Exploring Disney: i’ve conquered it’s a small world

I’ve been in a pretty contemplative mood recently. I’ve been thinking a lot about life, and about the world around us. I’ve come to a few realizations that have really sunken in as I’ve gotten older.

Exploring Disney: Meet Me On the Midway

We got a couple of new toys, and left our old one behind.

Not me. Not this girl, whose daughter now plays with 30-year-old Barbies in addition to her own. Nobody left behind. That’s why today we’re heading to the Toy Story OG — Toy Story Midway Mania. Read more
