We recently had the chance to see Mary Poppins Returns, and thought we’d share our thoughts in a spoiler-free review.

In an era when Disney seems to announce new unnecessary “live action” remakes on a weekly
Walt Disney’s Disneyland by Chris Nichols is the latest coffee table art book by TASCHEN. In this review, we’ll share photos of this giant tome, our thoughts on whether it’s worth the money, and where this ranks in our library of over 100 books about Disneyland and Walt Disney World. For those unfamiliar with TASCHEN, they

I was probably one of the last 7 Disney fans on earth to see the new live-action Beauty and the Beast film, and now that it’s out of theaters and the Beauty and the Beast Blu-ray has been out for a few weeks, it seems the “perfect” time to review it. Hey, better late than never, right? No? Well…whatever.
Happily Ever After is the new fireworks show in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
