In reply to Susan. Hi Susan. I'm so glad you stopped by! I'm the one who joined the tribe and I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Where are you from? Do you come down to visit regularly? As you've seen, we love to use Disney as a tool for learning. It's a great way to learn while being out in the community. It's nice to meet another Disney fan!

Hi! I’m here from the SITS Tribe building challenge and was so excited when I read your “About” page for a couple of reasons. 1) I am in central Florida right now visiting my parents (in The Villages) and 2) I love Disney! I love how you two bonded over loving Disney. I’m looking forward to looking through your page and learning so much!

As the mom of a boy, I really liked this post. What a great, creative and engaging way to get your sons to engage with classic stories.

What a great idea to get kids interested in reading! I love this concept of getting them to really experience the events for themselves and incorporating the stories into the trip. We hope to take our boys to Disney when they get a little older (my youngest is 22 months) I always enjoyed it as a child.

Thank you for this wonderful tip Susan, we’ve been discussing ideas for fun family activities that also include learning/educating our kids and this is a perfect way to bring the childhood stories that we all love to life.

You should try the Little Passports family activity, it’s also a great way to teach kids about other countries, languages and culture etc without the expense of travelling, see it here: http://www.lush-fab-glam.com/2013/09/stylish-mommy-hood-tips-fun-activities.html

What a great idea! I wish I could get my 14 year old into reading. Her dad and myself love to read and always have something to read. She on the other hand thinks she is allergic to books!

What a great idea! I’m going to pin this so I can remember it when my kids are older!

What a great idea. Kids are so familiar with Disney stories, but many do not know anything about the stories are based on. It is great that you figured out how people who live nowhere near a Disney park can use the same approach.

What a wonderful idea. It is a neat lesson in the difference between abridged works versus unabridged works as well.

I think any idea to get our youth reading is great! Any child would love the tie in with a park too.

Great idea for making a curriculum out of our own experiences. I’ve been wanting to do that with a few ideas of mine. Thank you for giving me some inspiration on getting started!

I love how you use attractions around you to enhance learning! I also loved the use if Venn diagrams to compare the book to the movie! Genius!
