While Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party doesn’t (yet) have any events in July, that doesn’t mean we can’t have some Disney Christmas in July. As you might have seen in previous years, I love Christmas as a whole, and specifically Christmas ornaments. Naturally, I can’t go on a Disney trip without checking out the Christmas…

A Vegetarian Review of Storybook Dining at Artist Point
When I heard that there was going to be a new character meal at Walt Disney World that would feature Grumpy, you might say I was excited. I have been able to meet Grumpy before, but only with his six other friends at the holiday parties in the Magic Kingdom. So it was the prospect…
First Haircut at the Harmony Barber Shop (as an Adult)
As I have been fortunate to take multiple trips to Walt Disney World, I have tried to continually find new and different experiences to try in addition to returning to all of my favorites. When preparing for my most recent trip, things had gotten really busy at my job and I didn’t get a chance…
Tips to Beat the Summer Heat at Walt Disney World
For most people, and during most times of years, one of the aspects of a Disney vacation is that you are experiencing warm weather.

Walt Disney World Vegetarian Dining for $33 a Day – Disney’s Animal Kingdom Edition

The Festival of the Lion King Dining Package – A Mouse for Less Review
Usually, when Disney announces a new opportunity or experience, I check out the details, check out the price tag, and then quickly wipe it from my memory.

Up! A Great Bird Adventure at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
One of the great things about going to Walt Disney World, is that no matter how many times you go you can always find something new. During our trip this past December, we tried to find as many new experiences as we could. Some of those were big and splashy, but others were a little…
Walt Disney World FastPass Tips and Tricks for 2019
2019 is bound to be a very exciting time throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. With all of these exciting changes, I know the Disney planners among us (myself included) look at all of the new additions and ask “Well what am I going to do about FastPasses now?!?!?!” With that in mind, I wanted…

A Vegetarian Review of Jiko
One of the things that first made me fall in love with the Animal Kingdom Lodge was a wonderful meal at Jiko several years ago. However, since that time, it just hasn’t worked out to head back and try it again. When planning for our most recent trip, my wife and I wanted to make…
A Vegetarian Review of the Skipper Canteen
As someone who is fortunate to be able to travel fairly often to Walt Disney World, I have the opportunity to catch things I have missed, try new and exciting additions, and more. However, I generally do the exact opposite and just go back to my old favorites time and time again (see my collection…
