A little bit of Pixie Dust…
A little bit of Pixie Dust goes a long way and truly is magical. My daughter has lost a tooth during our last two trips to Disney World and while there is no way to plan this, it turned into a magical moment thanks to her loving aunt (my sister) and a little bit of…

What’s All the Buzz About Being Galactic Hero?
It’s all about your pilot. If you don’t believe me just ask my husband. I never knew what a Galactic Hero was until I became one on one day in October 2009. It began like every other Tomorrowland adventure in space. The line was not very long for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. As we…
Leaving Property
By Carol Garcia When staying at Walt Disney World, it’s quite easy to stay on-property for an entire trip and live in the “Disney bubble.” Unlike Disneyland, which is surrounded by reality on all sides, Disney World is just apart from the real world enough to make it easily avoided on a vacation. But central…
Let loose on the Savanna
Okay we were not really let loose on the savanna but we felt like we got to explore all the little places you cannot see from the public viewing areas or your balcony if you are lucky, and you get up close and almost personal with many of the animals. In addition prepare to learn…

Find Your Happy Place!
As I was sitting in the dentist’s chair this morning, I was desperately trying to find my “happy place.” Of course my happy place is at Disney, as I’m sure yours is, if you’re reading this. Where did I find myself today? Great question – the Grand Floridian Spa! For my birthday last year, my…
