  • I still have that elecTRONica coin and the meetup ticket in a frame hanging in the office with all my other “Flynn Lives” memorabilia.. It was a great party!

  • October 2010, I was one month away from getting married. We went to Walt Disney World for our honeymoon. That’s the first time I remember going to Disney World. I go again in a few weeks for our honeymoon. Can’t wait!!!

  • The image of “Beauty and the Beast” with co-stars Robby Benson and Paige O’Hara reminds me of an observation I once had. I call it “The Disney Lean”. I find it funny how people tend to lean into character pictures. Watch for it. It happens even without puffy princess dresses!
