Q. How many trips to WDW in a year are too many? A. … What? I am, as always, very ready to go home. My Springtime Surprise race registration was a total impulse buy, but then what is it the kids say? Is it carpe diem? Is it YOLO? Could it be yo, carpe diem? Have they moved on...

Today we’re going to pivot a little: I want to talk about the gratitude I have surrounding my Disney parks experiences. I’m not gonna lie to you guys – it’s about to get a little sappy up in here. 😅 Don’t get me wrong – there is still plenty to complain about when it comes to Disney, especially in...

Hello and welcome back to my Thoughts While Watching series, where we unearth (mostly vintage) Disney media and react to it in real time! I accidentally saved the perfect video for this installment.
