Introducing the Colortopia Exhibit at INNOVENTIONS at Epcot® + a $100 Giftcard Giveaway

by on 2,154 Comments

Last week, I hopped on a plane for a whirlwind, fast-paced, less than 24 hour trip to the Walt Disney World® Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.  It was a quick trip, that’s for sure, but there was an exciting premise behind it.

Y’all, Glidden is sponsoring an exhibit at INNOVENTIONS at Epcot®!  And I got to be there for the grand opening!

I flew in late Thursday night in anticipation of the ribbon cutting ceremonies before the park opened on Friday morning.  If you have ever been to Walt Disney World® Resort, you may known that INNOVENTIONS is located near the base of the Epcot® icon, the Spaceship Earth geodesic sphere.  This sight never ceases to amaze me.

Inside the exhibit, we were treated to the fullWalt Disney World® Resort experience.  The opening was full of vivid color and magic – and the famous mouse couple in the world were on hand to usher us into Colortopia.

Counting Down to the Holidays with At Home

This post brought to you by At Home. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Makely School for Girls.

I always get a little exhausted when I see Christmas decorations hit the stores in September.  It’s too early, right?  What about Halloween?  What about Thanksgiving?  But then, I start to panic that all the really cute stuff will be gone before Halloween, so I need to get a move on it immediately.

I had the exact same thought process when I walked into my favorite At Home store this past week.  It’s not time!  It’s still pumpkin season!  Oh, wait!  That’s amazing!  I better buy that before someone else snaps it up!  The struggle is real, y’all.

Okay, so don’t freak out on me, you guys, but I bought some At Home Christmas Decor in October.  We have so much going on in the next two months, that I decided to just get a jump on it when I had time.  I have never jumped into the holidays before Thanksgiving, but last year we had virtually no Christmas decorations in our home.  I think we put up a tree a few days before Christmas, and that was it since we were so busy.  As with everything I do, it’s either feast or famine.  I do it 100% or not at all.

So, I went ahead and decorated our master bedroom.

GASP!  I know.  But it looks so fun!

Luckily, you don’t have to get started on your decorations right this minute, because At Home has a huge selection of holiday decorations – definitely the largest selection of any other retailer in my area.  And even better, they make it so easy to put together a great holiday room or beautiful tree on a small budget.  They have 15 different themes of decorations, like Snow Capped Scene, Forest Fairytales, and Cherished Memories.  You can pick one theme and go wild, or you can mix and match.  Many of the themes are shown here.…
