June 21st, 2011 · 1 Comment

When we first visited Walt Disney World in 1999, we were wowed by so many experiences – the sights – the sounds – the food – and the parades! The daytime parades at the Magic Kingdom were favorites of my daughter during those years as they were extremely interactive and often paused for long periods [...]

Little Black Rain Cloud?

June 13th, 2011 · No Comments

It’s been an interesting few months in my household… lots of highs and lows. Without being too specific, let’s just say it’s not been an overly lucky year. I know we all have periods of time that seem luckier than others – finding money you forgot you had, getting recognition for work you’ve done, kids doing well [...]

Belly laughs!

June 7th, 2011 · No Comments

I love ‘em – the kind that have you tearing up, holding against furniture to stay upright, snorting with laughter! It seems I have belly laughs at Disney more than any place else – how about you?

Especially when you consider that I was actually living in Clearwater, Florida as it was being built… we just never got around to it, as a kid. And then as I became an adult, well, [...]
