Who is your favorite Disney Character and Why?

Gawrsh! Well, whaddya know? A-hyuck!

If you fed me a good dinner, I would probably confess that I have had a love affair with Goofy since I was a child. In fact, I am probably one of the few people in the world who actually knows that Goofy was called Dippy Dawg in the comic strip and then eventually, Mr. Geef in some cartoons. I know that his laugh was supplied by a professional clown named Pinto and that he was never intended to be an actual member of Mickey’s gang.

After a few martini’s, you would also find out that I know that some time between the 1950′s and the 1990′s Mr. Geef’s wife disappeared and he became a single parent. After a few shots I would probably tell you that Goofy reminds me of my Dad. He is silly and tall and full of life and he makes me laugh. Every time I see the movie “Goof Troop” I cry because his son Max treats him so badly and is embarrassed by his clumsiness. I want to give him a hug and tell him that no matter what he does, he will always be my favorite Disney character.

So, you can imagine my disappointment when I, on my October trip to Disney World, was unable to get a picture of, or with, the Big G. I was devastated when I had to leave the park to make a trip to the pharmacy twice to pick up an asthma inhaler because I lost mine on Mission Earth at Epcot.

And then, on December 11, 2008 at 4:34 AM, I received the following email from my soul-sister Tanyetta from Days Like These who, while on a trip with her family, remembered me.  (I hope that you don’t mind me posting it T):… Continue reading

Challenge Yourself; Challenge Others

DSCN2575.JPG Let’s face it- after being treated like a Princess by a company that makes a business out of, well Princesses, I found it hard to come down from my tower. Like my fellow amazing Disney Mom Blogger Mixer attendees, I too have had trouble accepting that I am just as normal as- well everyone else. However, as normal as I really am, I have to admit that this trip has changed me in ways that I never thought possible.

Overcoming ones fears can seem an impossible task. For me, the thought of flying sent me on a mission to put into writing, my last will and testament, as well as instructions on how my husband could check my email and update my blog in the even that something should happen to me while flying the endless blue skies. To say the least, I was petrified and very tempted to decline Disney PR Manager Michelle’ s invitation. After all, my family could not get me to fly, so why the heck would I fly for Disney. But, in an act that was completely out of character, I accepted the invitation (although, I did ask if they could send me train tickets instead).

So what got me on the plane?

I would be lying if I said that it was because I love Disney so much that I would never pass up a chance to visit. That may be the case now, but it sure wasn’t prior to my trip (a story for another day). The truth is that when someone who is addicted to blogging as much as I am is given the opportunity to meet the bloggers that she reads on a daily basis, it is almost impossible to decline. In fact, before I really thought about what saying… Continue reading
