Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Helium + String = Magic
“Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.” (1) . . . especially if it’s a Mickey balloon. As I was trying to decide what to blog about, my husband suggested Mickey Mouse balloons and I thought how fun. Boy was I wrong. There’s not a lot of information available
Disney Board Games!
Like many families I tend to try and find ways to reconnect without technology. Don’t get me wrong we love technology. Plus we love movie nights, and even just watching regular tv together. But sometimes we need to disconnect from technology so we do that with board games. We ha

Disney World Has Everything You Could Want & Need for Halloween!
Halloween has arrived at Disney World. Magic Kingdom is already decorated for the holiday, and the stores throughout the parks are fillied with Halloween merchandise to purchase. Look at these skeletan ears you could be wearing. I love how it combines fun and creepiness. Cost is 24.95

Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Hide and Seek
One of the exciting things to result from Marvel becoming part of the Disney family is the introduction of new comic book series. Namely, Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird. The coolest aspect in this new series is the history behind the project: The original vision for the Haunted
FROZEN Arrives at Club Penguin!
My kids have been members on Club Penguin for years…my 9 year old still plays and my 4 year old has been a member for a little over a year. I have to admit, even I have been known to go on there and fish or play Card-jitsu (shhh…don’t tell). Yesterday morning my 4
Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Marvelous Worlds
My love of comics goes back to the 70s and my cousin, Tim, who collected them. Conveniently, Tim lived across the street from the 7 Eleven, where comics and Slurpees were obtained many Saturday mornings. We would either read through them at his house or at my uncle’s automotive
Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Postmodern Mouse
One of my favorite architects is celebrating a birthday this week – Michael Graves. Utilizing Disney characters and symbols in his designs, this leader of the Postmodern movement, provided Disney with enchanting buildings as well as household objects. Lets take a look at his pro
Tuesdays With the Timekeeper ~ Please Remain Seated
From the first time I rode a roller coaster, I was hooked. The speed, the thrills, and the excitement of anticipation combine into an unmatchable adrenaline rush. Disney has Imagineered a few coaster firsts for its parks: The Matterhorn Bobsleds (1959) was the first steel roller coast

June 17, 1821 marks the birth of John Henry Pepper, a British scientist and inventor, who perfected the projection technique called ‘Pepper’s ghost’. The first known writing of this illusion appeared in 1584. Giambattista della Porta wrote in his work, Magia Naturali
Tuesdays with the Timekeeper – Finding Nemo’s Organ
One of the greatest steampunk novels ever written was turned into one of Disney’s best action films – 20,000 League Under the Sea. And, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful Victorian sets created. Harper Goff’s shark-like Nautilus, which was created to have the a
Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Flying Tires?
The first time I remember seeing a hovercraft was while watching Star Wars in 1977 – I was six years old. At the time it seemed quite possible that “a long time ago” would hit around the year 2000 and we’d all be driving in hovercars. By the time I was a teen t
Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Hearing Is Believing
Binaural recording: a method of recording sound that uses two microphones arranged in a manner to create a 3-D stereo sensation in which the listener feels he is actually in the room with the performers or instruments. This is often created using a mannequin head with a microphone pla
