The Walt Disney Family Museum
THE WALT DISNEY FAMILY MUSEUM When my husband started planning our 20th wedding anniversary trip, he suggested we try something new, in other words, “something without a mouse in it.” He suggested that we take our 9 year old daughter for a trip down the California Coast, starting with San Francisco. Well, there went his…
Walt’s Train Barn: The Birthplace of Imagineering
On an unusually humid Southern California summer day, my family and I decided to visit one of Griffith Park’s lesser known attractions: Walt’s Train Barn. This stop is a must for lovers of Disney history. Walt’s Train Barn is the actual barn where Walt Disney worked on his miniature trains at his home. It’s website…
My Disney Bucket List
Every year, instead of coming up with resolutions or goals that I don’t intend to keep, I like planning to try at least one new experience. While I have a general “bucket list” of places to see and things I want to experience, as a die-hard Disney fan, I wanted to take my bucket list…

Is it still a Disney vacation without the theme parks?
I have been to Disney’s Vero Beach resort. I have toured the one at Hilton Head, as well. And while, yes, these resorts are beautiful and the level of customer service is everything you would expect from the Walt Disney Company…I cannot bring myself to say that I, personally, would consider at stay at either…
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 6
Today I was supposed to go horseback riding, however I was not feeling well so I decided to try to sleep in. My roommate headed off for the ride and sleep was beckoning, however it was not to be. This is a place where things start early, and people are out and about, and finally…

Bus time was 8am, and we would be traveling to see another popular Yellowstone attraction as well as head to Brooks Lake Lodge in the mountains for our last two nights. After boarding the bus we headed to the “Grand Canyon of Yellowstone”, and it was…
Adventures by Disney Quest for the West: Day 4
Today was sort of an easy day with some down time and guided touring. We woke up and had breakfast in the Obsidian Dining Room at the Snow Lodge (it was fine, although I really missed the Wort Hotel’s oatmeal), and met our group for a walking tour of the Old Faithful area. Disney provided…

We woke up at 6:30am as our bags had to be ready for the bus at 7:15am, got ready, and went to breakfast. At oatmeal and fruit (the oatmeal at the Wort’s Silver Dollar Grill is really good) and boarded the bus to the Grand Teton National Park. Was not a long drive to the…
