I have really learned to love having Netflix on our Wii at home.  The possibilities are endless and while we have found some utterly ridiculous television shows and movies to watch, I was thrilled to find a little Walt Disney World to watch! “Disney Parks: Ultimate Walt Disney World” focuses on all of the thrills…

I recently was shopping at Barnes and Noble and found a DVD of the History Channel’s “Modern Marvels:  Walt Disney World”.  Now, it was done in 2005 so it is a little outdated but really, if you are a WDW enthusiast, and in need of seeing a little bit of the “magic” between trips,  it…

I am a self-proclaimed foodie.  I grew up in the food business and I appreciate a good meal.  That being said, my family and I absolutely love eating while at Walt Disney World and some of the sit down restaurants are as important to us as the rides that we go on. With the new…

It’s not something that many of us get to experience, but every three to four years, my sister and I take a girls only trip to Walt Disney World; no husbands, no kids. Growing up, the only vacation that we ever took as a family was to Disney so I think that has a little…

I am a self-proclaimed couch potato.  I am a freelance writer so I spend a large part of my day sitting at a desk and when I have down time with the family, we usually opt to watch a movie.  I was never very sports oriented and so really, it seems like sitting is my…

When you are someone who LOVES Walt Disney World, the people around you tend to notice.  What gives it away?  Well, it usually starts with the need to wear Disney character t-shirts or having a purse or tote bag with a character on it.  Or there is the ever popular key chain.  Sometimes you can…

I had heard rumors of its existence but never wanted to actually leave the park to verify if it was true.  At nine o’clock p.m. , if I am in any of the four parks of Walt Disney World, I want to stay in the park until they kick me out!  But not too long…

There is quite possibly no other ride that brings you both joy and dread like “It’s a Small World”.  It’s the ride that you want to love but a song that will stay with you until you think you’ll scream! My mother rode the original “It’s a Small World” at the 1964 World’s Fair in…

But, Peter, how do we get to Never Land? Fly, of course. In all honesty, the movie “Peter Pan” isn’t even one of my favorites.   There are numerous Disney movies that I prefer to watch over and over again and yet while at the Magic Kingdom, my day is not complete unless I get…

I don’t know about you but the level of customer service I receive can make or break my day. It doesn’t matter if I’m at the supermarket or at a restaurant, if I do not get decent customer service it can ruin my experience. Disney has mastered the art of customer service and it is…

I am a park hopper. I love to park hop. Whenever we book our Walt Disney World vacation, we always get the park hopper passes. Do I park hop every day? No. Can I park hope every day? Absolutely? Park hopping really depends on who you are traveling with and what exactly you want from…
