Last time we visited a Storybook Circus and took part in one of the most beloved acts — the flying elephant, Dumbo. Today, we are sticking around the circus to explore another of the acts. In this adventure we’ll join the Great Goofini on his death-defying demonstration of bravery and skill on Goofy’s Barnstormer. Read more
There are a few things that immediately come to mind when thinking about Classic Disney. Cinderella and her missing glass slipper. Peter Pan and Tinker Bell soaring off to Neverland. Jiminy Cricket. And, of course, Mickey Mouse.
For me, and many others, one that always makes me smile is Dumbo. Now, I’m not going to lie and tell you I love the movie. I don’t. It makes me cry. But I have a soft spot for Dumbo himself, and my little one has a love for both elephants in general, and this particular big-eared fellow. Read more
You’ve heard the old cliche about the the doctors who can only imagine their children will follow in their footsteps and be doctors or lawyers, only to have them become artists. Well, my family is the opposite. Hubby and I are both artists, making our living with writing, dancing, acting, and voice artistry, so we imagined our little princess growing up loving all things art. Of course she wants to be a scientist and doctor.
While this isn’t exactly our path in life, we want her to be her little self, so we encourage her to learn whatever she wants to — which is great since she’s homeschooled. One topic she is particularly interested in is dinosaurs. She has loved them since she was just bitty, and continues to think they are just amazing. Since we’ve been going to Disney, I’ve been looking forward to bringing her on Dinosaur, and when we go in September, the time will finally be here! Read more
Planning a Disney vacation is one of the great joys of my life. I love getting down to the nitty-gritty with all the little details, having my days mapped out in front of me, and thinking about everything from what our room is going to look like, to what snacks we’ll discover, to when I’m climbing aboard my favorite rides. A big part of this, of course, is dreaming about my resort hotel. For others, all this planning and preparing sounds more like a nightmare.
Now what if we could combine both? Let’s go explore a fabulous, dreamy resort that is a true nightmare. I invite you to join me at Hollywood Studios and enter…the Twilight Zone. You can imagine me saying that in the deep Ron Sterling voice should you so wish. I so wish…so go ahead. Read more
The time has come. We’ve explored Main Street, blasted through Tomorrowland, splashed Under the Sea, dug for gems. These are adventures I love, but they are just supplements to my real heart when it comes to the Magic Kingdom. If you’ve been with me for a while, you won’t be surprised by this reveal. If you haven’t, it’s a great way to get to know me. Either way, get comfy. We’re going deep into the far back corner of the park, where a mysterious house stands, a relic from the past that welcomes you to explore — and maybe to stay.
We’re visiting the Haunted Mansion. Read more
