The Week That Was, August 21, 2011

This has been a busy week in the blogging world, so let’s get right to it!

  • On Sunday, I started a new series, counting down the days until our next trip to Disney!  So, on Sunday I shared a picture of the Magic Kingdom, specifically Cinderella Castle, that I took from our resort at Bay Lake Tower. 
  • On Monday, I wanted to reveal one of our Disney Photopass pictures — this one was of Sophie after her appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!
  • Also on Monday, I revealed our latest contest, in celebration of our first anniversary!
  • On Tuesday, we explored the Kali River Rapids!
  • On Wednesday, as part of the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop, I shared Sophie’s enjoyment of the Jumbo Turkey Leg!  As always, thanks Deb for hosting the Hop!
  • Thursday’s picture of the day was a double feature of Mater and Lightning McQueen, over at Epcot at the entrance to World Showcase!  I hope you enjoyed it!
  • Also on Thursday, I wrote a story about how much I am looking forward to our first experience with the Food & Wine Festival!  Have you ever been to the F&W before?
  • Friday was Magical Blogorail Friday!  The line I’m a member of, the Red Line, and this month we brought you our thoughts on preparing for your next Disney vacation!
  • Also on Friday, for today’s picture of the day, I shared with you our picture of “The Biergarten Band!”  If you’ve never eaten at Biergarten before, I highly recommend it.  It is located in the Germany Pavilion over at Epcot’s World Showcase.
  • On Saturday, we talked about our next big vacation.  We are in the planning stages for our Disney Vacation with some of our great friends!
  • Lastly, for Saturday’s picture of the day, I brought you a special picture of one of our favorite attractions at the Magic Kingdom: Big Thunder Mountain!

Over on Chip & Company, I had the following posts for Chip:

  • On Monday the Week in Review was published.  As you remember, I split time with my friend Ken (operator of the Disney For Seniors Facebook Page), and it was my turn.
  • Lastly, on Friday my movie review for the Disney DVD Prom was posted, if you haven’t seen that movie, check it out — Sophie and I really enjoyed it!

About Mike Ellis

Mike has been a Disney fan since his first trip to the Magic Kingdom in 1979 when he was 11 years old. Since that first trip, he has seen parks open, lands close, and attractions come and go, but one thing remains the same, his love for Disney is as strong as ever.

His Disney adventures caused him to start My Dreams of Disney because he wanted to document for his family and friends all of the special Disney Memories he has enjoyed with his family, and since that first post in 2010, Mike's hobby has become his passion!

Now a Travel Consultant with Pixie Vacations for over nine years, Mike has helped many of his readers plan and have incredible Disney vacations of their own. Check us out on Facebook and Twitter.
