A-Z left off with The Tree of Life and starts up again under the ground… Underground Habitat of Mole Rats This may seem like a weird one to like. When walking through the Pangani Forest you will come to a hut. Upon entering you will notice a glass observation area. It is not brightly…

Animal Kingdom From A to Z (Part 3)
Our A-Z Journey left us exploring the flora and fauna of the Maharajah Jungle Trek. This time we start out under the sea for letter N: (Finding) Nemo: The Musical A fishy musical at the end of Dinoland, USA seems a little off but once you’re there, Dory will be the only one who’s…
Animal Kingdom From A to Z (Part 2)
I left off with my A-Z look at Animal Kingdom with a stop at the Gorilla Research Camp. This time we’ll swoop into letter H: Hanging with the Giant Fruit Bats I don’t really care for bats. I’m not afraid of them (unless one gets in my house), but I just don’t find them…
Animal Kingdom From A to Z (Part 1)
When visiting the four Florida Disney parks there are hundreds, probably thousands, of things to do. I’ve often been posed with the question, “What’s your favorite thing at Disney World?” Like anyone who loves the experience the way I do, this question almost stops you in your tracks. I can’t be expected to pick JUST…
Pin Trading- Why We’re Stuck on It
I’ve never really been a collector in any organized way- not dolls, not stamps, nothing. I certainly have amassed a large number of Disney and Mickey Mouse items but they were all very random. That is until about five years ago when my husband and I started collecting Disney pins. Our first experience with this began…
Single Rider: Even Better Than Fast Pass
I have always been somewhat alone on my Disney trips, no matter who I have been there with. The early trips, it was my parents, my younger brother and me. Now days, it’s my husband and me. Either way, I was and am alone. I am the only ride-lover. There was one incident where in…
Why Pop is Tops: My Reasons for Choosing Pop Century
I’ve stayed in a couple of Disney and a couple off-site resorts over the years and we keep coming back to Pop Century. Today I’m going to explain our love affair with this value resort to you. Price It is a value resort. I don’t spend a great deal of time at my resort so…
Revisiting the Past at 37 and 63: Everest Isn’t Space Mountain
If I didn’t look exactly like my father I might claim I was adopted. Why? Because no one in my family likes rides of any sort and I was born to conquer any and every coaster, spinner, or scrambler placed in my way. This fact made our first family trip to Disney a bit of…
July 3rd at Magic Kingdom (Shh, It’s the Best Kept Secret in the World!)
In recent years, my husband, Jim, and I have started going to Disney World every year over the 4th of July. It is becoming such a tradition that my screen name on many Disney related sites is DisneyEveryJuly. We don’t mind the heat or the crowds and we love the 4th. But I’m going to…
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…
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…
