To continue the pirate life experience we will also be heading to the Disney Archives to learn about the history of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” attraction then topping off the day at Disneyland so we can experience the ride firsthand!
Pirates of the Caribbean is considered by many to be one of the most spectacular attractions ever created for a theme park. Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, the adventures continue in Southern California! The attraction was originally conceived as a wax museum and a walk-through exhibit. But following the success of Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, Walt Disney and his team of Imagineers decided that Audio-Animatronics—Walt’s latest animation technology—was the most imaginative way to tell a rousing pirate story. On March 18, 1967, Pirates of the Caribbean opened at Disneyland Park. Thanks to the many highly detailed scenes, lavish special effects and memorable characters, the attraction earned rave reviews and has remained a beloved classic, even spawning its own blockbuster film series!
I have ridden the ride at both Disneyland and Disney World…It never gets old and can’t wait to experience it again after learning about all the behind the scenes info.

Based on the bestselling novel by master storyteller Nicholas Sparks, THE LONGEST RIDE centers on the star-crossed love affair between Luke, a former champion bull rider looking to make a comeback, and Sophia, a college student who is about to embark upon her dream job in New York City’s art world. As conflicting paths and ideals test their relationship, Sophia and Luke make an unexpected connection with Ira, whose memories of his own decades-long romance with his beloved wife deeply inspire the young couple. Spanning generations and two intertwining love stories, THE LONGEST RIDE explores the challenges and infinite rewards of enduring love.
Starring: Britt Robertson, Scott Eastwood, Jack Huston, Oona Chaplin, and Alan Alda
Directed by: George Tillman, Jr.

Many seniors don’t want to move. They would rather stay at home, as opposed to living in a care home. Because of this, you must make sure that your loved one’s property is equipped for their needs. There are many helpful home upgrades and changes that you could make. An accessible shower and fall alarms are just two additions that would do a world of good, preventing an injury.
Look Into Meal Delivery
Good nutrition is essential for all people, especially older adults. However, many seniors don’t have enough energy or patience to prepare healthy meals for themselves every day. Thankfully, there is a simple solution. A meal delivery service would bring warm meals straight to your loved one’s door. Other services deliver a week’s worth of meals that only need to be microwaved.
Speak With An Expert
Different elderly people have different needs. Your loved one, for example, might suffer from a neurodegenerative disease, like Alzheimer’s. Rather than attempt to deal with this alone, you should contact experts, like a mental health treatment center. Although there isn’t a cure for Alzheimer’s, there are treatment options that could help to manage the condition better.
Encourage An Active Lifestyle
An active lifestyle would benefit seniors much like anyone else. Unfortunately, many of us assume that elderly people need more rest. Although that is true in some cases, physical activity is also important. Because of this, you should encourage your loved one to exercise. Swimming, tennis, and hiking are just a few workouts that your loved one could try out for themselves today.

Must watch this DVD is…this DVD combines two of my favorite things…legos & star wars! Disney and Lucasfilm have released a DVD collection for LEGO Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles. If you’re familiar with any of the animated LEGO movies or shows, you have an idea what this is like. You get a mix of seeing all your favorite Star Wars characters, in LEGO form, combined with the humor you would expect in a LEGO show.
I sat down to watch this while the boys were at school, and found myself giggling and into every bit!
The DVD consists of four 23-minute episodes. Each continuing the story from the episode before it. While the first episode does feature a sort of flashback to the time right after Episode III, the main story takes place after the events of Episode IV. The idea is to find the Jedi Holocrons so Luke Skywalker can continue his Jedi training. The problem is, he’s not the only one after them. Darth Vader is also trying to locate them as well.
After headstrong Luke nearly delivers the good guys into Palpatine’s clutches, Master Yoda and the ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi unearth the Holocrons – last remnants of the secrets of the Jedi – to further Luke’s training. But Darth Vader also seeks the Holocrons, and he’ll stop at nothing to get to them first! Meanwhile, courageous superclone Jek-14, a Force-sensitive clone, comes out of retirement to help bolster the Rebels. Share all the action-packed thrills of these interlocking, intergalactic adventures in LEGO® STAR WARS: The New Yoda Chronicles!
Episode IV: Escape from the Jedi Temple (23:00)
The heroes need to escape from Vader and Star Destroyers. Flashback to right after Episode III. Obi-Wan,Yoda, and Bail Organa have to retrieve the Jedi Holocrons from the Jedi Temple so Luke can be trained.
Episode V: Race for the Holocrons (22:59)
The Holocrons have been hidden but someone else might find it before Luke. We see some familiar locations. Han goes to Dagobah, Luke returns to Tatooine and comes across Watto.
Episode VI: Raid on Coruscant (23:01)
Vader has to head back to Tatooine. Jek-14 arrives to help Luke and the others. A mission is set up to journey to Coruscant to try to retrieve the Holocrons.
Clash of the Skywalkers (23:01)
Luke’s death is faked to throw off Darth Vader. Han, Chewie, and C-3PO go to Hoth to set up a new base for the Alliance. Luke tries to make sense of the Holocron crystal he has.
Bonus Material
Alternate Ending: “Clash of the Skywalkers” (1:51)
I really enjoyed this DVD and I know the boys will too! It had a good story with plenty of comedy.
LEGO Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles was released on September 15 & retails for $19.99 but I’ve seen it available for as low as $16.95. Star Wars and LEGO fans should definitely check this out.

One of the best ways to look after yourself is to think about your diet, as this will have an impact on your both fitness and your overall physical health. Whether this means changing your diet completely or switching up a couple of things, you need to ensure you’re eating healthy as often as you can. Whilst that doesn’t mean limiting yourself every single day, it does mean you need to be mindful. For a guide to eating healthy and how it can affect your health, you can visit this site here.
– Exercise As Often As You Can
Another great way to look after your physical health in the new year is to ensure you’re exercising as often as you can. Whether that means walking to work or going to the gym three times a week, the more exercise you’re doing the better you’re going to feel. If it helps motivate you, you might want to consider hiring a personal trainer to advise you.
– Work With A Personal Trainer
As mentioned above, working with a personal trainer is one of the best ways to ensure you’re looking after yourself to the best of your ability. Not only will they be able to tell you what you should be eating, but they will also be able to put together an exercise plan that will work.
– Get Regular Check-Ups
If you think you’re struggling when it comes to certain areas of your fitness, you may need to go for regular check-ups with a specialist. Whether this means seeing an orthopedic surgeon about an ongoing issue or seeing someone who can help with cardiac health, you need to put your health first. Whilst they may mean limiting the exercise you do overall, they will be able to advise you on the best route to take.
