"Carry On"

by Olivia Holt

(From Disneynature BEARS)

There's always gonna be some canyon in the way.

There's always gonna be a river I cannot cross.

Somewhere along this path that's chosen me

I know I'm gonna fall down, feel lost, feel weak.

But wherever it leads.

No one said this would ever be easy, my love.

But I will be by your side when the impossible rises up. 

We will travel this life well-worn, 

No matter the cost, no matter how long. 

We will leave our footprints behind 

And carry on, carry on, carry on, and carry on. 

Some will write you off before you ever start.

Some will say the journey's just too hard. 

Somewhere between right here and the other side 

There will be fear and doubt in the deep dark night. 

But we will survive, yeah. 

No one said this would ever be easy, my love.

But I will be by your side when the impossible rises up. 

We will travel this life well-worn, 

No matter the cost, no matter how long. 

We will leave our footprint behind 

And carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on. 

We may fall behind,

Lose miles along this road. 

We will be alright, 

I will never let you go. 

No one said this would ever be easy, my love.

But I will be by your side when the impossible rises up. 

We will travel this life well-worn, 

No matter the cost, no matter how long. 

We will leave our footprints behind

And carry on, and carry on...

Full Disclosure: We were invited to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. The Disneyland Resort offered a discounted rate for all attendees and their families. This is a once in a lifetime experience and we are grateful to Disney for allowing us to participate. We'll be sharing unique things seen and heard throughout the Celebration. Please keep in mind these our own personal thoughts and opinions, not those of the Walt Disney Company.

DisneyNature Chimpanzee and other Monkey Business

Watch the jungle's most adorable orphan find a family ...

As Disneynature CHIMPANZEE is now released on Blu-ray Combo Pack.

The latest DisneyNature film is now available on DVD bringing the magic of the Animal Kingdom into our living rooms. This is the fourth documentary style film from them, this time they're following a group of chimpanzees through the African forest. Unfortunately we didn't see it in theaters, but we did get a copy to review - Yay!

 The inspiring film follows the True-Life Adventure of Oscar, a young chimpanzee whose curiosity and showcases the intelligence and ingenuity of some of the most extraordinary personalities in the animal kingdom. Bonus material includes a making-of documentary, the "Rise" music video from McClain Sisters. This film really showcases family bonding in a special way, and we're all about family films!

Some interesting facts about chimps that you may not know:

"At the turn of the 20th century, there were between 1 and 2 million chimps in the wild. Now there may be fewer than 300,000."

"Humans and chimpanzees share roughly 95 to 98 percent of the same DNA."

"Chimpanzees can develop lifelong family bonds, especially between mother and child."

We also really want to get the word out about "See Chimpanzee, Save Chimpanzees": 

To celebrate the in-home debut of “Chimpanzee,” Disneynature is proud to continue the “See ‘Chimpanzee,’ Save Chimpanzees” conservation program initiated with the film’s theatrical release. For every purchase of the movie through August 27, 2012, Disneynature will make a donation through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to conserve chimpanzee habitat, educate the next generation, and provide care for orphaned chimpanzees.

The conservation program tied to the theatrical release will help protect 129,236 acres (202 square miles) of wild chimpanzee habitat through infrastructure investments in the expanded Tchimpounga Nature Reserve in the Republic of Congo (Congo); educate 60,000 schoolchildren about chimpanzee conservation; and provide food and medicine for nearly all of the orphaned chimpanzees at JGI’s Tchimpounga chimpanzee sanctuary for at least the next year.

We took these special Chimpanzee photos during our trip to WDW. There was this awesome sand castle display in Epcot to promote the movie. We were thrilled to be able to see it in person, it was really cool!

You can get down to Monkey Business with this slideshow of photos that the crew took while working on location. Did you know that it took more than 700 days to film Chimpanzee?

Did you catch Chimpanzee in the theaters or are you planning on buying it on DVD? Have you seen any other DisneyNature films: African Cats, Oceans or Earth?

Elephants taking a bath on Kilimanjaro Safari at Animal Kingdom

We can think of nothing better than to frolic and play with our family on a hot summer's day, just like these elephants in Animal Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort! We snapped this photo while on an awesome Kilimanjaro Safari. Just look at how inviting that water is... Splish Splash Elephants taking a bath!

Happy (Disney) Wordless Wednesday! 

What activities have been keeping you cool this summer?

Puppy Love

"This is the night it's a beautiful night, and we call it Bella Notte. . ."

Love is the most powerful thing there is. No matter if it's the love shared between humans or animals. Love needs no words, just feelings. When it comes to the love between animals, we have our own little Lady and the Tramp in our family. Tracey's two dogs share what could arguably be called one of the greatest love stories of all time. She didn't get the pups together. They both came into her life at different times, but the bond they've created over the past few years is priceless. It's everything any of us could hope for in a true love, and lifelong companion. Meet "Grady and the Scamp" aka Grady and Junie and their obvious affection for one another is the stuff that Disney Animated films are made of. 

We call it Puppy Love.

Speaking of Puppy Love, we recently got our copy of the classic Lady and the Tramp and are falling in love with it all over again. And our kids are too! The animation, story line and songs still hold up for this generation. There's also many added bonuses in this Diamond edition combo pack from Diane Disney Miller called Remembering Dad, which is all about Walt. It's a great addition to our Disney movie collection.

Here is a video of two dogs re-enacting the famous spaghetti scene in Lady and the Tramp. It's pretty charming and we just had to share.
