This is part of my series “Thoughts on Disney movies,” where I’ve gone back to watch all of the animated Disney features, starting with Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, and then share my thoughts on the blog. Highlights: This movie is the one that really started the Disney renaissance of the 1990’s, and for […]
Disney World vs. Disneyland: Pirates of the Caribbean
When I visited Disneyland for the first time, one of my questions was how the parks and rides were different from each other. I wrote up a blog post about the general differences between the two parks, but now I want to take a closer look at the attractions that are on both coasts. […]
Best Breakfasts at Walt Disney World
Breakfast can be a great time to enjoy some of the wonderful food that Disney has to offer. Many breakfasts are character meals, in which Disney characters come around to your table while you dine, but there are plenty without characters as well. A breakfast is a good way to get an early start to […]
Dining at the Skipper Canteen
The newest restaurant in the Magic Kingdom, the Skipper Canteen opened back in December and I was lucky enough to give it a try when I was there in February! It’s a table service restaurant located in Adventureland with a Jungle Cruise theme. It’s been getting mixed reviews from people, mostly due to the fact […]
Disney news, rumors, and round up – April 2016
Is it just me or did March seem to fly by? My personal life is so crazy right now – I’m playing a major part in a musical that opens on April 15th so rehearsals are getting intense right now. I also have my first race since Disney – I’ll be running the Hershey 10k […]

A day at Disney: Magic Kingdom
One of my readers suggested that they would love to hear about how I spend a day at Disney, so I thought it would be fun to share that with you all! Because I go so often I don’t always do the parks the way a typical person might – there are rides I will […]
Princess Half Marathon 2016 recap
Maybe I’m crazy, but apparently I thought it would be a good idea to run a 10k on Saturday morning followed by a half marathon on Sunday morning. It’s called the Glass Slipper Challenge, and you get a special Disney medal for completing it. The races also require you to wake up at about 3 […]

There are going to be a lot of exciting things coming to the blog this month! I’ve returned from a long weekend at Disney World which included two Disney races, trying the Skipper Canteen, and lots of other fun things. And after that I got on board a Disney Cruise! I’ve been on other cruise […]
Disney news, rumors, and round up – Feb. 2016
I have super exciting news! Well, it’s exciting for me anyway – and hopefully you’ll be at least a little bit excited about it too. Not concerning Disney necessarily, but definitely about the blog. I recently won a giveaway from a design company called Rakshi Creations to totally recreate my blog look! I’m unbelievably excited […]
