The Disney Room

Posted on by Gary Cruise
Do you have a Disney Room? I think every Disney fan should have one. If you are an obsessive Disney collector, like Carol, a Disney Room is imperative! When Carol and I first started dating she proudly showed me a small cabinet containing her collection of Disney music boxes. They were displayed in a bookcase, about three shelves, with glass doors. Nice! She also showed me her Disney themed Collector Plates and some very nice porcelain Mickey Mouse Figurines.

I … Continue reading "It’s All In How You See It"

Jim’s Attic: Bits of Disneyland

Posted on by AllEars
Having grown up in the Southern California area and visiting Disneyland many, many times a year, it was quite a "Twilight Zone"-like experience to enter the Magic Kingdom for the first time. While there were areas that seemed similar to what was at Disneyland, the differences were more pronounced than the similarities.
