Disney 100 Celebrations

Walt statue

October 16, 2023 is officially the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. This was the day when Walt and Roy Disney signed the contract to create their first animated short in a little humble studio in California soon after arriving from their hometown in Missouri. The rest, as they say, is history.

To celebrate these 100 years of great stories and characters, Disney debuted a new short film featuring over 500 beloved characters from its long list of featured films. Once Upon a Studio is available now for streaming on Disney+.

Once Upon a Studio

In addition, Disney has restored a 4K version of its first full-length feature animation, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, now also available for streaming on Disney+. There is a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray version too.

Disney100 on TikTok

TikTok and Disney have partnered together to create a unique Disney100 interactive experience on TikTok that features “unique Disney videos, trivia challenges, ‘Character Cards’ of favorite Disney characters to collect and trade, unique profile badges, and more. The new destination also lets you participate by creating your own videos with custom Disney effects and music. You can engage and connect with Disney fans while reliving favorite memories”. TikTok is also creating a Disney100 Playlist featuring popular hits from the Disney catalog.

Disney100: The Exhibition is traveling to various museums around the world still, currently in Chicago and London. The exhibit features tons of items from the Disney Archives and provides a look at the company’s achievements in films, parks, and many other facets.

Epcot 100

If you’re going to any of the Disney parks worldwide, you’ll see new decorations, events, foods, merchandise, and more commemorating this milestone. Some new rides and attractions are opening and for the next few months, there will be new Disney100 PhotoPass Magic Shots. Join in the festivities!

It’s been an amazing 100 years of unforgettable stories and memorable experiences. Do you have a Disney story?

Happy Disney100!

2023 Summer European Adventure

In late June and early July, we went on a three-week European Adventure across Lisbon, Madrid, Paris (Disneyland Paris), and London! We had an awesome time seeing so many sites and trying so many foods in each place. I’m finally almost done posting the tons of pictures that I took on my Instagram (adventures_by_anne). Check out my trip recap as well.

It was easy to get around and we got by fine speaking English primarily. The people were friendly, the sites were beautiful, and the food was delicious. We’ll definitely be back for more deep dives and to explore other parts of Europe. I encourage you to go too. Obviously, do all your research, but don’t be intimidated to plan a trip to another country. If you want to chat about a European trip, feel free to contact me.

Disney Parks Around The World – A Private Jet Adventure

This one sounds so incredible! You can take a private jet trip to all of the Disney Parks and several other iconic Disney locations around the world!

Spend 24 days jet-setting to 6 countries with the Adventures by Disney trip program, visiting 12 Disney theme parks, 3 Disney studios, and 3 iconic landmarks – the Taj Mahal, Pyramids of Giza, and Eiffel Tower! It includes private guides everywhere and VIP access for entrances, rides, and shows, lodging in deluxe resorts, dining in signature restaurants, plus many other Disney extras and the highly pampered Disney service level.

The total price is quite the initial sticker shock at $114,995 per person! Gasp! However, it includes so many extraordinary experiences that will probably add up pretty quickly, even if you can individually do them. This will be hard math to do! When can we win the lottery??

There are two trips scheduled for 2024, and bookings opening soon for them as well. They’re limited to 75 people per trip, so they could sell out quickly.

Booking will begin on the following dates:
* June 12: Previous Adventures by Disney guests who have traveled on 3+ Adventures
* June 14: All previous Adventures by Disney guests
* June 16: Golden Oak members
* June 19: General Public

For more details, including the full itinerary, of this trip, visit:

This definitely sounds like a bucket list item! Would you do it? Feel free to contact me if you want me to help you book it!
