Everything About Walt Disney World Resorts
California Grill Review
Last month, my boyfriend and I celebrated our 5-year anniversary and to celebrate the occasion, he surprised me with a dinner at the California Grill. Neither one of us had been to the California Grill before, but it was one I had wanted to try for quite some time. Due to the costly menu, we…
Chase the Winter Blues Away with Dreams of Stormalong Bay
Now that the hustle and bustle of the Holiday season is behind us, and winter is in full effect (at least here in Michigan – there’s a reason our state is shaped like a mitten!), all we can seem to think about is escaping the sub-zero wind-chills and blustery snow! When we can’t seem to…
Port Orleans French Quarter: Dreaming of Mardi Gras

Wilderness Lodge Resort: Luxury in the Woods
I’m sure if you look in any thesaurus under Walt Disney World Resort’s Wilderness Lodge, you will find the words “magnificent”, “majestic” and “incredible”. When I planned a September adventure, during the Free Dining Promotion, I knew we were staying at a deluxe resort, but had never imagined how much I would come to…
Our Disney List for Santa
Our son, who is 8, came home from school the other day to show us his class assignment – a letter to Santa. They used all the parts for a formal letter. Santa will definitely be impressed and bring him all those Legos. As we were reading (by the way…he’s likely getting 8 of his…
