I’ve been very into any sort of twist on fairy tales lately, and as Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies I was excited to get my hands on this! Lost in a Book by Jennifer Donnelly actually doesn’t tamper with the “original” Disney story at all – it takes place […]
Once upon a Dream book review
Once upon a Dream is another one of Liz Braswell’s darker fairy tale/Disney retellings, this time tackling Sleeping Beauty. I’ve previously read the Aladdin one (A Whole New World) and Beauty and the Beast (As Old as Time). I’m not as fond of the movie Sleeping Beauty as those two, but that just means I […]
Disney mug of the month: Animal Kingdom Lodge DVC
I’ve mentioned it on the blog in some of my update posts, but a few months ago my husband and I did a very exciting thing – we bought DVC! We purchased a contract at Animal Kingdom Lodge resale, which is honestly my favorite resort at Disney. And just yesterday I made my very first […]
Disney mug of the month: Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Are you ever in Disney and your friends suddenly grab you and say, “Becky, you need to buy that!”? Well, that’s a pretty common occurrence when I travel with my friends because we are pretty good at enabling each other. And of course more often than not, when they see something they think I would […]
Mickey Monthly unboxing – October 2018
The end of the month is always a fun time to because it means my Mickey Monthly box is coming! I had received a Halloween item in my September box, but I was also excited to see a little more Halloween in this October box! You can see my post on how I customized my box […]
Disney mug of the month: Mickey Jack O’Lantern
Welcome to October everyone! So far the weather here has been pretty great, so I’m not too disappointed about losing summer. And there are a lot of things I love about fall: the colors, the cooler air for running, and the excuse to dress up in fun costumes! Not to mention… yes, the flavors of […]
Disney news, rumors, and round up: October 2018
Welcome to fall! It finally feels a little cooler here in Pennsylvania, though I’m not sure the same can be said for Florida. Plenty is going on in the world of Disney right now, with some big announcements about Disney Cruise Line, lots of theme park fun, and new movies coming out in November and […]
Disney mug of the month: Magic Kingdom Starbucks
The Starbucks “You are Here” mugs have been popular now for awhile all over the world, and of course Disney World is no exception. You can find these fun mugs at almost any major city (I see the Philadelphia ones around here all the time). Each of the Disney theme parks has a mug, and […]
Book Review: Beast: A Tale of Love and Revenge
As a librarian I sometimes have the opportunity to get advanced copies of books before they are published. Often these are handed out at conferences. When I was at the Public Library Association conference last March and stopped by the Candlewick Press booth and saw a Beauty and the Beast inspired book called Beast: A Tale […]
Disney mug of the month: Chip
I had been wanting this mug for awhile, so I was really excited when I finally got it, thanks to my Pixie Dust Pal! Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie, and Chip is just too cute – so when they came out with a ceramic Chip mug, it went on my wish […]
