Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom in Disney World

As a Floridian, Disney gave us a special annual price to get into Disney World Theme Parks. This pass is very convenient because we can get in anytime we want, any parks we like, and any day we love to visit. With our pass, we selected weekdays and avoid the weekend crowd. When my husband worked at the airport, Disney gave them a FREE annual hospitality pass but, since both of us were working at that time, we seldom used it. Anyway, last week was our fourth visit this month and we intend to just go in one park and in one area. This time, we explore Tomorrow Land at Magic Kingdom. If you say, Disney Land, that's in California while Disney World is in Florida. We went to Magic Kingdom at Disney World and we decided to explore only one area which is Tomorrow land. It is located on the right side of Main Street USA. Here is the entrance of Tomorrow land and there are 8 attractions that you and your family can enjoy in this area. The attractions are: Monsters, Inc Laugh Floor, Stitch's Great Escape, Buzz Light year's Space Ranger Spin, Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress, Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover, Astro Orbiter, Space Mountain and Tomorrow Speedway. My personal favorite is the Speedway, Transit Authority and Space Mountain. Go check it out. The picture above is the Main Street USA and the huge building ahead is the Cinderella Castle. On the right is the Tomorrowland. People like to stay on this street to watch the fireworks at night and see the parades too. If you are standing on the Cinderella Castle forecourt along the Main Street USA, the picture above is what you will gonna see. The buildings are Casey's Corner, Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, The Plaza Restaurant, and Main Street Bakery. The entrance of Tomorrowland, is in the left side of where I was.

Horseback Riding Activities

Have you seen the movie "War Horse"? I am curious about the movie especially when I read this tag line: Separated by war, tested by battle and bound by friendship. I wanted to see the movie so; I ordered a DVD. This is the story of Albert and his amazing and steadfast horse Joey, whose faithful bond cannot be shaken by the test of time. Joey is sold to the cavalry and sent off to the most horrifying aspects of WW I. I do not like war movies but, since War Horse is adapted from a children's' novel, this is a good movie to see. Written by an excellent children's' literature author, Michael Morpurgo, no doubt that this movie is worth watching for.

Last year, I treat my nephews to a horse museum. We enjoyed taking pictures while they pet the horses and as we did the horseback riding activities in the nearby lot. It was a fun day. We had a comfortable ride but, I am not sure if we were sitting on a Pessoa saddles, though it looks like it.

Horseback riding is a very challenging and interesting hobby to pursue. If it is your hobby, are you planning to buy accessories for your horseback riding activities? You can click the links above to find the Websites where you can buy the things that you need.

An Efficiency House

When we saw this efficiency room listed as foreclosure, we immediately bid to buy it. It is very small but, for a single individual who has nothing, this place is a good property to rent. That is the main reason why we wanted to buy this property. We have a sure renter and besides, this property is very affordable. After waiting for almost two months, we bought this property and in a week, we have a renter. This is a good rental income property.We have extra kitchen appliances at home so, we decided to bring it all here and the renter was happy. This place is small but, since she does not have big appliances so; she was contented with the space. I do not know what she does either spreadbetting or not, if she can pay good, that's all that matters. This is an efficiency house with a good size kitchen and a nice bathroom with bath tub. It has a screened porch and the parking space is very convenient, right outside the property.Hubby and I loves this property because it is easy to maintain.
There is an attic that the renter can use for extra storage. Most of the people who owns this type of property used it for vacation house especially when they visit Disney World. Anyway, if you find an efficiency property with a good price, buy it. Here in Orlando, you can rent a place like this for $450-$550. Make sure that the HOA fee is low, and the property is in a good location.

Coupons Coupons Coupons

Hello everyone! I am a newbie with couponing and this week will be my second. I am doing good last week because I bought Coca Cola and Pepsi Products for $30 dollars ( 12 cases) plus, I have a $10 coupon which I can use for this week. That would mean, 12 cases for $20 only! That soda can last for many months. One case usually priced at $4.45 right? Anyway, this week I found this at Walgreens:And I found this coupon in my Sunday paper: If I use my $10 coupon last week, I have a $3 change right? Plus, I will have another rewards coupon worth $5. Therefore, for these two Fever Reducer meds, it will cost $1 each! A savings for $10. I am enjoying my couponing so far!

