So room keys are now obsolete; first thing I learned once we landed in Orlando, Florida for our somewhat annual family vacation. Disney is completely re-doing their system with these “bands,” that come personalized when you arrive, have different colors for different dining plans and park passes, are your room key and even credit card for your time there. It’s actually kind of convenient even it they’re ugly. (Shown below) Although I’m always up for the Mickey Mouse head shape anywhere. I love Mickey. After not having been in Disney for quite some time, it was actually really refreshing to get some of my youth back. In college you feel like you’re growing up so fast, it’s so fast you can’t stop it. I think that’s one of the reasons I hate roller coasters so much, even though you’re in a controlled space you’re not in control really, because they won’t stop the ride when you’re upside down and screaming if it’s going by too fast. So Disney is stopping my ride for a bit, and it feels nice to be under repair. Everyone needs a little bit of a detox sometimes. I got my first Movado watch in Orlando, 50% off at the outlet mall. Best find ever, although 50% isn’t actually that helpful in the long run. Either way, I’m very proud and I know Amanda Seyfried is somewhere looking down at her wrist into her Movado dial just as I am. Happy New Year to me.
