Day 924: Why the Watch?

I got a new watch not that long ago and realized just the other day that I don't think I ever actually blogged about this particular topic...despite the fact that the watch on my wrist really should remind me of it every single day, and you'll see why in just a minute.

Sometime this last semester, not long after our January trip, I found myself with a watch on my wrist. Previously I wasn't really the watch type, instead just checking my phone or computer or clock on the wall to indicate the time. Did I really need a watch? No, not technically. But did the watch remind me a little bit of Disney? It definitely did.

You see, while at Walt Disney World, you spend your time with a Magicband on your wrist, and eventually you just get used to it being there, right up to the point where when you finally return home, your wrist just feels like it's missing something. The easiest solution because the rest of the world has yet to understand the power of Magicbands? A watch!

Does it give you the ability to access a Disney park? No. Does it allow you to pay for your Starbucks with a simple tap and a PIN? Also no. But can it be Disney themed and make you feel a little bit better about life? Absolutely! This new watch, which I just got the other day, is from Hot Topic and features the characters of Peter Pan, which as I previously blogged about, seems to be making more appearances in my life every single day. My favorite part about this one though? It says "Never Grow Up" along the outside edges, always reminding me of the magic in our everyday lives and that sometimes it's alright to leave the Adult life behind...if only for just a few minutes. 

Have a magical day!

Day 717: Frozen Swag

Who doesn't love Disney themed shirts? I mean, really. A while back I posted about the shirts I got from Hot Topic, and here's another one for you. But first, a backstory.

A few weeks ago, during my last week at SNC, I headed to Walmart with one of my friends and happened to see a Christmas Disney Shirt. It had Mickey Mouse and was basically patterned to be a Disney Christmas Sweater, and I loved it. Of course, in that moment I didn't buy it because did I really need it? No. So I left without that new shirt.

And I really wish I had bought it.

I went back three days later only to find that the shirt had sold out. So I went to another Walmart. Sold out there too. I looked online. SOLD OUT. Which left me with a serious dilemma. I had already planned a day in for this Christmas or sweater theme and I basically had no further options. That is, until I came up with a backup plan.

Hot Topic has had these Frozen things for a while, and besides my Frozen dress I got on my last trip to Hot Topic, I didn't have any other Frozen themed stuff. I fixed that:

You could say that I'm pretty prepared for Disney World with my new Frozen Swag, and yes, I'm very excited about it. 

Have a magical day!

Day 587: Hot Topic

You know what's a problem in life? I do. It's called "Disney makes clothing and merchandise for children but not for us teenagers who are probably just as obsessed if not more obsessed than those children." And there's no better example of this than the Frozen craze. You can hardly find adult size Frozen shirts, or at least ones that look great, anywhere, and it's a frustrating thing, it really, truly is. All we want is to sport our favorite Frozen characters and showcase our love of the film. That's not a crime, right?

Well, it's ok, because recently I discovered, or realized more like, the answer to all our problems.

Hot Topic.

I don't really know why I never thought about this before, or why I hardly ever went in the store in the first place, but I know how it occurred to me. A while back they had a Captain Hook T-Shirt from Once Upon A Time. Yes, Colin's face was on a T-Shirt. I can't even imagine what that must be like for him. I mean, I had no intention of actually buying the shirt because it just isn't my style (I can look at Colin all day, I don't need to wear a shirt with him on it too).

But the shirt DID cause me to venture into Hot Topic, and it changed my life forever.

Recently, I bought a new Frozen Dress, as well as a Peter Pan shirt and gosh I am just so excited about it and a little afraid for my wallet since I'm totally going to spend half my non-existent paycheck there. Just go look on the website in the Disney section. I died. How about someone just gets me like all of that?

Now we just need to get stuff like this for sale all over the place.

Have a magical day!
