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. Today I take a look at Moana. Highlights: The first time I watched Moana I knew it […]
Moana Disney Bound
When I was planning my trip to Disneyland last month, I decided it was a good time to plan another Disney Bound! If you’re not familiar with what Disney Bounding is, you can read about it here. For this trip I decided to come up with a Moana outfit, and I planned to wear it […]
News, rumors, and round up – October 2017
It feels like a tiny bit of a lull in the world of Disney right now. Lots of exciting announcements over the summer, and then all of the big things in fall like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and Food and Wine Festival. Christmas will be coming soon, so there’s still lots of stuff […]
D23 Expo 2017: The Power of the Princess
This panel at the D23 Expo featured the voice actors of 4 popular and empowering Disney Princesses: Paige O’Hara (Belle), Jodi Benson (Ariel), Anika Noni Rose (Tiana), and Auli’i Cravalho (Moana). They all spoke first hand about what it was like to get the part, practice it, and what it meant to them. Words can’t […]
How to make a Moana running costume
Is Moana considered a princess? Well, I don’t know what you think, but I believe she is. She may not have the official princess title, but she’s the daughter of the village chief so she’s as much one as Pocahontas. She’s also strong, independent, and fun, which is why I chose to do a Moana […]
Disney news, rumors, and round up – May 2017
Guys, April has pretty much kicked my butt. It’s been the worst month of the year so far, and that’s saying a lot considering I spent half of January with severe anxiety and the other half with some flu-like virus. First I fell on my face 2 minutes into the Hershey 10k and went to […]

If you’re planning to go to Disney this summer or beyond, there are lots of great things in store for you! And even if you’re not, there’s still tons of Disney magic coming. The world is getting very excited for the new Beauty and the Beast movie, and from everything I’ve seen it looks like […]
Disney running quotes
When it comes to running, most of the time I enjoy it. But there’s no doubt that running is challenging too. I love listening to music when I run because it keeps me going. Not just the beat, but often the words too. A nice, cheesy, inspirational quote might be just the thing I need. […]
Moana Party
One of the coolest things I get to do in my new job of children’s librarian is plan programs and events for the kids. Because we’re trying to tap into pop culture and whatever the kids are into to keep them interested in the library, it made sense to tie into the latest Disney movie. […]
Disney news, rumors, and round up – December 2016
There’s usually a pretty good amount of Disney news every month, but in November it’s like Disney went crazy sharing things! They had a small event in Disney World where they announced a couple of things, but then it just kept coming. It means I have a lot of news to share with you this […]
