By Rikki Niblett and Chris Johnson The Epcot Food and Wine Festival is here yet again. It is honestly my favorite time of year at Walt Disney World. I couldn’t get enough of it from the first time I stepped foot in World Showcase a few years ago. – Rikki Yes…what she said! If you…
The Boma Experience
On a recent trip, my family decided we wanted to have a special dinner together. We were, however, without a car and not really looking for a long walk. As we had no Advance Dining Reservations (going to a table-service restaurant was a spur of the moment choice), our selections were limited in the parks….
Exploring Walt Disney World’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
On our last Walt Disney World trip, my family and I decided to spend a day at the Typhoon Lagoon water park. I enjoyed the park and had a fantastic time. Like many water parks, Typhoon Lagoon has a wide variety of water slides. In Keelhaul Falls and Mayday Falls, guests sit in inner tubes…

With the Disney Cruise Line now offering cruises from the Port of Miami, you might be wondering where to stay or what to do if you find yourself wanting to add a pre- or post- stay. We had an opportunity to stay at the Historic Biltmore Hotel and Resort recently and found it to be…
Tusker House
By Teresa Pitman Sometimes Disney makes changes that are – in my opinion – more disappointments than improvements. 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…
Disney’s PhotoPass and PhotoPass Plus: A Great Option for Great Photos
In our family, I’m the one that has taken and documented our girls’ lives in photographs since they were born. My husband has always been the one with the video camera until our oldest daughter discovered her video making skills. I had to always remember to make sure that I was in some of those…
Meeting the Characters
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…

Exciting and memorable, this adventure is well worth one’s time and money. Before our trip last September, I earned four mini-golf tickets as a result of…
