This day was a great start to a great conference! It started EARLY… Or at least early if you had been schmoozing at Club 33 until midnight the night before. 😉 However, that was a predicament I was willing to accept, so, with Mickey Mouse Waffles from room service fresh in our bellies, we headed […]
When this summer was just a blossom on the calendar, it held the promise of being the best summer I've had in a long time… unfortunately, it didn't turn out quite that way, so now my upcoming trip to Disneyland sounds that much sweeter. It seems like the weeks have absolutely dragged leading up to […]
Thanks to Focused on the Magic for hosting this week’s Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop! Be sure to stop by Focused on the Magic and check out all of the great photos.  My picture this week is from the 2009 D23 Expo.  This amazing wall surrounded the Disney Parks Pavilion and featured just about every […]
As you can hopefully tell from yesterday’s D23 Expo Highlights post, I had lots of fun at this year’s event, and there were a lot of wonderful memories to be made.  However, the Expo wasn’t without incident, and, unfortunately, I had a few major disappointments this year.  I don’t, by any means, want to be […]
Suitcase contents are strewn around the room, stacks of Vinylmation are piled on tables, and I spent most of my afternoon clearing space on my computer to fit all of the pictures I need to upload… all signs point to the end of vacation, and if those weren’t enough, the post-Disney blues have set in […]
I’m bringing my Disney World trip reports to an end today, but stay tuned for lots of fun this weekend as I blog my daily recaps of the D23 Expo! Day 5 By the time Day 5 in Disney World rolled around, some of my least favorite Fibro symptoms had set in, so we got […]
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I found this little gem from the D23 Destination D: Disneyland ’55 convention.  The Little Man of Disneyland children’s book was a rare souvenir from the early days of Disneyland.  In this funny little story, Mickey shows a little Leprechaun the lay of the Land.  The Little Man even […]
Scavenger Hunt Sunday started EARLY!  We were up, registered, and waiting for the hunt to begin long before I would normally get up for work. 🙂  Clue book in hand (but still securely sealed), we waited for the official start.  The teams were broken into three groups – one group started in Disneyland, one group […]
The second day of D23’s Destination D started just as early as the day before, but we were a lot more mellow about racing over to the Disneyland Hotel to wait in line.  In fact, coffee and croissant in hand, we ended up in just about the same point in the giant line as we […]
I wanted to share a few more of my favorite pictures from Day One of the D23 Destination D convention… I hope you enjoy them!  In order from top left to bottom right: From the Weird Disney presentation with Becky Cline and Paul Anderson, Walt with his grandson in matching Davy Crockett Hats. Singing the […]
