The Disney Blog Week in Review: April 29 – May 3

Can it seriously be the weekend? Apparently it is – because here we are going over the week before with a fine toothcomb. Is it me or are the weeks going by faster?

In the meanwhile, let’s talk about what we covered this week in the Disney Blog: Sunday, April 29 We talked about … Continue reading →

The Disney Blog Week in Review for April 23 – 26

I love Disney.
