There are meet and greets in every park. And each park has at least one place where you can see multiple characters. You’ve got The Toontown Hall of Fame (at least for a little while longer) in the Magic Kingdom, Camp Minnie-Mickey at Animal Kingdom, and the Animation Building in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and lastly you’ve got the Epcot Character Spot. My favorite of the above…

Continuation of Bridget’s series on preparing for the Disney’s Princess Half Marathon Part 1 of Bridget’s “Princess in Preparation” Blog can be found here. Part 2 of Bridget’s “Princess in Preparation” Blog can be found here. I am on vacation this week in the Smoky Mountain National Park. When I am not vacationing at Disney World you…
All Star Music – Our Room!
We were welcomed to our room at All Star Music with a towel Mickey! The two double beds always work well as a place to sleep and a place to keep our suitcases and other assorted bags (can you say “SHOPPING”?!?!) The small sitting areas in rooms at the All Stars are great for eating…
Bistro De Paris
June 30, 2010 This trip was one where I was crossing things off my “haven’t done” yet list. One of the places which I have been walking by for years is the Bistro de Paris. I’m pretty much a regular at Les Chefs de France and can count on stopping in there for lunchat least…
What Are You Celebrating? or How I Finally Got My Husband to Wear Ears
My husband, Jim, and I choose to go to Disney World every year at the beginning of July to celebrate our anniversary there. My husband is my favorite person and that is my favorite place. It only makes sense. It also makes sense that I put our anniversary on our reservation at table service meals….
Photomosaic-ing Your Disney Vacation
A while back I discovered a great software package that makes a great photo to remember your vacation by. The resulting image is something that has been used at various Disney locations. My favorite use of it was the Disneyland 50th Anniversary year when Disney had people send in their favorite photos from Disneyland and…
Summer Nightastic Trip Report – Day 2
Today was going to be a long day for us, and a bit of a rare one, in that we were planning to be at a park pretty much at opening. Not quite there for rope drop, but we were planning to get to the Studios for about 9 am. We made it just a…
Ocho Rios Bobsleds
On cruises we seldom do any shore excursions but instead usually tour the island on our own, or just look around the port where we’re docked. However, when you’re cruising with two teens that like adventure, sometimes there’s just something that you can’t pass up. This trip there was a new shore excursion to bobsled…
Quick Service Dining Options at Kidani Village
My family recently had a wonderful stay at Kidani Village, one of the newest Disney Vacation Club resorts next door to Animal Kingdom Lodge. I love the resort, but the quick service dining options were lacking a bit at least for dining plan choices. This would not stop me from staying here again, but I would…
Raglan Road Irish Pub
June 26, 2011 There are not too many places where I have not dined at Disney, and Raglan Road located in Downtown Disney has been one restaurant which did not appeal to me. I’m not a huge fan of British pub food in the traditional sense—Bangers & Mash and Fish & Chips are not for…
A photo tour of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Last month my family had the opportunity to visit the Universal Resort in Orlando, Florida. We took advantage of the onsite perks by staying at Universal’s Portifino Bay Resort and were able to gain early entry into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter for all four days of our stay. Enjoy traveling to Hogsmeade!
All Star Music Family Suite…a photo tour
Many families over four people wonder what resort accommodations are available to them. A few years ago, Disney decided to convert some of the rooms at All Star Music Resort into Family Suites. These suites accommodate 6 people and an infant under 3. The suites have a living area with a sofa that converts…
