Day 821: No Fooling Here

It may be April 1, and yes, maybe I did decide a bit too late that I should have come up with a brilliant April Fools joke (which I'll now be saving for next year, thank you very much..because I did eventually come up with one), I've been a bit busy working on other things today...including currently watching Gone with the Wind, but that's a blog post for tomorrow.

Nope, today I decided that we're got to go back and review the second half of the month of the March Disneybound Challenge, which I did for the first time this year...at least in its entirety. After all, I do Disneybound weekly for sure for Once Upon A Time, although I realize that the longer I go on the more difficult it becomes. However, as far as this month long challenge went, things were much easier than I expected. I had no problems coming up with various outfits for each day, and I feel like it's a great accomplishment in my life to know that my closet, which used to be filled with lots of black and blue and brown, is so colorful that I can do any wide range of Disneybounds! So without further ado, here's the second half of the month!

I haven't included the OUAT Disneybounds, just as I did the last time, because those have a blog post of their own coming up at the end of the season. I've definitely had a few favorites in this second half of the month, including Iago, Max Goof, Russel, Han Solo, and The Haunted Mansion, plus the ever classic Mickey Mouse! And while I'm certainly glad to have the ability to wear whatever I want and not have to think too hard when putting together my outfits in the morning (I can wear simple T-Shirts again!), I'm also going to miss the challenge a bit. My roommates had a great time everyday guessing what character (or the occasional attraction!) I was, and my Instagram will be a bit more lonely without TWO daily pictures. Regardless, you can bet that I'll be back for the March Disneybound Challenge 2016, and I hope you'll all join in too! Until then, I've got Disneybounds to plan for two Disney trips and the rest of the season of OUAT, so I've got my hands full there! 

Have a magical day!

Day 44: Monsters University

Over the past few days there has been a lot of hype over two things. Oz the Great and Powerful, which is having it's World Premiere today at Disney's El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, and Monsters University.

While I'm excited for both movies, I think I'm more excited for Monsters, which might be because the music in the original is some of my favorite in any Pixar film and the fact that I think we all love the two monsters and we really want to see how that friendship was created.

Last night I watched the UK preview in high definition on my home computer, which was pretty amazing. The trailer was amazing too, and it really gives us an idea of what the plotline of the film will be about. It's so exciting to see the monsters a little younger, and I found myself trying to spot differences while I watched. There are differences between the Mike and Sully we see in Monsters Inc, but it's not bothersome. The attitudes they both share are what I think is the most different, as Mike is so excited to be at school and to become a scarer and Sully is almost already a scarer.

Here's the trailer:

Also today, I'd like to share my Disneybound outfit. I went for Iago from Aladdin! My hair is a little different the way I'm actually wearing it, as I took these pictures the other day when I was planning the outfit, but it's pretty close!

Here's today's Disney History: 1993:  Lumiere's Kitchen restaurant opens in Fantasyland at Disney World's Magic Kingdom. In 2006 it will become the Village Fry Shoppe and in 2009 the Friar's Nook.

Have a magical day!
