Life is a Journey

My favorite place on Earth turns 57 today.  Yay!! OK, we are continuing our tour of the D23 Disney exhibit, right? Right!  I thought this Mickey was adorable ...and then... ...and then I realized that it was the Mickey in this famous photo of Walt!! Of course, no Disney exhibit would be complete without Walt's office. This was the first time that I could take my time and examine every detail... The books in his office interested me greatly. Walt got the first employee badge and rightly so! My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw this Mary Poppins costume! This is for you sub buffs! Would you believe I've never seen Flubber? Either one! Now this made me smile...costumes from Babes in Toyland. What will we see next time????

It's funny how one casual remark can eventually lead to a big change in someone's life. I feel like telling a story so sit down and don't get up until I'm done. That's an order. About two years ago, my friends, Karen and Peter, were visiting and we were spending a few days at Disneyland together. They started telling me about changes that were to come to the resort and I was blown away by their knowledge. "How do you guys know all this stuff???" I asked. Karen quickly informed me about Disney podcasts. "Huh? What on Earth are podcasts?" I can be a little dense at times so she patiently explained to me that podcasts are like radio shows only you download them from itunes and listen to them at your convenience. I made a mental note to check that out. About a week later I started poking around itunes and naturally wanted to see what I could find in the podcast world on Disneyland. There wasn't much! About 96% revolved around Walt Disney Wo...

Yes, it true. Just the other day I got the good news that I would be going to the Expo with the rest of the Disneyland Gazette staff! I am THRILLED ! I will take PLENTY of pics and in the meantime, will be making mini updates on Facebook and Twitter using Shoutomatic so keep an eye out for those audio bits. P.S. Sorry for the lack of posts - been helping my cousin move.

WOW! All I can say is WOW! I had a blast! The only thing that would have made this day perfect would have been cooler weather. MUCH cooler weather. Part of me felt like an excited fan, meeting some of her "radio idols" for the first time. Part of me could not believe that I was actually part of the Gazette team, in more ways than one. I was asked to become a memeber of the staff abut two months ago but as I mentioned earlier, I felt like I was meeting someone famous. The very people who entertain and inform me on a weekly basis, LOL. I had a blast hanging out with them and learning so much about Disneyland and DCA. What a pleasure it was and it's a day I will always remember!