Natural House Products

Two days ago, I got these products from the mail and since I was doing some "clean-up" mood this week, I gave these Natural House products an application test. I started with Flushy which is a toilet bowl cleaner but, this product is also good to use for drain and septic treatment. When I tossed the flushy pack in the toilet bowl, in few seconds I noticed the blue granules started to react in the water as it formed a foamy action. I leave it for a minute then, started to brushed the thin circular stain which I think was a calcium deposit. When I flushed the water, there was a big difference because the stain was fading. The toilet bowl is a lot cleaner like a sparkling clean so; I am confident that this product is good. Considering that this is my first usage, I believe that Flushy really cleans. I still have 3 packets left so; I have no doubt about it

The second product that I used was the Sinky. Oh, I just like what I saw when I tossed the pro biotic packet into the disposal. I saw the foamy reaction because there was the white granules scattered near the opening of the disposal. This product supposed to scrub and digest the odors inside the disposal. I know it works alright because I do not smell any bad odors coming from our disposal.

The last product of Natural House that I used was the Trashy. Of course, you know what it is for and this product is Eco-friendly, non-toxic, biodegradable and phosphate free. Though we have disposal, there are times that we throw food craps in the trash can. Having Trashy would help eliminate the bad odors from our trash can.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Hey, do you want to try these Natural House products for FREE? Leave your comments below and one LUCKY WINNER will be chosen randomly. Go ahead, tell me why you want this product? Sponsored by Tomoson.com

At Panera Bread and Our Random Activities For the Day

Here I am again, posting pictures of food. Panera Bread is my favorite place to hang out for one good reason, the food is great. Their bread and pastries are delicious. "Swak sa panlasang pinoy" LOL. Aside from that, this place has Wi-fi and their staffs are friendly. Hubby and I went to Panera Bread today after we pick-up some clothes given by our friend. They wanted to donate some clothing's to the flood victims of Cagayan de Oro (re: Storm Washi). We got three bags of assorted clothing's and this will be given specifically to Baranggay Consolacion.Anyway, hubby and I decided to drive down to Panera Bread at the Millenia Mall. We ordered from the Pick-Two menu and have these bakery foodies for take out. Our friend has tickets for NBA games which contain coupons. He gave us three coupons for pick-two choices and that's worth $6.99/order, not bad huh? We still have two more coupons to use for our next visit.From Panera Bread, we went to finish our banking chores then, we proceed to the airport to see the Air Force One airplane. President Obama visited Orlando today and gave his speech at Magic Kingdom at Disney World. We know that the Air Force One was parked at the back of the airport of MCPO so, we went there.I do not have a good picture of the Air Force One but, it's no big deal. We were there to see the event and it was fun observing the traffic and the people who are trying to get a glimpse of President Obama.

Enough Junk!

Posted by Gaylord Campbell:

I am so tired of walking to the mailbox, only to return with a handful of bills. They never seem to end! It has almost become trivial that the mail contains anything but junk or bills. Letters and postcards have become a thing of the past. The only person that I ever even get letters from anymore is my 86-year old grandmother. I even noticed this holiday season that we received fewer Christmas cards than we did last year. In an attempt to make the bills appear less frequently, my husband and I have tried bundling as many services as possible. We checked out wildblue special bundles for all of our communication needs. My hope is that between combining many of our home services and switching to online bill pay for as many of our monthly bills as possible, the trip to the mailbox won’t be quite so painful. Of course if we don’t receive paper bills in the mail anymore, the box will simply become a dumping ground for the inevitable junk mail that never ceases.

Stanchions are Necessary for Crowd Control

When we went to Disney World, stanchions are everywhere. Most of them are heavy duty as shown in the picture below. I vividly remember when we went to see Finding Nemo at Animal Kingdom, there was a long winding line of excited crowd. It came to a point that children behind us were restless and they were running around. I was relieved to see the Disney staff put the velvet rope behind me to cut the line. Then, they tried to move the next set of people a bit distant from us. We later found out that there were two shows left for that afternoon and they are trying to inform those at the end of the line that they cannot accommodate everyone.

Stanchions are made for crowd control. Every establishment has the responsibility to maintain the safety of the customers and guests. If barricades are needed, they can use it to make sure that everything is organized and safe.

These products are available in camelbackdisplays.com, a one-stop shopping destination for all crowd control products such as belt stanchions, barrier systems, pipe and drape, public signage, safety and crowd barriers, and more. Check it out to see all their products. You might need them in your business and event activities.

Quick Rants

It is just so funny that every time I checked on the pages of my blogs, I always find few out-of-topic comments. Of course, I did not publish them. It's very obvious that there are people out there who are working for few pennies by leaving comments with links. Bloggers will not allow that. My advise to them is to do blogging. Create a website either free or buy a domain. Once they have a site, they can monetize it.

