Hello and welcome back to my continuing series Thoughts While Watching, where we watch vintage-to-vintage-ish Disney media with modern eyes and wonder accordingly. Today we’re setting the time machine to waywayback – let’s visit Disneyland with Uncle Walt again! I’ve pulled another episode of The Wonderful World of Disney (Color?), this one called “Disneyland After Dark.” I went in excited…
Christmas in July is here! I held back my Thanksgiving Walt Disney World trip report due to time constraints, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you. Click here for the setup, and read all the posts in this report here. Onward! I was always under the impression that Walt Disney World during Thanksgiving week was likely to be a madhouse.…
Let’s close out the year in traditional fashion: The Nightmare Before Christmas in WDW! What’s this? What’s this? There’s color everywhere What’s this? There’s white things in the air What’s this? I can’t believe my eyes I must be dreaming Wake up, Jack, this isn’t fair! What’s this? What’s this? What’s this? There’s something very wrong What’s this? There’s people…
More WDW trip report! When we last left off, I had just finished the Wine & Dine Half Marathon. Obviously the first thing to do after a race, be it a sorta-kinda triumph or no, is to take a hot shower. Always a great time, that.
It’s Walt Disney World time again and let me tell you: it. NEVER. Gets. Old. Never. Wine & Dine race weekend ahoy! Once again, I approach this trip with some mild trepidation, as my right ankle has been acting up a bit. With a 10K and a half on the horizon, I’ll need to take it easy. But I’m confident…
Guess what? We’re taking my nieces to Walt Disney World for the first time EVER this November! Guess what else? They have NO IDEA. Indeed, my brother-in-law says he wants to keep them in the dark right until the moment they arrive at the parks. Now, these kids will be 6 and 9 at that point, and none so easily…
Hooray for trip reports! This trip report covers my April 2023 trip for the runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend. Read all the posts in this report here. Onward! I shall begin this recap of my vacation day in the Most Magical Place on Earth with a complaint, because of course I will. 🤪 Even if you carefully lay out a plan…
Holy smokes, kids; this is NOT NOT NOT the pre-trip WDW post I expected to write. I almost had to skip it entirely and IT. WAS. TERRIFYING. What happened, you ask? A sudden injury? A death? A work obligation? No! It was that most mundane emergency of the present decade: COVID exposure. Over the last week, I have tested and…
Oh, what the heck, let’s make it an annual tradition. Because I like doing it. 😀 And now: The Nightmare Before Christmas in Walt Disney World, 2022 Edition! What’s this? What’s this?

It’s time for my all-time favorite type of post: the trip report! See all the posts in my 2022 Wine & Dine Half Marathon trip report. Onward! By the time I got out of the post-race shower, Erika was back, followed shortly by Becky, who always enjoys a celebratory beer at the finish line. (Gotta remember my ID next time!)…
