Bring the Magic Home: An Exploration of Design Inspired by Disney Parks

Sunny Chanel, a lifelong Disneyland fanatic, was inspired to create a resource for others like her who thirst, nay, need ways to incorporate Disneyland magic into their everyday life. While remodeling a vintage home, she continually returned to the thought of how to “imagineer” her house’s public and private spaces. Currently, she’s creating an Adventureland themed library, a Jungle Cruise styled backyard, and a breakfast room inspired by the River Belle Terrace.Sunny has penned thousands of pieces, garnering millions of views, for sites such as Disney’s Babble, BuzzFeed, Business Insider, Brit + Co, Fandango, Mom.me, and many more. At Disney’s Babble, she was one of the main contributors to the Disney Voices section, which exclusively featured Disney content. She also created Disneycentric content on how to inspire creativity in kids for Disney’s Imagicademy. During her career, she has worked closely with many arms of the Walt Disney Company—from the studios, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, and in particular the Disneyland and Walt Disney World parks and resorts. Additionally, she once had a pop-up shop and completely redecorated the space each month to honor different themes from Adventure to Americana. She was also the founder of Wonder and Company and the subscription box Wonderful Objects “Unbox a Story” where she would curate an eclectic mix of items based on various themes.Ashley Eckstein is known for her role as the voice of Ahsoka Tano on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, for her book It’s Your Universe: You Have the Power to Make It Happen, and as the founder of the fangirl fashion and lifestyle brand Her Universe.
