Epcot From A to Z (Part 2)
Today on our visit to Epcot we’ll start by doing one of my favorite things shopping and end with another favorite, candy! Hours spent in Mouse Gears If I’m not on a ride or attraction, trading a pin, or eating, I’m probably shopping. When I am at Epcot a good deal of that time is…
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…

The Disneyland Hotel: Come for the Koi Fish, Stay for the Setting
By Kate Abbott My first and only previous stay at the Disneyland Hotel was when I was in high school, and the hotel dazzled me — it was the largest hotel I’d ever stayed in (the hotel currently has 990 rooms in its three towers) and featured waterfalls, koi fish to feed, and even remote-controlled…
The Long Haul to Disney: Creating a Successful Disney Road Trip
By Erica Colmenares People make the decision to drive to Disney for all sorts of reasons. For the lucky ones, it’s because it takes less time to drive than it would to fly. For others, it’s cheaper to drive down the whole family than to buy round-trip tickets into Orlando for everyone. There are also…
