I wasn’t even sure if it would be repairable or if that would be the last time I was in my car.  And as the wrecker was getting into position to haul away my car, I was out there trying to scrape off my Disney Vacation Club sticker, pull off my Annual Passholder magnet, and make sure I had my Cinderella Castle antenna topper that hangs around my rearview mirror.  My husband, on the other hand, was taking the blankets, clothes, and the snow scraper out of my car.

A Disney Day in Chicago

 For most people, the ideals of the holiday season center on spending time with friends and family.  My husband and I found a way to incorporate Disney magic into a day trip with our extended family to downtown Chicago.  Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry currently has an exhibit titled “D23 Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives” which runs through May 4.  We were also lucky enough to go while they also had their “Christmas of the World and Holiday of Lights” display which includes a 45 foot tree with Mickey flair.  Read more

New Holiday Twist on a Disneyland Favorite

          

As I was catching up on the daily Disney news on the Disney Parks Blog, there was a video demo  for the Strawberry Twist from “Maurice’s Treats” in Disneyland. Many of you know I wrote about this food cart in a previous blog. I wasn’t real thrilled with their choices of treats given the theme of the cart. However, I watched the video and the twists looked really good and easy to make. Read more
