My youngest has been cut from a different mold than my older two and myself. The three of us love the thrill rides. Whereas, my hubby and youngest get anxious about the monorail and the Peoplemover. Nah, just kidding! They will ride those all day long, but don’t dare think of asking them to go…
Using the Disability Access Service (DAS) at Walt Disney World
On a recent extended family trip, we had the opportunity to utilize the Disability Access Service. (Otherwise know as DAS.)

Review of Afternoon Tea at the Grand Floridian

Dining Review: Chef’s Table at Flying Fish with Wine Pairing

Why We Love the Cabins at Fort Wilderness
