Tim Foster from Celebrations Press and Disney Holiday Musical Memories

It's the Holiday season, which is magical in so many different ways, no matter which holiday you celebrate. And what is more central to the holidays than music? Whether its traditional Christmas Carols, holiday standards, or more modern songs, music is the foundation and backdrop for the emotions of the holidays. And as you can imagine—or have been fortunate enough to see for yourselves—there are few more magical places during the holidays than the Disney Parks. And so many memories are created there that have music at its core.

We are joined today by Tim Foster, who is the creator and driving force behind Celebrations Press, which produces the amazing full-color Celebrations Magazine as well as incredible books that belong on every Disney fans bookshelf.
