Let loose on the Savanna
Okay we were not really let loose on the savanna but we felt like we got to explore all the little places you cannot see from the public viewing areas or your balcony if you are lucky, and you get up close and almost personal with many of the animals. In addition prepare to learn…
Window Clings, Garland, and The Fab Five- Decorating My Pop Window for the Fourth of July
I stumbled upon it one day as I searched for information about our upcoming Disney trip. The minute I saw it I knew it would be an obsession that my husband would not understand. It would be the perfect thing to soak up the little free time I had between that moment and the time…

Samawati Springs
The pool at Kidani Village, while in my opinion is in awkward place (you have to cross either the circle drop off area by the main entrance, or go down into the parking garage and cross through there) was a pleasant surprise, as the one at Jambo house has never overly impressed me. There is…

A Photo Tour of Disney’s Bay Lake Tower
Disney’s Contemporary Resort is almost a historic icon at the Walt Disney World Resort and when the North Wing was demolished in 2006 to make room for a new DVC tower many Contemporary fans were skeptic over the impending skyline change while others were overjoyed at the possibilities of additional Magic Kingdom views! Disney has…

The night before we came home, John decided to treat me and two of my clients to a Horse and Carriage ride at Port Orleans. We went to Port Orleans Riverside and found out to reserve a ride you need to go anytime after 5 PM to the Marina and find the carriages. We booked…
All Star Music – Our Room!
We were welcomed to our room at All Star Music with a towel Mickey! The two double beds always work well as a place to sleep and a place to keep our suitcases and other assorted bags (can you say “SHOPPING”?!?!) The small sitting areas in rooms at the All Stars are great for eating…
