Why This Blog...

I can still remember my first trip to Disneyland. It was my 5th birthday and while I don't remember every second of it, from that very first moment, it was home.

I know children all love Disneyland, but I have to think, with me, it was different. Not every kid dreams of the place like I did, not every kid built their every grown up dream around the place the way I did, not every kid grew up to work there and spend every day for years and years there.

I did.

I met the first real friends of my life out there, ha my first real heartbreak, met my husband, lost my sister, started to raise two boys, all while living right there at Disneyland.

Two and a have years ago I came home to Walt Disney World.

I was living in Virginia and I knew I needed a life reset. I didn't want to go back to California, that felt like just that, going back, but I knew I needed home. It was a no brainer where I needed to go... Disney World.

I live off the same street the main park entrance is on, about thirty minutes up the road. I'm blessed to be able to go whenever I want, and I want a lot. The park has absorbed me, it feels at this point as if I've always been here. I feel the heartbeat of this park. I was sitting out at Downtown Disney tonight realizing that most people probably didn't feel as much a part of the trees and the pavers as I do.

If a place could be a soul mate, this would be mine. So why not share my love with everyone? I guarantee you, my take on Disney will be different than the hordes of Disney websites and blogs, because this will be a love story plain and simple. A lot of people may not get it, but I'm really happy about this decision to finally share this part of my life with my friends and my fans alike. I'm always talking about Disney and I know most people don't get what I get about the place, but I share every other part of my life, why not this?

This blog will be primarily my personal disney (that blog title was taken... sniffle) I'll make a regular feature out of Downtown Disney Tuesday and be chronicling the transformation to Disney Springs.

At the moment I do not have an annual pass, so posts won't feature much if anything from there at the moment, but with the holidays here, I'm going to try and do a post on each of my favorite hotels and their amazing decorations and many of the holiday offerings going on now. I want to share with you the amazing resorts, the nooks I find to write, the wildlife, the food, the architecture and the entertainment. 
At the end of the day, I love a Disney theme park, and I'm a dork. This blog is going to blend and showcase that brilliantly. ;-)
