With this last trip I have officially stayed everywhere on the monorail loop. A bit sad I never got to stay before the rooms were completely redone however the lampshade? So so worth it.
The resort definitely has a unique smell around dinner time. There’s the rubber/crayon smell from the monorail mixed with the garlic smell from chef Mickey’s… honestly I miss it 🤷‍♀️
Fun fact: Nixon gave his “I am not a crook” speech at the resort in the ballrooms of America

A Long Heartfelt Post, To Anyone Who Would Like to Read
To give an update on life because I decided to do an idea involving this. For the next 6 months I'm going to Florida to take part in the Disney College Program (I know it is a bit controversial but what I want to go for it's honestly a neutral option).
This decision wasn't easy at all, it was honestly really difficult. When I went to Disney World in February, I had it stuck in my head that I wouldn't be able to get in. I have an Associates Degree in Fine Arts, going to WDW to celebrate my graduation and during that time I was still working a job where I was being underpaid and thought I was stuck in. My cousin J, who is a 1 1/2 years younger than me and were attached to the hip when we were children, was in the DCP at that time. We met up briefly for a moment at Disney Springs and Hollywood Studios but we didn't discuss anything.
This part my cousin did not know was I engaged in a lot of conversations with Cast Members at the parks gift shops and they mentioned DCP to me. I told them I did want to get into Animation or somewhere in that route and emphasized I should sing up and you can sign up within 2 years after you graduated. I was stunned and the one that actually got me to start thinking was the second day of Magic Kingdom and then lovely talk I had in the Japan Pavilion with 2 cast members in Epcot.
That night at Epcot, I was drunk from a Sake shaved ice concoction from the Japan Pavilion (it was blood orange flavored, absolutely delicious but will knock you onto your ass the next minute, My sister and friend Deox has official black mail on me for that night, simple but 10/10 would recommend again and again), J decided to join us for the night time show to close out the evening. I looked over at J and said "you know if we traveled back in time and we told our 5-6 year old selves we would watching the fireworks together in Disney World, they would've thought we were crazy" and she agreed. After the beautiful performance and we were on our way to the exit that's when I started talking to her about DCP. She did mention the pros and cons and I was still hesitant about the idea. I had my heart set on a ludicrous idea, of how I can get myself into the career I wanted, when an easier option was right in front of my face.
That night when I was leaving the lot in Epcot, I felt the urge of a gut saying 'you have to stay, why are you leaving' I thought it was me just going to miss being there from vacation but I just had a gut feeling I'll be back there soon. Once I was back home, I was fighting to get any way for my pay to change at my job along with having DCP simmering in the back of my head. Then when I got the call that they cant fix my pay at the moment or back pay that's when I decided to say heck it.
I applied but it took me a week to finish the application because i wanted to make sure I pay attention to each thing that they were requiring. I was then asked to do a questionare, and soon after a on phone interview where the woman was able to answer my questions regarding to the living space and also recommended me the seminars I should look into when I'm down there. I thought the into went really well and I got an email saying it might take a while to get a response more towards the end of June I would hear a definitive answer. But hell was I wrong.
Two days later, I had an opening shift and something in me said I should check my email and I was greeted with an email saying I got in and gave me an offer letter to print and also was offering a pay that was more than I was making at the job I was at. I was in tears crying but had to stop since customers were coming in. Then past 2 months I have been preparing and getting stuff done so I can be ready to be picked up for the airport, Which is now going to be in T-Minus 20 hours.
To let out my inner child for just a moment, let's just say Neverland has been calling for me and the invitation is a bit overdue lmao so I guess this is the next best thing 😂😂😂.
I can't help but beyond thankful for my family and friends support back at home and the online friends that have become my second family that I can always lean on. This has honestly been a wild ride the past few months. Some sad, happy, and sometimes downright aggravating. I'm also thankful for my friend @reddie28 for their support also on here whether it's someone to vent to and also to distract and have some with. I do apologize for taking absence for a bit during the beginning of 2023. I'm so thankful you stuck around ❤️. For the content on my page, it will remain the same but i will be throwing in some more Disney stuff than usual.
2023 is the year of the Rabbit (which is the same sign I was born). I don't know who blessed me to have a figurative rabbits foot. But I feel I was now able to fulfill my inner childs dream of getting pixie dust to be able to have their own adventure and my inner teens dream to become an artist of something big that can touch another child or an elderly and give them something to escape and smile even if it's an hour and 30 mins of screentime.

