Of all the nice restaurants in Hollywood Studios, my favorites are Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater and 50’s Prime Time Café. It is tough deciding where to eat between these two. Though they both are fun and have delicious foods, they each have pros and cons. Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, which looks like a drive-in, is a fun…

Epcot From A to Z (Part 1)
Epcot. As a kid I really wasn’t excited about it. And now to think about a day there leaves me longing for more time. This time out in a search for my favorites, we’ll start with all the soda you can drink and end with a Gran Fiesta Tour starring three well-known Disney birds. All…
March 29, 2011- Carnival Valor – Grand Cayman
Not much exciting to report for the Grand Cayman day. Been here several times, most recently in July 2010 on Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas. Today’s plan was to go to a resort for a day pass at the Westin Casaurina Grand Cayman. Family would hang out at the beach and I was going…
Photo Journal—Documenting Your Trip in Pictures
Last year some friends were planning their first trip to WDW. As I was talking to them about their upcoming trip, I mentioned a couple of great photo areas. The mother responded that they were not big photograph people and didn’t think they were going to bother taking a camera. While I found this information…
How WDW Made Me Think About Heaven
On my family’s second trip to WDW, our boys were six and four-years-old. Our first visit had been two years before, and everything had been truly magical. The children were in awe of all the sights and activities. There were no disappointments and no complaints. Naively, I expected the same attitudes, reactions, and dispositions in my…
A Magical Memory- Sweeping Up
One memory I have is kind of silly, but it was a magical moment for everyone involved. This memory is from our June 2009 trip to Disney World. It was hot. I am from Houston, so I feel like I have a certain heat tolerance that people from other parts of the country don’t have…
Paradise Pier Hotel
By Naomi M. My kids and I had the fortune to stay at the Paradise Pier Hotel at Disneyland from February 8 through February 14, 2011. We have now stayed at all three Disneyland Resort hotels, and I have to say that the family consensus is that the Paradise Pier Hotel is our favorite. We…
The Great Park Hopper Debate
I am a park hopper. I love to park hop. Whenever we book our Walt Disney World vacation, we always get the park hopper passes. Do I park hop every day? No. Can I park hope every day? Absolutely? Park hopping really depends on who you are traveling with and what exactly you want from…
Driving vs. Flying
I take two very different trips to Walt Disney World. The first is the family trip with my husband and kids. We live in North Carolina and we drive the ten hours to Disney. The second is my girls-only trip to the World where my sister and I go together and we fly – me…
Waiting for Infinity and Beyond
I was looking through my son’s autograph book from a few years ago with my kids the other day. This is a favorite past time for them. When we go to Disney World, one of the first things that I buy for them is the autograph books with the slots for the pictures. When we…
Fanny Pack Packing 101
As the mom in the group, it is my responsibility to be the MacGyver of the group; I should have everything on hand to fix any situation while skipping happily through the theme parks. When the kids were little, carrying a diaper bag was a necessity and could fit an endless array of products for…
My DVC Addiction
By Carol Garcia Admittedly, I didn’t start the Disney fanaticism all at once. Who does? I had been to Walt Disney World four times before that fateful hurricane blew us to Orlando on our first family vacation with our daughter. Since we couldn’t get into Cancun for a beach vacation, and had a week…
