the castle at night time. it was so great, i was going to see if i could snag some fast passes for a ride and it just so happened to be when the castle was being completely lit up. they have a whole ceremony for it! i loved loved loved it and took a break to just sit out in front and to the side of it and dwell in the magic

dan outside of its a small world. what a perfect ride without the christmas spirit, but with them singing jingle bells along with its a small world, and with everything in there sparkling and the different signs saying merry christmas it was just grand.





all but tayzle standing by the giant beautiful christmas tree at the end of a magical day. what a beautiful tree and a beautiful place!



earlier in the day we went back to toon town and they decorated for christmas like they decorate that wonderful little town all of the other holidays. BIG and WIGGLY. it was so cute and i am so sad i didnt get a picture of the tree... sad day but oh well it poses for a reason to go back next time. this was in front of goofy's house. someday i will decorate my house like his!



so happy late thanksgiving my dear bloggers. i was busy playing in disney land with my favorite family. it was such a beautiful time to be there and although its disney and people usually are not all that nice i do believe they possibly could have been a little bit nicer with some good old holiday cheer about them. It was just such a grand quick trip! there is truly no better place to be at a holiday than disneyland. the lights were phenomenol, the rides all christmased out were wonderful and the castle was just such a sight to see! wowsers!

you may be wondering where the flowers play into all this... well i didnt want to post two times so we are combining. recently i took one of two exams to become a licensed cosmotologist, and when i got done and passed gloriously i just had to go on with my day at school and such. but when i pulled into my driveway for lunch some unexpected visitors jumped out of their car with so many flowers! thanks karen and nate! it was such a lovely thing and i cant believe that they and whoever else helped with it were so wonderful! thats you mom :) and crazily enough that is the most flowers i have ever received... gotta love it

clear up..

ok so the rumor is out that there is a naked scene in the newest HP... i for one was devastated when i heard that there was naked scenes, and wanted to look into it farther to see what the deal was. seriously kids all over the world love this and so to clear things up a tad for all those who still are on the fence or really want to see it read this article from the Salt Lake Tribune

It apparently doesn't take much to get people hot and bothered -- just mention the words "nude scene" and "Harry Potter" in the same sentence.
News reporters were abuzz last week with the story that co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson would be in some state of nakedness in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" -- and reporters (like KSL's Cleon Wall) dutifully got up in arms on behalf of panicky parents.
The rumors were totally fact-free, of course, as the parents being interviewed and the reporters stoking the "outrage" had not actually seen the movie.
The Cricket has seen the movie (wait until Friday, when the movie opens nationwide, for the review), and can now bring some facts to the table. (The obligatory SPOILER ALERT warnings should be heeded now.)
Radcliffe is indeed shirtless, while Watson told MTV News that she was wearing a strapless bra.
Both were also wearing silver paint to create a nightmare effect for poor Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) -- whose worst fear is that Hermione (Watson) would reject the poor-but-valiant Ron for the illustrious Harry Potter (Radcliffe).
They are seen in this state for about 3 seconds.
They are seen with enough mist, smoke and special-effects additions that any flashes of skin are obscured.
The movie is rated PG-13, "for some sequences of intense action violence, frightening images and brief sensuality."
This is not the first movie in the series to earn a PG-13; "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" did, too. Those films, though, earned their ratings only for violence and frightening images.
Parents need to remember something about the "Harry Potter" series, both as books and movies: Harry Potter grows up, so what's appropriate behavior in the first installment (when the character was 11) and what's appropriate in the final chapter (in which he comes of age) are different.
The fans have grown up right along side Harry. Preteens who read "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" when it first came out are adults now, and don't expect to see their beloved hero remain a kid forever.
And why would parents be upset now over a 3-second bit of sensuality (which, in context, is integral to the story and to the development of Ron's character) when they weren't upset about the PG-13 bloodshed and violence that has already been seen in two of the previous six movies? Particularly when the MPAA is notorious for being much harsher in its ratings regarding sexual content than regarding violence?
Two words to the parents, and to the reporters who want to gin up a controversy where there is none: Chill out.

they said it not me. now decide if you are going to go or not from the truth rather than the rumor.

hours....

78 hours until HARRY POTTER!!!!!
finished the 7th for the last time before the movie comes out...
this movie and the next are such bittersweet ones to me.
this- the beginning of the end
the next-the end of the end.
sad day. one the flip side i am being a death eater for the premier! WEEEEEE
and if i can get the gilberts to dress up i want alli to be luna, gretch hermione, and scot to be a malfoy of his choice.
they are all PERFECT for the parts minus the meanness of malfoyss, but hey he has blonde hair! and it would just be so fun to be the extreme movie goers, because lets face it i am an extremist!
