Survival Plan=Disney Quotes and Coffee

I hit snooze one too many times. My main idea and supporting details lesson didn’t go exactly how I had envisioned. Actually it was quite the disaster. I survived my work day only to come home to war. My children couldn’t get along for five seconds. Seriously, all I wanted was a few glorious moments of silence. After patiently counting down to bedtime,  I was basking in my relief that they were finally tucked in bed, only to be interrupted by the sound of my daughter throwing up all over her bed. Thankfully my children’s obsession with Disney movies saved the day. I thought I would share a few of the quotes the popped in my head throughout the day.

Sick Day=Disney Marathon

My holiday break started with a super sick little person. We decided that since we were cooped up in the house all day, it was prime time for a Disney Marathon.

Our top five Disney movies to watch while sick:

 

  1. Frozen

She has every line memorized, so the little medicated naps didn’t phase her in the least.

Fearless optimist Anna sets off on an epic journey, teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff and his loyal reindeer Sven, to find her sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.

 

 

  1. Aladdin– Aladdin is currently in the vault.

Our favorite street rat! The genie is a source of endless giggles. 

 

When street rat Aladdin frees a genie from a lamp, he finds his wishes granted. However, he soon finds that the evil has other plans for the lamp — and for Princess Jasmine. But can Aladdin save Princess Jasmine and his love for her after she sees that he isn’t quite what he appears to be?

  1. Robin Hood

My childhood favorite! Nostalgia creeps in every time I hear the rooster’s voice. I can hear my dad whistling Roger Miller’s ¨Whistle Stop¨ through the house.

Experience the fun, thrills and celebrated music of this legendary adventure with perfect picture and sound. Join Robin Hood, his trusted companion Little John and his hilarious band of Merry Men as they outfox greedy Prince John to save the good people of Nottingham. Dashing from one daring deed to the next, Robin won’t rest until he wins the hand of Maid Marian and restores King Richard to the throne. With the voice talents of Brian Bedford, Phil Harris, Peter Ustinov, Pat Buttram, George Lindsay, Monica Evans, Andy Devine, Terry Thomas, and the music of balladeer Roger Miller.

 

 

  1. Tangled

We named our Rottweiler Maximus. After the 100th time of watching this movie, I still get sucked in. I seriously enjoy it every time it is on the television. 

The fairy-tale of Rapunzel is brought to life in Disney’s vibrant animated classic. When a bandit hides in a tower, the last thing he expects to find is a girl with an unusual superpower – seventy feet of magical golden hair!

 

 

  1. Moana

Oh the concerts! The four year old has every song memorized and is ready to break out in song and dance at any moment (even with a temperature over 102). 

During her journey, Moana (Auli`i Cravalho) meets the once mighty demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson), and together they cross the ocean on a fun-filled, action-packed voyage,encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and impossible odds. Along the way, Moana discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity.
