My daughter is doing a musical theater summer camp where somebody wrote an original short play but they use existing music and I just discovered they're singing both "God Help the Outcasts" AND "Someday." I assume the writer wears both a belt and suspenders.
Working on a Saturday that is also your birthday doesn't sound fun, but when that "work" involves spending the afternoon at @WDFMuseum to see a @Pixar creative director discuss 20 years of the CARS franchise, it's not so bad
The fact that Epic Games/Fortnite can have such a strong relationship with Disney, and that Fortnite can also appear at HHN, is fantastic news for fans of, well, basically everything.
I only saw the Grand Floridian Gingerbread House once, and it was super cool. I'm bummed it's gone for those who never got a chance to see it, but as somebody who would like to see MORE changes with holiday experiences, I'm all for something new.
Automatically rebooked us on a flight more than 24 hours from now and the only way to even try to book anything else is to go back to departure desk, which means going BACK through customs. Not a fan of Air Canada right now
Coming into Vancouver and the end of the vacation. Back to the real world
Icy Straight exists solely as a tourist stop for cruise ships, with shops, restaurants and attractions and it's even got theme park style lands
Serenade of the Seas is not a DCL ship, but Walt is still here, as part of a stairway art exhibit that is a collection of baby pictures of famous people.
Donate for a chance to win one of these great plush sets donated by yours truly.
Going to miss my Toy Story 5 screening due to vacation, but at least I saw the plane
Spending the day at the Sausalito Cetacean Institute. On the lookout for Humpback Whales
Celebrating the changes to the Carousel of Progress the way Walt would have wanted, taking the train.
Good friends, cold beer, an evening fire pit, and my new Disneyland bucket hat. Welcome to summer.
It's kinda wild that my return came in the form of photography and not words, but it's good to be back.
New Logo, and a new beginning of sorts for me. I'm here on temporary assignment for @laughingplace.com to cover KIDS RULE SUMMER at Disneyland Let's GOOOOO
Oh man, look at the line outside the Toy Story Parking Lot at 6:45am. Maybe it is a "fan-favorite landmark"
Goodbye Park Hopping limits at Disneyland Resort. Beginning June 9 Park Hopping guests will be able to move between parks before 11 am.
