To supplement my career as a full-time Mousejunkie, I do a few things on the side. I’m a columnist for Parenting NH Magazine (I’m on page 31 this month,) I help people book trips to Walt Disney World for Blue Sky Journeys and I’m a travel columnist and TV feature writer for the Boston [...]
I’m a Mousejunkie, sure, but I’m also a bass player. I’ve been playing much longer than I care to admit, and I should be much better than I am. Let’s just say my enthusiasm outstrips my skill. Oh wait, I remember another pic that combines WDW and bass: However, I recently was sent a video and [...]
In short: Yes. But this would be a very brief blog entry if I left it at that. So let me explain… Disney announced the “One More Disney Day” promotion on New Year’s Eve. The short explanation is that Disney will keep the Magic Kingdom open for 24-hours straight on Feb. 29. My first reaction [...]
The Oscars? Yawn. The Grammys? A joke. These are The Junkies! I suppose we should start this awards extravaganza with a song and dance number. Well thank you. Thank you. You’re so kind. Please – a standing ovation is unnecessary. As you can see, dance is my life. Here we are at the end of [...]
An interesting idea popped up today on the Mousejunkies Facebook page. I asked people to “like” the Blue Sky Journeys Facebook page. (Blue Sky Journeys was just earmarked – a HUGE deal for a super hardworking couple of former Cast Members.) Anyway, John from Blue Sky Journeys suggested I check out the Magical Memories section [...]
Let me tell you about the time I met Joe Rohde, or, “How to be a tongue tied idiot and still not piss off a Disney icon.” I’ve actually spoken to him twice. And I was thinking of those times this week when I read that he had been awarded the Buzz Price Thea Award [...]
Whenever we go to Walt Disney World we fantasize about our ‘retirement job’ – what we’ll do for Disney when we abandon the cold northeast for warmer climes. My retirement job has ranged from the Mayor of Main Street to custodial (I figure if I’m walking around cleaning that I’ll have ample opportunity to help/interact [...]
As we prepare for Walt Disney World’s 40th birthday, I thought it might be worth a look back at past anniversaries. I was not prepared for how strange and off-putting those retrospectives could be. Kraft Salutes Walt Disney World’s 10th Anniversary , in particular, is mind-blowingly corny, odd and uncomfortable. I don’t know whether to [...]
I was suffering through a bout of volcanic heartburn on the dock at Port Orleans Riverside on Saturday when I was struck by an odd and very nerdy thought. Follow me here – it seemed to make sense at the time. I was on the dock and waiting for the boat to Downtown Disney, my [...]
The Wolf family from Oklahoma has created the best WDW family vacation video EVER. Creative, funny, memorable and attracting fans from all over, this video is a riot. Just watching it made my day. It totally puts to shame my primitive efforts: Especially since I don’t dance. Hats off to the Wolf family – you [...]
