Greetings, all! My name is Ryan Elizabeth, and I am the Teen Mousejunkie! I’m here today, completely snowed in with no classes (but plenty of homework) to introduce myself as the newest blogger on mousejunkies.com. I am currently studying English and American Studies at Colby-Sawyer College. Recently, in one of my classes, we were talking [...]
As Mousejunkies, it’s normal for us to plan multiple trips to Walt Disney World each year – budget and vacation time-off permitting, of course. Walt Disney World is our favorite vacation destination. But it becomes more than a place to kick back every few years. It’s an all-encompassing hobby. It’s a place that elicits feelings [...]
Mousejunkie John will be making his first appearance in a “Mousejunkies” book with the publication of the next book this spring. He’s a guitar-slinging blues man with a serious Disney addiction. Luckily, his wife and daughters are totally on-board. I just got this message from John mere hours after his return from Walt Disney World [...]
WallE and Eva’s Grand Adventure – proprietors of the unique, awesome and truly cool virtual museum of WDW trash cans – have made an important announcement… They’ve upped their can count to 61. That’s 61 different trash cans found around Walt Disney World parks and resorts. Have a look! Can you guess where this particular [...]
Every time we travel to Walt Disney World – whoever I’m with – we daydream about our ideal Disney job. Whether we’re planning ahead for seasonal employment in semi-retirement, or imagining running away from the real world and joining the work force that brings magic to guests every day of the year, it’s something that [...]
I was at my brother-in-law Barry’s house the day before I went to Walt Disney World in early December. We were talking about the trip, and he – somewhat jokingly – said “Hey, tape that part of the Magical Express video where they welcome you aboard. I want to have that in my car and [...]
I have what you might call “eclectic” musical tastes. I love Iron Maiden, but I also love bluegrass. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones are probably one of my favorite bands, along with Tom Waits, The Pogues and Govt. Mule. I’m all over the place. So when I was sitting on a bench (as I am [...]
How can I tell I’ve been writing a lot? Check out this picture of my desk. It’s solid wood, bought a few years ago. This is where I wrote “Mousejunkies,” “Mousejunkies 2” (due out in the spring) and where I write features for the Boston Herald and my columns for Parenting NH Magazine. It’s also [...]
When I first started going to Walt Disney World, I’d blow a lot of money on souvenirs. I’ve slowed the spending a bit, but I still have one serious weakness: Disney watches. So when I checked out the Disney Parks Blog the other day and saw an entry all about Mickey watches, I was all [...]
Everyone has their favorite snack or drink at Walt Disney World. For example, a lot of people like Dole Whips because they’re not readily available elsewhere and they taste wicked good. For me, however, it’s the Blue Drank. Sure, blue Powerade is available pretty much anywhere. Were I not feeling so incredibly lazy right now, [...]
