To those of you visiting this site for the first time, welcome. To those of you who have been here before, welcome back. I’ve had this blog for almost three years now, and I write about everything from tips on navigating the parks, to Disney recipes, to film commentary, to ranty nonsense about whatever latest thing is happening.
I guess you could say I was raised on the Mouse. I grew up watching all the classic Disney animated films, begged for an upgraded cable package when The Disney Channel was introduced in the 80's (to no avail, I might add), then became glued to the TV when The Disney Channel became part of the basic cable package in 1996. My family and I went to WDW for the first time when I was about six or so, and then we went every few years during my childhood, and finally became DVC members when I was in my early twenties. Since then, we’ve been visiting the parks nearly every year, and it’s been wonderful.
I decided to start a blog after realizing that a Twitter account couldn’t really contain all the things I wanted to write about. I also recognize that my family isn’t what most people would consider “typical” Disney travelers – it’s just me, my mom, and my sister. No kids, no spouses, just three grown adults enjoying WDW together. I hope that our experiences bring a different perspective to the blogosphere, and if nothing else, it means that I talk about margaritas a lot.
And the name? Years ago, I was in a bar with friends and some guys started talking to us. It happened to come up during the conversation that I was leaving the following week for vacation, they asked me where I was going, I said to WDW, everybody looked at me strangely, the conversation moved on. I left the bar early to head to another shindig, and after I left, one of the guys asked my friend, “So what happened to that other girl? You know, the Disney Chick?” And history was made.

I always wanted to know the story behind your blog name - how fun! My husband's family has gone to WDW every year since their honeymoon so when we got married, it was just a given that I'd go along too. I totally "drank the koolaid" on the first trip and now I'm more a fan than they are!
What a cool name to be known by! :D Great first MB Black post! :D
That is so cool about how you got your name. Congrats on the Mag. Blogorail, loved reading about you. I'm a DVC member too and love it. Love Margaritas too, we have a lot in common.LOL
Welcome to the Magical Blogorail! You can find me over on the Red line! Great post, I too liked the story of how you got your name! You can call me Mickey or Mike, I was called Mickey when I was a kid, but have recently reclaimed the nickname back. Take care!

Love the name The Disney Chick - what a cool name to be known by! :)
Welcome to the Blogorail! I was somehow able to convince my parents to get the Disney Channel in the 80s. I loved watching the Mickey Mouse club. Love how you got your name! :o)
I just found you through the Blogorail! Looking forward to browsing around more :)
Great story on the name. I wonder if a chick in a bar ever called me the "Disney Dude:)" Look forward to reading more of your adventures with Mom and Sis.
Well Disney Chick, you need to find a more "with it" crowd to hang out with; like your Blogorail Buddies. Great story; and I too always wondered where the name came from.
Welcome to the Magical Blogorail! How fun that you travel with your mom and sister. Now that's what I call Girls' Night Out!!!
