I’m Blasting Off to a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Red Carpet Event That’s Outta This World #GotGVol2Event

It was almost 3 years ago today that I traveled for my first ever Disney press trip. Ironically, it was for a little movie you may have heard of – called Guardians of the Galaxy. At the time, I was completely clueless – as in had NO idea what I was doing – how to act, how to dress, and I wince just thinking about the off-the-wall questions I must have asked with my starstruck eyes. Fast forward almost 3 years and seven Disney press trips later, I am walking LITERALLY down memory lane, this time on the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Red Carpet. And that’s not all. This galactic adventure is only just beginning. See what’s in store for us April 18th – 21st as I join 24 bloggers for the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Red Carpet Event That’s Outta This World.

Disney’s Andi Mack Interview | Why It’s the Multicultural Teen Show My Childhood Is Missing #AndiMack

In my history of Disney press trips, I can recall crying tears (yes, real tears) exactly two times during an interview. That’s me with full-on mascara running down my face while asking a celebrity a question. Number one – Harrison Ford. Duh. But number two – I’d bet that you’d never guess that it was the cast of the newest Disney Channel show, Andi Mack. For some reason my whole childhood flashed before my eyes during this Andi Mack Interview with the cast and creators, and I became a teary-eyed mess. Find out why this Multicultural Teen Show is taking a big stance in television today, why it made me a blubbering mess, and why you won’t want to miss watching with your kids.
