I felt like Mission Space was the perfect place to catch one of the last launches that we may see, at least for awhile. You … Continue reading "September Disney World Calendar"

Last year when I went the Character Connection was kind of hidden so we … Continue reading "Walt Disney World as a Teen!!! Part 6"
