I’ve never really been a collector in any organized way- not dolls, not stamps, nothing. I certainly have amassed a large number of Disney and Mickey Mouse items but they were all very random. That is until about five years ago when my husband and I started collecting Disney pins. Our first experience with this began…

A Princess in Preparation
How is the training going? I have been hearing that more and more lately. And my answer is that it is going slowly. If I didn’t have three kids to keep up with, a full volunteer schedule at their school, great weather of about 65 degrees with clear skies, and someone to run my errands…
Aloha, means goodbye as well
although directly translated it means affection, love, peace, compassion and mercy. As all good things must come to an end, it’s time to wrap up my blogging on Hawaii until a future trip, which is definitely going to happen. We hope to be able to book a cabin right on the beach at Bellows Air…
Have Time?? Take the Disneyland Holiday Tour!!
My family and I were at Disneyland the week of November 14th – 20th. Through the week, we saw people sitting on the Main Street curb for one to two hours before the parade. While we wanted to see the parade, we didn’t want to spend that much time sitting and not spending the time…
Growing Up with Disney
By Erica Colmenares As a nuclear family, we came relatively late to the Disney vacation game. Our son, Max, was seven before he first set foot on Disney property. But since then, he’s made up for lost time, and has grown up with Disney. He’s experienced the birth of attractions, and experienced offerings that are…
Why Pop is Tops: My Reasons for Choosing Pop Century

Why Disney?
By Jane Jones
"Why Disney?"
This is a question I am asked often by family and friends alike. Well, those who really know my family have stopped asking. We’re now just the people they send their friends to for the answer to the question "Why Disney?"
"Why Disney?" Simply stated, it is the best overall value in service, experience, and just plain fun for the entire family. While there are still many things we have yet to do that Disney offers, we have done quite a lot. Our family has visited Disneyland and Walt Disney World more times than we can count and have stayed at most of the Disney resorts in the USA. We’ve done 3-, 4-, and 7-night cruises in the Caribbean.
While there are still many things we have yet to do that Disney offers, we have done quite a lot. Our family has visited Disneyland and Walt Disney World more times than we can count and have stayed at most of the Disney resorts in the USA. We’ve done 3-, 4-, and 7-night cruises in the Caribbean. We’ve cruised the Mediterranean and the Baltic Seas with Disney. We’re Disney Vacation Club members. Hmm…you’re probably wondering if we’ve even tried any other vacation options, and yes we have. They don’t compare. Our family is invested heart and soul into Disney vacationing….but WHY?
Let me give you some concrete examples.
Star Treatment
Earlier this year, Chris and I had the chance to take a trip with my Dad and my brother. We rarely have a chance to get my Dad to Disney, and he isn’t the biggest fan of it. Actually, he says he isn’t when he’s not there, but when you get him to Disney, he’s…
Baby’s First Haircut
When we were planning our first trip to Disney World with our kids my second job became researching all the little things that would make the memories extra special. One of those little things that I found was information about the baby’s first haircut at the Magic Kingdom. At that time our trip was more…
Dinner for 12, please…
When you hear “Grand Gathering” what comes to mind? I know that Disney wants you to have a fairy tale image of happiness and laughing and everyone getting along. Young and old and in between, everyone is thrilled to be together, sharing in the magic of the “happiest place on Earth!” (Right. Have you ever…
The Great Movies of the Great Movie Ride!
I’m moving in. ; ) I think we all want look for ways to carry the magic of our Disney trips over into our every day lives at home, or to find a way to get ourselves excited for an upcoming trip. I like to research and learn more about the history of Disney as…
Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts
One of the largest deciding factors in our family’s resort selection for our Disney trips boils down to location. As my children have grown into the teenage and young adult years, we’ve found the Epcot resort area to be our all time favorite area to stay at the Walt Disney World Resort. We especially enjoy…
