Walt Disney is one of the most inspiring people who I can think of. The things that he accomplished in his lifetime are incredible, but to me the most fascinating thing is just how innovative he was. Walt wasn’t afraid to take risks and think outside the box. Of course, he would not have been […]
Carnation Cafe review
When I took my trip to Disneyland and the D23 Expo this past summer, we booked almost no dining reservations. For a Walt Disney World veteran who makes reservations 180 days in advance, this felt crazy! We booked one lunch at Ariel’s Grotto but nothing else. About a week before we left I panicked I […]
Walk in Walt’s Footsteps tour at Disneyland
On my most recent trip to Disneyland we decided to do the behind the scenes tour that they offer, called Walk in Walt’s Footsteps. We booked it for July 17th, which was exciting because it was the birthday of Disneyland. The park originally opened on July 17th, 1955, so it was celebrating its 62nd […]
Disney news, rumors, and round-up: August 2016
Phew – last month was full of news! And while we’ve still got some exciting things happening this month, it’s not quite as overwhelming. I also leave for Disney tomorrow myself!

The Wisdom of Walt book review
I received a copy of the Wisdom of Walt for free in exchange for a review. All opinions are entirely my own. About a month ago I heard about a book called the Wisdom of Walt, by Jeffrey Barnes. I contacted him and he was kind enough to not only send me a copy of his […]
Dining at the Tam O’Shanter
Do you know much about Walt Disney and his history with the company? One fun fact is that he liked to eat lunch a lot of times at a place called the Tam O’Shanter. It’s still around today, so as a big Disney fan I decided it was the perfect place to have dinner on […]
Book Review: The Revised Vault of Walt
A few months ago I wrote a review of the book The Vault of Walt, by Jim Korkis, over on the Come Home to Disney blog. Since that time I was lucky enough to get a copy of the revised Vault of Walt, and I would love to share that review with you now. For […]
