Walking around Walt Disney World, you’re guaranteed to see hundreds of people wearing Disney clothing and accessories. Some of it’s from the Disney Store back home, some of it they just picked up at the theme park, and some of it they custom ordered so their group can match while on vacation.
From sneakers to t-shirts, I’ve been wearing Disney clothes for over 25 years. Over time, I’ve worn more of it at home in private, but I want that to change. Being a Disney fangirl is nothing to be ashamed of.
Like I said, I can’t resist walking into The Disney Store when I’m nearby. I’ve bought Disney things all over Canada and the United States, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I pick up something Disney related once I explore other countries.

When I went to New York last year, I made my first purchase of the trip at the Disney Store in Times Square. I love that store because there’s a ton of special products with a New York theme that you won’t find elsewhere. I picked up a black graphic t-shirt with mouse ears filled with icons of the city, such as Times Square, Central Park and the Empire State Building. It features Minnie Mouse dressed up as the Statue of Liberty too!
In Orlando this month, I picked up 2 accessories: silver sequin Minnie Mouse ears and a printed scarf.

Wearable technology is no longer an innovation to fantasize about; it’s actively shaping how we interact with brands. Before there was the Apple Watch, Disney invested $1 billion in introducing MagicBands to Walt Disney World guests.
I’m proud to say that I’m still a child at heart and I love all things Disney. I experienced the benefits of the MagicBands technology firsthand on my last trip to Walt Disney World.
December is a month of reflection. Publishers encourage readers to start making lists of resolutions. Employees carve out more time to spend with loved ones. There’s suddenly an increased pressure to not only shop but also think about our past and establish goals for the future.
As Jeanne Beker discusses in Globe Style Advisor, escaping concrete jungles for rustic destinations can do wonders. Evidently, the article inspired me more than I realized. It gave me the urge to relax in an unfamiliar Canadian city and eliminate other destinations that would allow me to kick back in a warmer climate. Shortly after reading her advice, I booked a flight to Edmonton, Alberta.
