5 Ways To Get Psyched For Your Disney Trip!

Hey-Howdy-Hey, Disney Guys and Gals!      Is anyone familiar with Barney Stinson's "Get Psyched" Mix? Anyone? How I Met your Mother Fans? Ok, great! So you totally get where I'm going with this! If you have no idea what I am talking about, you can watch a clip  HERE!  Basically, the theory is that no matter what's going on in your life, you can get yourself psyched up and ready for something awesome to happen, all by listening to the right piece of music. Playing off of that theory, I feel that one of the very best things about a Disney trip is actually  preparing  for it, or getting psyched! You can have a whole bunch of crappy stuff happening in your life at the time, but if you have a Disney trip on the horizon... even if it's 564 days away, you have something to look forward to and enjoy preparing yourself for. In fact, many Disney fans, (myself included), pretty much get from one day to the next by preparing for upcoming trips. You may even book a ne

Thanksgiving 2016 at Walt Disney World

Hey there, Disney Guys and Gals!      Tink here, bringing you some tasty ideas for this year's Thanksgiving at Walt Disney World! We're talking "turkey" about hanging with the Mouse for the holiday! If you've never been to Disney for Thanksgiving before, it's a great time to be here, for multiple reasons.      Firstly, if you manage to get here early in the week, you may be able to catch the end of "off-season" and enjoy lighter crowds, and shorter lines. If you're not getting here until Wednesday or later, you can expect that the parks will be pretty full, BUT they will also be open later and will have lots of exciting events taking place. Holidays Around the World      You'll also be delighted to find that the holiday decorations in the parks and at the resorts are generally up prior to Thanksgiving, meaning that while you're enjoying Turkey Day, you can roll right into the Christmas spirit by taking in Holidays Around the W

45 Ways We Know We Are Disney Fans

Good afternoon, Disney Fans!!! As you know, on October 1st, Walt Disney World marked a very special occasion: The 45th Anniversary of The Magic Kingdom, and Walt Disney World as a whole . Disney anniversaries are always times that I reflect upon why Disney is so special to me and what I love about it. So today, I present to you, a list of the many ways I know that I am a TRUE Disney addict. Are YOU one too? How many of these apply to you? 45 Ways We Know We Are Disney Fans... We buy Disney guidebooks .... in print.... even though we know all of the information inside front to back, just for the pictures, or to see how much we agree/disagree with the author. Our cars are filled with Disney CDs, and our mobile devices are filled with Disney music ... even if we don't have kids. We make Disney playlists, and listen to them so much that we know the order of the songs. Don't HAVE a Playlist yet? Feel free to check out my own personal ones on Spotify, by clicking these l
