Love this post, Katrina, super good job! Yeah, I actually avoided watching (and still have) Pocahontas just because it was evident in the previews that her and John Smith would be an item (poor John Rolfe...)! Good job debunking even the topography of that movie! :D What would we have done without Disney to warm our hearts to traveling?! We are fortunate to live in an era where the world is accessible to us! :)Swagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04536665298453982608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-15943564597771262402016-03-31T03:24:31.427-04:002016-03-31T03:24:31.427-04:00I love this post Katrina!!!

As for Neuschwanstein Castle, I actually spent half the time reminiscing on "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" as some of the scenes were filmed there (and Rothenburg, too). The Disney connection of all these places didn't occur to me until we visited Mermaid Lagoon and Belle's town this past summer!
