Welcome to Planning and Disney

Hello and Welcome to my blog. A quick run down on what this blog is all about and hopefully will guide you to what you need to get out of it.

There are two main components of this blog: Planning with Phan and Disney Days. Planning with Phan is all about how I use my planner and the office supplies I use to make planning as efficient, fun, and useful as it can be for me. I use a plethora of different supplies throughout the year and over the course of my planning addiction. While my personal taste will probably be different than yours (and many others) I think having different perspectives gives a more comprehensive view of what the pros and cons are of different things. I also delve into my organization scheme (and how they may have changed over the years) to help me stay organized and what works best for me personally. I have noticed that my personal planning style has become a melting pot of great ideas I have stumbled across or people have told me that revolutionized my organizational schema and planning style. But to be honest, I think I got into planners because it gives me a productive outlet to unleash my love of all things office supplies. My newest adventure that I will document and cover in “Planning with Phan” will be me trying to use a digital planner. So join me to watch me stumble and hopefully learn how to properly. manage and use a digital planner to explore different planning strategies and work on not being afraid to use stickers.

The second component is Disney Days. I have an obsession with Disney and I love almost everything Disney does. I can be pretty bias when it comes to Disney and it will be apparent when you read some of my Disney Days posts. Disney Days will focus on everything Disney, from new releases on Disney+ that I have watched, to Park Days (hopefully including more international Disney parks), and maybe even my own thoughts on the future of Disney . But this is mostly to share what I think Disney is doing and how I feel about it. It will also be to share my own personal ways to manage traveling to the Disney Parks and preparing for Disney, especially with 2 littles in tow. So please join me for Disney Days to discuss all things Disney!

About “Phantastic” Me

So the face (name? fingers?) behind this blog is me, Linh Phan. I am a 35 year old Colorado native and self proclaimed Disney addict living in Virginia with my ever growing family. We have 2 turtles, 1 dog, and 2 little humans in our family. I married a fellow Disney addict that I am slowly turning into a pen snob (slowly and surely.) My husband and I spend much of our days together planning and imagining our next Disney trips especially since joining Disney Vacation Club in 2019. When not planning our next trip, I spend my time trying to organize and manage our busy life with 2 full time working parents, 1 child in school, and a new little one in daycare plus maintaining our house and pets. I have become the one stop command center in our house hold and my planner is pretty much accessible to everyone to make sure we all have it written down. My husband kindly tells everyone nothing is official until it is written in my planner (which just shows how planner obsessed I am cause I would be a complete hot mess without one.) I love sharing my thoughts and excitement for all things planner and office supplies related; almost as much as I love sharing my thoughts on Disney.
