As another year comes to a close, many are remembering the events of 2012 and looking ahead to the new year with hope and expectation.   It is easy to forget the wonderful events throughout the year until we take time to stop and reflect.   With this in mind, I thought it would be fitting to reflect on some of the Disney happenings of 2012.
