Everything About Walt Disney World Resorts
Walt Disney World Versus Disneyland: Disney-Owned Resorts
Today, I’m continuing my comparison of Walt Disney World and Disneyland by taking a look at the Disney-owned resorts. First of all, I will clarify that the lodging at Walt Disney World is termed “resort”; however, the lodging at Disneyland is termed “hotel”. Let’s start with Walt Disney World, shall we? With 24 Disney-owned resorts…
The Boardwalk Recreation Area
If you have an evening to spend at Disney World but you don’t want to go to a park and fight the crowds, a fun place to stop is the Boardwalk. The boardwalk has fun shopping and dining opportunities you don’t need to use a park ticket. Enjoy a good meal at the many dining…
Easter Eggs at the Grand Floridian
Recently, I was able to visit the Grand Floridian and see the beautiful display of handmade edible Easter eggs. These confectionery treats are definitely a feast for the eyes. Here is a sampling of the beautiful creations from the Grand Floridian bakery team. Enjoy and Happy Easter!
Resort Hopping
As I sat in the middle of a parking lot watching bus after bus come by and pick up guests from the Magic Kingdom, I realized that I had made a mistake. Unfortunately, the mistake was made three months before, during the planning stages of the vacation, and there wasn’t much I could do about…
Walt Disney World Resort Food Courts
Sometimes I hear people lament how there is a lack of table service restaurants at the Disney Value Resorts and some of the Disney Moderate Resorts. I used to be one of them because when I travel with my kids, I would rather the food be brought to me instead of me having to get…
The Boma Experience
On a recent trip, my family decided we wanted to have a special dinner together. We were, however, without a car and not really looking for a long walk. As we had no Advance Dining Reservations (going to a table-service restaurant was a spur of the moment choice), our selections were limited in the parks….

For sports fans and Disney enthusiasts, staying at All-Star Sports resort is a remarkable choice with many benefits. First of all, All-Star Sports is an excellent resort choice because, although it is not themed…
Tales From a Disneyland First-timer
What can I tell you about Disneyland that you don’t already know, or haven’t already heard? Even as a first time visitor with my hubby last month, I knew that it would be a good Disney time. I knew the magic would be there, and I had read about the rides and attractions that we…
Disney Must-Haves…
In the past I have shared my strange obsession of taking home meaningless merchandise (and I use that term loosely!) from my Walt Disney World Resort vacations. Stray napkins, unused fast-passes, maps – you name it, I bring it home. So yes, it’s weird but beyond them are some other things that are on my…
Souvenirs or Stuff?
I hate to admit it, but I save a LOT of stuff from my visits to the Walt Disney World Resort. I have maps, brochures, napkins, pins, soap, shampoos, body lotion…I mean, if it has the WDW logo on it, for some reason, I find the need to save it. These things have made for…
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
Back in 2008, my family and I stayed at POP Century for our trip. We were in the 70’s complex, right on the lake, and we could see the unfinished side of the resort. It was one of those moments (again) where I wish there was a giant tent or wall around the whole thing…
