Disney World Pre-Trip Jitters: Tips for Taking It Easy
March 15, 2022
The symptoms? Insomnia, rapid heartbeat and breathing, racing thoughts, and distraction. It must be that my trip to Walt Disney World is approaching. I often experience pre-trip anxiety before vacation. It’s irrational, illogical and irritating. Disney is my home, my safe place that I look forward to. Yet I experience anticipatory anxiety. While common, I have learned over the years to expect it, accept it, and work on it to alleviate the jitters. What am I so worried about anyway?!
The National Museum of American History is looking for people like us! That’s right, Disney fans! The Smithsonian wants us to participate in a future project for their museum in Washington, D.C. We can help be a part of this project by submitting our Disney photos, which I think is very exciting as loyal Disneyphiles.

Betty White: Honoring a Beloved Disney Legend
January 14, 2022
I had no idea that Betty White was a Disney Legend. There are so many fun facts and so much to celebrate from her 99 years of life; we will all miss this beloved American icon. She passed away over the holidays, not quite making it with us to the new year ahead. Her Disney ties run deep, her comedy continues to light up our television screens, and even now she keeps me calm on those nights of insomnia when fears try to overcome me.
