I have always been in awe of cast members of The Walt Disney Company. From the Imagineers who dream up and design new state-of-the-art attractions for the theme parks to the entertainers on screen and on stage who bring beloved characters and stories to life – talent in the Disney community is truly second to […]
These days, there is nothing that makes my family happier than a good Disney countdown calendar and a little friendly competition to go with it! For our last Disney vacation, my kids asked for a Jeopardy-style countdown and, although it was a bit time-consuming to get everything organized and created for it, it was well […]
When we decided to take our first trip to the Disneyland Resort, I knew that soaking in every bit of the history that Disneyland has to offer was going to be a top priority. For this very reason, we decided that the Disneyland Hotel, a property every bit as rich in history as Walt’s first […]
There is nothing quite like a Mickey Mouse-shaped snack when you are visiting a Disney theme park. I’m not sure what it is about adding a pair of Mickey ears, but this simple adjustment most definitely turns everyday food into something extraordinary! We have had our fair share of Mickey soft pretzels, ice cream bars, […]
My oldest son had just turned one year when my husband and I introduced him to the Disney/Pixar movie Cars.

Little did we know […]
I recently had the honor and the great privilege of visiting the Disneyland Resort for the first time ever with my family. We spent a week surrounded by Disney magic, in the midst of amazing experiences that were brand new to us; and, best of all, we came away with an even more profound sense […]
“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates’ loot on Treasure Island and at the bottom of the Spanish Main…and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.” Walt Disney Brilliant words spoken by an absolutely brilliant man! And it is a sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with. […]
I always dreamed of visiting Walt Disney World as a young girl, but never got the chance until April 2008 when my toddlers and I tagged along on one of my husband’s business trips to Orlando. He promised us a day at the Magic Kingdom at the end of his work week, and the day […]
For as long as I’ve known myself, I have been madly in love with ice cream. Most nutritionists would probably agree that having any kind of food as a vice is not a wise idea – but, to them I’d say life is too short and, as my favorite bookmark so brilliantly states, “You can’t […]
In true “Always Disney Dreaming” fashion, I am always thinking ahead to our next Disney vacation – and a big part of my family’s trip planning is to make sure we pack plenty of shirts that show off our Disney spirit. It may be cliché, but we love a good Disney themed t-shirt every time […]
