Welcome to Disney Go To Girl's Mad Blog Party, where things keep getting "Curiouser and Curiouser."
So much so that one lucky visitor will win a Walt Disney World 4oth Anniversary Wristlet by Dooney and Bourke

If you've stopped by as part of The Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom, WELCOME to my site! If not, head on over and link up to join in on the fun!

To those of you who are new to The Disney Go To Girl Blog (DGTG,) Let me start by introducing myself! My name is Amanda Ficili. I have nicknamed Disney World my "Lavish Laughing Place" and it is my goal to promote Disney as a luxury vacation destination to those who may not see past the Castle and the parks. This blog is designed to showcase all of the finer things Disney has to offer, recognizing it as a fabulous venue for families seeking the "magical little extras" that only Disney can offer.
I am mother to a beautiful princess, Bella, and wife to my best friend whom I met at WDW! We own a restaurant and wine bar in the mountains of NC! We love to travel, especially to Disney destinations and Northern California!
Please don't be a stranger! I hope you'll keep coming back and that you'll tell your friends too! And be sure to "Like" and "Follow" DGTG! I'll return the favor!

What a cute little wristlet :-) I'm a big fan of Disney too. I feel like it is every bit as magical as they try & convince us on the commercials. And even more so when you can see it through your kids eyes which I got to do in October :-) We're moving to California next week & hoping to visit Disney over there soon.
