So over these people. Disney said no mask, no entry. They said they won’t go. Ok. Mission accomplished. I’m so tired of them stealimg this “my body, my choice” bs. I can’t with these people. Maybe the parks will finally be full of people who want to be there, and not entitled.
Walt Disney Imagineering is launching a new YouTube series called 'We Call It Imagineering' on April 4. The series will give viewers an "inside look" at Imagineering as Imagineers create "innovative new experiences."
Teaser trailer:
At 2pm this afternoon my beautiful mother passed away at the age of 95. We were lucky to spend 5 days with her last week and I was able to have a call with her yesterday to tell her I loved her and that she was the best mother a boy could have.
I’m gutted and heartbroken.
Let me get this straight. Seems the majority of people adore Pixar movies and its characters. Yet all the sudden a TEMPORARY fest over the next few months and everyone is acting like Pixar is the worst thing Disney has ever done and losing their shit. The banners and shit…
On this day 6 years ago, I married my best friend. I’ll never forget our Disneyland Fantasy wedding. A dream come true for two Disney dorks like us.
I love you Steven!

Eight years ago today, I got to say I Do at our Disneyland Fantasy Wedding to the man I love. It was one of the most magical days from beginning to end. A destination wedding with 95 friends/family, who spent the rest of the weekend with us at Disneyland. Amazing memories.
I got a job.
It's with the company I wanted, a team and manager who I felt so at ease with and them with me. They created a position for me based on my experience, so the position isn't the same as I applied for, just beefed up a lot.
You can guess how I feel right now...
I found out late last night that my brother Jeff passed away suddenly. He was 65. There are times I feel that I can’t breathe.
They just told my mom a bit ago. I just got off the phone with her. Mothers should never out live their children. That was so hard.
I’m heart broken.
While at Cafe Orleans, a guy comes up and asked if we had a Disneyland wedding. He told us that he googled Disneyland gay wedding and tons of stuff came up for us. Said we were the reason he and his husband had a Disneyland wedding and used our photographer too.
Made our day.
6 years ago my husband surprised me with a private balcony 5 course dinner at GCV. He had a pair of ears on my plate that said, Marry Me. He beat me to the punch, as I had a different kind of proposal planned too that same weekend with ears that said the exact same thing.
Does anyone else while packing, clean your hotel room, put everything in the trash, pile all towels in the basket? I honestly can’t leave the hotel room without doing this.
We have a Disney guest room again! It’s been since we lived in Dallas. During your stay you’ll be surrounded by Disney artwork, books and collectibles. If you’re lucky you might find mints on your pillow and Disney toiletries in the bathroom for your stay.
I only have a few holy grail
#vintagedisneyland
items and this is one of them. Finally able to finally get the pre-opening Los Angeles Times Disneyland insert. Full color 20 page ad. I am in love. It came out July 15th 1955. Perfect condition.
On this day 9 years ago, I married my best friend and my love. He’s been my rock these past 17 years and I can’t imagine my life without him by my side. I’m thankful every day he’s in my life. I a very lucky man who gets to continue having amazing adventures with this guy.
For all the places that are doing the “if you’re vaccinated, you can go maskless”, raise your hand if you don’t trust people as far as you can throw them. ✋
Countdown to another surge in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1….
While at Disneyland on thanksgiving and after a few cocktails, we decided to purchase a few pieces of artwork that we’ve admired and wanted for so long. Finally got them hung today. As you can see Walt’s apartment lights up.
I’ve unfollowed a good number of people just due to bitching about absolutely every single thing that’s been announced the past few days st D23 and they’re bitching again today. These people are exhausting.
Back in 2016 in December we decided to do wedding anniversary photos with our wedding photographer in the park. We didn't have the chance to do it during the wedding.
Our photographer used to be a cast member, and is also a Disney preferred photographer.
When you see posts about Disney adults, how we shouldn’t love what we love, putting us down and making fun, just block, scroll past or ignore. Don’t retweet it, don’t give them clicks or additional attention. Don’t waste your time.
We know who we are and we’re not ashamed.
Another thing we noticed from the weekend is the use of the word “friends” by cast members. This caught us off guard as I swear we’ve never heard (or paid attention to?) being called that by a CM. “Hello Friends, welcome!” “Hi Friends, what can I get you to drink?” Is this new?
Five years ago today on Walts birthday (which wasn’t planned!), I married the man I love more than anything in this world, at Disneyland. We’ve been together a total of 14 years and I couldn’t be happier. He’s helped me through so much, especially the last few years. 💕
Anyone else have a stupid amount or square, diamond and skull glow cubes from Disney?
No clue as to why I save these. Like I’m going to throw some big party and I’ll want all my guests cocktails lit.

