DISNEY Q&A:

1. What is your favorite Disney movie and why?

Hocus Pocus is one my favorites…so cheesy and ridiculous, and I absolutely love it! Halloween is my favorite holiday so that probably has something to do with it! I have actually dressed up as Sarah Sanderson twice!

2. Who is your favorite Disney character and why?

Mickey Mouse is my #1…I mean, it was all started by a mouse, right? He just makes me happy every time I see him!

3. When was the last time you were at a Disney Park?

I am lucky enough to be a passholder and live about an hour and a half from the WDW resort so I try to go as often as I can…probably about once a month on average.

4. What is your favorite ride/attraction at any Disney Park and why?

Haunted Mansion is hands down my favorite attraction. Hard to say why, I am just drawn to it. When I am having a rough day, I will listen to the ride soundtrack…guess I am just a weird one! LOL!

5. Do you have a favorite restaurant or quick service location at a Disney Park?

The Jungle Skipper Canteen is probably my current favorite restaurant and Casey’s Corner is my favorite for quick service.

6. Are you a fan of the Disney Princesses? If so, which one and why?

Is there really anyone who isn’t a fan of the princesses? They are awesome and it was fun watching my daughter grow up watching them and loving them. I don’t know that I really have a favorite, I love them all for different reasons.

7. Do you have any Disney collections? If so, what do you collect?

I have a collection of Disney Dooney & Bourke, mostly the Haunted Mansion ones. I have a Pandora Disney bracelet…love collecting the charms for it. And of course, I collect anything Haunted Mansion! LOL!

8. Do you decorate with Disney during the holidays?

I always incorporate a little Disney in our home whether it is the holidays or not, so of course we have a few Disney touches during the holidays.

9. How often do you go to a Disney Park? 

I am lucky enough to be an Annual Passholder and live about an hour and a half from the WDW Resort so I go as often as I can…maybe an average of once a month or so.

10. Rope drop or not?

Always love Rope Drop!

11. Do you have a favorite night-time show? 

The Main Street Electrical Parade was always a favorite of mine, especially the original.

12. Do you have a tradition when you are at a Disney Park (the “must-do” list)? 

I always make it a point to ride the Haunted Mansion and if my daughter is with me, we also ride Peter Pan. I like to find something new to try each time we go too, new treats or drinks.

13. What is your favorite land and why?

I don’t really have a favorite land, I honestly just love being at the parks.

14. Do you hunt for hidden Mickey’s?

Of course!

15. Do you have a favorite time of year to go to a Disney Park?

I love going during Halloween as it is my favorite holiday and since we don’t get much in the way of Fall and leaves changing here in Florida, I love the fall color that Walt Disney World adds. Christmas is a fun time as well as I go with a few girlfriends, and we hop from resort to resort having a different cocktail and seeing all the different Christmas decorations.

16. How old were you the first time you went to a Disney Park and what is your first memory?

I was 4 the first time I went to WDW. I can remember riding It’s a Small World.

17. What’s your favorite traditional Disney treat?

Mickey pretzel.

18. Have you ever made a copy-cat Disney food item at home?

Yes, I have a mini Mickey waffle maker so we have mini waffles quite a bit!

19. Do you have any pets named after a Disney character?

Our cat is named Abby Rose (from Chicken Little and Sleeping Beauty).

20. What is your ideal Disney Park day?

I have to say, I am not overly picky…any day I can be at a Disney park is an ideal day for me!
