My idea of The Good Life

The Good Life

The Good Life…three simple words that can mean so much.  What do you think of when you hear people talking about The Good Life?

Of course, in the context of the picture above, the natural tendency is to think of Disney related things that, added up, comprise the good life.  Of course, this is not always the case.  I thought in this post we would take a look at some of the layers to the onion that I am that make the life I’m living The Good Life.  I hope you enjoy, and will take the time to comment and let me know what your ideas are for the good life!  Thanks for stopping by!

The Good Life…something that we always attain for, something that we always strive for…and something, despite the trials and tribulations that sometimes befall me or my family, that I am very blessed to have in my life.  Thank you for stopping by and seeing what The Good Life means to me.  What does The Good Life mean to you?  Please let me know in the comments, and thanks!

About Mike Ellis

Mike has been a Disney fan since his first trip to the Magic Kingdom in 1979 when he was 11 years old. Since that first trip, he has seen parks open, lands close, and attractions come and go, but one thing remains the same, his love for Disney is as strong as ever.

His Disney adventures caused him to start My Dreams of Disney because he wanted to document for his family and friends all of the special Disney Memories he has enjoyed with his family, and since that first post in 2010, Mike's hobby has become his passion!

Now a Travel Consultant with Pixie Vacations for over nine years, Mike has helped many of his readers plan and have incredible Disney vacations of their own. Check us out on Facebook and Twitter.

    […] The Good Life…there is so much to that simple statement. The Good Life for many of us is being able to take our families to Walt Disney World or Disneyland. In this special post, I’m sharing with you what the good life means to me, and I hope you will draw inspiration in your own lives to determine what the good life means to you. I think, as you sit down and think about the good in your lives, you will see just how blessed a life you lead. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read about the good life. […]
