There's a ton of cool stuff going on in the Disney parks this Summer! There's the Soundsational Summer in Disneyland (including the incredible show World of Color), and Disney World has the Sounds Like Summer Concert Series, not to mention it's 2 awesome water parks!

Lightning McQueen joins Lights Motors Action!

Over at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World, the very popular attraction Lights Motors Action Extreme Stunt Show (A really cool stunt show for the whole family!) is going to be joined with Lightning McQueen! There are hardly any details out yet, but it will debut later in the Summer.

Quote of the day:
Lightning McQueen: Turn right to go left! Guess what? I tried it, and you know what? This crazy thing happened - I went right!
Lizzie: You keep talkin' to yourself, people will think you're crazy.
Lightning McQueen: [sarcastically] Thanks for the tip!
Lizzie: Uh - what? I wasn't talking to you! 

A little bit about me,

I've been watching Disney movies, playing with Disney action figures and going to Disney parks for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family lived right outside of Los Angeles, and we were about an hour drive away from Disneyland. Disney has always been a part of my life, my parents had annual passes, and once we (my 2 older sisters Amanda, Hanna and I) were old enough, we got one too. My mom homeschooled us, and my dad ran his own business, so we had the freedom to go to Disneyland anytime we pleased. I loved the days my mom would wake us up early and surprise us with a day at Disneyland! It didn't matter how many times we went there, or even if we  had gotten older, the magic that only a Disney park has was always there.
The photo above was me and my Dad in Disneyland, taken in 2002 on my 7th birthday. Whenever I was asked what I wanted to do for my birthday, Disneyland was always my first choice, what better place to celebrate than the Happiest Place on Earth?

In 2008 my parents told me, my 2 older sisters, and my younger sister (Olivia, 7), that we were moving to the Gulf Coast of Alabama. It was a shock at first, but it was better for my Dad's business, my grandparents lived there, and it was only an 8 hour drive to Disney World! By 2010 we were completely moved in and me, Olivia and my parents had annual passes to Disney World (Amanda and Hanna went to college in Birmingham, so they didn't get one). Obviously it took a lot more planning to go to Disney World, but we were able to surprise Olivia a couple of times.

Just recently my parents, once again, announced a move, but this time to Orlando, Florida! We've barely even started packing, but I am really excited to be a short drive away from a Disney park again! Once we live in Orlando I will be able to post about the newest attractions and exciting things going on in Disney World.
Thanks for reading!

Star Tours opening,

Over in Disney's Hollywood Studios (Orlando, Florida) and in Disneyland (Anaheim, California) the Disney team have completely redone Star Tours. On my last trip to Disney World I had the opportunity to ride it, and it was really awesome! There are over 50 different combinations of the ride, so it's very rare to get the same experience twice. I thought it was very well done, and everyone in my family loved it too!

If that's not selling you already, check out what happens when Darth Vadar goes to Disneyland to ride it:

My First Post

This is my first post.

Not going to lie, I am new at this whole blogging thing.  But I have a lot of Disney stories, tips and a few secrets that I would like to share (don't worry about I'm not about to sell the Disney Vacation Club plan, which is clearly not Disney's best kept secret).  I might only be 15, but so far I been to three out of the five disney parks around the world, have traveled on all three of the Disney Cruise Ships, and have met the one and only, Mickey Mouse.

I have a lot to share with you so stick around and enjoy.
