Spontaneous Walt Disney World, Seizing the Evening at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

November 16, 2017 by Deanna Tousignant 1 Comment

I know people PLAN Disney. They plan the heck out of Disney. They plan when they will eat, and where, and make reservations months in advance. They plan exactly which rides they're going to go on and what order they're going to ride them in. There is even some Fast Pass deal where you can register for rides ahead of time. Planned. Every minute. Out the wazoo. But something … [Read more...]

Disney’s Tangled Before Ever After, Now on DVD

April 11, 2017 by Deanna Tousignant 3 Comments

Disney's Tangled Before Ever After comes out on DVD today. I am guessing most of you have seen Tangled, Disney's take on the Rapunzel story. It shouldn't surprise any of my regular readers to know that my long hair obsessed kiddos enjoyed the original film. I liked it too. Rapunzel holds her own in a fight, wields a mean frying pan, and does as much saving as she herself … [Read more...]

Silly Old Bear, 1980s version

September 4, 2014 by holly p Leave a Comment

I know I just posted a photo of me at Disney World a couple weeks back, but I found this picture of me and a terrifying Pooh Bear and couldn't resist. When I showed it to my daughter Grace she screamed "Ah! It looks like he's going to eat you! Like he could come through the photo and eat us both right now!!" I also found an old Disney World guide book that had photo tips. … [Read more...]

Enjoy Feisty Pint-Sized Adventure with Disney’s The Pirate Fairy

April 6, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

My daughters love pirates. Captain Hook style hats, eye patches, scarves and cutlasses abound in our playclothes bin. My girls also love fairies. Pixie dust, flitting wings and weird shadows; excited shouts of bedroom fairy sightings are a regular occurrence at our place. Pirates and Fairies together? The mere idea is almost too much excitement for their them to bear (Whenever … [Read more...]

Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Jake’s Never Land Rescue {Review}

November 22, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Last week the big kid had a cold. She stayed home sick from school, which was the perfect excuse for a Jake and the Never Land Pirates marathon. I knew my daughters liked this show but aside from a quarter of an episode that we watched together in a hotel room over the summer I had never seen it myself. The girls snuggled down, and I set up the TV fully planning to sneak off … [Read more...]

Memories & Mom Guilt a.k.a. Disney’s The Little Mermaid

September 27, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

The Little Mermaid. This is a Disney movie I have such fond memories of. I remember taking a trip to Florida to visit family, and visiting the newly opened MGM Studios at Walt Disney World. There are so many parts of that day that stand out in my mind; the rides, the stars, the food, but my fondest memories is of walking through the animation studio area and standing … [Read more...]

Disney’s Brother Bear & Brother Bear 2 {Review}

March 27, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I had the chance to review Disney's Brother Bear Blu-ray Combo Pack. This two movie collection includes both Brother Bear and Brother Bear 2, digitally restored and in hi-def. I had seen Disney's Brother Bear when it originally came out on DVD a few years back, in my pre-mom days. I remember watching it while child-minding for a friend, and enjoying it at the time. I wasn't … [Read more...]

Curious Mom asks… Are you taking your kids to go see Oz The Great and Powerful?

March 8, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

My five year old daughter doesn't read yet. She recognizes a handful of words, Mom, Dad, her name, her sister's name, and Oz. She's crazy about the Oz books, which we're still reading each night at bedtime. She often looks over my shoulder when I'm online, and she has noticed ads for Oz the Great and Powerful. Of course she read the word "Oz", and instantly became interested, … [Read more...]

A couple of reasons why I’m looking forward to seeing Oz The Great and Powerful…

March 7, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I'm not usually the type to head out on opening night to see a flick. In fact I rarely see movies in the theater at all. But this one has me ridiculously excited and here's why: First, the soundtrack. It's by my one of my all time favourite composers, Danny Elfman. Almost reason enough to line up right there. Secondly, the China Girl character. Let me explain... If you … [Read more...]

Phineas and Ferb: The Perry Files DVD set

June 12, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Let me preface this by saying, I like cartoons. I like them in an "I was totally watching them when I had no kids as an excuse" kind of way. Though I have to confess, I had never heard of Phineas and Ferb until the offer arrived in my inbox to review this DVD. The concept for The Perry Files DVD intrigued me -- A collection of stories featuring an undercover secret agent … [Read more...]
