Earlier this year, I had the extreme pleasure of attending a spectacular Disney blogging event in L.A. that saw me interviewing Big Hero 6‘s cast, getting kissed by Once Upon A Time’s Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin), and hanging with Kevin Costner and the entire cast of McFarland USA. The whole trip was dubbed #McFarlandUSAEvent. To say it was an absolute blast would be… well, an absolute understatement. I absolutely loved this film (check out my McFarland …

Getting to Know the Talented Young Cast of McFarland USA

Last year, I got to cross a number of items off my bucket list including hanging with Captain America and interviewing a Muppet. (I got to interview three Muppets actually!)  It was all thanks to an amazing Blogging Trip put together by the dream-makers known as Disney. Well, guess what? Apparently I didn’t embarrass myself too much interviewing Scarlett Johansson because I just got invited to my second Disney Blogger Trip in Los Angeles!!! This time …
