With a web site address that contains TheEnemyIsGood, a lot of people ask Connie M. which enemy is that? Connie laughs and points out how her blog started with a typo, she meant to nab "The Enemy is Food." But with her new Blog formally titled "Life is a Journey" in place, Connie was ready to blog, and embrace what she loved. "The blog originally was started as a way for me to make a food diary but I gave up that idea when I realized that I am a sensory person and loved the sight, smell and taste of food. So...instead of trying to lose weight by dieting, I embraced my love of food but developed a new respect for it. Slowly, I began to write less and less about food and now only occasionally include a photo of something I am enjoying on one of my little exploratory trips around Southern California. Or Disneyland!"

Having an enthusiastic Disney dad and living in Southern California helped Connie develop a lifelong love of Disneyland. "I was lucky. My ... Read More - Click Here

With a passion for Disney, what pursuits does Craig Duncan squeeze in between a full time job and family? How about working on 'They Disney Brit', the UKs largest and longest running Disney podcast, the 'Destination Disney' radio show and the 'Eye on Orlando' radio show both of which are aired live on Florida radio shows. Then there is 'Mousemeets' which is UKs Disney annual fan convention and 'Mousemag' a free bi-monthly magazine all about Disney written by the Disney Community for the Community. "We have also done something different with our associated web sites. We have made DisneyBrit.com one of the best sources for Disney related news anywhere in the world. EyeonOrlando.com is a pure Orlando holiday portal."

Listeners of their shows know where the guys at 'Just One Moon' have their priorities. "I am a big believer in family before work" says Craig "and always will, probably to the detriment of my career but not to my kids." ... Read More - Click Here

Words with Walt or Of Mouse and Man is a theatrical presentation written by Chris Lucas. "I play Walt Disney circa 1965 as he gets ready for the press conference announcing the 'Florida Project.' He re-caps his life story in an entertaining and moving way. Chris researched to find stories that most people have never heard about Walt or were not well aware of. "My goal is to have today's generation realize that Walt Disney was a human being and not just a corporate icon. The show can be as short as 30 minutes, or as long as 2 hours, it varies by the group I'm speaking to. It's currently on hiatus as I work on my father's movie, but I will probably resume performances in Spring 2012."

Chris is also busy writing 'The Top 100 Top 10 of Disney', a book featuring top 10 lists covering every aspect of the Disney Corporation from the films to the parks. "I'm in the process of re-writing and editing the book so that it will be updated through 2011." The planned publication date is May of 2012.

With so many Disney related web sites out there, do you ever find yourself taking a quick peek at newly discovered ones without much investigation?

Along with an entertaining blog and some of his own artwork, Dave is proving that the art of truly great content is perseverence.

Try to imagine the ideal career, one that keeps you busy doing exactly that you enjoy doing. How does writing about Disney, travel and eating at fine restaurants sound? That’s exactly what Rona Gindin, author of The Little Black Book of Walt Disney World. is doing. "I am living my ideal when it comes to my professional goals. I write about restaurants, travel and Disney World, from the comfort of my home. I have amazing clients who care about quality as much as I do. I get to snoop behind the scenes at all kinds of attractions and in all kinds of restaurants. And I get to share my discoveries with like-minded readers. It's a good gig."

So naturally Rona must have grown up with a passion for all things Disney, right? "Honestly, I wasn't that impressed with Disney World at first. I'd heard about it as a kid. Fellow students returned from Florida vacations joyous at their experiences -- oh, the talk when Space Mountain opened!" Unconvinced, Rona took a trip to find out what all the excitement was about. "I finally made it down to Magic Kingdom in my early 20s and spent the day with a friend who had visited many times. She squealed with glee over the Enchanted Tiki Room, Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a Small World. I was ... Read More - Click Here

If the latter you will probably identify with Tony Caselnova, owner of Disney By The Numbers. "I took my first trip to Disney when I was 13 and became completely fascinated with how things operated." This fascination led to Tony taking a job at Epcot in 1995. By working security, Tony got a close up view of how things worked. Now he's taking those experiences and bringing Disney to us 'by the numbers'.
