For much of the last decade, we have chosen to vacation at Walt Disney World. Our trips have been full of excitement, fun, and pure delight. But occasionally, we venture to other locations for our family vacation. And when we do, Disney always makes an appearance! Two years ago, we spent a weekend touring our…

Merida’s “Brave” New World of Hair
What an amazing mass of flowy, red, curly hair! By now you may have realized that the star of Disney Pixar’s newest animated film “Brave” is Merida, a Scottish princess. If you have seen her in the movie or in the trailers, you have seen her adorable and endless mass of red curls that flow…
Getting Acquainted with Pixar
In my constant quest to find something Disney-related on TV, I happened to find “The Pixar Story” on Netflix. On any other occasion, I would have a hard time sitting through a documentary, but being that this was “technically” Disney, I decided to give it a try. Starting way back when, long before anyone really…
Disneyland bound!
We are going to spend one day at Disneyland! That being said, I have to say that we have never, ever been there. Now, let me clarify just a little….my hubby and I have been to WDW in excess of 14 times since we have been married, and we are well acquainted with the…
Disney Cristmas Here We Come!
Blog posts: 12/17-23/2012 Day 1: Well this is it–probably our last trip to Disney with all 4 of us for quite awhile. Let me introduce you to the main characters–me(Emily), my DH(Robby), my DD(Elizabeth) and my DS(Matthew). I say this is our last trip for awhile because the oldest is already in college…
Another Grand Floridian Treat
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but for our family, eating at the restaurants of the Walt Disney World Resort is almost as much fun as touring the theme parks. Most of us know the “big” places to eat – Cinderella’s Castle, Crystal Palace, Le Cellier, The Brown Derby, Chef Mickey’s, O’hana’s…
Trip Excitement Levels
I remember the first trip to the Walt Disney World Resort that I planned as an adult for my family. I was positively giddy. At the time, we only had one child who was six years old and he was excited, too, but really, my excitement level was off the chart. We made charts for…
Sunshine Seasons makes for a sunny dining experience!
I think that dining at the Walt Disney World Resort is almost as much fun as riding the rides. Of course, I’m a self-described “foodie” who grew up in the food business so that could have something to do with my opinion of the Disney dining experience but I can still say (and have many…
Strolling Disney’s Boardwalk…
I think when most of us go on a vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort, we think of the parks, we think of the rides. The complex itself is massive with so much more to it than just the parks but we tend to think in terms of Space Mountain or Tower of Terror….
The Flying Fish Cafe at Disney’s Boardwalk
There are not too many restaurants at Disney where I have not dined, and at the top of my ‘need to try’ list was the Flying Fish Cafe located at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, right on the Boardwalk. Since it was my mom’s birthday and the trip to Florida was rather short-notice, I decided that mom would…
Rock ‘n Roller Coaster auditions, anyone?
There are so many diverse rides and attractions to be found at any and all of the Disney theme parks. I think locking in an attraction to a person/movie can be a really good thing. Having an attraction dedicated to Walt Disney makes sense. Having rides themed after beloved Disney movies also makes sense. Having…
Imagineering Dream: What Movie Attraction Would You Want?
Back when my son was in middle school, he dreamed of being an Imagineer. We created curriculum around it, bought all kinds of books on the Disney Imagineers and theme park engineering and he even took an online college-level course on it (and aced it!). So maybe that’s why I find myself all these years…
