It’s November, which means it gets colder (boo!), but it also means Thanksgiving! I love a big meal with family. I love Christmas too, but I won’t go Christmas crazy until the day after Thanksgiving. The one thing I will do before Thanksgiving is start my Christmas shopping though – don’t want to wait til the last minute!
Disney in your Day news
The biggest news we have around here is that yesterday I just launched the Disney stocking stuffer guide! It has lots of great little Disney items that would be perfect in a Disney lover’s stocking – but the best part is that everything is from Etsy, which means it’s handmade and some one of a kind stuff. Plus, in the coming weeks I’ll be featuring a number of these Etsy shops to show off what they have to offer, and we’ve got some great giveaways with that too!
I’m also going to try and participate in NaNoWriMo again this year. I am working on a specific kind of guide book for Disney World that will be aimed mostly at parents – I’m not quite yet ready to reveal the details but I’m putting a ton of work into it so I’m hoping it turns out well! If you’re not familiar with National Novel Writing Month, it’s attempting to write 50,000 words in the month of November. I’ve successfully completed it twice, with two middle grade novels that I wrote, so this will be my third year giving it a go!

When I saw there was a blog called “Bibbidi Bobbidi Booze“, I knew I had to click on it. And their recipe for a dragon berry colada sounds divine.

What Disney news are you most excited about this month?
What a fun round-up! I love, love the bridal gowns inspired by Disney princesses. The Jasmine one is the most like my own wedding gown, but I think my favorite out of these is the Elsa dress. I like that they’re inspired, but not literal, as was mentioned in the post. The Star Wars birthday party is so fun – love their awesome welcome sign! That’s a great memento to hang on to. That Dragon Berry Colada looks delicious!
I really love the Elsa dress too – it’s so pretty and I totally agree that I prefer the fact that they aren’t too literal.
What a great roundup! I’m checking out the wedding dresses and the star wars themed birthday-too awesome!
Enjoy – lots of fun Disney things to look at!
Whenever I get married, I’m so buying my wife that “Disney life, Happy Wife” shirt, lol.
Haha it’s a great shirt!
This roundup was so fun!!! I loved the wedding related things they were really cute! and since I’m planning my wedding I’m saving this for later
Oh perfect! Hope you’re having fun wedding planning 🙂
So many wonderful stocking stuffer ideas! I’m going to have to order a few of these. Thanks for helping my Christmas shopping list get shorter!
You’re welcome! Glad I could help 😉
I live near Disney Land but I grew up near Disney World. I love the little orange guy too. So cute! A stocking stuffer guide is a great idea!
My husband was surprised when I told him the Orange Bird was a Florida thing – he thought it would be in Cali too with all of the orange groves out there!
I love that you’re participating in NaNoWriMo! While I am not partaking in the festivities, I am writing a novel and am hoping to have it finished (the first draft!) by the end of 2015. Have you gotten the previous two novels published? I think it is so fantastic and encouraging to know you have successfully completed the challenge.
That’s awesome that you’re working on a novel too! I never did get them published. I did a ton of editing, revising, and even researching of publishers and then never actually submitted it. I should really consider getting back to it.
Im most excited about ‘Season of the Force!’ – my son is beside himself with excitement!
I’m pretty excited about it too!
Awe. Thank you so much for including my Star Wars birthday party. Such an awesome surprise!!!
Of course, I loved it!
<3<3 What a fun roundup!
Thank you, I had fun putting it together!
What a fantastic Disney round-up! And I love the little Orange Bird – he’s just too adorable. I’m sending wonderful writers’ wishes your way for a great Disney World guide book. You are so knowledgeable about Disney that I’m sure it will blow everyone away and be super helpful to singles, couples and families. 🙂
Thanks so much! I have a couple of guide book ideas so we’ll see what happens!
Thanks for all the links. I’m pretty sure Disney park homesickness is a real thing! 😉
I’m pretty positive it is too!
