Earlier this year, Chris and I had the chance to take a trip with my Dad and my brother. We rarely have a chance to get my Dad to Disney, and he isn’t the biggest fan of it. Actually, he says he isn’t when he’s not there, but when you get him to Disney, he’s…

Everything on Walt Disney World
A little bit of Pixie Dust…
A little bit of Pixie Dust goes a long way and truly is magical. My daughter has lost a tooth during our last two trips to Disney World and while there is no way to plan this, it turned into a magical moment thanks to her loving aunt (my sister) and a little bit of…
What’s All the Buzz About Being Galactic Hero?
It’s all about your pilot. If you don’t believe me just ask my husband. I never knew what a Galactic Hero was until I became one on one day in October 2009. It began like every other Tomorrowland adventure in space. The line was not very long for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. As we…
Let loose on the Savanna
Okay we were not really let loose on the savanna but we felt like we got to explore all the little places you cannot see from the public viewing areas or your balcony if you are lucky, and you get up close and almost personal with many of the animals. In addition prepare to learn…
Everyone’s Favorite Disney Meal
As pretty much everyone knows, everything at Disney is subject to change at any time. There is nothing that this is truer of than the discounts that Disney offers on their vacation packages. In the last few years, Disney has had somewhat of a pattern when it comes to offering their August-October discount. This has…
Baby’s First Haircut
When we were planning our first trip to Disney World with our kids my second job became researching all the little things that would make the memories extra special. One of those little things that I found was information about the baby’s first haircut at the Magic Kingdom. At that time our trip was more…

You know, those personal transport systems you see people riding around the Walt Disney World resort and in shopping malls and police are using them to patrol. Well, Disney provides a tour at Epcot called Around the World at Epcot. This tour hour tour takes you…
Find Your Happy Place!
As I was sitting in the dentist’s chair this morning, I was desperately trying to find my “happy place.” Of course my happy place is at Disney, as I’m sure yours is, if you’re reading this. Where did I find myself today? Great question – the Grand Floridian Spa! For my birthday last year, my…
Why Club Cool May Be My Favorite Attraction at Epcot
If my husband and I are spending more than four days in Orlando I always have to get to Epcot twice (at least.) Yes, I love Le Cellier but I feel blessed to get one reservation, forget about two. No, that’s not it. I may go Soarin’ twice, but only if my husband is up…
Window Clings, Garland, and The Fab Five- Decorating My Pop Window for the Fourth of July
I stumbled upon it one day as I searched for information about our upcoming Disney trip. The minute I saw it I knew it would be an obsession that my husband would not understand. It would be the perfect thing to soak up the little free time I had between that moment and the time…
Dinner for 12, please…
When you hear “Grand Gathering” what comes to mind? I know that Disney wants you to have a fairy tale image of happiness and laughing and everyone getting along. Young and old and in between, everyone is thrilled to be together, sharing in the magic of the “happiest place on Earth!” (Right. Have you ever…
The Great Movies of the Great Movie Ride!
I’m moving in. ; ) I think we all want look for ways to carry the magic of our Disney trips over into our every day lives at home, or to find a way to get ourselves excited for an upcoming trip. I like to research and learn more about the history of Disney as…
