The Candlelight Processional has become a yearly tradition for my family during the holidays. I’ve seen some excellent narrators in the past, but this year I was super excited to finally see Neil Patrick Harris! I was a huge fan of “How I Met Your Mother”and even watched him on “Doogie Howser” many years ago,…

Highlights from the Wine and Dine 5K and 10K Races
One thing I love about RunDisney events is that you get to see things during the races that you wouldn’t normally see on an average day in the parks. I recently had the opportunity to run two of the Wine and Dine races and can’t wait to share what I loved the most! Seeing…
Lunch at The Boathouse
Disney Springs has changed dramatically over the past few months. Not only have a wide variety of new stores opened, but there has also been an explosion of new places to eat. I’ve slowly been making my way around the Springs, determined to try everything eventually. One of the places on my list was The…
Ready to Run-Preparing for the Wine and Dine Races
When I signed up for the Princess 5K last year, I expected it to be my one and only race. After all, running is not exactly my thing. Sure, I would jog on the treadmill at the gym every once in a while, but I definitely wouldn’t have called myself a runner. So how did…
Walt Before Mickey: A Movie Review
One night over the summer, I sat down in front of the TV and started flipping through movies on Amazon Prime when I came across Walt Before Mickey. I remembered seeing this movie advertised when it came out last year, but I never got the chance to see it. Just like that, my plan for…
Paradise Found at Disney’s Polynesian VIllas
A few weeks ago, one of my best friends invited me along on a Disney trip to celebrate her son’s birthday. I would have said yes no matter what, but I was especially excited when I found out that they planned to stay in one of Disney’s Polynesian Villas. The last (and only) time I…

I’ve had the pleasure of visiting several of the Orlando area water parks in the past, but this summer I got to try something new: SeaWorld’s Waterpark, Aquatica. As…
Breakfast at Boma-Flavors of Africa
If you have never paid a visit to the Animal Kingdom Lodge, I highly recommend it. It is one of the most unique hotels on Disney property and it is also home to some really fabulous restaurants. A favorite of many guests is Boma-Flavors of Africa, which offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day. I…
Chip and Dale’s Harvest Feast at the Garden Grill
The Land Pavilion is one of my favorite spots in all of Epcot. It is home the very popular attraction, Soarin’ as well as the classic ride, Living with the Land. You will also find some great dining options inside at Sunshine Seasons and the Garden Grill. I visit Sunshine Seasons often to grab snacks,…
First Impressions of Disney Springs
I recently had the opportunity to visit the new and improved Disney Springs and it was exciting! When a name change for Downtown Disney was announced, I had no idea that so many more changes were in store. I couldn’t wait to check everything out! Having been to Downtown Disney many, many times before, I…
Taking an Ice Cream Break at Ample Hills Creamery
Summer temperatures have officially arrived in Florida! If you plan on visiting Walt Disney World this summer, there is no doubt that you will be looking for ways to stay cool on your vacation and I am guessing that frozen treats will be high on your snack list this season. There are a lot of…
An Adventurous Lunch at the Tusker House
Spending the morning exploring Everest and going on an African safari can certainly cause any explorer to work up an appetite! Fortunately, Disney’s Animal Kingdom is also home to some fantastic restaurants where you can refuel before setting out on your next adventure. We decided to try one of the most raved about restaurants, the…
