Blog posts: 12/17-23/2012 Day 1: Well this is it–probably our last trip to Disney with all 4 of us for quite awhile. Let me introduce you to the main characters–me(Emily), my DH(Robby), my DD(Elizabeth) and my DS(Matthew). I say this is our last trip for awhile because the oldest is already in college…

Staying Healthy at Disney
There is nothing more frustrating than arriving at the Happiest Place on Earth, and spending most of your vacation sick in bed. This has probably happened to most of us at one time or another and is not much fun for anybody. I know it’s happened to us before and over the years we have…
The Finish Line in the Distance
It has been a while since I have posted anything about my upcoming race in January so I thought I would update my progress. I have now reached the one month away point in my training and as the days have ticked by I am getting so excited about this opportunity. My room is booked,…
The wonders of Cinderella’s Castle
Cinderella’s castle is so much more than the iconic focal point of the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort. While it may not house a ride, there is still much to see and do inside this amazing structure. First, a little history. Cinderella Castle was inspired by a variety of real and fictional…
Eating Disney-style at home
I don’t know about you, but there is something to be said about dining at the Walt Disney World Resort. I enjoy dining almost as much as I enjoy riding the rides in the parks. Of course for me, it is largely due to the fact that I come from a family that loves to…
So much more than a three-hour tour…
You can easily spend a full-week at the Walt Disney World Resort and still not see everything. Most of us have a vacation budget, but if money were no object, would you want to participate in one of those special “behind the scenes” types of tours? Believe it or not, there are many to choose…
Why the holidays are more magical…
If you could choose a time to the Walt Disney World Resort when it is the most magical, I would highly recommend choosing to go during the Christmas season. Now I know that most of us have been trained to think “No, no, it’s too expensive to go then” but it’s simply not true. Why? …

Magical Mystical Massage
On our Disney trip in August, Chris gave me my favorite sort of birthday present – a spa visit! Since I have already tried out the Grand Floridian Spa (and it’s going to be closed for the next 18 months) and the Mandara Spa at the Dolphin, I figured that it was time to try…
Running Down a Dream
I know that those words come from a Petty and The Heartbreakers song but on a recent jog those words kept running (no major pun intended) across my mind. I have been checking in with all of you from time to time as I get ready to run my first half marathon in Walt Disney…
Epcot and Kids: FUTURE WORLD
Epcot and Kids – FUTURE WORLD As someone who helps people plan vacations, one of the questions I sometime hear is “What’s in Epcot for Kids?” The answer is PLENTY! Rides, shows and characters abound in Epcot. You just have to get IN to those buildings to find them. From the time my children were…
