Hello! My name is Jenny and I’ve been smitten with Mickey… and most things Disney, for as long as I can remember. I love his simplicity, his kindness and his longevity, but most of all I love his optimism. How can a mouse be so inspiring?
Several years ago I planned my first trip to Disney World as a parent. I remember feeling completely overwhelmed with the quantity of decisions required and strangely nervous that I would somehow get the experience “wrong.” I asked friends and family for help and scoured the internet looking for advice.
As you probably know by finding this blog, there is a TON of fan advice about Disney out there. Some of it not so kind (10 things to ruin you vacation!) and a lot of it oddly contradicting (love this restaurant!, hate this restaurant!). Honestly, it just made me more confused.
Then we went to Disney World and I fell in love with Disney all over again. The planning definitely helped, but it didn’t make the trip. Spending time in the parks with my family reminded me of so many positive pursuits that life tends to bump off our to-do lists. Stuff like be creative, have fun and keep dreaming.
It made me realize that at some point I had stopped dreaming.
Have you?
I started this blog to try to recreate some of the magic of the Disney parks wherever life takes us and to promote some of these life pursuits we tend to put on the back burner.
Whether you have questions regarding an upcoming trip to Disney World, want ideas for adding fun to your day or just need a smile on a particularly rough day, you are welcome here. My hope is that you’ll find my posts informative, inspiring, humorous or (best case!?) some combination of the three.
Thanks so much for visiting smittenwithmickey today!
Add a little magic to your world!
