Rainforest Café for Breakfast!
By: Lindsey Tullier My family and I have always enjoyed dining at both the Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney Rainforest Café locations when we visit Walt Disney World. What’s not to love? There are animatronics, thunderstorms, enthusiastic servers and a large gift shop. However, I only recently discovered that the Animal Kingdom location serves breakfast….
The Flying Fish Cafe at Disney’s Boardwalk
There are not too many restaurants at Disney where I have not dined, and at the top of my ‘need to try’ list was the Flying Fish Cafe located at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, right on the Boardwalk. Since it was my mom’s birthday and the trip to Florida was rather short-notice, I decided that mom would…
Garden Grocer – What a Lifesaver!
When my husband and I started to plan our family’s first trip to Walt Disney World, I realized how many decisions we would have to make. I had been to Walt Disney World many times, but this was the first trip for my two children. It was now a very different experience than my previous…

Bring the Grandparents and Save Money

Just Keep Swimming
As the once wise Dorrie told us “What do we do? We just keep swimming!” I don’t often follow the advice of cartoon fish but in my case recently I have found it to be something I go back to. I have begun the long process of training for the Walt Disney Half Marathon in…
Happy Birthday, Love Mickey Mouse
A couple of years ago, the Walt Disney Company did a campaign where you got in to the parks for free on your birthday. I think this was an awesome idea and if you were a Florida resident, it was probably easier to coordinate than it was for those of us around the country. I’m…
How Early is Too Early to Plan?
There is often a great debate amongst travelers to the Walt Disney World Resort about how far in advance to you start to plan. What is too early? What is too late? What are the pros and cons to both? Let me start by saying, as an unabashed ultimate fan of WDW that it is…

Downtown Disney with Small Children
A trip to Walt Disney World does not have to break the bank, and one way you can cut down on your cost is to have a non-park day scheduled into your vacation. Whether you are staying on Disney property or not, Downtown Disney is easily accessed, and is a great place to spend some…
Why Disney World?
We have made Disney World our family vacation spot for six of the last seven years, with another trip planned for later this year. I have no doubt that some of our family members and friends are wondering, “Why Disney?” Because so many reasons exist for why we continually choose Disney World as our vacation…
