In case you missed the last couple posts, Disney (Part 1) and Disney (Part 2), I’m continuing our Disney trip with some more crappy pics.
Day 3 – Hollywood Studios
As you know, Frozen is all the rage right now, and nowhere in Disney is that more apparent than Hollywood Studios.
First we had to see the Frozen sing-a-long musical…which was AWESOME!

Then we moved like cattle to a building that contained EVERYTHING and ANYTHING Frozen. Though I couldn’t find the feminine product line- a bloated Elsa on the box, with sled shaped pads and tampons dangling from her castle like icicles.
Ana swore she had to have this t-shirt-
I swore I would NOT pay this price-
so we distracted her with something shiny and free. Snow.
Welcome to Wandering Oaken’s Frozen Snowground, where it’s always 40 degrees, and you delightfully slip and slide on recycled slush while wearing shorts.
Brian screaming over “Do You Want to Build a Snowman”: Oh my god, how long do we have to stay here?
Collin: Can we go?
me: It’s timed, so I think 5 minutes maybe?
Collin: Can we go?
me to cast member: How long do they play in that cold stuff?
Collin: Can we go?
cast member: 15 minutes.
me: oh..no..no..no..no…. (my visible breath swirling into the shape of a dagger before plunging into my heart)
Collin: MOM! That little girl just hit me in the face with an iceball!
Who knew Hell would be so cold?
Day 4 – Blizzard Beach
Sadly, this was the only photo I was able to take all day because I had to leave my phone in the locker. But if I did have my camera, this is what I would have captured…
1. Brian losing our locker key in the Lazy River. He spent a half hour with security, breaking into our locker and relocating our belongings.
2. Brian then losing our Disney Gift Card (which we had just loaded with money) on Runoff Rapids. They had to close the ride and call a diver in to retrieve it. Thankfully, the ride was configured in such a way that those waiting in line at the top were unable to see why it was stopped. “I wouldn’t volunteer you’re the reason.” was the advice given to us by the attendant.
3. Me and my mother-in-law ordering a drink from the bar at 2 pm because it had already been a long day.
Trick or Treating in Celebration, FL
Ah, Celebration, Fl, the idyllic little town that Disney built.
Judging by the small number of homes with lights on, it seems that most of these residences are used as vacation homes. But the ones that did give out candy went fantastically overboard!
Our little Elsa, even found an Anna and Kristoff!
But here’s the weird thing…see that gate on their front porch? Almost all of the homes had them, like they were keeping us “out-of-towners” at a safe distance, off their porches and away from their breakables.
For a moment, I considered I might be paranoid, but then we came upon “jail house” where they pointed rifles and threw candy at us over a barbed wire fence.
Something tells me this was a multifaceted design choice.
