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.

Probably my favorite area of Disney fandom is the music. Music is what binds us all into a unified moment of pure happiness and meaningful experiences. Dancing, singing, clapping, swaying; we do it all when there’s great music. And what a wonderful “Welcome, 2022” surprise to find out DIS Radio is back on the air! Yes! Pete Werner recently announced its return which you can find on Free Internet Radio – Live365.

Recently a family member who hasn’t been to Walt Disney World in three years was excited to share with me the news of her impending trip. What this family member didn’t know, and was surprised to hear, was that so much has changed about planning and vacationing. She felt overwhelmed. I thought it was a good time as we see Spring 2022 ahead of us to highlight what a Walt Disney World vacationer who hasn’t been in awhile has missed. A debriefing so to speak of what she really needs to know, highlighting essential tips so she understands that it is the same Walt Disney World, but with important changes that will affect her planning ahead.

Oh, my what an uproar over a pair of pants! April 12th will be Disneyland Paris’ 30th anniversary; happy anniversary to the Disney fans in Europe! However, the scene stealer of the day will be Minnie Mouse. It was announced that she will be wearing pants.

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.
