The other morning I woke up, looked out the window and thought “it looks like Fall”. That thought lead me to think about Halloween which, of course, led me to think about Disneyland’s transformation of the Haunted Mansion into the Haunted Mansion Holiday. If you don’t know about this, every October-December Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion is…
Disney with Diabetes – It’s All About Choices
By Lindabee My name is Lindabee, and I’m a diabetic. Diabetes hasn’t been easy for me. I wasn’t born with a sweet tooth . . . I was born with an entire mouthful. But I’ve learned that living with diabetes is all about choices. When I was diagnosed three years ago, I began keeping a…
Can I Have Your Autograph Please?
Daughter Mary has been to WDW multiple times. She loves it there, and when she’s not at Disney, she spends her time Disney Dreamin’. She is our unofficial tour planner, and does a great job. And she’s a scrap booker who makes wonderful autograph books for her kids. I love her autograph books, but I’m…
A Taste of Germany
Compiled By Lindsey Tullier When the time to make Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs) for our past Mother’s Day trip to Walt Disney World was rapidly approaching, I knew I wanted to try something new. This task is becoming increasingly difficult since we have sampled so many WDW menus. I recalled a restaurant that I had…
Making Magic Happen! Creative Ways to Spread Some Pixie Dust!
I loved the year that Disney employed its Dream Team to spread extra magic randomly around the park. I wished desperately that I could be on the Dream Squad. But never one to be constrained, I decided I could and would still become a magic maker – unofficial of course. I love doing things for…

Walt Disney World – A Place of Magic, Innocence, and Healing
My love of Walt Disney World began as a little girl (about age 5), when my parents brought my younger brother and I there for the first time. I remember soaring high over Fantasyland in a flying elephant and diving 20,000 leagues under the sea. I have returned to WDW several times since then, including…

A Princess in Preparation, Part 2
I have hit a roadblock already and surprisingly is has nothing to do with the running part. I haven’t even managed to register for the Disney Princess Half marathon and right away I have learned that when trying to organize a group of people who have vastly different schedules, income levels, and abilities to leave their…
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
It is seen as the top of the line resort hotel on all of the Walt Disney World property in Orlando, Florida. From its prime location right next to the Magic Kingdom which puts it onthe monorail loop, to its turn-of-the-century Victorian theme, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is the one resort that simply has…
T-Rex Café at Downtown Disney
As the mother of two young boys, I am always on the lookout for Walt Disney World experiences that do not involve princesses, fairies, or tea parties. Although T-Rex Café, located in the Marketplace of Downtown Disney, is not actually Disney owned and operated, it does fit the rough-and-tumble nature of my little Disney Devils….
