Hey, It's Okay

 I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

......to have had a wonderful time at Walt Disney World last week. We walked so much, but it was worth it. And we went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party.

.....to already be planning the next Walt Disney World trip. I always get a bounce back offer and it's a discounted price for a Disney hotel so you save a bunch. 

......to have moved Natalie back into college. Her classes start this week. 

......to be going to an Obsession pop-up market this weekend with the kids. Yup, Natalie is already coming home. She loved the movie Obsession, an actor from the movie will be there, plus other vendors. 

.......to be amused that Natalie took shooting aliens seriously in Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin in Magic Kingdom at Disney World. She got a high score. I said her photo reminded me of Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy shooting stuff.

Michael Jackson Tributes At Disney World

 Michael Jackson was a fan of Disney. He went to Disneyland and Disney World frequently. I mean, it makes sense: he was like a big kid, and the theme parks cater to that. It's probably why we love them as well. You can feel young and whimsical. 

Disney World has some Michael Jackson tributes, and we wanted to be sure we found them.

For starters, you can get Fuzzball from Captain EO at Hollywood Studios. Remember Captain EO? It was a short film that starred Michael Jackson, and it used to be at both theme parks. I believe it shut down in 1998 and returned in 2010 as a tribute to Michael, and then closed for good in 2015. Fuzzball is his sidekick. 

In front of Mickey's Runaway Railway in Hollywood Studios, you can see Michael's signature, so we brought Fuzzball to say hello. You can purchase Fuzzball in Galaxy's Edge--apparently he's in that world because he was a BRIEF appearance in The Mandalorian & Grogu movie. Blink and you'll miss it. I did. The cast member had to explain it to me. 

It was neat to see Michael's signature and handprints. The cast members were touched that we had brought Fuzzball over to say hello.

Even Geppetto was a fan.

The spot where Captain EO used to show is in Epcot. It's now the area where Disney & Pixar Short Films are shown.

Fuzzball was eager to be where his movie once was.

It still looks basically the same, just different signs. 

Finally, Michael loved the Kali River Rapids ride in Animal Kingdom. So if you look up in the room where you stand before entering the tubes, you'll see a painting of him on the ride. It's the Sherpa Surfer painting:

 It was fun checking out all the Michael spots at Disney World. We are hoping that Captain EO returns one day. With the popularity of the Michael movie, there is a chance it might. 

And if so, Fuzzball will be there.

Dirty Soda And A Free Cup At HuHot

Whenever we're craving stir fry, we head to HuHot since it's all you can eat. And you prepare your own bowls, so it's exactly how YOU want it. Not how a worker wants it. 

Even better, they have dirty sodas PLUS you get a free cup for a limited time.

You can add coconut, vanilla, or lime to your favorite soda. 

I went with a vanilla Dr. Pepper and it was spectacular.

And my stir fry was delicious as always. Yakisoba noodles, beef, chicken, onions, peas, corn, and cabbage with a spicy sauce. 

Plus, yes, the cup is fun. 

I noticed this sign and I'm assuming it's going on at all locations. So dress up for free stir fry!

My daughter is excited to bring her cup to college. At parties the Red Solo Cups are everywhere, and she plans on bringing her HuHot cup. 

If you go to HuHot, let me know what Dirty Soda you create because I might try it the next time we go in. (Which will be soon, as we seriously love the spot and are there often.)
