Last year, Erin Glover from the Disney Parks Blog shared how to make coasters from recycled Disneyland Park maps. I thought that this was a cute project, and earmarked it to make someday. Someday has arrived! I didn’t have any Disneyland maps, but I did have Walt Disney World maps. These do work, though they…

I grew up with a passion for All Things Disney! The older I get, the more I appreciate the memories I have made through Disney trips and activities. When I'm not planning a trip or helping others plan trips, I can be found with my nose in a book (much like Belle!), spending time with family and friends, and spoiling our (Typhoon) Tilly dog. Be sure to sprinkle some pixie dust and kindness every day!
Celebrating Dad at Walt Disney World

Dining Without the Disney Dining Plan at Walt Disney World
We’ve been spoiled by being able to book Walt Disney World trips with the free dining promotion for the past few years. On our upcoming trip, we are doing a split stay so booking with the free dining promotion was not possible. Of course, this means that we have to pay for every bite of…
Let’s Find Nemo at Walt Disney World
The Pixar Film, Finding Nemo, was released on May 30, 2003. Since that time, Nemo and friends have become favorite characters for many families! If you are planning a Walt Disney World vacation, there are several places in the Disney Parks and Resorts where you can ‘find’ Nemo! The Art of Animation Resort The…
All that Jazz about Port Orleans French Quarter
Port Orleans French Quarter is one of our favorite Walt Disney World resorts. The New Orleans atmosphere, compact size, and nice amenities make this resort a great place to stay for adults or for families with kids of all ages. The resort is a small one, so regardless of which building you are in it’s…

Sunshine Seasons Lunch Review
The Sunshine Seasons food court, located in Epcot’s Land Pavilion, is where we frequently go for a meal or a quick snack. What is great about this place is not only the convenient location but also the variety of food offerings that are sure to please everyone in your family! The dessert selection is as…
Columbia Harbour House Lunch Review
Columbia Harbour House, located in the Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square, has been one of our favorite quick service food locations at Walt Disney World for years. We like dining here because of the good food, convenient location, and tranquil setting. A Colonial-era nautical theme is well woven throughout the dining areas, providing a unique atmosphere…
The Scoop on Beaches & Cream
Eating at Beaches & Cream has been on our bucket list for years. Back when the restaurant did not take reservations, we were hesitant to trek to the Disney’s Beach Club Resort area not knowing ahead of time if we could get a table. Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs) are now available for Beaches & Cream,…
Sensational Sanaa
Sanaa, located in Walt Disney World’s Kidani Village, is a great place to enjoy a flavorful meal in a unique atmosphere! We enjoy going to Sanaa for lunch on a day we’re visiting Animal Kingdom to take a nice break from the heat and the park. The bus ride to the resort is a short…
The Trail’s End Restaurant: A Hidden Gem
The Trail’s End Restaurant, located at the Walt Disney World Fort Wilderness Campground and Resort, is not a dining location you hear about often. As the restaurant’s name suggests, it’s a little off the beaten path for many Walt Disney World Guests. We discovered this hidden gem a couple of years ago when we…
