Sam has been visiting Walt Disney World since 1986. The spark from those early trips lead to an interest in the "How" and "Why" behind Disney Parks and Resorts and the thrill of discovering the history of how we got here today. That History is still being written. In addition to participating on The Disney Nerds Podcast you can find blogs at www.samsdisneydiary.com
That photo tour of the Flower & Garden Festival was so awesome. Now I want to go to it so bad it Hurts! Seriously, thanks for posting those great pics of the festival!
