Gingerbread Man – A Month of Thanksgiving
I am not a huge treats/sweets guy. I tend to prefer savory. If I were to choose between a fancy dessert and a nice steak, I’d almost always choose the nice steak. However, I do love me a good gingerbread man cookie from the Disneyland Resort. I don’t need anything fancy, I just want the…

Horse-Drawn Street Car – A Month of Thanksgiving
One of the things I am really thankful for is the Horse-Drawn Street Car at Disneyland.

It brings a strong dose of nostalgia to…

Guide Maps – A Month of Thanksgiving
Someone, at some time, must have written the definitive statement on the difference between a collector and an accumulator. One is a high-toned caretaker of the rare and valuable. The other is a feckless acquirer who stops just short of being a hoarder. As one who has collected (accumulated?) a lot of Disneyland ephemera over…

Make-A-Wish – A Month of Thanksgiving
I am a strong proponent of using one’s influence and resources for good. One of the ways that The Walt Disney Company does this is through its partnership with Make-A-Wish. This partnership goes back 45 years, with over 170,000 wishes granted to kids with critical illnesses around the globe. In fact, Disney is the biggest…

Figment – A Month of Thanksgiving
Figment is one of my favorite Disney characters. This little purple dragon embodies the spirit of imagination, and looking at him always inspires me to use that muscle. He also makes me smile. He is lovable, funny, and uplifting. In many ways, I think he is a wonderful representation of the imagination of Walt Disney…
