Magical Blogorail: Introducing Me

Magical Blogorail Peach Line
Welcome to those of you joining me from Disney in Our Blood and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the 2nd stop on our Magical Blogorail.


When I received the email from the Magical Blogorail telling me I was going to officially be a part of this amazing community of Disney bloggers, I couldn't believe my amazing luck!  Then, when Beth, the wonderful woman who runs the Blogorail, emailed telling me to introduce myself in my first blog post, I couldn't stop singing Introducing Me from Camp Rock 2. (Seriously, it's an adorable song, you should go watch the clip on YouTube now.  I'll wait here.)


That's me: Vinylmation collecting, WDW-loving, math geek!
So here we go!  I'm Joanna, or goddessofmath to the online community.  For years I've gone as everydaymathchick, so you'll see some nods to that on my blog.  You may know me from The DISboards where I designed shirt designs for free over on the Creative DISigns boards.  My blog design elements are all things I've Photoshopped using those t-shirt designing skills. I have been blogging in various places for about 15 years, but in the last year or so I really hit my stride and found my voice as a Disney blogger.  Because I haven't always been so Disney-centric in my blog, if you go back about a year in my archives, you'll start learning more about me personally.  Short story is that I'm in my late-20's, a high school math teacher, and I love my family, my shih-tzu, Sprinkles, reading, comic books, technology (huge Apple geek!), and I somehow end up getting to go to Walt Disney World at least twice a year.


When I was a young girl I went to Walt Disney World with my family, and I went once more in high school, but January 2009 changed my relationship with the Park when I went again with my family (sister, brother-in-law, niece, and nephew)!  Since then my love of Walt Disney World has only grown!  I've been 3 times with my family including that trip, and I also have a good friend that I like to go with.  We're actually heading back in mid-December!  The best way for you to get to know me and my blog is to check out my trip reports.  Here's what Disney fun you might have missed:
  • Thanksgiving 2010 Trip Report and My Top Disney Movies links are here.

L to R: Bro-in-law, Randy; Sister, LaRae; Nephew, Joshua; ME; Niece, Katelyn

  • The Trip Report to end all Trip Reports!  This index of posts gives you all the links to my June 2011 pre-trip report, full trip report, guest blog posts, and videos!  It features every aspect of a WDW vacation with a twist: I met my travel buddy for the first time in real life at Disney World! Check out the fun that followed!

Me & my good friend, Kyle, enjoying a cool evening at Epcot in June 2011


Hope you have fun exploring my blog and getting to know me! Please stop by between Magical Blogorail loops as I usually post once or twice a week.  Aside from trip reports, I blog about Walt Disney World and any other random Disney topics that pop in my head.

Thank you for joining me today. Your next stop on the Magical Blogorail Loop is Can Do It Mom AKA Mouse Fan Diane.


Here is the map of our Magical Blogorail should you happen to have to make a stop along the way and want to reboard:
1st Stop ~ Disney in Our Blood
