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….
Photos around the Contemporary Resort

A Visit to the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco
By Kate Abbott If you are a Disney fan — of Walt himself, or his creations — you must visit the Walt Disney Family Museum. The Disney fan in you (or the animation fan, or the history fan, or the nostalgia fan) will be as thrilled here as if you were visiting an actual theme…
Dan and Jeremy’s Excellent Disney Adventure
By Teresa Pitman If you’ve been to Epcot’s World Showcase, you’ll know that the young Cast Members in each pavilion are actually from the countries they represent — their home towns are listed on their nametags. Ever wondered how they got the chance to leave home and work for Disney? Wonder no more. I have…
Stroller Strategies
Navigating Walt Disney World with a stroller can sometimes be overwhelming. After visiting WDW numerous times without a stroller, with a single stroller, and now with a double stroller, I’ve learned the most useful strategies to have a positive experience while taking a stroller into the parks: Bring a hook or bag that attaches to…
Walt Disney World without Tickets Part 2: Adults
