The happiest blog on Earth
Hello lovely readers!
In my second installment of my new series, The Best of Disney, I have decided to cover Hollywood Studios (previously known as MGM). I love this park a lot and it is going to be getting a whole bunch of upgrades in the coming year, but I'll let you know what the best is as of now. Without further ado...

Hello everyone! Sorry about the major delay in posts recently; it has been exam time and I just haven't had time to post. As summer begins on Wednesday, I promise I will be posting loads! I am going to finish my Best of Disney series for starters, and then I want to follow the new changes to parks happening this summer. To tide you over until that happens, though, check out the Beauty and the Beast teaser Disney released today. See you soon!
Hello Disnerds! I recently renewed my D23 membership, which is basically Disney's exclusive club. Membership (there are different levels) can give you opportunities like a monthly magazine, special entrance to events, access to the Walt Disney archives, and more. I definitely recommend joining the club, if not for anything else but the FREE MOVIES! Yes, you heard me correctly! Because I am a D23 member and happen to live right outside of Atlanta, Disney gave me two free tickets to the early screening of the new live action film The Jungle Book on Wednesday. Along with my friend Hope, I got some cool merch and a chance to see the beautiful film. For this blog I vlogged the experience, and you can check that out below! You can also check out my offical review of the movie for The Chant below (I will put a link), and I will put the website for anyone wondering more about D23. Enjoy your weekend, go see The Jungle Book, and sign up for D23! Hello Disnerds and lovely readers of this blog!Major apologies for the impromptu hiatus I took! Everything piled up at once, but now it is Spring Break and, save for finals, the school year will be winding down. Because I kind of ran out of idea of content to post, I've decided to take on a huge task that I have no idea if you guys will really care about: going through each Disney World park discuss the best attractions, entertainment, and dining options. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
For each section of each park, I'm going to try to choose the two best attractions, shops, and restaurants. I apologize in advance for going over that limit; the honest truth is that there is no bad choice at Disney World. I would love to continue this series for Disneyland once I visit the park (hopefully soon if my travel plans are correct), so keep an eye out for that. I thought I would start this long series with the park that most people start at: Magic Kingdom. You've been through the engagement process and officially had your wedding ceremony, so what's next? A Disney honeymoon of course! Disney offers a huge variety of honeymoon destinations and packages as well as specific coordinators who will work with you to make your experience magical.

Hey Disnerds! Quick update: I am almost done with Part Three of the Disney Weddings series (the honeymoon!), but it's so much information so it takes forever. Hopefully that will be up soon, though. Today is Oscar Sunday, and Disney is up for nine Academy Awards!

With three different wedding collections, Disney provides hundreds of customizable options to make your special day as beautiful as any Disney character's. *Note: I'm sorry this took forever to post, but that's because it took forever to write! Let's Tie the KnotDisney weddings come in three different collections: Wishes, Memories, and Escape. Wishes is the most customizable, with the most options and the largest guest count. Memories accommodates up to 4 guests in addition to the couple, while Escape accommodates up to 18. VenuesFloralWith the option to create customizable bouquets, boutonnieres, and other floral arrangements for your wedding, Disney will handle all things floral. The extent of your flowers depends on the collection you purchase. CakesDisney's amazing patisserie can create any cake you wish, with loads of fun toppers and themes. Flavors and colors are customizable to your theme. Food and BeveragesDepending on your choice of reception venue and the season, Disney's food and beverage options vary. Nonetheless, they always incorporate fresh ingredients and creative menus with your choice of food item. Photography and VideographyDisney offers ceremony photography, videography, and specialty portrait sessions depending on the location. Options even include a movie made out of your wedding ceremony. TransportationThis is the really fun part: unique transportation. At Disney parks, transportation to and from your ceremony can take place in a horse-drawn carriage, vintage cars, limousines, motor coach charters, and even Cinderella's Coach! EntertainmentEntertain your guests with a variety of acts: from soloists, to duets, to bands, to DJs, to more themed entertainment. Disney offers a wide variety of instrument choices for soloists and bands. As for the themed entertainment, you can book Disney characters to show up at your reception or have trumpeters announce your arrival. Disney will even send in tacky tourists to entertain your guests if you so choose. OverallDisney offers such a huge variety of wedding options that no two weddings at the most magical place on Earth will ever be the same. To learn more about certain collections or options, or to start estimating the cost of your dream wedding, check out the Disney Weddings website here. For Step 3: The Honeymoon, follow this blog!For most Disney fans, the wedding of their dreams has one obvious destination: a Disney park. The idea of exchanging vows with Cinderella's castle in the background invokes butterflies in the stomach. For most people, just the prospect sounds expensive, but I am here, as your magical fairy godmother, to say that it is not as bad as you think it is! With weddings currently reaching crazy new heights in expense, committing to your soulmate at the most magical place on earth won't require selling your voice or killing your stepdaughter. Step One: The EngagementIf you want to start out magical and invite your significant other to spend his or her life with you in the most magical place on Earth, think about proposing at Disney! Through Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings service, Disney experts will help you to propose at one of four locations: Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or Aulani Disney Resort and Spa. Disney's website has a list of ideas for proposals at each of these locations, including the number for floral arrangements, horse drawn carriage rides, spa trips, and more. Each location offers different services, so be sure to choose the right locale for you.
Let's talk about price. If you were to do all of the above activities at each park, they certainly are expensive. If you are more frugal and normal and you choose maybe one or two, these proposals won't break the bank. Best of all: they'll be a proposal you will never forget. For more information and links, read Disney's Engagement website here. For Step Two: The Wedding, keep up with this blog!Hey Disnerds,
