While the happiest place on Earth might not be everyone’s cup of tea, any Disneyphile will be hard pressed to come up with a list shorter than their own arm to visit again and again. For some, it’s simple nostalgia. Others might enjoy being on the receiving end of Disney’s world famous service and courtesy. Foodies, shutterbugs, and geeks of all ages and walks of life share common ground on this hallowed soil.

I am an observer, and Disney has offered up a feast of flawless detail. I’ve tried to do more than just document the sights of my second home. Through perseverance and the help of just a little bit of pixie dust, maybe I’ve managed to capture and preserve my version of “doing Disney.”
