DVD Review: The Boys, The Sherman Brothers’ Story
Their litany is unparalleled. Their affect on popular culture is unmatched. Mention any of the songs from Mary Poppins and most people will be able to sing along. (Are you humming A Spoonful of Sugar, yet?) The tagline from the film, two brothers, fifty films, one thousand songs is quite
Disney Untangles a Winner!
I had the pleasure a few days ago to see Tangled on the big screen. I went with my DD age 4 and my DS age.. I would get my butt kicked if I announced that. We tried to see this movie on Thanksgiving weekend but it was sold out
Cupcake Showdown: Babycakes NYC vs. Starring Rolls.
Just a few days ago, I had the opportunity to try Babycakes NYC, a new bakery in Downtown Disney on the site of the former McDonalds. Babycakes, which has locations in New York City and Los Angeles, is different: All their baked goods are vegan and gluten-free. For the uninitiated,

DVD Review: Waking Sleeping Beauty
I am by no means a huge Disney Nerd like George from Imaginerding is. He takes being a Disney Deek to a whole new level. But this past holiday weekend I decided to sit down and watch the Waking Sleeping Beauty Documentary. I have heard from several other Disney Bloggers

Relive a classic: Fantasia and Fantasia on Bluray/DVD
I had the pleasure this past weekend at reliving a classic Disney Tale on Bluray. Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 are out of the Disney vault and on Blu-ray/DVD. Let me just say if you don’t have a bluray player you need to get one! The picture quality for any movie
Review: Disney’s Hidden Gem The Sorcerers Apprentice
I had a chance to check this film out last week and boy was I surprised. I had hoped to see it in theaters earlier this year but due to having a child and one more on the way I don’t get out to the movies as much as I
Ride Review – Tomorrowland Transit Authority
Often we think only of the ‘E’ Ticket attractions when we visit one of the Disney Parks. And it’s hard to argue with that strategy! Who doesn’t like the fast paced thrills of Space Mountain or the extreme theming of the Jungle Cruise? But in every Park you can find
Review: Disney’s Mickey Mote
My little one and I had a chance to try this product out this past week. We received in the mail both Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Numbers Roundup and Handy Manny Big Construction Job. Let me start off by saying my little on is not a fan of Handy Manny. I
Review: Search for Santa Paws
My family and I had the opportunity to sit down and watch this movie the other night. My daughter who is a HUGE fan of any movie with dogs or puppies in it could not wait! She was so excited when we received it in the mail she wanted to
Review: Disney’s A Christmas Carol on Bluray
I sat down to watch this classic Christmas tale this past weekend. Having missed it in theaters last year I was really looking forward to seeing it! The portrayal of Ebeneser Scrooge is spot on. Jim Carrey really portrays Scrooge as a mean, old, money grubbing grouch. I was thinking
