Disney's Beach Club Resort

This is a brief overview of some of the amenities you can enjoy while staying at Disney's Beach Club Resort.

There are several different room options available, and so your room may not be exactly like this one, but this is a start!

The Deluxe Studio, in the Beach Club Villas contains one Queen bed and a sofa sleeper. Some people do not like the sofa sleeper option, but some do, because you can put the bed away in the morning and give yourself a little more living space.


The Deluxe Studios also feature a kitchenette.


The Marketplace is located in the Main Building, and is the home of your Quick Service Dining option.


It also contains the Drink Fountain for your Refillable Resort Mug.

They have a good selection of breakfast items for breakfast, then for lunch and dinner, they have soups, sandwiches, quesadillas, etc


They also keep a good selection of muffins and pastries throughout the day. These are a great quick inexpensive breakfast, or a good filling snack!


You can shop for some standard "grocery" items here also. Milk, bread, cereals, canned food, first aid, toiletries, etc.
Lots and lots and lots of Snack Options


And, then just across the way is the gift shop. So, if you need to grab some sunglasses, or a souvenir, you are right here!


**Ask about the Artist of the Day! Your child has the opportunity to color a picture, and then, quite possibly be featured as Artist of the Day! What fun!!
