Heeeeellllooooo fellow Disney fanatics! I’m back again, and this time with something that will knock your socks off. Today’s topic has me so excited that I’m not sure I can even string words together so that they make sense. I’m sure that when you finish reading this article you will be equally as excited, if not more so.

Today, I have a special article for you all. This article, while not necessarily about Disney, concerns something that (obviously) was very close to Walt’s heart – families. When I say families I should say that I am focusing mostly on mothers today, after all, this article today is dedicated to all the mothers all over the world.

In the first part of this Disney Cruise series we talked about reasons to take a Disney Cruise, and some of the things that there are to do onboard the ship for children and teenagers. Today we will talk about the many things that there are to do for adults. There is so much to do as an adult while onboard that it’s hard to believe you’re on a ship in the middle of the ocean.

Since our honeymoon my wife and I have enjoyed taking Disney Cruise vacations; in this article I’m going to highlight some of our favorite features and give you a little information about the Disney Cruise. It seems that Disney has once again thumbed their collective noses at the other entertainment industries, this time specifically towards the other cruise lines. With the formation of the Disney Cruise Line a whole new world of Disney themed vacations was opened up, young or old - DCL has something for everyone.

A Show by Any Other Name

When I woke up this morning there were two things on my mind. The first was what to write for my next article and the second was if I should shoot my weatherman. You see it’s a well known fact that the weatherman controls the weather. Well mine has been down right stingy with the snow this year. In fact we’ve had no snow, not even a light dusting for Christmas. This weatherman should be tried for his crimes against humanity. Then somewhere in my half awake state of mind, while thinking of all the great ideas I have for this column and contemplating the ways this weatherman has wronged me by not sending snow or ice, it all became mixed up – Disney winter…Disney winter…Disney ice...Disney on Ice! In that instant I knew what to write about.

A lifelong search for magical memories...
Posted on - 11/25/2004
Hello, I am Scott Short one of the new writers here at Mickey News. I grew up in upstate New York, the adopted son of two teachers. My grandparents spent the winter months in a retirement community near Arcadia, FL and it was our family tradition to spend our Christmas break with them. Being the good parents that they are, my parents knew a good thing when they saw it – Disney World. That meant an important part of our yearly trip was a visit to the Magic Kingdom. Since “growing up” I’ve gone on 4 Disney cruises and visited the parks a number of times with my wife.
