Disney Daily Birthdays – July Exercise Challenge

[SarahDisney]

We've only got one color change today, but it's a great one!
I'm very excited to announce our first member of Epcot Pink ... sophy1996!

Looking for something pink at Epcot? If you stop at the Japan Pavilion to pick a pearl, you may get a pink surprise!

Japan's Pick-a-Pearl allows you to pick an oyster (for a fee) and keep the pearl inside. Pink is one of the many colors of pearl that you may find in your oyster - along with white, yellow, blue, and black. The pearl you take home (pink or otherwise) can be put in a setting to make a beautiful piece of jewelry.
Has anyone on the team done Pick-a-Pearl? What color did you get?

And now, back to our daily birthday.
Today we’re taking a break from birthdays to celebrate a very special anniversary. On July 13, 1925, Walter Elias Disney and Lillian Marie Bounds celebrated their wedding.

Walt and Lilly celebrating their 30th anniversary at the not-yet-open Golden Horseshoe at Disneyland

Lily and Walt met when she was hired to work in the ink and paint department at Disney Studios. They were married in 1925 in Lilly’s hometown of Lewiston, Idaho. Together they raised two children, Diane Marie Disney Miller (1933-2013) and Sharon Mae Disney Lund (adopted, 1936-1993). Walt and Lilly remained married until his death in 1966, and their partnership helped shape Disney as we know it today. In fact, it was Lily who named Mickey Mouse - Walt had originally named him Mortimer!

Happy 90th anniversary, Walt and Lilly!

That's a couple walks and a swim.

I want to pick a pearl and hope I can do it on our next trip (I also had hoped to do it last trip!). How much does it cost these days? I'm a bit worried about how much we'll be able to do this trip since it's during New Year's week. But just being in WDW is thrill enough!

53 minutes for me today - including this mornings run and some walking.

This week is going to be interesting as it is Maine International Film Festival time and I'm on the Board of the Maine Film Center. I went to the opening night film on Friday and then I went tonight and plan to see films on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. So many movies...

Tonight I saw a documentary called Archie's Betty which as about one man's quest to track down the real life inspirations for the Archie cartoons. Did anyone else read Archie comic books?

Are there people who didn't read Archie comic books?

Yay! I love that song! (I know, I'm in the minority on that one)

98 minutes so far today ... puts me at 594/1200

Just 6 minutes short of Disney's Hollywood Studios Purple ... maybe I'll try to get in another 10 minutes later.

Front page update and today's birthday will be coming soon!

That's class and a walk and last night I played pickle ball. It was so fun! I only counted half my minutes because I think the other half were spent laughing!

We're starting our day off a little late here, but we are starting with great news - color changes!

Congrats to our newest member of Disney California Adventure Blue, dglilbit.
Awesome news, team - now every single member of our time has reached at least 10% of their goal! Everyone has a color on the first page! Yay!

Congrats to our newest member of Disney's Animal Kingdom Orange, GrandAdmiralStrife!

We've also got two new members of Disney's Hollywood Studios Purple:
hmack
Rattpack

Congrats to all of our color changers (and everyone else posting those minutes!)
We've also crossed 10,000 minutes as a team, and we're only 1,958 minutes away from turning the team Disney's Hollywood Studios Purple! I know we'll hit that milestone by the end of the week, but can we do it sooner?

Today we return to celebrating birthdays just in time to make our way over to Hong Kong Disneyland for the opening of Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars.

On July 14th, 2012, Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars opened at Hong Kong Disneyland Park. This Wildest Ride in the West, located in Grizzly Gulch, starts off inside the Big Grizzly Mountain Mining Company building on California's Gold Coast. You board a mysterious mine car for an excursion in and around the old mountain ... but watch out for the three bears who inhabit the mountain (and who lead to the discovery of the mountain). When Rocky, Mother Lode and Nugget are hibernating, all is well, but when they wake up, they can create havoc, so watch out!

Happy 3rd birthday, Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars!
