What Leslie had to say on Friday, May 2nd, 2008
I’m in Florida right now and at some point during this next week, I’ve promised the girls that we’ll do a Disney day. (Probably MGM because it’s their favorite.)
Anyway, I thought I’d do a little gift-by-request. Just leave a comment with your name and the name of your favorite Disney character–hero, heroine, princess, prince, villain, whatever. I’ll do my VERY best to pick up a little something with that character on it, and send it off to you, along with a book of your choice from my backlist.
Sound good?
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Leslie Kelly used to say she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up, but then she discovered Nancy Drew books. Being a flashlight-under-the-covers-nose-in-book reader throughout her childhood, she couldn’t think of anything else she’d rather do as an adult than continue to lose herself in fictional stories. Her real life marriage of 20 years to the man of her dreams is a constant reinforcement that happily-ever-afters really can happen…and that they’re worth writing about. Living in Maryland, Leslie spends her non-writing time laughing a lot with the above-mentioned romance hero and their three daughters. Though an author of more than thirty sexy, contemporary comedies, she has recently branched out to write dark romantic suspense under the pseudonym Leslie Parrish.

My favorite Disney character has got to be Ariel, especially since I’ve got a redheaded “mermaid” myself! Really, there’s just something so sweet about her and innocent, the way she sees life and the o around her. What’s not to love about her?
Comment
Wow that’s very cool. Hmmm, let me think. Either Ariel or Belle are my favorites.
Have a great weekend everyone :)
Comment
I have to agree with Margay I love Ariel but I also think my favorite I love the moose on Brother Bear lol My favorite Villain are the Siamese cats from Lady and the Tramp I remember when I was little singing that “We are Siamese… ” but other that that I like Hook, its that whole pirate thing. :arrr: :wave: HAPPY FRIDAY!
Comment
Oh that’s a good one Leslie! I hope you are having a great time in Disney. My favorite character is Minnie Mouse. She’s simply adorable.
TGIF everyone!
Comment
Hope you are all having a great time and that the weather is cooperating!! I am off to DC for a long weekend next week and can’t wait.
I love Cinderella. I have a small collectionn of things, but mostly I love all the different movies with the theme. The Slipper and The Rose anyone? I love the subtle sense of humor in it.
Comment
What a great idea! Hmmm . . . my favorite character is Belle.
Have a great time!
Comment
My favorite Disney character would be any from The Jungle Book.
Hope you’re have a terrific time in Florida, Janelle.
Take care all,
Cher

What fun Leslie! I have always been a Winnie the Pooh girl. As much as I like the princesses, I always go back to the bear! Have a great weekend!
Comment
Maleficent. I like her even more when she turns into the dragon.
I like Minnie Mouse but I wish she had more personality. They never really developed her character.
Enjoy Florida.
Comment
Have fun at Disney Leslie. I favorite Disney character has always been Snow White. I’ve collected Snow White and the Seven Dwarfsstuff since the first time I went to Disney World. Hope eveyone has an awesome weekend!
Comment
My favorite character is Tinker Bell. She is so pretty. Have a great weekend everyone.
Comment
My favorite character is Cinderella, such a great story
.
Comment
Have a great time!
My favorite character would be Jasmine as she is such a strong and independent woman who wants to experience life.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe week-end; I’m sure yours will be a terrific one.
Comment
My granddaughter watched the Little Mermaid and saw King Tritent and called him grandpa and saw Ursula, the Sea Witch and called her grandma…so Ursula would be my fav! :wub:
Comment
My favorite has always been Belle.
Have a fantastic time!!!!
Comment
My favorite movie is Sleeping Beauty and I love Aurora AND the witch. I know, I am bad. But honestly with a little granddaughter to love I would enjoy winning anything Disney!
Comment
I like tigger or lady and the tramp. Hope you have a great time! Everyone have a wonderful weekend. :wave:
Comment
My favorite has always been Cinderella–and not just Disney Cinderella–I’ll take just about any Cinderella. I’ve always liked the idea of the “undergirl” getting the prince.
That, and having mice and birds to make up my bed in the morning.
Comment
Hey Les, count me in…just about anything from Disney would be great for me…I have never been there, so surprise me…I hope you have a wonderful Disney day with the girls…gotta go to work now, but I will check back in later…
Peace and love,
Paula R.
Comment
Have a wonderful time! So many favorites, but MICKEY is king! :flower4you:
Comment
I love Cinderella….would have had a Cinderella themed wedding, but hubby vetoed it. I did have a Cinderella themed bridal shower, though. And, yet, I have three boys who are all about Pixar!
Comment
Donald Duck.
Comment
Karen B – MICKEY is KING, LOL No Mickey is the POPE. Not offending anyone with this story. I took my kids to Disney years ago. All I could think about was that commercial with that adorable little boy = “I want to meet the mouse.” over and over. And Mickey comes up to him in the Park. So imagine my surprise when I told someone in Disney, “I want to meet the mouse” and they said, “You have to go to the Judges house. Mickey is there.” OK. We hike across the park to the Judge’s house. Where the line in 100 degree weather is around and around and around and around. An hour and a half to meet the mouse. Who is HEAVILY GUARDED by people monitoring how many people can go into the room with Mickey at one time. I’m appalled. They were counting numbers of people and I’m like, no, you can’t split up my family I need a picture of EVERYONE WITH THE MOUSE. So they let the first group of strangers go, then us. Call me silly, but discovering that meeting Mickey is almost as hard as meeting The Pope really disappointed me. I thought he should be a walk around the park and mingle with the common people kind of mouse!
Comment
What a great gift. I am such a Disney fan that anything would make me happy. I’d say Mickey is tops. Happy Friday everyone!
Comment
My favorite character is Tinkerbelle. I remember watching Mary Martin on TV doing the play Peter Pan. When Tinkerbell was fading and Peter asked everyone to clap if you believed – and she was bright once again – well, it made a believer out of me.
Comment
Hmmm…I love Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. It’s one of my all time Fave Disney movies. I love Peter Pan as well. I LOVE all Disney movies LOL
Have a good weekend everyone!
Comment
What a great idea for a prize Leslie! My fave is winnine the pooh but I love them all disney brings out the kid in all of us . have fun!
Comment
I like so many Disney charaters hmmm….I loved The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. So anything from Belle or Ariel would be cool Leslie. Have fun and hope everyone has a great weekend.
Comment
My favorite Disney character is Tinkerbell. I loved watching the Wonderful World of Disney opening on TV and seeing Tinkerbell dart around with her magic wand. Loved it!
Comment
You got to love Mickey Mouse – Enjoy your trip! Say Hi to all the characters that you see.

