A Summer Dessert!

One of my favorite memories as a child is when Mom would make us a certain dessert in the summer. It was really quite simple to make so I thought I’d share it with you today…even though summer is almost over. First things first, you want to pick some fruit …

Mr. Popper’s Penguins

How many of you read the book Mr. Popper’s Penguins as a kid? It is the story about a man named Mr. Popper who is a house painter, and not a rich one at that. He dreams of traveling all around the world. He writes a letter to Admiral Drake …

How Star Trek: The Next Generation COULD Have Been Cast

When you think about Star Trek: The Next Generation (ST: TNG from here on out) there are a few iconic images that probably come to mind. Beyond that massive ship they introduced, the first that comes to mind for me is a bald captain. I would probably have to go with …

Tinker Bell & Vidia - Pixie Hollow - Disneyland - August 27, 2010

Vidia Joins Tinker Bell

Yesterday I stopped by Pixie Hollow real quick to see the newest addition to the pixie family. Vidia was indeed there and available for photos. Here is one that I took. I’ll upload more next week but thought you’d like to see one at least. Vidia is being added to …

The last Where’s Mr. DAPs? turned out to be a lot more difficult than I expected! I will admit, I hadn’t noticed it before taking the picture so I think it would have been equally hard for me. Now, the moment some of you have been waiting for. The unveiling …

Sam and Friends Donated to Smithsonian National Museum of American History

Kermit Goes Home

Did you know that Kermit the Frog was originally from Washington D.C.? I know, you thought he was from the swamp where he sang Rainbow Connection. Perhaps he was, but he did make his first television appearance in Washington D.C. on Washington’s WRC-TV in 1955 on Sam and Friends. 55 …

Mickey Mouse fighting Maleficent Dragon in Fantasmic!

Spoiled by the Magic

I’m spoiled by the magic. I admit it. I spend a lot of time running in and out of the parks and I’m spoiled. Granted, quite often my jaunt into the park is just an hour or two but it is still enough. I have seen many of the shows …

Epic Mickey Trailer… AMAZING!

Last week, a new Epic Mickey trailer was released. It is simply amazing. This is a game I have been excited about since I originally heard about it. This trailer really sets the scene for the game and it definitely does not disappoint. It is full of references to Disney historical …
