About Jason

My name is Jason, and I was born and raised in Southern California, just a hop skip and a jump away from Disneyland. My first trip to Disneyland was when I was about three years old, and I have visited countless times since then. I didn't really become the fanatic I am today about all things Disney until I was a little older and had a family of my own. With Disney movies playing on the VHS player, then DVD player, and finally the Blu-ray player, and frequent trips to Disneyland through the years, I have passed the love of Disney onto my family. I joined the United States Air Force in 1994 and was stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I met my wife, Marsha. After being stationed in several locations, Nellis AFB, RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom (twice), Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico and F.E. Warren AFB in Cheyenne, Wyoming and four four kids later (Jordan, Calvin, Kaylee, and Madi) I retired from Air Force in 2014 and settled in Cheyenne, Wyoming with my family. My biggest complaint, besides the wind in Wyoming, is that I am over 1,100 miles away from Disneyland!

MY FAVORITE PARK

If it wasn't obvious from my intro, my favorite park is Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Resort. There is nothing like walking under the railroad tracks into Town Square and looking down Main Street, U.S.A. in the only park that Walt Disney set foot in. To be fair, I have only been to one other Disney property, Disneyland Paris in Marne-le-Vallee, France. But I think even after I finally get to go to Walt Disney World (I know!) and hopefully a few of the other properties, Disneyland Park will still be my favorite park. 

MY FAVORITE ATTRACTION

There are so many great attractions at the Disney parks across the United States and the world, but my favorite attraction comes from my favorite park. It is hard to pick a single attraction, so I made my decision using the premise that if I went to Disneyland and could only ride one attraction, that attraction would be Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

MY FAVORITE RESORT HOTEL

I have stayed at all three Disneyland Resort hotels, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Disneyland Hotel, and Paradise Pier Hotel (now Pixar Place Hotel), and the Disneyland Hotel is by far my favorite. The Grand Californian is beautiful, and we loved it there, but there is something special about the Disneyland Hotel. I am looking forward to one day adding the Pixar Place Hotel to my list of hotels.

MY FAVORITE ANIMATED FILM

Walt Disney's second animated feature film, Pinocchio, is my favorite animated Disney film. The animation was done beautifully, and the way they used the multiplane camera to film some of the scenes was amazing. The soundtrack won an Academy Award, and the song "When You Wish Upon a Star," the unofficial theme song of Disney, is one of the greatest Disney songs ever!

MY FAVORITE LIVE-ACTION FILM

My all-time favorite Disney live-action film is Mary Poppins. The actors are fantastic, and the music from the Sherman Brothers is amazing. The film is "Practically Perfect In Every Way!"
