By Kristi Letsinger My children and I have been to Disney World numerous times. For several of our trips, we have used a Guest Assistance Pass (GAC) due to the fact that one of our travel mates has extreme back issues and needs special assistance. In late fall of last year, my son (age four)…

Epcot’s 18th Annual Flower and Garden Festival
By Carol Garcia For those of us who live in a dreary, gray climate during the winter, a trip to Epcot’s Flower and Garden festival can be just what the doctor ordered. A breath of spring in a beautiful setting can go a long way toward chasing away the winter blues. This year marks…
March 29, 2011- Carnival Valor – Grand Cayman
Not much exciting to report for the Grand Cayman day. Been here several times, most recently in July 2010 on Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas. Today’s plan was to go to a resort for a day pass at the Westin Casaurina Grand Cayman. Family would hang out at the beach and I was going…
Rikki’s Must-Do
By Rikki Niblett Photos by Marc Lorenzo In the past couple of trips, there has been a Must-Do that’s popped up on my radar. It’s not something that Stacy ever mentioned on any of her shows, but trust me, it is a good time! And I think it’s something that you need to check out…
Disney Dream-Inside staterooms
The Disney Dream has something totally new in the cruise industry—portholes in the inside staterooms! This is a unique idea and one that is making these inside staterooms harder to get than those with the large picture window portholes or the verandahs. This same feature will be on the Disney Fantasy when she comes out…
Paradise Pier Hotel
By Naomi M. My kids and I had the fortune to stay at the Paradise Pier Hotel at Disneyland from February 8 through February 14, 2011. We have now stayed at all three Disneyland Resort hotels, and I have to say that the family consensus is that the Paradise Pier Hotel is our favorite. We…
Disney Dream – Balcony Stateroom
In January 2011 I had the great fortune to have a couple of Disney Dream experiences prior to the Maiden Voyage, both in the same stateroom category—which was a Category 5 Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah. This was also my first balcony experience on a Disney cruise (however I have sailed in balcony cabins on…
My DVC Addiction
By Carol Garcia Admittedly, I didn’t start the Disney fanaticism all at once. Who does? I had been to Walt Disney World four times before that fateful hurricane blew us to Orlando on our first family vacation with our daughter. Since we couldn’t get into Cancun for a beach vacation, and had a week…
Walking in Walt’s Footsteps Tour
By Teresa Pitman I have to confess that the first time I went to Disneyland — after many trips to Walt Disney World — I was kind of disappointed. I missed the feeling I got in WDW of being in an entirely separate world, because I could see the ordinary buildings in the background behind…
A Dream Adventure
By Lisa McClure Recently, my husband and I were able to take a short cruise on the Disney Dream. He is a Disney Cast Member and because of that, we were invited to have the opportunity to go on a short cruise to put the ship “through the ropes” before guests arrived, making sure everything…
The Disney California Adventure Change is Here!
By Becky Mac My family and I went to the Disneyland Resort in the middle of November, 2010, and I have to say that we were blown away by the shear number of construction walls everywhere in Disney California Adventure. It reminded me of a song…”Here a wall, there a wall, everywhere a wall, wall…”…
Via Napoli
By Sarah DeMare In November, I had the pleasure of dining at Via Napoli, the new pizzeria in the Italy pavilion at Epcot. This was a fantastic dinner, and if you are short on time, you can skip the details and just go ahead and make an ADR for your next trip, you won’t be…
