    I LOVED the Dooney and Bourke Event at Disney TREN-D With Ian Ray blog post. I am obsessed with both handbags and Disney so this did not help my bank account AT ALL! :) Congrats on 1 year Amanda!

  • Joanna

    Loved all those posts & have most of them bookmarked! :) Happy Blogiversary!

  • Disneykymie

    Im not sure if I qualify for the competition as I live in the UK but I wanted to leave a comment anyway. My favorite post has got to be A Whole New World 'sung' in pictures!! Why? Well its because so many of my twitter buddies are on there its like watching a youtube sketch of friends / family. You cant help but smile as you watch it! But the same goes for the other 'songs in pictures' too – If I Didnt Have You, and most importantly, You Gotta Friend In Me!!! Seeing the clips just really warms the heart, and I mean that sincerely! Thanks Amanda for a great year of blogging and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

  • Amber

    Don't count this as an entry, Amanda, as you know I don't need more vinylmation! But I wanted to say congratulations! I am so grateful that you started this blog because it's how we met, and you're pretty much my favorite Floridian ever!

    Happy Blogiversary Amanda! Thanks for all the great Disney content, it really is very impressive and well done. In addition to all the great posts, one of my favorite segments is Wordless Wednesdays, they are always very clever. I also enjoyed the How To Make a Disney Princess Castle Birthday Cake Video. It will really come in handy when DD b-day comes around in Jan. She has already starting talking about her next cake and I now I know what I am going to make. Thanks again. Hope your second year is just as blessed.

  • Debsters41

    Hello There, Congratulations on One Year! While all posts have been fun and informative, I was first drawn to this site with the post on the construction of the Dream, not the least because of the tag on the end linking to the assembly of the Tinkerbell cake! Beautiful!

  • Adamsinclair

    My favorite is the story about how to get the top score on Buzz Lightyear..I've made it over 500,000, but that's just because my wife did all the steering, and didn't like the feact that O scored so high, so fast!

  • http://bit.ly/deekaypee dkp

    Congratulations on your one-year blogiversary! I'm a lurker and relatively new reader, but I love your posts. Given my sweet tooth, I fully love your dessert, cake, cupcake posts. :) Thanks for bringing a little more pixie dust into my world.
