It seems that I get phone calls about once a month from a friend of a friend asking me about taking a trip to Walt Disney World. What surprises me most is when someone calls and tells me that they are going in a month and have not done any planning. I think a trip…

The Disney Fairies became extremely popular in Disney’s movie Tinker Bell. Now you can meet and talk to them, or maybe even ask them some questions! You can meet them back in Toon Town in the big tent. You need to get there early because lines can get to 45 minutes in the first 10…

We just got back from a quick trip down to the Walt Disney World® Resort. It was supposed to be a relaxing, cool October visit, but it turned out to be just the opposite. Orlando had a heat wave last week and we heard the record-breaking temperatures were the hottest it’s been there in October in 150 Years. It…

These kids range in disabilities from autism, Downs syndrome, to disabilities you many not even notice. I kept thinking, how we as a company can help these folks. My background is…

One of my favorite rides in Disneyland Paris was Indiana Jones and The Temple of Peril. This rollercoaster is outside and goes upside down! You race by rocks (really big ones) in a mine cart that brings you around sharp turns and flies you up and down. This ride is really jerky so if…

From Marin, our five “and ¾” year old Princess expert. I like Ariel because she is a Princess and she is pretty. I like the part in the movie when she sings and saves the prince. I first saw her in the Grotto on a rock. She sits on a big rock and there is…

After years of visiting Disney parks around the world, I finally made it to Disneyland Paris! I was really looking forward to this day of our trip, as was Nattie, our The Mouse Experts ‘Kid Expert’. Armed with a camera, an empty memory card, and a full day ahead of us, we set out to enjoy the…

After four days of touring Paris, we finally made it out to Disneyland Paris for the day. Before I get to that (in a different blog), I thought I would go over how to get there first, as it can be a little confusing riding the trains in Paris. Disneyland Paris is located in Chassy-Marne…