Shades of Green Resort (1996)
When Walt Disney World Resort opened in 1971, two hotels, The Contemporary, and the Polynesian, opened along with it. One month later, the next hotel opened, Fort Wilderness. All three hotels are still open to this day, roughly the same as they were in 1971. Two years later, a hotel that is no longer owned by Disney opened, The Golf Resort. The name came from its location in the middle of the Palm and Magnolia golf courses. In the 1990s, the United States Army wanted to build a resort in America as a part of their MWR program (Morale, Welfare, and Recreation). This program offers experiences to past and present military personnel at discounted rates. The Department of Defense leased the resort in 1994 and later, in 1996, purchased it for $43 million. The resort was renamed Shades of Green (in reference to the colors of uniforms used in war). The price to stay at Shades of Green is a massive discount; one night is roughly $160, while at other Disney resorts, it's around $300-$600 per night. Only certain people can stay there because this resort is classified as an MWR. Those include Current members of the United States Armed Forces, Reserve and National Guard members, retired military personnel, veterans who have been honorably discharged, Medal of Honor Recipients, and Department of Defense and Coast Guard employees. The pictures I used are from my mother and father's 1996 trip to Disney World. Being an active member of the Navy, my father could stay at Shades of Green. As for the pictures, the first is of the sign that leads into Shades of Green; this sign has been replaced by one on a rock formation. The second picture was damaged and didn't scan well, it's a picture of the room they stayed in, and you can make out the silhouette of my mother sitting at the table. The third picture was taken from the room's balcony; the tree on the right is seen outside in the second picture. I have a travel guide pamphlet for Shades of Green that I will scan and post after this; it has some cool images and information.

The WDW Bus Flag Craft Project of Love
I had this crazy idea several years ago: Wouldn't it be a fun Disney craft to take those bus flags from the 80s/90s and make physical replicas of them? It's time for us to get crafty!
I had this crazy idea several years ago. Wouldn’t it be a fun Disney craft to take those bus flags from the 80s/90s and make physical replicas of them? Not sure what I’m talking about? Let’s take a few steps back. In the beginning…. Nope, too far back. In the early days of Walt Disney World, your vacation options were pretty limited. Magic Kingdom was the only park open. Just a small number of…

Will never be as cool as I was when I got a high five from Donald heading to the resort monorail.
As someone who has always been sort of afraid of mascots etc it was a big move for me. It helped that it was a organic interaction (we were heading up a path they were going down to go backstage after meet and greets) as they were passing by and not a “wait In line” thing.

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!! What do you call a Disney Resort Hotel without a pool? Galactic Starcruiser! Eh-yo! Now with that topical joke out of the way, let's talk about the ones with pools. Specifically, a particular pool because while there are some awesome swimming holes on-property with things like water cannons, a Mayan Pyramid or King Neptune riding a sea serpent, none can hold a candle to Stormalong Bay. Stormalong Bay is the pool at the Yacht & Beach Club, a pair of hotels themed after Cape Cod but to call it simply a pool is an understatement. With 750,000 gallons of chlorinated water over three acres of space, it is more like a mini-water park. A series of crafted concrete canals with a sandy bottom, an adjacent beach, a lazy river, a whirlpool and waterslide that goes off a shipwreck plus the usual appearances of a few outdoor hot tubs and a pool bar. If you’re the type of family who like to spend a good chunk of their vacation poolside, Stormalong Bay has you covered…as long as it’s a WDW vacation…and you’re staying at the Yacht or Beach Club. Even if you don’t fulfill those requirement, I’d still say this pool is wonderful!