It’s called Mett and it’s a German and Belgium thing. Usually has lots of spices and onion. It’s not widely eaten anymore but the Midwest was settled primarily by Germans and brought the tradition with them. No I haven’t tried it. 🤣
What a memory from today back in 2015. The guy told us to not touch her. We walked around the corner, she ran up and grabbed us and said here are my boys! Little chit chat and she pulled us in close for a photo. Loved that woman.
Needed some distraction so we went to see
#wish
and thought it was wonderful. We loved the modern music that was very different than the broadway style we’re used too. Found it funny and refreshing. Loved the animation style. The theater was full too. Easily 8/10.
Table behind us, the woman has massive dietary restrictions and is pissed this limited menu doesn’t accommodate her. Um, review a menu prior to coming if you can’t have nuts, dairy, gluten and meat. Chef came out for 10 min to figure out what she can eat. People are insufferable.
Seven years ago today, I married my best friend and the love of my life. It was the most magical day, and amazing 4 days at the parks with 90 of our friends and family.
I love and adore you

My Christmas plans to go home have been canceled. COVID is again rampant in Mom's nursing home and no visitors for the next 14 days. Full lockdown. There's no reason to waste the flight and the time off work. Mom is so upset and I don't blame her.
Get fucking vaccinated.
I'm not sure I can sit here and listen to CNN all morning. Matt Gaetz alone, makes me want to punch him in the neck. "The Biden Crime Family". For FUCK sake....
I’m lying here awake not able to sleep. My mother, whom we just spent a wonderful 5 days with, suffered a heart attack and failure. They’re currently keeping her comfortable until the inevitable. I haven’t even shared this anywhere else. Just needed to vent and write it out.
I can't believe it's been 2 years today that we got the keys to our first (and last?) home here in California. Something we honestly didn't ever think we could afford. It's tiny, in a retirement type area, quiet and just perfect for us.
She’s officially ours! One last group of pics. Won’t see more until it’s all complete with our stuff. Even Gus is running around like he loves it. He’s enjoying the carpeted stairs and upstairs a bit too much. 🤣
Back on this day, Steven surprised me with a private Sixth Floor Balcony Sweetheart Dinner at the Grand Californian. This is how he proposed. Totally took me off guard. This was the exact same weekend I had made plans to propose to HIM. He beat me to it by 5 hours.
Today's Infectious Disease doc appt marks my 30th year of being HIV+. Every single visit I'm amazed at my tcell numbers, undetectable viral load. I'm amazed that I'm even here. To be honest I shouldn't be. In 1993 we were only using the nasty drug AZT. I was taking so many pills
I see a lot of people making jokes about this but damn, first I hope all cast and crew were safe and the loss of Murphy just fucking sucks. Who knows when he will ever be replaced.
Meet Gus, a Grear Dane/Mastiff mix. He’s coming home with us. He’s a feisty, lovable and very horny one year old and seems to be smitten with us too. He’s going to get even bigger.
We shall call him Gus Gus. He’ll just think we’re calling him twice. 🐭
I’m a ball of nerves.
Found out that 4 employees and 3 residents have COVID at Moms nursing home. They’re in lock down. The employees weren’t vaccinated.
I haven’t been this pissed.
Some news on the job front. I have 3 companies that I've been working with, having multiple interviews with each. Every job is different, each one I got a different level of "peace" about and each one has a different potential salary. Two contacted me today to continue on. 🤞
I’m in radiology waiting for an ultrasound. A man was having issues with insurance to get his procedure. Another man here just walked up and paid it for him as he was out in the hallway freaking out. These procedures aren’t cheap. He’s a bit shocked someone would do that. Me too.
Went for the ultrasound/biopsy of my neck on the opposite side of where I had throat cancer. After poking and prodding, scope and ultrasound, no biopsy needed. All lymph nodes were normal looking and size, despite PET scan warning.
So...*whew*
We had the opportunity to have dinner with 8 other gay men at the Club. It was an amazing time of cocktails, dinner and conversation. I think we made a few friends tonight. Ended with some shopping, ROTR, macarons and the long trek back to the car. We’re beat and heading home. ❤️
My mom is 93 and her hands shake so bad, sending Xmas cards like she used to do is hard but she sent a handful. I love how much she makes sure I know this card is for Steven too. With another note at the bottom to remind me again. ❤️❤️❤️
Disney guest room is finally 100% completely done. Took me long enough. Only thing missing are the two upcoming Shag Villainess prints to go with the two we have now.
Was able to book Aulani this morning for a 6 day stay for next April 2022. This will be our first time to Hawaii and we're so damn excited. We've booked this trip twice already and had to cancel. Thanks COVID.
Disney will never get me to by the majority of their Passholder only merchandise. I just saw some new stuff and "Passholder" is in a huge font, top to bottom. It almost takes over the shirt. It all just seems a bit (or a lot) tacky to me. Can't and won't do it.
Y'all need to check your Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, etc accounts. We found out that Hulu's been used for 12 months by multiple people. We just got notification, so we went in and changed passwords to be more robust. They weren't before and honestly didn't think anything of it.
I wanted to thank everyone for all the kind words this past week and especially today, which I will say was really hard. The funeral was beautiful. Family and friends made it better. But I’m glad that part is behind me.
