By Rikki Niblett I’m guilty of it so I know you must be too! With a place the size of Walt Disney World there are always going to be some attractions that have to be dropped…that you simply aren’t going to make it to. Unfortunately, that’s just how it works. I realized it myself on…
Why Do We Travel to Disney?
It seems that every time we tell family that we are going to Disneyland or Walt Disney World, we are asked why. Why travel there “all the time”? “Why do you have to go to Disney?”, we’re asked. “You’ve already been there,” the family says. Today, I was reading some Walt Disney quotes, and I…
This Month in Disney Parks History – July
With this month bringing the 58th anniversary of Disneyland and of Disney parks in general it got me thinking about how much has changed over the past 58 years of Disney Parks. So many attractions have come and some have stayed though many have gone. So many milestones have been reached and obstacles overcome. In…

Looks like I picked a good time to go on a lengthy Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Vacation! The news was really quiet during my two week hiatus. Thanks to Naomi for filling in for me, as last Monday, I was sailing on the Disney Dream! Last week, Naomi talked about Candlelight Processional and…
Foodie Friday: Best Snacks in Epcot
Epcot and snacks go together like peanut butter and jelly. There’s just something about trying different things from not only Future World, but the different countries around World Showcase. It was honestly SUPER hard to condense this list down from at least something from every pavilion! But, I powered through. First things first, let’s…
Happy Birthday, Disneyland!
Yesterday was Disneyland’s 58th birthday. While it has been 58 years since Disneyland opened, the park itself really doesn’t look or feel that old. Not only have the attractions been kept up well, but the park has continued to grow and evolve throughout the years. As Walt Disney said, “Disneyland will always be building and…
Foodie Friday: Best Snacks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Ok…I’m gonna be honest. I don’t spend a lot of time at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It is always the park that I will forgo on a trip and when I do visit, it is only for a few hours. I know…bad Disney fan! Because of that, I don’t eat a whole lot at this park. …
The Pirates Adventure – Treasures of the Seven Seas
ARG! The Pirates Adventure in Adventureland is an interactive activity for all ages. You need to enlist at the building set up on the walkway towards Splash Mountain (next to where the McDonald’s French fry stand used to be). My son and I recently had a chance to try this out on our trip to…
Choosing a Walt Disney World Resort

Parasailing Fun on Bay Lake
By Ann Dunnington Back in early 2011, my husband and I were watching one of the Walt Disney World travel shows that Netflix offers called “Undiscovered Disney Parks”. It showed different experiences outside the parks that guests could enjoy- the Richard Petty Driving Experience, Disney Quest, Surfing at Typhoon Lagoon, etc. But one experience that…
The new Disney Interactive’s Story app: Tell your story with style!
Disney has always been a master at storytelling. So it makes perfect sense that they would create an app to help us regular folks tell the stories of our lives! Disney Interactive’s new Story app is a great tool to help you present those photos that you have been taking and storing on your iPhone…
