Journey into Imagination (oh sure, they brought Figment back but it’s not really the same) comes to mind, and removing appetizers and tips from the Dining Plan. But other times Disney’s changes can make a good thing…

By Kristi Letsinger My family and I have been visiting Disney since I was little.  I remember when the characters would roam the park and kids could go up and visit with them no matter where they were!  Though you now have to wait in line or make a reservation for a meal, meeting the…

By: Debbie Bohem August and the Disney lover’s mind turns to…….. Well, if you’re like me, the Fall and Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival! Planning your trek around the World Showcase to sample everything you just have to indulge in is no small feat.  So, at the end of July we rejoice when the…

By Kevin Smithson I vividly remember planning our family’s first trip to Walt Disney World with my wife. We have a four year old son.   We knew our first “family” trip to the world would make available many opportunities as well as some challenges. We could not wait to see our child’s face as he…

by Ann Dunnington Considering that I have 1 year, 2 months, 1 week, and 5 days until my next Walt Disney World Vacation (but who’s counting?), I have to spend my days with some sort of planning and Disney fun to fill the time.  To pay homage to Jeff Foxworthy, “You might be a(n obsessed)…

By: Teresa Pitman Did you know that Walt’s last vacation before he passed away was in Canada?

By Debbie Boehm When my husband and I planned our April 2012 trip to Walt Disney World we chose to stay at the Polynesian Resort and made one dining reservation – breakfast at Kona Café.  The last time we had stayed at the Polynesian was in 1994 with our three children and we were looking…

By Rikki Niblett Random useless commentary by Chris Johnson   Every year in May/June Walt Disney World holds Star Wars Weekends, celebrating all that is included in the Star Wars Universe.  This event takes place at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Friday, Saturday and Sunday during those weekends.

By: Dena Burkett   On a recent trip to Florida to meet my parents for a Spring Training baseball game in Tampa, we decided to make a last minute trip to Walt Disney World to spend a half day and have dinner. One thing to keep in mind is that I am a huge Disney…

By Ann Dunnington     It’s that time of year.  Walt Disney World has already been feeling temperatures in the 90s, and summer is still a few months away!   If you’re anything like us, weather at “the world” is on your mind when you’re doing your trip planning.  If you’re going to most magical place…

By:  Rikki Niblett   Spring is one of my favorite times of the year.  I love the budding flowers, the fresh clean scents and the trees gaining their leaves.  Spring, whether it’s at home or at Walt Disney World, is hands down my number one season to enjoy.  Unfortunately, I don’t get down to the…
