Mickey’s Trick-or-Treat Party
By Kristi Letsinger My family and I hadn’t been to the California parks in quite a while, and were very excited to make a fall visit to experience Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort. The highlight of our Halloween festivities was Mickey’s Trick-or-Treat Party at California Adventure. I had been to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party…
Getting Into the Spirit: Christmas at the Disneyland Resort
By Kate Abbott It seems like I was just reminiscing about HalloweenTime at Disneyland, but now it’s almost Christmas! All the spooky jack-o’-lanterns are gone (well, except for in the Nightmare Before Christmas–themed Haunted Mansion) to make room for sparkly, shiny, cheerful winter holiday decorations adorning Disneyland and California Adventure. If you can’t make it to…
HalloweenTime at Disneyland
By Kate Abbott It’s HalloweenTime at the Disneyland Resort (or, as the kids say on a Northern California Disneyland radio commercial, “It’s HalloweeeeeeeenTime!”) and both Disneyland and California Adventure have got orange-and-yellow highlights. I wasn’t expecting the crowds I encountered on my recent visit, but even when sharing the park with lots of visitors, a…
Disney’s Vero Beach Resort
By Jane Jones Ahhhhh…”Vero Beach“… Those are the two most relaxing words in my vocabulary. This summer my family went on the most amazing adventure: we went on the Disney Mediterranean cruise!

Although his dream was not achieved as envisioned, the Walt Disney World we know today has come pretty close. You can shop, dine and play throughout the resort. But, in Downtown Disney (DTD)…
Exploring Animal Kingdom Lodge
By Teresa Pitman Animal Kingdom Lodge not only makes a great home base for guests exploring the parks, it’s well worth exploring all on its own – even if you aren’t staying there. With free tours and many daily activities, as well as African wildlife in the savannahs outside, you can have a full day…
MouseFest in Review
By Carol Garcia It’s that time again. No, not a December holiday, but MouseFest! This year, like last, my family and I made the trip to Walt Disney World for the annual gathering of Disney fans. Although the purpose of our trip was to be a part of MouseFest, the great thing about all of…
Disney’s Moderate Resorts – Part One
By Linda Norton Selecting a Disney resort is sort of like picking a candy bar—there are no bad ones and everyone has a favorite. The Value resorts at Disney are a great place to stay while on property, but if you want a bit more space and amenities, then it may be time to consider…
Fall Festivities Disney Style
By Carol Garcia Ah, Fall! The leaves are changing. The air is getting crisp. The rain has started. The kids have colds. I miss the sun! What a wonderful time to go to Disney.Although my midwest perspective on Fall doesn’t always paint a pretty picture, a Fall trip to either Walt Disney World or Disneyland…
Animal Kingdom Lodge
By Linda Norton My family and I just returned from a long Disney trip – 11 nights! The objective of this trip was to try new things. It is getting difficult for us to find new things to do after 24 trips in five years, but Disney changes enough so we usually manage to find…
Having a Magical Trip — No Matter How Crowded It Is
By Kate Abbott Donald and Mickey perform in the daily morning 50th Anniversary Rededication Ceremony on Main Street. Arrive earlier to go on rides or collect FastPasses before you watch the ceremony. You’re going to Disneyland! That’s great. You’re going in the summer? Or on a holiday weekend? Well, that can be great, too. Any…
