Westfest 2009 Master Planning Spreadsheet Revealed!

Will and Shannon’s proposed Westfest 2009 itinerary.  As always, it is subject to change.  But this is how it looks pre-trip.

Embrace the Planning!What is the Master Planning Spreadsheet?

The Master Planning Spreadsheet (MPSS) is how Will plans out his trip itineraries to Walt Disney World and Disneyland.  It takes into account park hours (including Extra Magic Hours), dining reservations, shows, park rehabs, and special events.  This allows Will to feel as if he can Embrace the Magic as much as possible!

It doesn’t plan out to the second park touring though.  Its purpose is to establish blocks of activity time.

It may sound obsessive.  It may sound insane!  But it works for those that use it correctly.  Ask anyone that has toured a Disney park with Will and they all agree to the funness and practicality of the Master Planning Spreadsheet.

What’s the Focus of this MPSS?

Although we’re going for DPN Westfest, this trip is still a family vacation.  We don’t have an opportunity to visit Disneyland very often so we need to find a good balance between Westfest  meets and family park time.

We might be able to make more Westfest meets.  We might not be able to make Rope Drop every morning or stay until park close every night.

But this is the plan pre-trip.  More likely, this is the hope of what we can accomplish on the trip.  As time and circumstances dictate, plans change so things could get dropped or added.

Are You Attending Westfest?

You should be attending!!  We hope to see you in the park.  Especially at the  meets hosted by the Magic Never Ends and the Travelears! Those are sure to be most fun!!!

Visit DPNWestfest.com for more information, including event schedules and media from past Westfests.

Unfortunately, we probably will be unable to add you to any dining reservations, but we would encourage you to make your own reservations!

Aly & AJ show off Guitar Hero and Rock Band girl guitars

September 24, 2008

Aly & AJ showing off their Rock Band/Guitar Hero guitars

Aly & AJ are getting their own Guitar Hero and Rock Band girly guitars. The guitar peripherals will be available in mid-October 2008 for Wii & PS2 and will cost $69.99.

Pre-Order the Guitar Hero World Tour band kit on WiiThe girls appeared on the E! Network (Entertainment Television) and although brief, the girls do talk about their love for Guitar Hero and show off their guitars; whose look was actually designed by the teen pop star sisters themselves. So the duet can now add “video game guitar co-designers” to their growing list of accomplishments that includes: acting, song writing, singing and guitar playing (yes they do actually play real guitar), among other things (like shooting guns: see video at very bottom).

And why not? As a new study has shown, 97% of American youth play video games, and that includes 94% of girls. So it’s fitting that companies should develop guitar peripherals that girls would be more inclined to pick up.

And since Aly (real name: Alyson Renae “Aly” Michalka) & AJ (real name: Amanda Joy “AJ” Michalka) are young themselves (one is 17 the other is 19) it’s only fitting that their new guitars are aimed at a younger audience.

Here is a breakdown of each guitar.

Aly’s Guitar

Features a heart and cross bone print with a pink and brown colored guitar.

Aly's Guitar Hero guitar.

strong>AJ’s Guitar

The shape of the guitar mirrors that of the Aly & AJ “heart” logo in bright pink with a purple zebra print.

AJ's Guitar Hero/Rock Band Guitar

The guitars are being designed by video game accessory company PDP (Performance Designed Products). As stated above, they are for PS2 and Wii which means that they SHOULD work with both Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero 4 World Tour and one would presume they might also work with the PS3 versions of both games.

In addition, one of the guitars is designed specifically for tweens ages 8 to 12, while the other is for teens and older.

And just for fun, here is a video showing the girls shooting guns. For their Dad’s birthday, they went to the shooting range! Check out the video from the trip and watch them hit a bullseye… You DO NOT want to mess with Aly & AJ!
