TheDisneyBlog

The Disney Blog was launched in 2004 after I noticed that, while there were great websites for planning Disney trips, there was a gap in the blogosphere for comprehensive coverage of the entire company. Having started my personal blogging journey back in 1998, it felt like a perfect fit for me. This blog is created by fans for fans, exploring every facet of the Walt Disney Company, its family, history, enthusiasts, competitors, and related entities. As Disney has expanded to include ABC, ESPN, Pixar, The Muppets, Marvel, and more recently, Star Wars and other Lucasfilm properties, we’ve incorporated those topics into our discussions as well. If you're passionate about any of these subjects, we warmly invite you to contribute as a guest blogger. Our doors are always open!
