Stop and Smell the Roses
Stopping to smell the roses is a learned art when at Disney World, well at least for me. Back in 2006 I brought my kids to Disney World for the first time and in the months leading up to the trip I hyper planned EVERY minute! Then we got there and I realized that in…

Sittin’ on the dock of a bay…Electrical Water Pageant

Riding for Sentimental Reasons: It’s a Small World
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…
Riding for Sentimental Reasons: Peter Pan’s Flight
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…

Epcot From A to Z (Part 3)
Epcot is a strange mix of many things and today’s list of favorites really shows that. We start on a Viking ship being chased by angry trolls and end up hang-gliding over California. Norway Pavillion and Maelstrom Norway’s ride Maelstrom is a little joke in our family. It’s a World Showcase attraction. Those are safe…
