A little humor and fun is a good way to lighten the mood right now, right? And one thing that just might bring a smile to your face is those seagulls from Finding Nemo. The ones who are continually sitting there going “Mine! Mine! Mine!” It’s a silly little gag in the movie but it […]
6 Great Disney Dads
Too often in Disney films, mom is unfortunately out of the picture for one reason or another. Because of that we see a lot of Disney dads – some might be better father figures than others, but many who love their kids and grow and learn from their experiences. In honor of Father’s Day I […]
A Day at Walt Disney Studios Park
After our first day in Disneyland Paris, the next day we made sure to be at the other park, Walt Disney Studios, right when it opened, since we’d heard there were a couple of popular rides that would get long wait times. This turned out to be a really good choice since it ended up being […]
Pixar movie tournament – final round!
It comes down to just two films! Everyone, this is so hard to decide. I seriously don’t even know which one I’m going to vote for yet! The two that have made it through to the finals are Toy Story and Finding Nemo. I will say it’s not quite what I expected when I first […]
Disney on Ice: 100 years of Magic
Going to Disney on Ice has become a bit of a tradition for my husband and me – it’s always playing at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia the week after Christmas. 4 years ago I found a super cheap Living Social deal to go and we’ve been doing it ever since! This year’s showing […]
Highlights from my December 2015 Disney trip
I was in Disney World for 10 DAYS. It was amazing. It was exhausting. And I have a lot to blog about! It will take me awhile to share all of the things I did and saw while I was there, so I figured I’d give you a little sneak preview of my trip and […]
The Oscars and Animated Disney Movies
Can you believe that films like The Lion King and Cinderella didn’t win the Oscar for best animated film? Well, that’s because for a very long time that category didn’t even exist. Throughout the history of the Oscars, animated features have been largely ignored. Sure, Walt Disney was honored for his work on Snow White, […]
Kill, Refurb, Marry: Disney Partners
This month’s Kill, Refurb, Marry theme is “Disney Partners.” This is pretty much open to interpretation – best friends? Villain and sidekick? Lovers? I decided to concentrate on Disney Duos, or in my mind two characters that really share close to equally sized roles in a movie but not in a romantic way. I’m thinking Woody and […]
Painting your own Disney Easter Eggs
I am by no means an artist – I can do crafts pretty well, but when it comes to doing something freehand with paints or markers, you’re not going to be pretty impressed with what I turn out. But for Easter we always paint eggs, and I wanted to do some Disney eggs this year. […]
Art of Animation resort review
I have been lucky enough to stay at Disney’s newest resort twice – the Art of Animation resort. This is classified as a “value” resort, but unlike many of the other values, they consist of mostly suites. If you’re not familiar with the resort, it’s broken up into four sections: Cars, the Lion King, […]
