John Hench’s Final Tale

When arriving at a Disney Park, we often check our notion of truth at the ticket gate.  Fanciful stories consume us and we are able to leave behind the sorrows and troubles of our everyday lives.  It is an enchantment.  It is a place where Imagineers direct our thoughts and allow us the chance to “suspend our beliefs” by immersing us in atmosphere...

Touring Disneyland’s Dream Suite- The Ultimate Goodnight Kiss

Ahhh, the sweet goodnight kiss.  It fills you with an inner warmth, and presses a memory into your heart.  It is sometimes expected and anticipated (a la the Disneyland Hotel’s Kiss Goodnight), but oft times catches you off guard, without a planned response.  And so it was at the recent Meet-Up and Fly Away at the...
