I want to introduce everyone to a new series we’ll be doing on the blog.   It’s called Memories: …. The idea of this series is to showcase Walt Disney World and Disneyland from the past: everything from long gone attractions, shows, and elements  to our own personal experiences.  We hope that you enjoy seeing our [...]

Walt Disney once said, “I have learned from the animal world, and what everyone will learn who studies it is a renewed sense of kinship with the Earth and all its inhabitants.” It is not surprising, then, that the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund (DWCF) recently awarded the Appalachian Bear Rescue (ABR) a $5,000 grant to [...]

Hey!  <Shake…shake…shake> wake up!   <Tap…tap…tap> come over here, there’s something we need to talk about.  I’m not sure everyone is aware of what’s going on, but we need to get something out on the table.  Sometimes things can happen under the radar and we aren’t even aware of it, but that’s not going to happen [...]

Disneyland Adventures is being released November 15 for the Xbox 360 with Kinect.  This isn’t typically something we would cover here on the DIS Unplugged, but after testing out this game at the D23 Expo in August, I knew I had to play this game again…and definitely had to tell you all about it.  In the [...]

Our family has seen “The Lion King” countless times – in the theater, on stage, in 3D, and at home.  We rushed to see Disneynature’s African Cats and help “Save the Savanna.” Therefore, when we had a chance to see the big cats during a sleepover experience at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, we couldn’t resist.  Continue after the [...]
