I recently was shopping at Barnes and Noble and found a DVD of the History Channel’s “Modern Marvels: Walt Disney World”. Now, it was done in 2005 so it is a little outdated but really, if you are a WDW enthusiast, and in need of seeing a little bit of the “magic” between trips, it…

Animal Kingdom’s DINOSAUR Attraction: Beware!
Located in Animal Kingdom, DINOSAUR without a doubt wins the prize for the scariest attraction at this park. Though the minimum height requirement for this ride is 40 inches, many kids exceeding this stature will be frightened. The age at which kids would enjoy the ride and have fun would probably be around nine years-old…
More than a burger: Some alternatives in fast food fare
I am a self-proclaimed foodie. I grew up in the food business and I appreciate a good meal. That being said, my family and I absolutely love eating while at Walt Disney World and some of the sit down restaurants are as important to us as the rides that we go on. With the new…
Somewhere, Beyond the Sea: A First Time Cruiser’s Perspective
Alright, I guess I’ve already kind of fibbed…this was technically not my first time cruising. I’ve been on two other cruises in my life…once to six different Caribbean Islands (I can name them all if you really want to know) and the second was on The Big Red Boat which at the time WAS the…
The Magical Tunes of the Disney Cruise
“And now with the captains permission we will play all 6 of the Disney Dream horns” said the cruise director over the intercom on Day 3 of the cruise. It was one of those moments that truly captured all of the Disney magic. And like all of the different horn options, each tune brings to…
The Wonders of a Girls-Only Trip to the World!
It’s not something that many of us get to experience, but every three to four years, my sister and I take a girls only trip to Walt Disney World; no husbands, no kids. Growing up, the only vacation that we ever took as a family was to Disney so I think that has a little…
Traveling to WDW with Toddlers
By: Rhonna Costabile As a seasoned Disney World visitor, and also as a Disney Vacation Club Member, I can say with certainty that some of my most cherished memories of going to Walt Disney World date back to when my children were toddlers. If the thought of conquering a week in Disney with one or…
The Disney Workout: Training for your Trip
I am a self-proclaimed couch potato. I am a freelance writer so I spend a large part of my day sitting at a desk and when I have down time with the family, we usually opt to watch a movie. I was never very sports oriented and so really, it seems like sitting is my…
Adventures by Disney: Quest for the West Day 7
At dinner the previous night we were given pickup and transportation instructions to depart. There are not lots of flights out of Jackson and it is not exactly a busy airport. We had two pickups for the 90 minute trip back to the airport: 9:15am and 10:15am. If you had a 9:15am departure they were…
Adventures by Disney: Quest for the West Day 2
Woke up at 7am and we got organized to get to breakfast. We had some free time this morning to browse the shops and I bought a hoodie, t-shirt & cap combo and a shirt. Then it was back to The Wort Hotel so we could meet for our tour of the Jackson Hole Playhouse, which…
DVC’s Hilton Head Resort
Author: Lindsey Tullier Since becoming Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members in 2007, my family had only stayed at our home resort of Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa on our visits to Walt Disney World. However, for my husband’s birthday this past March, we decided to try something completely different and head to Disney’s Hilton…
Why I Use the Disney Dining Plan…
There always seems to be a great debate on the various Disney websites about whether or not the dining plan is “worth it” and since there are three levels of dining plans now, it seems harder than ever to decide if the dining plan makes sense for your family. Many of the arguments against the…
