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…

It’s all about the FOOD at Walt Disney World
Disney Seasonal Secrets!
Autumn—the weather is cooler, the leaves are changing, pumpkin flavored everything is in season. Even Winnie the Pooh is quoted saying “Autumn! A time of hot chocolatety mornings, and toasting marshmallow evenings, and best of all, leaping into LEAVES!” All in all, Autumn is a beautiful time of year. But the question is, does this…
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….
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…
A Disney Vacation with the Quick Service Dining Plan
About once a year, our family heads south to vacation in Florida at Walt Disney World. The exciting rides, unique shows, and enchanting atmosphere appeal to each member of our family. When free dining becomes available, we simply cannot resist this magical destination. In past years, we enjoyed the full service dining plan which included…
Staying Healthy at Disney
There is nothing more frustrating than arriving at the Happiest Place on Earth, and spending most of your vacation sick in bed. This has probably happened to most of us at one time or another and is not much fun for anybody. I know it’s happened to us before and over the years we have…
Eating Disney-style at home
I don’t know about you, but there is something to be said about dining at the Walt Disney World Resort. I enjoy dining almost as much as I enjoy riding the rides in the parks. Of course for me, it is largely due to the fact that I come from a family that loves to…

Epcot and Kids: FUTURE WORLD
Epcot and Kids – FUTURE WORLD As someone who helps people plan vacations, one of the questions I sometime hear is “What’s in Epcot for Kids?” The answer is PLENTY! Rides, shows and characters abound in Epcot. You just have to get IN to those buildings to find them. From the time my children were…
The Flying Fish Cafe at Disney’s Boardwalk
There are not too many restaurants at Disney where I have not dined, and at the top of my ‘need to try’ list was the Flying Fish Cafe located at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, right on the Boardwalk. Since it was my mom’s birthday and the trip to Florida was rather short-notice, I decided that mom would…
Choosing a Character Meal at Disney World
In a recent post, I debated whether a character meal is worth the splurge and concluded that when taking a trip to the World, dining with famous Disney figures should be included on the agenda. Once the decision is made to reserve one of these meals, the question becomes, “What restaurant do I choose?” Our…
To Buy or Not Buy: A Meal with Characters
Making advanced reservations for sit-down meals and buffets at Disney World is a must! The question for many planners is, “Are the meals worth it?” Furthermore, many parents ask if reserving a meal with the characters merits the splurge. For guests who have purchased either the deluxe or regular dining plans, at least one table…
