I realized the last personal blog update I did was spring of last year. Yikes! But with Tiktok, Instagram, YouTube, email lists, and a half a dozen other platforms calling it’s hard to keep up. Legit hard. I think something I’m going to try to do is write an update on my blog then send it out to my subscribers like I used to back in the RSS feed days. Maybe.

I was at D23 when Disney announced their special movie to be released in 2023, in honor of the Disney 100 celebration.
