Have you ever been at a Disney park or resort and spot something that looks like Mickey and think: “What a coincidence?” It’s not a coincidence at all. Disney does not have coincidences, everything has been extremely well thought out and planned. These Mickey silhouettes are hidden Mickeys that have been strategically placed throughout the property. You just have to know where to look. Read more
I just got back from my most recent trip to the happiest place on earth, this time for a different reason then usual. Most often people visit Disney to go to the parks and enjoy a vacation. What some people may not realize is that Disney has a sports location that can host competitions and spring training. It was there, at the ESPN Wide World Of Sports that I spent most of my time on my most recent trip. Read more
When you have to limit your diet because of allergies or other dietary issues it can be hard to go out to eat, especially when on vacation. I feel for you, I have been on a few different diets that restricted me from eating certain foods. I have done dairy free, lactose free, and gluten free. I know the headache that can be trying to find places to eat in new locations let alone around where you live. I also know the pain of eating something you are allergic to and the suffering that comes along with it. The one place I know that I can go to and feel safe with what I eat is Disney, which continues to change and grow each and every time I go so that I can try new things and never grow bored. Read more
With Thanksgiving come and gone and Christmas right on our doorstep why not get into the Christmas spirit with a little thought of Disney holiday cheer. Many of us will not have the opportunity to go to Disney for the holidays season.

It’s no question, when you’re not at Disney you miss it. Even when you just leave the property gates! So it’s no wonder many people do everything they can to keep Disney in their lives even when they can’t be there. I am no different. Some may have thought that since I worked there I would be tired of it (I know, blasphemy!). That just isn’t the case. When I worked at Disney I was still in the parks on my days off. If I didn’t go into a park I at least made it to Downtown Disney and I did not get sick of it one bit! To this day I tell everyone who asks, that working at Disney was the best job I have ever had. When I retire from teaching I plan on going back down to Orlando and working at Disney again. So is it any wonder that I would incorporate as much Disney in my daily life as possible? Read more
