This Donald Duck Hallmark ornament, entitled "Cool Duck Donald", was released on September 8th, 2012.
From the box:
Cool Duck Donald
Donald thought that sledding would be sweet, and he's in luck-gliding fast across the snow, he looks like one cool duck!

his hat stays on his head!

From the box:
Merry Mittens Minnie

Mickey and Pluto Downhill Dashing Hallmark Ornaments
By Nick
These 2 Disney ornaments were released by Hallmark in 2012
They are part of a set of ornaments featuring the Fab Five, titled "Ready! Set! Snow!",
that were released from their premiere weekend in July, through November
2nd.
First up we have Downhill-Dashin' Mickey. I am not exactly sure what happened to the box, but it got crushed somehow!
This ornament has a notch to connect other ornaments in the set.
From the box:
Downhill-Dashin' Mickey
Ready! Set! Snow!
Mickey loves to race the sled through snow and ice and slush. And when he wants more speed, he simply hollers, "Pluto, mush!"

ornament can be connected to others in the "Ready! Set! Snow!"
collection. Collect them all to create a delightful holiday display!

Next up, we have Sled-Pullin' Pluto.
A string, er, rope is attached, for Mickey to grab, while Pluto does the heavy lifting!
From the box:
Sled-Pullin' Pluto
Ready! Set! Snow!
Sledding is always fun to do with Pluto for a guide-when Mickey and the gang climb on, he'll take them for a ride!
Tomorrow, we'll take a look at the rest of the set.

Best Vacation Haircut!
by Gaylin
In April of 2005, I had my head shaved to raise funds for Balding For Dollars, a local Vancouver charity run to help kids in the cancer ward at BC Children's Hospital. With the help of friends I raised $1,500!!
Two weeks after I had my head shaved I went on vacation to Walt Disney World. I have to say, being bald in hot Florida in May was wonderful! I got some strange looks, a few people tried to be sympathetic, I guess they thought I was going through chemo and a couple of times people forced me to take their seat on the bus . . . I did explain why my head was shaved but they made me keep the seat anyways.
And talk about a great hair style to enjoy the water parks! Slap some sunscreen on my noggin and go play.
I did have a very heartfelt talk with a woman who was going through chemo, she had a wig and a hat on – in the May heat. She thought I was very brave to shave my head, I told her she was very brave in her fight with cancer. Hopefully she at least stopped wearing the wig and stuck with a hat for the rest of her trip.
Here are a couple of photos from the Magic Kingdom.
One from the Animal Kingdom.
And one from the Garden Grill at Epcot.
And finally one last photo, taken at Typhoon Lagoon.

A Disney Vacation with Lots of Character
By Gaylin
In November 2012 I went on a Disney World vacation on my own.
Being solo meant I could take time to do things I haven't done before, like go back to the resort in the afternoon for a nap! It also meant that I could go line up for character photos without someone pulling on my arm to go on a ride or to see a show.
My first afternoon I went over to Epcot and voila, no line-up for Belle. If the Beast is with her the line up can get long quite quickly. For some reason she was all on her own so I even got to chat with
her for a moment.
Walking through the World Showcase all the way around the other side, I came across Duffy the Disney Bear. While I am not a big fan of the bear, a friend of mine is so I got in the short line and got this shot. I like the "Canada" in the background!
A couple of days later I was back at Epcot and decided to go into the Character Spot for a few photos. The original location of the Spot was under renovation so there was a temporary location set up with a great backdrop of Epcot. Here I got 3 photos, me with Mickey, Pluto and Minnie. Also while I was in the not very long line-up I got to chat with a great family and help them get their daughter to look up when it was her turn to get her photo taken.
Notice I even did the toe pointing like Minnie, I am so darn cool . . .
The Magic Kingdom was my next stop and this photo with Stitch. While there was a bit of a line-up, Stitch was being very entertaining and made it worth the wait.
And this is what happens when Stitch takes over your camera!!! The hand you see on my shoulder is Stitch’s attendant, she was laughing really hard at his antics. I sort of wish she showed up in the photo, oh well.
Then it was on to the new photo area in Fantasyland called Storybook Circus. As you can see from the very pink lighting, the lights are set for the Photopass cameras, not my point & shoot camera. I did the toe point for my photo with Daisy, she didn’t.
It looks like both Minnie and I are having pink hot flashes, we weren’t, honest.
And the Great Goofini! I complimented him on the revamp of his roller coaster, he was pleased. Thumbs Up!
I am not sure what kind of magician Donald is supposed to be, he was number 1 and I was thumbs up.
And over at the Animal Kingdom, you can now get your photo with Russell and Doug. This photo is a little blurry but I still love it.
At the Animal Kingdom when you are leaving Discovery Island and heading to Dinoland there is the Character Landing, the characters are always from Winnie the Pooh and this day they had on their Christmas garb. I was once told to always get my photo taken with Pooh because he makes everyone look skinny! At the Character Landing they rotate characters in and out for breaks so there is always characters there, waiting just for you.
Eeyore is so very huggable.
Tigger couldn’t make up his mind if we were dancing or posing so we ended up with a bit of both.
And there are my character tales for November 2012. I always get a few character photos and highly recommend that other people do as well, there has been a few times I have paid the big bucks for a Photopass picture just because it was so darn good. Usually I am happy enough with the photo that shows up on my camera, after all, I am on vacation and looking happy is what counts.
