Anyone going to Disneyland soon to see the Main Street Electrical Parade? It has been at Disneyworld for many years now and has made its way back to Disneyland for a special run! We will be going twice while it's running, and the second time we are planning on doing the Blue Bayou dinner that includes reserved viewing. Super excited!

So I was doing a little shopping at our local mall and the candy store had real Kinder eggs!! Not Yowies or any of the off-brand kinder type eggs. These are real Kinder brand! They came at a steep price of $5/egg but I had to get a couple!! Wonder if this means they're going to be sold here more often? Or perhaps this store is breaking the rules?

So Rosierjay and I decided to do an "other collections" type swap. The whole idea started when I saw Rosier post that she was going to Japan in August. I had recently seen that Disney was releasing Tsum Tsum die cast cars in Japan, and I had to have the Marie one! (I collect all things Aristocats). So I asked Rosier if she would look for one for me while she was there, and it turned into a full blown swap from there!! Rosier spoiled me with tons of Aristocat merch that I love SO MUCH!! I want to go to Japan and buy more! Lol. I never knew these things existed!! So since this little car started the swap, it's only fair that it starts the brag!! This thing is so cute. I didn't realize how small it'd be. It's like a little hot wheels car!! And I love how her "luggage" is her two brothers!! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginOnto the rest of the box!! Rosier sent me some cute Marie mint candies! The actual mints are shaped like mickey heads. I opened one to try and the other will stay sealed for collection . I also got some lemon pocky to try and some cute little mini gums! They're strawberry flavored and delicious! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI also got some super cute stationary and stickers from Japan!! I especially love the doggies and the Cinderella ones are cool! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginThen I opened a little black plastic capsule that had this super cute little figure in it!! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginHere are a few items that I love! I am soooo in love with the Cheese pin. Like omg I love it so much!! It's hard to find merch with the boy kittens on it, and even harder to find merch without Marie on it!! I just love it. The scat cat pin is awesome!! I have a couple Marie disney pins and this will be an awesome addition!! There's also a cute little pencil and some washi tapes!! And some cool cloth type tapes!! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginA super cute Marie washcloth that had some items wrapped in it. And a washi tape I forgot to picture before!! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginNext was this cool Marie book. I think it's a sketchbook? The pages are totally blank and not lined. I especially like the inside cover because it has all three kittens!! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginThese are some super cute Marie chop sticks!!! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginThis is a super adorable little notebook with different pages!!

I'm pretty sure it's a duster...but it's shaped like Marie!! This is the new coolest piece of my collection! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginAnd last, but definitely not least!!, is this super cool Japanese Aristocats program. I don't read Japanese, but it seems like it may have been sold/given out when the movie premiered. The inside pages have Japanese writing and then the pages with song lyrics are in English. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginThank you so much for this amazing box Rosier!!

Hey all! If anyone has any unused Disney Movie Rewards codes that they won't be using, I would gladly take them off your hands! They are the codes on the little pieces of paper when you open pretty much any Disney dvd or bluray, or even the old vhs movies. They're also included in all the Marvel DVDs and blurays too. If you happen to have some that you wouldn't mind parting with, pm me! In other news...anyone else planning a trip to Disneyland? Fiancé and I are buying annual passes this time

In honor of Valentine's Day, I thought this would be fun! Share with everyone your love story! You can share how you met, proposal stories, those three words stories, wedding stories, etc! Just a fun way to share all of our sweet love stories!! Here's mine: My fiance and I met at the Phoenix Pride festival almost 6 years ago. I know....meeting at a pride festival usually only leads to short flings...but we clicked! We met on the first day of the festival, and decided to meet up again on the second day. After that, we started texting and visiting and just getting to know eachother. Two weeks later, she asked me to be her girlfriend and we've been together since! As for the proposal: my fiance is rather shy and doesn't like big public displays so I knew it would never be out in the middle of random people lol. She went and made a super cute bear at build a bear, got a tag engraved that said "Will you marry me" on it, and strung the tag and ring around a ribbon and tied it on the bear's neck. I had always said I wanted it to happen on a random day so I would be surprised....so lo and behold one random day I am gifted the bear and what he wore around his neck! I was definitely surprised and so happy!! Now...since we are both women, I thought it was only fair that my fiance get her ring in a special way as well. As we were planning a Disneyland trip for Dec 2014, I thought it would be the perfect time! We both love disney and are planning a disney wedding! I snuck the ring with me in my backpack the entire day until we got to the Animation Studio in California Adventure. The Animation Studio has a special meaning to us, so I knew that is where I wanted to give her the ring. Once we got in there, I pulled her to one of the couches and told her to sit down. At first she didn't want to because she was worried we would miss Turtle Talk with Crush, but she soon realized why! She loved the ring and loved getting it at Disneyland!! Now tell me your stories!!
