Disney invited me to an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles in exchange for sharing it with you. As always, all opinions 100% my own.  This weekend at D23 EXPO there were so many amazing previews about Playmation. 

Last week at D23 Expo, I had a chance to check out The Legacy Collection from Walt Disney Records  and actually got to take one home! The Toy Story Legacy Collection CD is pretty awesome and has been on loop in my car all week.
