What's in our Disney Park bags!

Hey y'all it's all Four of the Sparks today. We went to Disney World in January and we want to show you what's in our Disney park bags!
 
So without further ado here is our first joint Blog post:

 
 
Bailey's Bag:

My bag is a Water Backpack that I got specifically for Disney.( Here is were you should be able to find it) (amazon.com than search Ridgeway by Kelty)

  • A jacket - It sometimes gets cold in the morning and at night, so I'm bringing my Disney fleece
  • A mini First-Aid kit - There's going to be 24 people so we want to make sure we're safe
  • My Disney pins - I bought some off Ebay for really cheap so I can trade them
  • A project To-do - For the long lines
  • Sunglasses - because the sun is really bright
And now for the more obvious stuff
  • Chap stick (Eos), Hand sanitizer (Bath and Body Works PocketBac in the Pink Chiffon scent), Hair ties, Bobby Pins, Brush, Deodorant, Travel size body mist and Lotion

 
Julia's Bag:

I have the same Ridgeway by Kelty backpack that Bailey has but I put some Disney buttons on it!
The bag is amazing! the smallest pocket can fit my Nokia Lumia 920 with a wallet case on with room to spare. It fits two liters of water, and has some pockets, within pockets!

Now, in my bag I have:
  • My phone with my wallet case (it has a strap!) (the case, I mean)
  • Hand sanitizer, Target $1 wipes, lotion, chap stick, yoyo, and safety pins
  • Hair stuff
  • Sunglasses
  • A lot of Disney pins
  • Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom cards, Wilderness Explorer handbook, etc.
Emma's Bag:

I bought a half-pint Jansport off of Amazon specifically with this trip in mind. It is smaller then I originally thought, but I think that it will work nicely. Its got a nice zippered front pocket and a smaller pocket on top of that which closes with Velcro and is great for things you need close at hand.



I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I love organizing, so my backpack has several small cosmetic cases to keep everything tidy. I seriously recommend doing this!

In the big pocket, I have my green flowered bag, my pin case, an extra lanyard, my water bottle, a glasses case, my sunglasses, and an Altoid tin filled with hair things, clips and bobby pins.

My green flowered bag is the one I use for my brush, a small eye shadow palate, mascara, make-up remover wipes, feminine products, lotion and my adorable Mickey & Minnie compact mirror

All of my first aid items are in my chevron pencil case, and its fairly basic. I used a $1 jewelry case to hold plenty of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen. I also have a whole bunch of different types of band-aids, medicated chap stick, cough drops and an alcohol wipe.

In the smaller zippered pocket, I have my purple wristlet, cardstock, sharpies and my phone. The wristlet is for my Disney pins that I bought off of Ebay specifically for trading. The cardstock and sharpies are for autographs, because I am planning on making a scrap book of sorts, so my autographs will look extra nice.

The little Velcro pocket has just enough room for hand sanitizer and Eos chap stick. I use my chapstick pretty often, so its nice to just pull it out with moving anything else. I have my hand sanitizer there too, because if my hands are in need of hand sanitizer, I don't want to be touching everything else.

Kate's Bag:

I carry a Tinkerbelle messenger bag, which is just the right size for my everyday needs. Unlike my cousins, who are uber-prepared when it comes to Disney, I actually use my purse for a few things:
  • My phone with a wallet case (Because no one likes to dig out their wallet when they're in a hurry!)
  • Chap stick (which, honestly, ended up there by mistake. I did end up needing it, though.)
  • Bobby pins and hairbands
  • Whatever merchandise I bought that day.
  • Aaaaaand whatever anyone without a purse asks me to carry (I'm lookin' at you Emma! Because for whatever reason you never brought your meticulously organized bag with you on rides!).
The main reason I carry a purse is because my phone falls out of my pocket fairly often, so I lose it fairly often.


So, everyone, this was supposed to get posted a month ago- before we  left- but, being that I'm (Kate) a super lazy procrastinator, I didn't finish my part until right now.

My apologies and I hope you liked this post!



When you go to Disney, what is the MOST essential item you bring in your bag?

My Frozen Alternate Universe Theory

Hey guys! It's Julia. I've decided to share an idea inspired by the Disney film Frozen that I came up with some time ago.
Wait for it . . .

What if Hans was just a figment of Anna's imagination!

It would make sense. As a result of feeling abandoned and lonely for years, Anna involuntarily imagined a friend. He was quirky and cute, he knew what it was like to feel invisible, and he was always there when Anna was feeling blue. He was perfect. But maybe too perfect.

She started getting confused between her imagination and reality. He proposed to her! And she accepted.

When Anna approaches Elsa about the marriage, Elsa realizes that Anna will not believe that Hans is, in fact, not real. she decides to take a different approach; just telling her she can't marry a man she just met. As a result, Elsa reveals her powers, starting off this whole adventure.

As she is on her journey, Anna meets Kristoff and inevitably falls in love with him. Only one problem, Hans!

