Disney Pixar's "Coco" asks you to "Remember Me." Will you?
We are big Pixar fans and have been intrigued by months of teasers for the movie Coco. It seemed like a movie that would have great music, a creative story line and inspirational culture. We were invited to attend a screening Thanksgiving week to go check it out and find out more about who/what is Coco?

Our Disney Hilton Head Island Trip: Canceled (Thanks Irma!)
We were supposed to be writing a review today of the Disney Vacation Club property on Hilton Head Island. We were looking forward to our long weekend reservation that we booked to attend a wedding. Well along came Hurricane Irma and the whole island was shut down. Thankfully after the storm passed some businesses started opening and our friends' wedding was on! (And a fantastic event!) Unfortunately the Disney resort never opened for us to stay at or even check it out. We lucked out snagging a last minute ocean view room at a Marriott property. It was right next to the Disney Beach house which was locked up as well when we walked by. We did had an amazing trip and enjoyed HHI a lot. We plan on going back at a future date to explore more and get some Disney magic on our next trip. Stay tuned for a review next time!

A Pirate's Life for Me: How to Party like Jack Sparrow
Completing a Master's degree definitely calls for a party. We decided the perfect inspiration would be the newest Pirates of the Caribbean movie to honor Captain Andrew's accomplishments.

Although at the end of the night we still found ourselves saying "Why is the run always gone?" Here are the party planning details...
