As Best Friends Do

I am blessed to have met so many people over the years who love Disney. Even if it’s not as much as I do or way more than I do, it always forms a bond within my friendships. When I found out my hometown friend, Alexis, was a DVC member and annual passholder, I...

The Disney fan base has spread across so many different social media platforms, and at times it can be hard to keep track of your Twitter, Facebook, forum, and blog friends.

My Walt Disney World Christmas Display

Each December, I set up two Christmas displays. One is a traditional village, while the other is the Walt Disney World Resort. I’m proud to share a photo tour of the highlights of my WDW display this holiday season. The main castle for the Magic Kingdom is actually Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty castle, but I...

An Ode to Vanellope von Schweetz

The past two weekends have been the same for me. I’ve gone to the movies to see Paperman and Wreck-It Ralph two Saturdays in a row, and if it weren’t for the fact that Brave just came out on DVD and I need to see that again, this Saturday would’ve been more of the...

EPCOT Center’s Promise

Time is the hardest thing to measure. It’s infinite, but has enormous speed, constantly moving forward towards a goal unknown. It has no value unless we give it some. The greatest method we’ve found to do so is by creating “milestones.” Anniversaries, birthdays, marks of time that celebrate the past and raise a toast...

A Month of Pocahontas

Every now and then, there comes a time when all is right with the world, a time when it seems like all of your dreams are coming true. For me, August was one of those times, all because of my favorite Native American princess, Pocahontas. I was born in 1994, less than a year...
