About DisneyNerds

The gang and I at Rebel Rendezvous 2012 for Star Wars Days

Hi! I’m Craig, founder and content creator for DisneyNerds. At DisneyNerds, I specialize in unique Disney experiences, Disney theme parks, and Disney collectables. There is so much Disney stuff out there, I wanted to provide a space to highlight the best so Disney nerds like myself could enjoy them, too. Personally, I am an avid pin collector (and if you’ve got any Jessica Rabbit, Matterhorn, Three Caballeros, or Pocahontas pins to trade – DM me!). I love books about Disney – Walt, the theme parks, and cookbooks in particular. And I collect a lot of Disney LEGO. I’m a huge fan of Ravensburger! They produce so many awesome Disney games including Villainous and Lorcana as well as the puzzles they are so famous for. And I’m a huge Star Wars fan and often cover everything on the big and small screen as well as the books. I hope you’ll find a lot here you connect with and discover some things you might want to experience for yourself.

From my days as a Disneyland Cast Member way back in the late 80's early 90's
From my days as a Disneyland Cast Member way back in the late 80’s early 90’s, hanging with my friend Jen.

If you’re curious, this website began because of my love of the Disney theme parks.  I found having been a former Disneyland Cast Member and coming into the park hundreds if not thousands of times gave me an advantage to share intelligently about what to do when visiting, especially for someone who had not visited in a long time or who had never visited at all!  With so many choices and a limited amount of time, friends and family would ask for advice. After writing the same email 20 times I thought, “Why not do something online where I could just send people any time they wanted to find out the information I already had?”  And thus it began.

Today, we cover everything Disney.  And that is in large part thanks to the people who have supported me along the way.  I have made so many new friends and colleagues both inside and outside the Disney family of companies.  From time to time, they help me out by sending me products to review or inviting me to events to cover and giving me opportunities I might otherwise not have.  Although everything you read is my personal and honest opinion of it all, I do owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to those who have given me these blessings along the way.  Most of all, I have to give thanks to my family who support me in all I do.  Love you all!

The reason I’m able to do this blog at all…my family

I am so grateful to YOU and the over 10,000 other Disney nerds who have joined us for the ride!  I hope you’re here for a long time. WELCOME!
