The Princess and The Frog

To keep things interesting on here until I start my program, I have decided to discuss some of my favorite Disney films of all time. Stay tuned, it will be fun :) lol

Anywho, I recently had the pleasure of viewing Disney's latest and in my opinion GREATEST 2D animated film : The Princess and the Frog

I was unfortunately unable to see this amazing creation while it was in theaters. Trust me, I had every intention on seeing it right from the day I heard it was due to come out. Like many within the African American community, I was excited for Disney to finally have a Princess that looked like us. It honestly never bothered me or changed my views about Disney because there wasn't a Black princess but shoot, they were actually doing it and I was glad!! lol

Now don't think that I am saying that this movie is the best because Tiana is African American and so am I. No.....I'm not that type to do that. I give praise when it's due and criticism when it needs to exist!

The Princess and the Frog centers on the story of Tiana, a young lady from Louisiana who dreams of one day owning and running her own restaurant: Tiana's Place. Tiana becomes closer than ever to having her dream come true when her wealthy best friend's father pays her a hefty fee to cater their masquerade in honor of Prince Naveen's arrival into town. Multiple problems ensue after Tiana is outbid for her restaurant space and when shady voodoo priest named Dr. Facillier decides to work his evil ways and change the haughty prince into a frog. Tiana, saddened by her turn of bad luck runs into yet another hit of bad luck when she kisses the frog prince, who assures her that he is a real prince who is under a spell and will help her get her restaurant back. Well......things don't quite go as planned. The kiss turns Tiana into a frog too!

From there, the two frogs get lost in the bayou trying to find Mama Odie--a nice old voodoo priestess to help reverse Dr. Facillier's spell. During their journey, Tiana and Prince Naveen make many new friends and teach each other things that neither would have experienced without meeting one another. The two amphibians eventually take a true liking to each other, even falling in love--without either willing to admit it at first.

The frogs and their new friends finally reach the city but find that it's too late for them to turn back into humans. Charlotte (Tiana's friend) kisses frog Naveen to break the spell but it doesn't work. Our two little green friends decide that life as frogs won't be as bad because of the love they share, and decide to marry. This love of theirs is so powerful and true that their first kiss as husband and wife breaks Dr. Facillier's spell. Tiana gets her prince and soon fulfills her dream of opening her restaurant. Great ending to a great movie.

I love it :)

Follow That Bird!!!

Okay, so I'm definitely not a bird and this definitely isn't Sesame Street lol but I think it's a catchy title!

I just wanted to take time to acknowledge my followers (all 7, my lucky number!! I'm the 8th so that doesn't really count lol) Thank you guys much for giving me an extra reason to keep my blog going. Now, I'm not just documenting my Disney experience for myself and any future wanderers who may happen to see; but I'm giving special people (Go CP's, wooo!!)something more to read lol

I enjoy all of your blogs, so I'm hoping you all are getting or will get something out of my blogging.

Have a Magical Day kiddos!!!


I'll be back tomorrow with some better reads (gotta go be a good student and do work!)

New Theme......

So.....unfortunately my plans of having a different Disney themed background every so often will not go through lol

Why you ask? Well, it's too much for one. I could barely find the one's I did have in the beginning and now the page that had my Little Mermaid background is messed up and that means my blog will just be blank with no background and my source of templates is gone :( Another part of the being too much aspect: having to change my text color on all my posts when I change templates. I'm procrastinating enough at school already, I won't even try to do all of that again!! lol This is the last time....at least until I find a simpler way of doing things

Oh well......on with the show.

I've decided on a new type of theme: a lovely, girly-type background that reminds me of one of my favorite Disney Classics of all time: Beauty and The Beast. It's by no coincidence that I do this today b/c I watched the movie this weekend (I was due for some quality Disney time and watched that and UP (congrats on the Oscar wins guys!!!) the beginning of the weekend.

This lovely pink, brown, and green schemed vintage rose background reminds me of Beauty and The Beast somehow. I guess because it has that vintagey romantic element to it. Also, remember the mystical rose from the story? Yeaaaah! lol I think that may have something to do with it too :)

Off to do homework and obliterate this darn procrastination. How do you other future CPs deal with this madness???

Purple Folder

IT"S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what that means right? It's time!! Time for what you ask? It's finally time for me to take the infamous Purple Folder picture and post it on facebook and where ever else my heart desires!!!!

My purple folder just arrived and I almost screamed again lol I just kept saying, "It's hereerre!!! It's heerrreee!!!". If my neighbors would have saw me or heard me they probably would've been like ummm it's only the mail! I wonder what the mail carriers think when they see those big ol folders from Disney. Probably that the family is planning a trip to Disney World or something. Don't act like some mail people aren't nosy like that lol

The Little Mermaid

Hello readers!



