Best Breakfasts at Walt Disney World

Breakfast can be a great time to enjoy some of the wonderful food that Disney has to offer. Many breakfasts are character meals, in which Disney characters come around to your table while you dine, but there are plenty without characters as well. A breakfast is a good way to get an early start to […]

When I went to Disney for the Tower of Terror 10 miler, I had dinner before the race at the Grand Floridian Cafe. Because I love a good pasta dish (before running and otherwise!) I ordered the one pasta meal they had there. It was amazing! I wanted to try and recreate it at home. […]

On my last trip to Disney in October, I was lucky enough to stay in the newest DVC units at the Grand Floridian (newest until the ones at the Poly opens, anyway!). These are housed in a separate building from the main Grand building, just a short walk away. When you enter the building you are […]

Thoughts on Cinderella

January 21, 2015 by beckyginther@gmail.com 5 Comments

Highlights: I like this move because it makes me happy. There is some action and some suspense (will she get locked up in her room after the ball or will the mice be able to free her?). But ultimately it’s all about the cheesy romance, and good overcoming evil. People now may complain that Cinderella is a […]

One of the things that truly makes Disney World so special is their amazing attention to details. There are so many great things in the parks, but today I’m going to share just a few with you: Splash Mountain is one of my favorite rides in WDW because there are so many little details on […]

Wordless Wednesday: The Letter T

It’s time for the letter T! And in Disney, T stands for… Tower of Terror! I rode this in December for the first time in years! Conquered my fear and actually had quite a good time 🙂

Bucket List: Attend a Disney Wedding

The Disney wedding community is one that I am particularly close to, even though I didn’t actually have a wedding at Disney. However, when I was planning my fairy tale themed wedding I stumbled across the DIS boards while searching for inspiration. There I found an amazing group of women (and a few men!) who […]
