You’re also going to find out that I’m a total Disney geek. I don’t know if it started with the Read-Along records (“When Tinker Bell waves her wand – bbblllliiiinnnggg – turn the page!”) or the Disneyland book my grandfather gave me around age 3, but however the innoculation happened, it was very effective. I’m happy that my kids share my passion, and I’m even happier that Portland has one of the fancy-shmancy new Imagination Park Disney Stores!
And speaking of the Store, this weekend they are helping us celebrate Platypus Day, in honor of Perry the Platypus, a character on the very popular Disney Channel show, “Phineas and Ferb.” For those of you who are new to P&F, they are very smart, very creative brothers who have a pet platypus; at least he’s a pet by day, but at night he’s a secret agent. You can get more information about the day here, then stop in the Disney Store to get your giant (about 2 feet long) Perry for just $15 Friday – Sunday. And while you’re out and about, have lunch at Subway and get a couple of Phineas and Ferb lunch bags.
Oh, and you should probably learn the Platypus dances: the Platypus Walk and the newest, OWCA (which stands for Organization Without a Cool Acronym).
Happy Platypus Day! I’d say it in platypus, but I can’t figure out how to spell that chittering noise he makes. Any help?
