Welcome!

I've been back home nearly two weeks now, and have finally been able to get my photos and a trip report up on Disfriends. Sorry, but I was busy! I had work, two birthday parties and got a new girlfriend in the course of that two weeks!

Anyways, I fulfilled a lifelong ambition by going to Japan from the 11th to the 23rd of November. I grew up on anime, Godzilla and Nintendo, and visiting the Land of the Rising Sun was one of those things that I always told myself I was going to do "some day". So… Continue

Disney is a specific brand within the larger Walt Disney Company, as is Marvel, and I always find it jarring when that brand is mixed with other brands. If Indiana Jones wasn't such a fantastic ride, I don't think I could forgive it being in Adventureland. Twilight Zone is so variable that it doesn't really matter, but in a lot of ways it does feel like I'm stepping out of Disney in order to step into the Tower of Terror. And… Continue
