Exploring Disney: Getting a Kiss Goodnight from Magic Kingdom

If you have ventured to the World before, what type of Disney vacationer are you? Slow and lazy? Or fast and crazy?

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know exactly the type my family falls into. We are definitely not the ones to take a slow approach to touring and we are even more definitely not the type to take a long break in the middle of the day. The way we think of it is if we wanted to sit around by a pool for hours, we’d just go to the local water park back home. We’re in Disney, so we want to be enjoying our Disney magic. Which means we try to squeeze every drop possible out of our days. Now, I’m not going to tell you we’re rope drop people. I’m a rope drop people. I LOVE getting a super early start and being one of the first people to greet a park in the morning. (Have you ever heard that blissful welcome message and music?) Read more

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.

It’s a world of laughter.

It’s a world of tears.

It’s a world of hopes.

It’s a world of fears.

There’s so much that we share,

That it’s time we’re aware

It’s a small world after all. Read more

Exploring Disney: Getting Classic at the Circus

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
