Jessie Character Close Up!

Jessie the cowgirl was first introduced to us in Pixar’s 1999 film, Toy Story 2, where it’s discovered that Woody is actually part of an old tv show- Woody’s Roundup. Jessie and Bullseye, a horse, are introduced as his co-stars on the show and part of his ‘Roundup Gang’. One thing that I think ToyContinue reading “Jessie Character Close Up!”

Adventures in Toy Story Land

Last November was my first time back to Disney World since my program ended in 2015. It was also my first time experiencing the new Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! This was a land I was so excited to visit, I had read so much about it in the lead up to theContinue reading “Adventures in Toy Story Land”

My Thoughts on the Toy Story Franchise

It’s no secret that Pixar’s Toy Story films are key players in achieving the studio’s immense success. The first film was not only their introduction to the world, it was the first ever film to be completely computer animated. If you’re interested in the history of Pixar, Disney+ has an absolutely fascinating documentary called TheContinue reading “My Thoughts on the Toy Story Franchise”

Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwich

As a finale for Cinderella month, I thought I’d make a snack post that crosses over with next month’s theme! While Gus Gus would love this grilled three-cheese sandwich, it’s actually a recipe from Woody’s Lunchbox in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Disney shared the recipe with us on their Disney Parks blog last month, and IContinue reading “Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwich”

Cinderella’s Royal Table

Now, I have a confession to make, guys. Despite seeing Cinderella’s castle almost every day for 6 months, I haven’t actually dined there! I know, it’s criminal! To make up for it, I brought in an expert- Kayla, a server at Cinderella’s Royal Table- to tell us all about it. Kayla has worked at WaltContinue reading “Cinderella’s Royal Table”

Popcorn & Princesses: A History

Since I first started this blog about a month ago, I have been studying a short course on Blogging and Online Content with the University of Cambridge’s Institute of Continuing Learning. I wasn’t sure what to expect of the course, this blog, or myself, really. As next week is our last, we have been taskedContinue reading “Popcorn & Princesses: A History”

Cinderella’s Blue Ballgown Cocktail

For all those grown up Princes and Princesses! For today’s Cinderella-themed snack, I thought I’d try out a cocktail- if we’re going to be in quarantine, we might as well do it in style! All I knew was that I wanted it to be blue, partly to match Cinderella’s dress, and partly because it’s justContinue reading “Cinderella’s Blue Ballgown Cocktail”

Character Close Up: Anastasia Tremaine

Known for being a wicked stepsister, is there more to Anastasia Tremaine? Cinderella’s step-family are some of the original Disney villains, but a character that I find interesting is Anastasia. In the original film, she is essentially interchangeable with her sister Drizella. Both are whiny, childish and allround irritating characters. They don’t care how theirContinue reading “Character Close Up: Anastasia Tremaine”
