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.

You just have to know where to look. 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.

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