Although they both know they love the other, Kristoff believes that Hans is real so to save Anna, he brings her back to Hans.

In order to be with Kristoff, Anna, or Anna's mind, has to get rid of Hans. So she comes up with this whole thing where he doesn't love her, but was, indeed, using her.

To add to everything, Anna thinks that Hans is going to kill Elsa. So she "sacrifices" herself for Elsa. Even though Hans was just her imagination so Elsa technically wasn't in real danger, Anna thought she was so the act of true love still sort of counts.

In the end she made up his punishment. She punched him and sent him home to his twelve brothers and let them take care of him.

And Anna & Kristoff (and Elsa) lived happily ever after
The End

Now before you go judging me, I know I can't explain everything, I just thought that in an alternate Frozen universe, that would be really cool.

See ya real soon!

About Julia



Julia, 2014
 
How about we start with the basics! My name is Julia, I am twelve and turning thirteen in October, I’m homeschooled, and in 8th grade. I’m second born of five kids and I have (what I consider to be) dirty-blonde hair and big, dark brown eyes.

 
Me with my best friend Avery, Disney World, 2007


I was a very stubborn and determined child and I still am. I would never open Christmas presents when I was told it was my turn; ONLY when I wanted to. I also ate dirt one time. The bigger boy cousins were playing in it and I thought they were eating it so I joined in. I looked like I raided a box of Oreos
2010


I am really afraid of fish, I am obsessed with my upcoming Disney trip and birthday party, I play the ukulele and dabble with piano, I enjoy morning, and my favorite season is fall.

I like wearing comfy clothes, which means I only put on jeans if I have to. Pasta is amazing in my opinion and I also like mozzarella sticks and cheesy garlic bread. My family and I travel and go camping all the time and everyone is always telling me that my hair is so soft and that my eyelashes are so long.

I don’t like math but science is a different story. I love big houses with lots and lots of grass around it and I am a professional multi-tasker.  I also love roller-coasters and thrill rides.

This is me playing Scuttle in The Little Mermaid, 2013
 

I love dance and musical theatre. I’ve been doing theatre since 2005 and musical theatre since 2012. I’ve been taking dance only since fall 2013. I’m currently taking just ballet and pointe but I’ve done lyrical, contemporary, stretches and turns, and fabrics. In non-musical theatre I’ve played an angel in several Christmas pageants and Avery Arable in Charlotte’s Web. As for musical theatre I’ve played a Lost Boy in Peter Pan, a Servant and Rockette Dancer in Annie Jr, Shanti in The Jungle Book, and Scuttle in The Little Mermaid. As well as many other ensemble roles in other musicals.
I hope you enjoyed my second blog post about me! I am currently working on a Mickey Mouse-inspired mini purse for the shop so keep a look out!
If you have any questions about me ask in the comments and I will gladly answer!!

12 Things Disney Taught Me


This is Julia for my first Blog post!!

I am a Disnerd. If you met me, it would be completely obvious. Even in the profile you can tell! I’m constantly wearing Disney t-shirts and randomly quoting and bursting into song. So I’ve decided to round up my favorite quotes, lessons, and sayings from the awesome Disney movies we know and LOVE!


1.       “They need a hero, Bolt, someone who, no matter what the odds, will do what’s right. They need a hero to tell them that sometimes the impossible can become possible if you are AWESOME!”

-Rhino the hamster     -Bolt

There is almost nothing to add to this. Be a hero, do what’s right, be awesome.

2.       “Ladies don’t start fights, but they can finish them!”  

-Marie   -The Aristocats

Don’t underestimate what a lady can do. Just because they seem dainty and fragile doesn’t mean they can’t stand up for themselves or others.

3.       “The seaweed is always greener in somebody else’s lake”

-Sabastian   -The Little Mermaid

No matter how cool your stuff is, somebody always has something cooler.      

4.        “Go, live your dream”

-Hook-handed thug   -Tangled

Just go.

5.       “Scary monsters don’t have plaque!”

-Mike Wazowski   -Monsters Inc.

The most practical Disney lesson; if you want to be the best version of you, brush your teeth.

6.       “This much I know. If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff”

-Remy    -Ratatouille

You tell ‘em Remy!

7.       "No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true."

-Cinderella

Keep on believing!

 

8.       “Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind . . . or forgotten”

-Lilo   -Lilo and Stitch

Hold on to the family you’ve got.

 

 

9.   "You're mad. Bonkers. Off your head... but I'll tell you a secret... all of the best people are."

-The Mad Hatter    -Alice in Wonderland

  You are not too weird. If you’re weird I won’t judge you . . . I’m probably weirder.

10.   “Just keep swimming”

-Dory   -Finding Nemo

Life isn’t all that grim! Just keep on swimming.

11.   “I never look back, darling! It distracts from the now.”

-Edna    -The Incredibles

This quote is self-explanatory. But, who knew Edna was so wise!

12.   “Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.”

                           -Walt Disney
