It's been a busy week for me. I was in Florida for a series of over 15 talks, podcasts and events. One of which I'd like to share with you today.

Well the weather is finally heating up and it finally feels like summer is coming. And, of course, gas prices are going up and sucking the life out of our travel budget. I have a feeling that MickeyMaxx and I will be staying pretty close to home this summer. Luckily for us, close to home means we'll have to "settle" for Cars Land, Transformers, Manta, and so many other

I've talked about my love of souvenir guides before and I constantly find myself pulling those books off my shelves and taking a trip back to vintage Walt Disney World. 1970s and 1980s Walt Disney World was a vastly different vacation than you can have today. It's not only fun to see the strange fashions, but also to see the attractions and areas that are gone.
