Disney Sisters: May 2015

Tomorrowland: A Thrilling Journey to the Future

Imagine a place where anything is possible. 
Then imagine if all it took to get you there was with the touch of a pin. 

Welcome to Tomorrowland.


This is a movie for dreamers. This is a movie for creatives. This is a movie for those with a big imagination and even bigger ideas. The is the perfect Disney movie as it celebrates the values that were at the core of Mr. Walt Disney himself. Tomorrowland is a movie that inspires you to be innovative and ask the question, what if?

What if you could change the world?



“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” - Albert Einstein

A classic family film with the perfect blend of action, adventure, sci-fi, and mystery. It has that old nostalgic feeling of vintage Disneyland in select points of the film. Pay close attention to the 'it's a small world" scene, which is especially exciting for us Disneyland freaks! You will probably feel slightly different when you ride the classic attraction from now on. The younger actors in this film are fantastic and George Clooney has the all the charm that you'd expect from a middle aged burned out ex-dreamer who's given up on hope. LOL. But when paired together with a glass half full, think of the possibilities, teenager filled with curiosity Casey Newton, (Britt Robertson) they end up on an epic adventure to try and save the world and the future for all of mankind.

Click HERE to see another one of our favorite quotes from the film.

Even though this film is not about the Tomorrowland at Disney Parks, we wanted to share the placard at Disneyland Park that quotes Walt Disney on opening day of Disneyland almost 60 years ago. This quote fits the overall theme of the movie nicely.


TOMORROWLAND
"A vista into a world of wondrous ideas, signifying man's achievements... a step into the future, with predictions of constructive things to come. Tomorrow offers new frontiers in science, adventure and ideas: the Atomic Age, the challenge of outer space, and the hope for a peaceful and united world."
- Walt Disney (July 17, 1955)

Tomorrowland: The Tale of Two Wolves

One of our favorite quotes from the new Disney movie Tomorrowland,great movie with an inspiring message. When daughter, Casey Newton (Britt Robertson) reminds her father Eddie Newton (Tim McGraw) about this old Indian Legend.

There are two wolves who are always fighting.
One is darkness and despair.
The other is light and hope.
The question is: which wolf wins?

The one you feed.




Happy Walt Wednesday.

Happy Wordless Wednesday.

The time is almost up for this year's Epcot's Flower and Garden Festival, as the Walt Disney World Resort bids farewell to Spring and welcomes in the Coolest Summer Ever! Before it goes, we wanted to share some of our sightings at this year's International Festival! Epcot is by far one of our favorite Disney Parks. The gorgeous sights, delightful sounds, and fresh flavors, this event is a great way to experience Disney Magic in a unique way. Of course we are always sad to see the Flower and Garden Festival go, but like all of our other favorite special events at Disney Parks, it will be back next year!

Here are some highlights not to be missed around Epcot's World Showcase:
Outdoor Kitchens with seasonal springtime treats like Pineapple Dole Whip, Frushi, and Sangria. 
Educational opportunities that teach how to bring spring at Epcot to your own garden
Magical topiaries (grown locally) featuring your favorite Disney Characters

Disney's Polynesian Village Resort or Disney's Polynesian Villas and Bungalows: WIN! WIN!

Want to figure out an easy and fun way to see if booking your next Walt Disney World vacation stay at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort or Disney's Polynesian Villas and Bungalows is right for you? We have created a little quiz that may help you to see if this is the right Walt Disney World Resort for you and your family!


Do you like to feel a tropical breeze blowing in your hair?
Do you like sipping fruity drinks with a tiny umbrella at the top?
Do you think a flower lei is the perfect way to accessorize an ensemble?
Are you a fan of Tiki culture?
Is your favorite dance The Hula?
Are you a Dole Whip afficiando?
Is Lilo and Stitch your favorite Disney movie?
Do you wish you lived on an island?
Are pineapples your favorite fruit?
Do you know who Trader Sam is?

If you answered yes to most or all of these questions, then we think Disney's Polynesian Villas and Bungalows or Disney's Polynesian Village Resort are probably the perfect fit for you!


Opening in 1971, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort was one of the original Walt Disney World resorts. Once you've visited this tropical paradise, you'll see why it remains one of Disney's most popular resorts. One look around and it's not hard to see why. We got to visit the Resort on a recent Press Trip and fell in love with the beautiful tropical scenery. The Polynesian has recently been re-imagined with special touches like Trader Sam's Grog Grotto, redesigned Lava Pool with Kiki Tiki Splash Play area, Pineapple Lanai serving Dole-Whips, Lilo's Playhouse for the kiddies, and more! Can you say PAR-A-DISE?












Maybe even more exciting is a transformation that has been taking place just steps away.

Disney's Polynesian Villas and Bungalows have just opened up, (their first phase) sending Disney Vacationers (totally just made that up) in a frenzy to book a stay at one of these unique accommodations. Most stunning, in our opinion are the Bora Bora Bungalows. Each of these 20 over-the-water are two bedroom, two bathroom that sleeps eight. They include amenities a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and a private plunge pool on the back deck with views of Magic Kingdom Resort area. In other words you definitely want to check them out!






If you are ready to start planning (and saving) for your next Disney Vacation, why not try creating your own Disney Vacation Account. It's Disney's way of helping you create a budget, make a plan, track your progress, and finally book your trip! (Maybe even to Disney's Polynesian, hmmm???)