They will earn 10 times more, than spending time commenting nonsense. I know that they will have tough luck with what they do now; especially most of the site owners activated the moderation for comments. I had fun time reading their redundant comments though (^o^) and I thank them for the constant visit of my blogs. Keep on coming okay?

Road Trips Toward Mobile Alabama

Our last road trip was last month, December 16, I can't forget that date. We were traveling towards Alabama while I called my mom in the Philippines. The tropical storm Washi hit Northern Mindanao and devastated my hometown, Cagayan de Oro City. It's been almost a month now but, so many pictures that I took from our road trips were kept in my files. It's high time to share it now. You will pass this tourist attraction if your route is along the Florida Coast. The building is the WONDER WORKS and the boat is the Ripley's Believe it or Not in Panama City.The picture below is in Mobile, Alabama.

Garmin Nuvi 1390LMT

For three years, we are using Magellan GPS. I saw this Garmin nuvi 1390LMT 4.3 GPS with Traffic and Lifetime Map Update package. This is a good deal because when I bought it, the price is 40% off. I saved $100 for paying 60% of the toal amount. Yes! Do the math now,LOL! Just like our Magellan GPS, this gadget is 4.3 inches. A portable GPS Navigator with up-to-date turn-by-turn directions, with lifetime maps and traffic updates. This lane assist GPS also comes with a junction view, pedestrian navigation options and ecoRoute to calculate a more fuel-efficient route. This GPS features hands-free calling that allows easier access while driving. It has voice prompts with turn-by-turn directions. It has speed limit indicator for most major roads in the U.S. and Europe. It also features lane assist and the battery is rechargeable lithium ion with up to 4 hours life. This is my gift for my husband last Christmas and hubby loves it.

Disney Cruise Line

Did you know that the cheapest price for a Disney Cruise Getaway is $450/person. That is not a good deal for me but, I keep an eye every time they sent me a notification email alert. I took these pictures at Port Canaveral while hubby and I were in Cocoa Beach having dinner in one of the restaurants in the area.I am curious about the Private Island of Disney in Castaway Cay, that is the reason I am wishing that someday I can take this cruise. Disney Cruise Line consists of: Disney Dream which is a new ship, Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, and Disney Fantasy.The usual ports of call for Disney Dream, Disney Magic and Disney Fantasy is Port Canaveral and these cruise ship sail towards the Caribbean. There are times that it will depart from Texas. and California. The most expensive price is $2,700 per person. That is really expensive huh?

Walgreens and Express Scripts

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

As a customer of Walgreens, I was saddened by the latest dispute between Walgreens and Express Scripts. I do not have any prescription with them but, I have friends who are members of Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens. They are greatly affected and caught in the middle by this dispute. They love the service which is provided by Walgreens Pharmacy because they can access their prescriptions anytime.

My friends were forced to transfer  to another pharmacy which is very inconvenient. It is truly a hassle because they are used to the affordable price of their prescriptions at Walgreens. Here is the Press Release of the dispute: Express Scripts Programs.

I am hoping that big companies such as Express Scripts will re-evaluate their decisions and should focus for the common good especially for the patients. Some of my friends are not happy about this news and when it comes to their prescriptions, they are at  the losing end.

Another thing, I applaud Walgreens for showing support for the troops who have Tricare as their health and prescription drug program.  Walgreens wanted to match the average costs per adjusted prescription from other pharmacies under Tricare Network. But, Express Scripts rejected all the offers presented by Walgreens. The men and women in uniform are affected greatly by this rejection.

How about you? Do you have prescriptions from Walgreens? What is your opinion about this sad news? Please like and  follow Walgreens on Twitter and Walgreens on Facebook, and express your opinion about the insensitivity of Express Scripts. Walgreens wanted to help by offering a great discount on the annual membership for the Prescription Savings Club.  How about you?

Live Healthy and Happy

I am not a health conscious person. I eat what I want. I do not count the calories on the box when I do my grocery. I have no vices and I believe that I am a very healthy person. With this statement, I also know that I am not immune to diseases. I am aware that I lack some of the daily dietary count that is needed for my body. That is why; I have a vitamin as well as natural dietary & nutritional health supplements too. All of us need to improve our immune system that is why we need to take nutritional supplements.

Anyway, I hope we can maintain the dietary count that is needed to live a healthy life. When we are healthy, it reflects our disposition of life, and it is the greatest gift of life. What else do we need? It is like a domino effect and being healthy means a happy life.

