Dayton Disneyana – 2013

Posted on by Gary Cruise
The Dayton "Plane Crazy" Chapter of the Disneyana Fan Club, who host the event annually, describe it as "a Show and Sale of Disneyana Collectibles and Disney Pin Trading Event" but it is actually much more than that. It's more like a convention for Disney fans! This year's event included two well known speakers; 1) Jim Hill, an award-winning entertainment writer from Boston who written extensively about The Walt Disney Company. 2) Jim Korkis, an internationally respected Disney historian who has written hundreds of articles about all things Disney for over three decades.

Cruising to Vancouver on the Disney Wonder – Day 3

Posted on by Gary Cruise
May 22, 2013 Our plans to get up early and watch our approach to the Golden Gate Bridge didn’t work out. The ship was rocking and rolling all night long and Carol didn’t sleep well.
