Hello there Disney Friends! Happy Saturday and Happy Weekend! As we deal with record-
setting heat here in the U.S., I hope those of you who are in the middle of the heat wave are managing to stay cool! Wish I could send Mickey Bars and Dole Whips to all of you! But since I can’t, the next best thing is to share some “cool” Disney blog posts. So grab a glass of lemonade, find a nice air-conditioned spot, and enjoy the best from our Disney friends around the blogosphere! 🙂 Read more
Greetings Disney Friends! It’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve had a Disney blog round-up, since last week we were in the middle of our Disney Memories Giveaway. What fun that was, reading the wonderful memories from our writers…and from all of you! Thank you so much for participating and sharing such special moments in your lives: that’s what Disney is all about, isn’t it? 🙂
Here are just a few of my favorite blog posts from the past TWO weeks. Hope you enjoy!
