What is the “magic”?

“The magic is as wide as a smile and as narrow as a wink, loud as laughter and quiet as a tear, tall as a tale and deep as emotion. So strong, it can lift the spirit. So gentle, it can touch the heart. It is the magic that begins the happily ever after.”

If there is one word that describes a visit to a Disney theme park, it’s magic. That term in itself is so encompassing it can mean something so big, and yet so specific it can mean something so small. It’s hard to define, yet so easy to know. If you have ever been to a Disney park, you know what this spark of magic feels like. And if you haven’t, then get ready to feel one of the most amazing things in the world.

What is this blog?
Welcome to MaketheMagic.ca, a Disney theme park blog dedicated to picking out our favourite things about the parks that help to make that magic happen. Whether it’s the smell of fresh popcorn as you walk up Main Street, USA, or the incredible special effects of the Yeti on Expedition Everest, we want to dig a little into that and spread it to the internet.

We update the blog twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. It will feature ridethroughs, reviews, travel tips, trip reports, or will have us answering any questions readers might have about the magic. Our blog isn’t here to give away all the secrets behind the magic, we just want to spread that magical feeling.

Think of it as a weekly dose of Disney.

Who are you?
We are Andy and KP, two dedicated Disney fans and former Walt Disney World cast members who want to share our love for Disney Parks with others. We both met during our time on the Walt Disney World International College Program, as we were roommates. We are both from the west coast of Canada, and have remained friends since the program ended.