I don’t have an absolute favorite Disney character because I enjoy quite a lot of them. If I’m picked, you can just surprise me. Have a great weekend!

I have been in love with Snow White for nealy 2 decades!
We went to Disney when it was Snow White’s 50th anniversary, and I have collected ever since! (I even wore my Dopey watch yesterday)

It is hard to pick one favorite character. Dumbo would be first – I love that story. Tigger would have to be second.Have a lot of fun in Florida!! Happy weekend to everyone!
Comment
Ooh, I loved MGM — but when I went, it was 1989 or 1990. . . been a while. :) Me, I love Donald Duck as number one. . . then Sleeping Beauty, the Genie from Aladdin. . . heck, anything but Mickey, I’m sooooooo not a Mickey Fan. Probably the only one out there. :)

Everyone have a great weekend.

Eeyore. Always. There’s just something so comforting about a donkey that depressed—and he’s totally okay with it!

I hope you have a wonderful day that the weather is bareable not too:hothot: for you and your family. Have a safe trip.

I have so many favorites… A few of them are Raja and Abu from Aladdin and I loved all the characters in Beauty and the Beast especially Mrs. Potts and Chip.
Comment
I love Mickey Mouse and I have my original Mickey Mouse watch my mother purchased for me in the 1950′s. I hardly wore it so it is still in very good condition.
Comment
My favorite is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I loved the scene when they were reading together.
Comment
Wow! Have fun. I am very happily envious.
My favorite character is, of course, Mickey Mouse. I wish I could find a man as wondrfully well-rounded as him.
Also, we have only went to the world once and I loved that ride at MGM through the movies…not only was it fun but long, it did not end in just 5 minutes.
Enjoy your time with the girls.
Comment
My little is Snow White during dress up and my older dd is Cinderella. Either would be a blast.Thanks for thinking of us and have fun.
Comment
Tinkerbell, because she’s got the magic pixie dust. Have a great weekend and I hope you have great weather for your Disney Day
Comment
Disney is such a magical place – a true dream come true. My favorite Disney princess has to be, hands down, Cinderella. Don’t we all wish for a Prince Xharming to come and take us away. It is a story of dreams and let’s you know that dreams really can come true. Enjoy Disney and hope you have beautiful weather….Say hi to Mickey for me….
Comment

My favorite character is Millificent. She’s awsome! I hated Ariel when The Little Mermaid came out because Ariel is my middle name and everyone pronounced it wrong. It’s Ari-elle. Not Ari-all.
:wallbash:
Comment
Have a great time! My family and I LOVE Disney World. If you are able to,get something with Patrick Dempsey from Enchanted on it. That would be awesome! If not, Belle or Cinderella would be good, too. It is so nice of you to think of us.

Being a girly girl I love all the princesses and their happy ever after stories. But I always come back to my first Disney movie I remember as a kid (ya know before there was VHS and DVD and you had to see them in the theater). Anyway… Tinkerbell rules for me! Spirited, sassy, a little vain, and loyal to end!
Have a great weekend everyone
Comment
I love Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Jasmine. All strong independent women. My first Disney film was Cinderella. I also love Finding Nemo. Actually my cat loves the movie, maybe because its fish. lol.

Oh and I can’t forget Chip and Dale, the mischievious chipmunks! We actually had two little chipmunks go down our dryer vent into our dryer one time! That was a project getting them out!
Well, you have a grand ol time!

I would have to say it’s a tie between Belle and Eeyore. I hope you have a great time at Disney! :wink:
Comment
My favorite Disney character is Sleeping Beauty because as pretty as she is – she is technically almost always forgotten, along with the little mermaid, in the Disney princess world. Most often Cinderella is the one that is thought of 1st.
Have a blast for us, too.
Comment

Hi, my favourite Disney character is Eeyore. What a wonderful remembrance winning an Eeyore would be. Saturday, May 3rd is our 33rd wedding anniversary, my husband and I drove from Toronto, Ontario Canada to Walt Disney World for our honeymoon. Hope you have a great time in Florida.
