Merida is now at Disneyland. She is right across from It’s a Small World. I think one of the best parts about this isn’t what you’d expect though. I love that they have the Scottish themed music there! Generally the music in the area gets a bit overwhelming if you are there too long as you hear It’s a Small World over and over again. There was a bit of a line but nothing too insane. I have a feeling this will change once Brave is actually in theaters. I [Read More]

Last night I spent a bulk of the evening along the Rivers of America at Disneyland to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Fantasmic! at Disneyland. 20 years ago Fantasmic! premiered before members of the press and it only seemed fitting to return to this amazing show on this historic day. Since Mickey Mouse is pretty much my favorite character in the show, it also seems fittting for today’s Photo of the Day to be a picture of the big cheese himself! I hope you enjoy!
Make it a GREAT day!

One of my favorite places at any Disney Magic Kingdom is Main Street. Disneyland, Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, or Disneyland Paris; it doesn’t matter. I love Main Street. I love it even more when you can find a piano down at the end of it but even without it I love Main Street. This is more than likely because of growing up in a small town in the Midwest as a kid. Although I will admit, our “Main Street,” if you can call it that, never looked as perfect as any [Read More]

20 years ago Disneyland Paris opened its gates. There have been lots of changes since then, including a name, but one thing has remained the same; this is a wonderful continuation of Walt Disney’s legacy that started at Disneyland. I have visited Disneyland Paris a couple of times and absolutely love it. I took this picture in 2008 during my first visit to Disneyland Paris. I love how much is happening in this photo. If you look closely you can see some favorite Disney friends. You might also notice that [Read More]

I love Epcot. It is one of my favorite Disney theme parks. It is so completely different than all the other parks at both Walt Disney World and other domestic and international Disney theme parks. There are some absolutely beautiful little locations at Epcot. The Canada pavilion has one of my favorites. This is a little cottage that can be seen as walking up to the Canada pavilion using the entrance on the right. Every time I see it I think, “I want to live in that cottage!” It is [Read More]

Last fall I went on a fairly impromptu trip to Walt Disney World. A couple of days into the trip we finally made it to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This was after a day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom so one of the first things on our agenda was to get food. We did so at the ABC Commissary. When we went in, it didn’t look like  this. However, later in the evening after we had eaten we happened past the Commissary again. This time, there was nobody in sight. It always [Read More]

This is a photo of Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Paris from my last trip. As I picked out this photo I was watching the new Disney Dreams spectacular live streaming from Disneyland Paris. It seemed only fitting that I pick a photo for today from Disneyland Paris as I’m absolutely loving this show! I hope to be able to visit Disneyland Paris later this year and take more pictures there of the park and also this show. It is absolutely beautiful!

There are so many different things I could be writing about today but one thing is on my mind and in my heart. We lost another amazing cast member over the weekend. They were a great person with a great sense of humor and a smile to match it. They have left a hole in the Disneyland family that will never be completely filled. It seems like the last year has been a harder year losing cast members. Several of them that I have personally known have passed on. Some [Read More]
