Welcome to the first stop aboard Magical Blogorail Yellow. Enjoy the ride as we share with you what we would be if we could be a Disney cast member for a day. Oh, the possibilities! The "what ifs" are endless. If I had any artistic sensibility, I would love to work for Disney Floral & Gifts- talk about spreading some serious pixie dust! But since I have no such talents, I must go back to the "drawing board". How about playing a princess for a day? Well, I don't believe Disney has any, er, … [Read more...]
