My family recently had a wonderful stay at Kidani Village, one of the newest Disney Vacation Club resorts next door to Animal Kingdom Lodge. I love the resort, but the quick service dining options were lacking a bit at least for dining plan choices. This would not stop me from staying here again, but I would…

Everything About Walt Disney World Resorts
All Star Music Family Suite…a photo tour
Many families over four people wonder what resort accommodations are available to them. A few years ago, Disney decided to convert some of the rooms at All Star Music Resort into Family Suites. These suites accommodate 6 people and an infant under 3. The suites have a living area with a sofa that converts…
Kilimanjaro Safari
If you can’t make it to Africa, the next best thing is found at Animal Kingdom at the Kilimanjaro Safari. There’s just not too many places you can see these animals that are roaming free and not in a zoo, which makes it even more special. We recently rode this shortly after the park opened,…
Photos around the Contemporary Resort
I had the privilege to stay at the Contemporary Resort with a wonderful view of the Magic Kingdom last December thanks to the perseverance of our Magic for Less travel agent. What a wonderful place to stay, especially, with the walking path to the Magic Kingdom! From our balcony, we were able to see the…
Animal Kingdom Lodge
By Linda Norton My family and I just returned from a long Disney trip – 11 nights! The objective of this trip was to try new things. It is getting difficult for us to find new things to do after 24 trips in five years, but Disney changes enough so we usually manage to find…

Caribbean Beach Resort
From Our Magically Speaking Newsletter Archive – subscribe today! Published On February 27, 2006, By Erica Colmenares I’ll be honest. The reason we booked a night at the Caribbean Beach Resort this past January wasn’t because we did an extensive search on the internet and in guidebooks, and then made an informed judgment as to…
Sneak Peak at All Star Suites
Special thanks to Michael and Peggy Furtado, who managed to get a peek at the suites being mocked up at the All-Star Resorts. There are actually three models, all somewhat different, that Disney is considering. Don’t look to book these soon, though rest assured something big is coming. Michael did manage to get some photos…
Wilderness Lodge: A Resort Review
By Carol Garcia Many Disney veterans will tell you that there is no bad Disney resort, but there is a Disney resort to fit every person’s tastes. For my family, the resort that fits that bill is Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. We have vacationed there numerous times and are always eagerly awaiting our return. So what…
Pop Century: A Resort Review
By Michelle Leifur “Oh! It’s like a walk down Memory Lane!” “I remember this from when I was a kid!” “Look at this! Can you believe we used to dress like that?” “Mom, please don’t do the Hustle again!” These are just a few comments you might hear spoken by guests at Disney World’s Pop…
A Babysitter at Walt Disney World?
By Carol Garcia There comes a time in every family’s vacation when the quality of the “quality time” spent on vacation with family starts to dip. There can be too many opinions on the next ride or meal, too many interests trying to be met, or too big of an age group to keep everyone…
