Welcome!

Welcome to Dan's Disney Blog!  My name is Dan Steinberg, and I've been around the Disney theme park fan community for many years.  You might remember me from my many posts on alt.disney.disneyland and rec.arts.disney.parks back in the late 1990's, or from my "Business of Magic" column on MousePlanet (www.mouseplanet.com).  You may have even seen one of my old MousePlanet articles on Roy Disney's SaveDisney site (www.savedisney.com).  Anyway, let's just say I'm a firm believer that Walt's Vision and sane business practices can co-exist - mainly because they did for 40-some-odd years.

Well, now I have my own Weblog.  Why?  Because I haven't publicly commented on the wonderful world of The Walt Disney Company and her theme parks in several years, and an awful lot has happened since then (unfortunately with the emphasis generally on "awful").  And with my own Blog, I'm not tied into any particular topic, format, schedule or length.  Some days I'll have a lot to say, others may only a one-liner.  And sometimes I'll have a big essay that I'll publish as a separate article (I have a few of those brewing in my head).

There's a lot of Disney stuff that I'm itching to talk about.  Are you ready to get started?  I am!  And so the adventure begins....
