In the Beginning There was a Movie...

I guess it is about time I started to establish my credentials. What makes me so sure that I can provide others with sound Disney planning advice?  Was I ever a Disney Parks Cast Member?  No.  Am I a travel agent?  No.  Am I a Disney geek?  Yes! Yes! Yes!
OK that brings me to a little movie I made when I was just out of college and struggling to pay the bills. This is getting exciting isn't it?   Okay, I was not struggling to pay bills but it sounded so dramatic and I do tend to to like a little drama.  Anyhow, I decided to surprise my then fiance, Brian with a trip to Disney World for Christmas.  To present the gift with a little drama, my now sister-in-law Sara and I made a very high quality film with cutting edge special effects.  Well anyhow, I recruited some family members and family pets. There was also a wind up dolphin involved. The film was a spoof on the Disney Vacation Planning DVDs that Brian and I would order and re watch over and over again...  There went all the excitement didn't it?  .
Well, in my opinion it was a beautifully crafted piece cinematography .  I should know as a graduate of Emerson College where some other students learned all about such things.  If I can also add that my father's touching portrayal of a Disney park guest riding the Tower of Terror was of Academy Award winning caliber.  My cat's performance of a lion in her natural habitat (litter box) was quite convincing as well.  Ah memories.... I could tell you more but why spoil it when you can just buy the DVD?  Just joking.
It is a double Blue Ray set with deleted scenes and outtakes.
When all was said and done Brian received his gift.  It took until nearly the end of the movie (when I explained it) for him to figure out what the heck was going on.  But, needless to say he went on the vacation and married me anyway. 
So are you convinced yet?  Most of you are convinced that I am just not normal.  Besides that I can prove that I am thoroughly competent and maybe even skilled at providing advice and even helping others plan their Disney vacations. It all began when we started to PLAN for that very first trip together.