As promised, a little info on my current choice of background. (My reason for doing the CP will be here by the weekend if I can swing it.....I have studying I should be focusing on this weekend lol)





My current background (when it's working.....right now it seems to be MIA) is themed after the Disney Classic The Little Mermaid. Ever since I was a little princess, I have adored Ariel and her story. I was a LM nut back in the day. I've always been an all Disney fan but when it came to anything Mermaid related I had to have it. I had the LM bedding (I'm sure it's still at the house somewhere hiding if I didn't toss it) including curtains (still have and use those.....I stay within the color scheme when I can since my room is light-blue like a crystal-like ocean). I definitely had the Ariel and Prince Eric dolls (recently gave those away but they were not in pristine condition.....played with them to no end; I'm sure my nieces love em like I did! lol); I have various LM figurines/toys that are still in tip-top shape; I know I had an outfit with matching shoes b/c one of my birthday parties (may have been 3rd or 4th) was LM themed



The story of Disney's The Little Mermaid is timeless and fits the life-story of many a girl around the world (minus the mermaid, talking animals, sea witch and prince part haha). Many of us grow up under a tight ruling with strict parents, usually a strict father. I know of her pain so well lol While my problems didn't deal with loving a human prince and following the MerKing's rules, my dad did have his share of rules and levels of strictness. In so many ways he acted like Triton (still tries to most of the time!) but I was determined to have my way and have my independence. We princesses get reprimanded for the darnedest things don't we? And then when we get closer to our dream (Prince Eric and being human in Ariel's case) life or a sea witch comes to take it away. I'm glad she got her prince and everything she desired in the end as opposed to the real tragic ending or the real LM story. This story and movie will always be held close to my heart. I think this movie is what sparked my love affair with all things oceanic and Disney :)

Waiting.....

So it's been a couple of days since I've been accepted into the Disney World College Program. I am still super ecstatic about going but I have a few minor concerns.

Will I like my roomates/housemates? How will that part work out exactly? I mean....I've gone 5 years in college and all of my 22/23 years without having a roommate. The closest I had was my bff in highschool when we went on a ski trip; we had houses not hotel rooms. So that kind of counts right? lol Anywho, one of my good friends and my twin sister foreva lol is scheduled to interview on Friday. I wish I would have told her about going when I apllied instead of after b/c that would have guaranteed us to be roomies in the Fall. The rest of the housemates wouldn't be much of an issue then but now I have to wait until she hears back....AFTER her interview tomorrow. So that gives us roughly a week to anticipate her acceptance :)

Hopefully the arrival date that I chose (8/11) won't be full by then b/c in order for us to room together, we have to arrive the same day {Why Disney?? Why?????? lol} I should have chose the 23rd to be on the safe side but I didn't want to run the risk of not being able to choose the housing I want (either Chatham or Patterson; I am NOT under any circumstance staying at Vista Lay--it's all bad when a rap song and video is made about it; creative maybe....funny even....but all bad!!)

I hope that all goes well with Ms. Twin and we can go to Disney together



On another note, I'll be back later to post a little more info on why I am doing this program, this blog, and why my current background is what it is.

Have a Magical Day

ACCEPTED!!!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I've been waiting on this email all week!!! Ive been accepted into the Disney College Program to participate as a Housekeeping cast member :) #2 choice but I don't care, I'm working for Disney yall!! Hot dog! lol

I have to keep from screaming (I did squeak a little lol) since I'm in the library but Oh Em Gee, I'm sooo happy!!!

Day 6

The wait is killing me!!! lol I am truly being impatient with all of this but I cannot help myself. I'm dying to konw whether or not I made it into this program. I've been eating, sleeping, dreaming all things Disney for quite some time now: in spurts and in overkill over the past (almost) 23 years.

While it's only been 6 days since my interview, I can't help but wonder when I'll get an answer. I've been contemplating doing this internship for a few years but never really settled on going because I didn't want to halt my graduation date any further overdue already thanks to changing majors, but that was my fault lol). I've been reading posts on various blogs and forums about the CP and some people receive their invitation emails as soon as 6-7 days and even as long as 6 weeks. I'm not sure how this will play out for me but hopefully everything works in my favor :)

I'm going to play around with this Polyvore thing I discovered from other bloggers and try to come up with my own outfits for fun and for future shopping (hopefully CP shopping!!)

With that said, I should have some other fun and interesting things to share besides the daunting wait for my purple email **villian cackle**
