Like many other women who are Disney enthusiasts, I have enjoyed seeing (and collecting) pieces from name-brand jewelry and handbag collections that feature images and characters from The Happiest Place on Earth. I am, of course, talking about Dooney & Bourke, Vera Bradley and Pandora. This week, we can add Coach to that list when … Continue reading "Coach launches limited edition Disney collection June 17"
Disney Dollars discontinued at Walt Disney World and Disneyland
Posted onThe Orange County Register confirmed Thursday that Disney Dollars will no longer be sold at Walt Disney World or Disneyland after today, May 13. The California newspaper cited a statement from a Disneyland spokesperson, although The Walt Disney Co. did not make an official announcement. There is no expiration date on Disney Dollars, so bills that already have been purchased still can be used.
NOTE: A cast member at Guest Relations at Disney Springs said that location will still sell Disney Dollars on Saturday, if they still have some.
Disney Magic Cruising
Posted onUpon walking on to the Disney Magic, the first ship of the Disney Cruise Line, I immediately compared it to the Disney Dream which I had been on several times. That comparison makes the Disney Magic feel small and is not fair. I found the Disney Magic different and smaller but just as enjoyable to … Continue reading "Disney Magic Cruising"
Disney Pic of the Week: Yesterland Magic Kingdom
Posted onFirst, let me define what “yesterland” photos are to me. It is any Disney photo I took before I purchased my first digital SLR camera in 2005.

A Day in the Life at the Magic Kingdom
Posted onWe all have our own perspectives. Each day we spend in our world which might include family, friends, work or play.

A Sampling of Disney’s Aulani
Posted onAloha! Venturing out of Waikiki to Olina where Disney’s Aulani, a very large ocean-front resort sits, took about 45 minutes by car. The only tricky part is H1 East becomes 93 and then you need to make sure you know which exit to take. Luckily, we guessed better than what the GPS said. My advice, … Continue reading "A Sampling of Disney’s Aulani"
