Since the dawn of October 1993, mankind has struggled with this question: is The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? I don’t know why, though; the answer is obviously both. But here’s something to ponder on your next viewing, to occur any time between now and the end of the year: have you ever noticed...

I’ll tell you why I signed up for the Princess Half Marathon Weekend Fairytale Challenge this year. It wasn’t the featured princesses – it was the addition of the Disney villains. Yes, it’s Princess Week, but let’s take things in an alternate direction, shall we? IT’S GOOD TO BE BAD I know I’m not alone in this. It’s hardly...

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...

Here on the Disney blogosphere, I am one obsessive among many, and a middling one at that. But out in the real world, amongst the normals, I am That Disney Girl. The one you avoid when you do not want to talk about Disney… and who you run to if you need to talk to someone about Disney. It’s...

Got a minute for some nostalgia on nostalgia on nostalgia for today’s Happy Friday post? Yeah? Donald Duck will be there – yeah, I figured you’d like that. Also we’re doing some math – NO WAIT COME BACK! Not math math. More like “your teacher is hungover and therefore will be replacing the lesson plan with a movie” math....

It has recently come to my attention that that seminal piece of Disney musical history, the brilliant “Sister Suffragette” brought so beautifully to life by Glynis Johns as Mrs. Banks, is omitted from the Broadway version of Mary Poppins. This is a TRAVESTY and I will tell you why. But first, should we just watch it real quick? Let’s...

Normally my Thoughts While Watching posts revolve around vintage park media, like the Disneyland opening day TV broadcast or, most recently, the 1993 WDW vacation planning video. Muppets Haunted Mansion, by contrast, just came out last week, but I think it’ll still work for the brief: normally we are viewing the Disney parks through the lens of the past,...

This is not a review of Colourpop Disney cosmetics so much as it is, shall we say, a revue of them. I show them to you so that we might ooh and ah at their splendor. I’ll offer my thoughts, of course, but I’m a mere makeup tyro. In it for some pretty colors, fun names, and SUPER cute...
