Ryan Crochet has been an avid Disney fan all of his life.   He made his first "pilgrimage" to Walt Disney World in 1978 and has not stopped since.   He is also a collector of Disney license plates and books.   Ryan also has a particular interest in Walt Disney Animation and Imagineering, and most of his books are centered on those two themes.

Ryan created the Club 71 Blog about Disney License Plates in September of 2007.   Unfortunately, Ryan ended the blog in 2008, just a short time after it was started.   This page is a collection of his blogs that were posted on the Internet.
