When Disney first announced FastPass+, I’ll admit that I was a little skeptical. My biggest complaint with the system was that originally, you could only pick three rides per day. Really!?!? As a long time Disney vacationer, I had prided myself on being good at getting FastPass tickets. Over the years, I learned a system…

Inside the Mountain at the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train!
“Heigh-HOOOOOOOOO!!!” It’s time to go INSIDE THE MOUNTAIN… The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train officially opens to the public this week (Wednesday, May 28th), and I was thrilled to happen upon a soft opening of this long-awaited attraction. I’d love to give you a sneak peek with a few of my photos from the day, with…
Summer Fun at Walt Disney World – New attractions await
On May 23rd Disney is kicking off summer with the annual all-nighter party when as of 6 a.m. guests can enjoy the Magic Kingdom for full twenty-four hours. I have done this party last year and it is a lot of fun but summer and especially the weather in Florida can be quite hard on…
Celebrating at Walt Disney World
In my opinion, there is no place better to celebrate special events than at a Disney park! My family has celebrated many events in our lives at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Disney parks provide so many opportunities to celebrate! Disney really had a great idea when they introduced the “generic” celebrating button like…
Annual Events at Walt Disney World
Have you booked your vacation to Walt Disney World and want to know what else might be going on during the time you are there? I know when I’m planning my trips, I always like to have an idea of other things that are available to do. Of course, we normally know about what’s available…
Epcot’s Behind the Seeds tour is a green Experience
While the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is in full swing why not immerse yourselves completely in Living with the Land? You probably have taken the relaxing and very educational boat ride inside the Land Pavilion before but have you ever taken the Behind the Seeds tour? At $20 (adults) and $16 (children 3-9)…
Dining with a View
When you think of a Disney vacation, you think of being active. It seems like you are always running from one attraction to the next. There are children running everywhere. Adults running after them. It’s hard sometimes just to stop and take it all in. But, if you can slow down, you may be amazed…
Via Napoli – The best Pizza to be found at Walt Disney World
When it comes to pizza at Walt Disney World or anywhere else for that matter I admit I am picky. I have visited Italy and ever since been spoiled and difficult to please. Even after twenty-five years in New York which is home to a huge Italian community and offers great choices when it comes…
Epcot Easter Egg Hunt
No matter how much planning and preparing goes into a Walt Disney World trip, sometimes something spontaneous still provides a lot of fun. Today, we happened to stumble upon an Epcot Easter Egg hunt, and this turned out to be a fun little addition to our tour of World Showcase. The Epcot Egg-stravagenza was held…

Every corner of New Fantasyland brings to life treasured Disney stories and beloved characters, and this is certainly…

Maharajah Jungle Trek is a 1/3 mile long, self guided tour in the Asia section of Animal Kingdom. The path features foot bridges, waterfalls, a bird aviary and houses many threatened…
Growing Up Disney (p.3)
Last summer, my daughter was 9 years old when we went Disney World. She had been to Disney World five or six times by now. I remember wondering if she would still like going. What more could we do that we haven’t done already. Turns out, quite a bit … Her favorite ride in Magic…
