Disney Dreamworks Event (Post Winnie the Pooh Hangover)

I just stumbled in.

It's 3 a.m. Eastern time, midnight Pacific.

Nope. Wasn't out partying. I'm in my yoga pants.

We went hiking.


It was awesome.

For 2 days I've been staring out my window up at those beautiful hills wondering how I can go hike them and my friend Marisa whom I like to call "Martha" just because when she says her own name Marisa she sounds like she's saying "Martha" so to me and forevermore her name is "Martha. Anyway, she mustve read my brainwaves because she called me and asked me if I wanted to!

It was like I "Secreted" it in or something.

So we did. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
A day which started out at Disney Animation Studios and a screening of Winnie the Pooh which I cannot wait to blog about (which comes out July 15th.)

I don't think I have ever learned so much about a movie from beginning to end than I have this movie. And Disney in general. I mean, I brought a 5 x 7 pad to take notes, and I filled it.

So after Winnie the Pooh, we learned how to draw alien "Piglet" with a giant bulbous head. I mean we learned how to draw Piglet and it turned out like an alien with a giant bulbous head.

Then we got to voice Piglet and I actually sounded like Grandma Piglet, but that's ok, it was really really fun.

Channeling my inner Piglet

We met Spongebob. Ohmigod he's so cool. Spongebob (Tom Kenny) played Rabbit in Winnie the Pooh and he is HILARIOUS. I kept waiting for him to say, "Crabby Patty" but he never did.

And we met Winnie the Pooh (Jim Cummings), too, who is also Tigger.

There is just so so much more, pictures and fun facts like, did you know Piglet's outfit is actually a onesy?

Betcha didn't know that!

Anyway, it is late. I can't wait to blog about the inner workings of Disney Animation!

Later today (when you're reading this), we're screening "The Help" which I am really, really excited about. (I really wish I had finished the book, I am just over halfway through, but it's an amazing and very quick read.)

And then we get to see Cars 2! Hooray! I canNOT wait for Cars 2.

Don't tell my kids though mkay?

Having a great time and loving meeting all these awesome people, bloggers included!
