Let the Memories Begin Surprise – Part II
Read Part I of Let the Memories Begin Surprise By the time we put the presents under the tree last night, I could hardly stand it. It was hard to believe that we had actually kept this a secret for nearly nine months and now the hour was upon us to “spring” the surprise. My…
Let the Memories Begin Surprise – Part I
It started with a simple e-mail from a friend. Before Disney had even announced their new “Let the Memories Begin” promotion, I was planning a surprise trip to Disney for myself and my two girls with my husband’s blessing for New Year’s weekend. That was back in April and now here we are, less than…
Have Time?? Take the Disneyland Holiday Tour!!
My family and I were at Disneyland the week of November 14th – 20th. Through the week, we saw people sitting on the Main Street curb for one to two hours before the parade. While we wanted to see the parade, we didn’t want to spend that much time sitting and not spending the time…
Trip of the lifetime on the Lilly Belle
I had heard that people could ride on the Lilly Belle during the Year of a Million Dreams at Disneyland; however, I was never able to on my two trips during that time frame. When my family and I went to Disneyland last week, I half-heartedly asked at the Guided Tours kiosk if we could…
Keep Disney With You All Through the Year
My favorite Christmas program as a child was Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. In this show, Bob and Linda sing (and sign) a song called “Keep Christmas With You All Through the Year”. I try to do that with Disney. You know the feeling…you’ve left the parks. You’re back at home. Maybe you have a bounceback trip booked, maybe you…
Make a Character Connection
There are meet and greets in every park. And each park has at least one place where you can see multiple characters. You’ve got The Toontown Hall of Fame (at least for a little while longer) in the Magic Kingdom, Camp Minnie-Mickey at Animal Kingdom, and the Animation Building in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and lastly you’ve got the Epcot Character Spot. My favorite of the above…

What Are You Celebrating? or How I Finally Got My Husband to Wear Ears
My husband, Jim, and I choose to go to Disney World every year at the beginning of July to celebrate our anniversary there. My husband is my favorite person and that is my favorite place. It only makes sense. It also makes sense that I put our anniversary on our reservation at table service meals….
Finding Something New After All These Years…
One of my favorite things about Disney is that you’ve never seemed to explore everything there is to explore. For me, this summer’s yearly 4th of July trip offered a lot of surprises but one of the best was miniature golf. We’ve mini-golfed in Orlando but not the Disney courses and what a treat! We…
Disney Dining for the Picky Eater
I am a fan of the Disney Dining Plan but for a rather odd reason. It gives my husband the opportunity to eat at restaurants he will love that we would never go to. Why? Because I am a picky eater and I would never pay high prices to go somewhere I won’t eat. So…