I just do not know for now if I can add my medicine expenses in my 1099 form. What do you think?

Tim Tebow and Demaryius Thomas: 11 Seconds Win From Broncos

To all the NFL FOOTBALL fans out there, are you still in daze for the awesome game between BRONCOS AND STEELERS? Have you seen the game last night? The Broncos pull it together winning the Over Time in just 11 seconds on the OT game! I was losing hope since Broncos score maintained at 20 for most of the time plus another 3pts while Pittsburgh Steelers able to raised their score from 6 to 20. They tied it to Broncos at the end of the 4th quarter with 23. Tossing the coin and Broncos had the ball means a lot for the game. Tim Tebows perfect passing of the ball to Demaryius Thomas made the game jaw-dropping, exhilarating, and adrenalin pumping. The Broncos and Tim Tebow fans were elated out from their seats! Well, Congratulations to BRONCOS! Tim Tebow, your performance was great! Stay humble and do what you can do! To Demarius Thomas, you are the man for the win! That was an awesome 80 yards run! Of course, the whole team of Broncos, you did a great job for doing the defense and guarded your position. Matt Prater who is equally awesome for that game has the great kicks that made the scores for Broncos! Great game you guys! Stay humble and for doing the Tebowing, what a positive thing to praise God in public! That's what makes you different!

My Magic Bullet

Belated Happy three kings everyone! The days go by so quickly isn't it? How was your first week of January? I hope it was exciting, fun and fruitful. Speaking of fruits, I need volunteers to eat these all, LOL! I am on a fruit diet lately because I do not want to throw these fruits away. Good thing I have my Magic bullet which makes my special fruit drinks easy to prepare. I was making a guacamole, love it as a dip for my wavy potato chip. Here's the ingredients: ripe avocados, red onion, serrano chiles, cilantro leaves, fresh lime or lemon juice, coarse salt, tomato and a dash of black pepper.I enjoyed using my Magic Bullet. I bought it when it was on sale at Kohl's last Christmas.
Just sharing you what simple stuff that makes me happy.

Home Mortagage Loan

Are you currently paying your mortgage loan? I do too but, I applied a loan modification about three years ago and I save a lot for that decision. My monthly payment lowered about 1/4 of the total amount. I got the big bucks for my savings, right? How about you? Today is a good time to start planning and assessing your expenses. You can check out the latest offering from your lending institution if you are qualified to modify your mortgage loan. I am sure they can provide good rates for you so they can keep you.

If you think you do not save at all, you can also compare the rates from other financial institutions. As long as you have a good standing credit line, no one will say no to your application. But, if you have bad credit, do not despair because you still have an option. The home financing rates differ according to the financial institutions. For more information, just check out the links provided in here.

December 16, 2011 is a Tragic Day to Remember

December 16 is always a memorable date for Filipinos because it is the start of "Simbang Gabi" or Midnight Masses which for nine consecutive days, Filipinos eager to attend believing to gain indulgence. It is always a happy date to note but, December 16, 2011 marked a catastrophic event in the history of Cagayan de Oro City, my beloved hometown. Bagyong Sendong or Tropical Storm Washi hit Northern Mindanao and caused widespread flash floods. At 10PM, the raging flood of mud and water rises as far as 31 feet in seconds. Caught off-guard, the Cagayanons living along the river banks took refuge on their roof , the trees and higher buildings. Those who woke up too late drowned inside their bungalow-styled houses. The fatality is 1, 300, more than a thousand missing and displacing 20,000 people. For the first time, affected Baranggays only experienced one Simbang Gabi. Who would ever thought that December 16, 2011 is a tragic day to remember for the rest of our lives? Thanks to NADEREV SANO for the picture shared in FB pages. Check the inspiring experience of KEISHA: A SENDONG SURVIVOR STORY.

Fresh From Florida Parade

For the last few days, Orlando acknowledged the boom of visitors coming form other states. They are actually here to watch the Capital One Game between Nebraska and South Carolina. Disney had to close some of their parks for three hours because of too many people. Anyway, right here, we are surrounded with people from other states. I heard them talking. This is the scenario before the parade. The parade will end further that road.The opening of the parade....
Here is the crowd on the opposite direction.
This is Summerlin Street along Lake Eola park in Downtown Orlando.While waiting for the parade, I took a snap of photos on this high rise building, so elegant and beautiful.
If you want to view some more photos of the parade, check out Fresh From Florida Parade. Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year.
